BANKRUPTCY
I have used this firm in the past to file bankruptcy and here I am again using the same firm to file another bankruptcy case. They are the best! They were able to help me in the past and again they have succeeded to help me. Thank you Doyaga for all of your help!!

Replied last June 06, 2021Yvonne, thank you so much for your kind words. So often people are afraid to take the step to file Bankruptcy, only to discover the great relief they experience when it's over; particularly when the process is made painless through the work of very experienced Bankruptcy attorneys. It might interest you to know that this is my 40th year as an attorney and with thousands of Bankruptcies under my belt I have seen it all. Good luck to you in the future and remember to refer us to all your friends and family that need help. -David Doyaga

Great service, highly recommend!
I received great service throughout the duration of my case. Very helpful, flexible payment plans. I have zero complaints. I highly recommend this law firm.
David Doyaga
Replied last June 06, 2021Thank you so much for the positive review, your high recommendation and, a special thank you for mentioning our "flexible payment plans." It should be obvious that people in financial distress need to be able to pay the fee in installments or at their own pace. So we provide that service. Frankly, I am amazed a lot of attorneys don't. My office will continue to be available for questions you may have and I wish you the best of luck. -David Doyaga

Replied last June 06, 2021Mr. Gonzalez, I am so happy knowing we did a good job for you. and that you were relieved from the crushing weight of your debt. I also want to thank you for mentioning that you filed Bankruptcy before over 8 years ago. It is not unusual these days, given the economic ups and downs, for a person to file twice and there is certainly no shame in it. Many people file bankruptcy twice or more. I hope to help the friends and relatives your refer to us in the years to come. Best of luck in the future, -David Doyaga

Filed for bankruptcy and I am now able to buy a home
I filed for bankruptcy in 2012 due to the loss of my employment. I hired David Doyaga to help me through the process of filing for bankruptcy which was very difficult for my family and I. Mr. Doyaga assured me that after my bankruptcy was discharged, that I would be able to rebuild my credit. My bank...

Replied last May 30, 2021Dear TC, it is always great to hear from clients who stay in touch and let me and Cathy from my staff know they are able to buy a home after bankruptcy. Bankruptcy truly does provide a fresh start and it is true that you can build your credit back up and get a mortgage after Bankruptcy to buy a new home. You have really turned your financial future around and I am very happy for you. It often takes guts to take the first step to clearing up our financial problems and retain an attorney to file for Bankruptcy and begin the road to financial recovery. Good for you and your family and I was glad to help. -David Doyaga
