Exceptional Services
Lisa and her firm assisted my son and I through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It was an unfortunate thing to have to go thru but Lisa could not have been more professional, and helpful through the entire process. Complete transparency about the process and expectations. Highly recommend.

Excellent bankruptcy attorney
My Chapter 7 bankruptcy went quickly and smoothly. Ms. Doran was not only professional, expertly guiding me through each step of the bankruptcy process, but she was also very kind. I would definitely recommend Lisa Doran to anyone who needs to file for bankruptcy.
Lisa M. Doran's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
