I recommend Dawn to anyone in financial crisis

My wife and I contacted Dawn about our financial situation. We were struggling and couldn't pay all our bills. We thought bankruptcy would be a complecated thing to do, but after consulting with Dawn we trusted her and filed bankruptcy. She told us that if we did everything she told us to do, that we... could buy a house in 2 years. Well, my wife and I each have a new car and an awesome house we just bought 3 weeks ago. Almost exactly 2 years after filing bankruptcy. I'm writing this review because I want people who are considering bankruptcy to know that Dawn can help you out of a hole and get you a fresh start.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. I get this question so often - people think that bankruptcy will be impossible to bounce back from, but everyone deserves a fresh start and a chance to get their life in order and bankruptcy can really help people do that. I'm so happy for your new house - that's really exciting! :)

Highly recommend for bankruptcy and debt relief help

I owned a small business that was unfortunately too highly leveraged from the outset and slowly began to sink. I was beyond stressed when I received a judgement notice from a credit card. I was so lucky to find Dawn's very easy to navigate website, and she called me back instantly. Dawn is SO ...smart, she knows every in and out for PA bankruptcy and she took the time to walk me through all my options and legal ramifications. We looked at the advantages/disadvantages of both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. She is experienced, and because of this she was able to help me know what to expect through the process. She put my mind at ease and I felt fantastic having her in my corner to navigate our very thorny legal system. Because of the assets in the business my Chapter 7 ended up being fairly complicated, but Dawn was always one step ahead of the process and I always felt prepared. Bankruptcy honestly scared me more than anything in my life ever had, and Dawn was really able to give me a sense of control during the process and also a sense of perspective. She is a very kind person and she made me feel so much better about the whole situation and she took away some of the inevitable feelings of guilt and judgement that I was going through personally. The highest praise I could give Dawn is to recommend her to family/friends and I have already done this. Honestly, you won't find a more knowledgeable, committed, and caring lawyer anywhere. Give her a call and start taking back your life, I promise things are MUCH better on the back end of this process!

Effective and very patient

One of my adult children needed to file bankruptcy. Dawn was very patient. She helped us review the situation and determine whether bankruptcy was appropriate or not and which type to file. She was available to answer questions through the entire process. Since she was not in town at the time of the ...hearing, she lined up Kara Gendron for the hearing. Dawn handed everything. It was completely stress free and went off without any problems. I highly recommend her.

I was drowning and scared as I had no clue what to do.

I was drowning and scared as I had no clue what to do. When I contacted Dawn she treated me like a person, with respect. She walked me through all the steps and she answered my millions of questions. She wasn't pushy and made me feel extremely comfortable. She made the process as simple and easy as s...he could for me. I am so glad that I hired her. There really isn't anyone better. In all the stress and chaos with my debt situation, she made me feel less scared and that there was hope. I am forever grateful for her, she is the best!

Chapter 7

Dawn is a consummate professional not only did she help me get my financial situation straightened out in 2012 while representing me for my bankruptcy , some of the issues followed me to present day and she quickly ratified the situation while on vacation. That is definitely the lawyer I want repres...enting me.
