“I was drowning in debt. My credit cards were through the roof and I had other issues too. I had kids who depended on me and I was completely stressed out. Every time the phone rang I would almost feel like I was getting a panic attack. I knew I had a problem, and so did all the people I owed money to. My parents and family helped along the way, but it was always a temporary relief of a permanent problem. I was ashamed and scared because I value being an honest person and pay my bills. Have I been perfect with my money… no. But, I also wasn’t going on shopping sprees… I was just living life, got some bad breaks and realized I was in serious trouble.
Not only did I not want to call a lawyer, I didn’t even know where to start. Would it be wise to just take the first one I found online? How could I know if they knew what they were doing? Was this going to help or just be another financial burden? All these questions were eating away at me. How could I be free from harassing calls? Would I be free or is the best I could do?
I was going to see a bankruptcy attorney, doesn’t this mean I have failed? There are a lot of insecurities I faced. Finally, I hit the point where I was more concerned with being free than keeping my pride. Tom (my lawyer) was patient with me, but I would also hear things I didn’t want to hear. Finally, after a few months, everything was finalized and I looked at my numbers in disbelief. Having a lawyer than knows what he is doing is a great thing. If you are looking for an attorney in Denver for bankruptcy, call Tom because he’s great to work with.”
