NOTICE TO LITIGANTS
You have been named as a defendant in an adversary proceeding, the outcome of which may affect your bankruptcy discharge. Even if you have already received a discharge, this is a serious matter that you should not ignore.
Individual litigants are entitled to appear without an attorney and represent themselves in the Bankruptcy Court. However, the rules can be quite technical and failure to comply with the rules can have severe consequences. Before deciding to appear on your own, you should consider consulting an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may contact:
Faculty of Federal Advocates
Bankruptcy Pro Bono Program
Ms. Peggy Lord, Administrator
Bankruptcy PRO BONO Program
1200 Seventeenth Street, Suite 3000
Denver, Colorado 80202
303.628.9669
Fax: 303.623.9222

Upon contact, you will be screened for eligibility and, if it is determined that you are eligible, an attorney may be found who will represent you without payment of attorneys’ fees. You may, however, still be responsible for payment of costs. When you make contact with the above noted organization, please have a copy of the Summons and Complaint with you.
