Lisa M. Doran, Esq.

I was on the verge of losing my home. I made an appointment with Attorney Lisa M. Doran. I was short on money, but she was willing to accept less money than required. She not only helped me financially, she took the time to make sure I understood everything I needed to know. There was so much that I didn't know about bankruptcy. She took the time to write and explain all the information she was giving.. I am and shall be always, be grateful and full of gratitude for the expert and professional attention she has shown me. With the assistance of Atty. Lisa M. Doran, I am happy to be able to say I still own my home. . I hope I will never need her help again, but I am glad to know I if I should, she is there.

Very professional

Being confronted with a chapter 13, we were immediately reassured when we talked with Lisa. She took over and walked us through every step. We don’t know how we would have managed otherwise, and are thankful we found her and her law firm. We highly recommend Doran and Doran.

"I endorse this lawyer. Lisa has the highest ethics and knowledge of the law in this area. I have worked with her on numerous cases over the past 15+ years. If, at any time, I have a conflict with a client, Lisa is the first person who comes to mind to recommend as an alternative."

Vincent Rubino

Bankruptcy and debt Attorney | Jan 13
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked with Lisa Doran in the bankruptcy arena for the past 30 years, often on opposing sides. Attorney Doran is widely considered one of the most knowledgeable attorneys practicing before the Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. She routinely appears in court - possibly more than any attorney I know - and is highly respected by bankruptcy judges and other attorneys in the bar. Most of all , Attorney Doran understands the needs of her clients and never fails to provide them with sound, expert advice. I highly recommend Attorney Doran to potential clients seeking representation with respect to a bankruptcy matter."

William Schwab

Bankruptcy and debt Attorney | Dec 09
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've practiced against Lisa for almost my entire bankruptcy career. I find her reasonable to work with and always level headed. She is always up to date on the law and is very prompt in getting back to you with an answer to any questions you might have. She never asks for unreasonable requests."

David Harris

Bankruptcy and debt Attorney | Dec 07
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked with Lisa for the past several decades and endorse her as a result of the top notch quality of her work. When I have a conflict and and unable to attend to a matter, she is my first to whom I make a referral."
