Preeminent Colorado Bankruptcy Lawyer

Chapter 7 • Chapter 11 • Preference & Other Litigation • Alternatives to Bankruptcy • Commercial Real Estate

The Law Office of Jon B. Clarke, P.C. was established in 1992. Before that time, attorney Jon B. Clarke was a shareholder and director of Clarke & Waggener, P.C. — a downtown Denver law firm founded in 1966 — which moved to Denver Tech Center offices in 1983.

Attorney Clarke's practice is focused on the area of insolvency, particularly:

• Chapter 7 bankruptcy
• Chapter 11 bankruptcy
• Alternatives to bankruptcy
• Preference & other litigation
• Commercial real estate in bankruptcy

Currently, Mr. Clarke does not represent Chapter 13 individual regular-income debtors, but he can give you names of experienced attorneys in your area who do.

Extensive Bankruptcy Experience

Mr. Clarke has extensive experience in bankruptcy. He is, in fact, a second generation Colorado bankruptcy attorney, which has allowed him to create an efficient, web-based procedure that does not require you to make a lot of office visits. In 2006, attorney Clarke was named a Colorado SuperLawyer, one of only a few consumer bankruptcy lawyers to achieve this distinction.

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 — which applies to all cases filed after Oct. 16, 2005 — imposes extensive and stringent disclosure requirements on entities providing bankruptcy assistance to prospective clients.

The Act necessitates fundamental changes in client marketing, client intake, client consultation, as well as obtaining client information, conducting pre-bankruptcy analysis and culminating in the filing of a Chapter 7, 11, or 13 petition. At the Law Office of Jon B. Clarke, we focus on acquainting you with the disclosures and notices legally required before we can give meaningful, personalized advice about your unique situation.

Key Bankruptcy Steps

Your first step is to fill out the business, consumer debtor analysis form, so we can determine whether you are an individual debtor. If so, attorney Clarke will determine if your debts are primarily business or consumer in nature. We will then contact you to discuss the type of attorney-client relationship that can then follow.

Mr. Clarke's congressionally mandated procedure for accepting clients is described on our law firm's Becoming A Client and Debt Relief Agency pages. While most cases will fall under the procedures outlined, some very complex cases may require additional office meetings. Mr. Clarke has over 35 years of experience — he is prepared to handle any level of complexity an insolvent individual or business debtor may bring to him.
