"Elisa brings compassion and sympathy to the client relationship, which made all the difference to me throughout a difficult time in my life."
Amy — Highlands Ranch, September 2010
"Bankruptcy can be an intimidating and disheartening experience. I was fortunate enough to have Ms. Weselis make the process as quick and painless as possible. She was always there to respond to my questions or concerns, often responding to email within minutes of sending them despite being late at night. I've always passed on recommendations when I've received exceptional service and this is one of those times. Looking back it is hard to image what all of the worry was about. Thank you Ms. Weselis for your diligence and hard work."
Keith — Mack, CO, April, 2012
"My wife and I had over $80,000 in credit card debt from our past small business. When our first baby was born, we knew we needed to make a drastic change in our lives and started considering the options available to us. Elisa Weselis demystified the bankruptcy process and cleared up some common misconceptions about its consequences. Aside from not wanting a Ch. 7 on our credit record, one of the main things that was keeping us from filing was the fear of facing the bankruptcy court. Elisa simplified the filing process and accurately described the minimal interaction that we would have with the trustee. She also accurately advised us on the likelihood that we would get to keep most of our assets. Our case was very complicated due to our business, and Elisa never charged any additional fees than what was previously agreed to. Having dealt with other attorneys in the past, this was very refreshing. In short, we are extremely happy with Elisa's assistance through the process. She not only guided us to correctly fill out the forms, but she also dealt with our creditors' calls, helped us provide the trustee with the additional information she needed, and most importantly, never made us feel shame or guilt for our financial situation."
Sally — Atwood, CO, May, 2012
"The thought of filing bankruptcy was a scary process for me. Elisa Weselis was able to help me through the whole process. She answered all my questions and brought things to light that I may never have thought about. She was available to me over email which made communicating with her while I was at work easier. No co-workers could over hear my conversations and that was a plus for me. I have recommended Elisa to a friend of mine who was in way over her head after adopting her grandchildren. I will recommend her again and again."
Susan — Denver, January 2011

"We were lost and, frankly, depressed when we met with the lawyers at Weselis & Suchoparek. We came out with a plan, and eventually we were able to get back on our feet again.” "
Anne — Bents Fort, CO, December, 2011
"I want to first thank you for our initial meeting and making me feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel by dispelling our fear and embarrassment of being ‘bankrupt’. When in consultation, Mr. Suchoparek listened to us first, then advocated a strategy. This was very important. As a client, we are pleased that we remain in our home and the relief (we received) of constant phone calls. I believe this would not have happened if not for professional focus. His humor and candor in the midst of the stress of the process allowed us to feel optimism for fighting a good fight. Importantly, he always treated us well and as an asset in this effort to overcome the challenges. Above all, though my case may be very small in comparison to others, our gratitude, I hope you will accept as being equal to none."
SmilieBug — Lakewood, January 2011
"We are extremely pleased with the representation Michael Suchoparek provided during our recent bankruptcy. Michael saved us thousands of dollars and even got an IRS commitment erased. All throughout the procedure he was efficient, friendly and professional. I felt from the beginning that he had our personal interest at heart and cared for us personally."
