Denver's primary office is at 360 Stonycreek Street, Johnstown, PA, 15901-1959. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new bankruptcy attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Denver usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Denver discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in bankruptcy practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Denver for a bankruptcy case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Denver walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Denver offer a free consultation?

  Denver charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Denver's office. Some bankruptcy attorneys offer free consults — check Denver's current terms during booking.

• How long do bankruptcy cases in Pennsylvania typically take?

  Simple bankruptcy matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Denver gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Denver take my case if I'm outside Johnstown?

  Denver is licensed in Pennsylvania. Matters governed by Pennsylvania law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Denver will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Denver?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Denver will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Denver accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

  Denver's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
