Comprehensive Practice Areas

Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Unmanageable debt can derail your life, but federal bankruptcy protection provides a legal path to financial recovery. As experienced bankruptcy lawyers and debt relief lawyers, the firm helps clients choose between Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 reorganization. Chapter 7 eliminates qualifying unsecured obligations such as credit cards and medical debt, allowing clients to protect essential assets under Colorado exemptions. For those with higher income or property at risk, Chapter 13 establishes manageable court-approved repayment plans to halt foreclosure, cure mortgage defaults, and stop vehicle repossession. Individuals looking to find a lawyer who stops creditor harassment receive immediate legal relief through the automatic stay.

Criminal Defense and DUI Advocacy

Facing state criminal charges demands an attorney who understands how prosecutors evaluate and present evidence. Leveraging his background as an elected District Attorney with experience across fourteen Colorado counties, Chris Hefty serves as a staunch advocate among criminal defense lawyers and dui/dwi defense lawyers. He defends clients against operating while impaired allegations, drug offenses, theft charges, and domestic disputes, seeking case dismissals and favorable plea agreements whenever possible.

Personal Injury and Motor Vehicle Collisions

When reckless drivers cause serious harm, victims face heavy medical bills and lost wages. Functioning as compassionate accident and injury lawyers and car accident lawyers, the firm investigates crash liability, negotiates with stubborn insurance carriers, and pursues full financial compensation for injured clients.
