Replied last January 05, 2022Cathy is wonderful and it is easy to think she is an attorney because she has over 25 years of Bankruptcy experience as my paralegal. She is also a wonderful person who is sensitive to the anxieties that clients often experience when they are in financial distress. But a successful Bankruptcy is often the BEST way to resolve that stress. Thank you for using my firm. -David Doyaga, Esq.

David Doyaga
Replied last January 05, 2022Lissette, I thank you for your praise. You hit on something VERY IMPORTANT !! "95% fo the success of A Bankruptcy Case depends on correctly and thoroughly prepared Bankruptcy papers." Smart Bankruptcy Lawyers make an extra effort to assure that everything is filled out correctly since they know that is how the case is won or lost. Moreover, the forms are being changed and upgraded all the time and so: "Knowing which forms to use for which kind or Bankruptcy is imperative." We know the way and the forms to use !!! Best of luck to you in the future and enjoy your fresh start; and I do hope you recommend us to your Friends and Family. -David
