About Nikki
Nikki Farris earned her law degree from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law in 2000 after completing a B.A. in Business Administration at Pacific Union College in 1995. She moved from undergraduate studies into law school at a time when bankruptcy law was beginning to shift in response to changing consumer debt patterns. Her academic record laid a practical groundwork for a career that would bridge two state bars and several legal communities.
Her earliest legal work placed her in public service. She served as an assistant at the Denver District Lawyer's Office, handling matters that exposed her to courtroom procedure and client advocacy. That early experience in a government office gave her a steady exposure to litigation and case management. It also provided context for the private-practice choices she made later.
In 2004 she was part of Baker & Farris, Lawyers at Law, where she practiced as a lawyer and broadened her exposure to consumer-oriented matters. The partnership there lasted several years and overlapped with a move toward specialization. By 2006 she had become active in professional groups that concentrate on bankruptcy law, signaling a shift in her day-to-day practice toward consumer insolvency issues.
Farris founded The Law Office of Nikki Farris in 2014. She has run that practice since then. The firm has allowed her to concentrate on individual clients and smaller businesses seeking debt relief. She holds memberships in the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers and the Sacramento Valley Bankruptcy Forum dating back to 2006. She is also a member of the California Bar Association and has been connected to the Butte County Bar Association since 2014. Those affiliations suggest steady involvement in the bankruptcy bar and local legal community.
Licensed in both Colorado and California, Farris draws on experience in public office, private partnership, and solo practice. She represents debtors in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 matters, counsels clients on bankruptcy options, and handles related motions and adversary proceedings. Her work routinely involves bankruptcy filings, plan negotiations, and hearings. She approaches cases with a pragmatic sense of what courts and trustees expect, and she often guides clients through the procedural steps of a bankruptcy case.
Peers and clients see her as a lawyer who understands the mechanics of consumer bankruptcy and the realities her clients face. She maintains active memberships in regional and national bankruptcy organizations and practices through The Law Office of Nikki Farris. Her current practice focuses on consumer bankruptcy and related debt relief matters.
