After years of searching, I was referred Dunne Law Offices, P.C.
Initially I wanted some general information about improving my credit score. I reached out to Mr. Dunne for consultation on accounts in my credit report that was significantly hurting my score. After reviewing my information, Mr. Dunne explained in detail the best approach to resolve my credit issues to achieve a successful outcome.
He is professional and always returned emails in a timely manner.
His knowledge of Bankruptcy Law and debt resolution is excellent. I highly recommend Dunne Law Offices, P.C. to anyone.
I can honestly say, contacting Mr. Dunne was the best decision l could have made.
When it comes support, expertise and experience Mr. Dunne has truly raised the "Bar".
I first contacted Mr Dunne after being referred by a colleague. From the initial consultation he provided excellent counsel throughout the process. He was always readily available and very responsive to any questions or issue I had. He walked me through several complicated situations tangentially related to my bankruptcy by providing me with direct and specific honest advice. He was compassionate and nonjudgmental which made a difficult situation much easier. I would and have continued to highly recommend him to anyone seeking bankruptcy advice.

He listened patiently to me and advise my next course of action. Very knowledgeable and responsive

Amazing Lawyer
Stephen was there for me every step of the way, and answered every questions I ever asked of him. He is professional and very knowledgable, but has a very personable side. He talks to you like Human being and is wonderful at translating the often convoluted legal language. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a Bankruptcy Lawyer.

Very Proactive and Informative`
I was referred to Stephen from another individual. From the moment I first emailed him and asked to speak with him, he called me within 4 hours of the email and it was at 7 pm at night. He was very patient with me and I had a good hundred questions that I needed him to answer and he was excellent and never became impatient with me. He required a good deal of information upfront and the day we went before the Court Appointed Rep, I truly understood how organized and professional Stephen was. I would recommend him to anyone who is faced with this tough decision.

A Cut Above the Rest
Recently, due to a host of reasons, I found myself in the unenviable position of having to tell my hard working wife that I could see the boulders on the track ahead, and that it was time for me to file bankruptcy before I smashed into it. The next step was to consult professionals for advice, direction, and pricing. I had about given up on lawyers after my 6th consultation, and was resigned to try it alone, and then Stephen's offices were reffered to me by my wife who was a customer of US Financial Education Services. As soon as I heard his tone I perked up. This guy was not in immediate haste to sell me on bankruptcy and get the heck off of the phone. Stephen was witty, pithy, bright, kind, and above all else: PATIENT!! How many pre-pay patient lawyers do you know? At any rate, he provided direction and wisdom above and beyond the call of duty, has put up with all of my crap, and has bent over backwards for my family. I
That's saying a lot, believe you me. If you are being pinned down by soul crushing debt and want the way out that is most affordable, comfortable, and reassuring look no further; Dunne Law Offices, P. C. is the place, and Stephen Dunne is the man.
Most sincerely,
Ian Scott Macomber

Attorney Stephen Dunne just flat out ROCKS!
I found myself in a REALLY tough situation.
I was facing eviction, a very large amount of unpaid debt, and no real income.
The letters, non-stop phone calls, and even lawsuits had begun, and on top of that, I had just lost my father, and then my mother in under a year..
Not knowing any attorneys in this area, and embarrassed to ask my friends, I called several attorneys and I got the run around and felt like it was a bit of a circus.
Then I saw Stephen written up in a magazine as one of the best in the area, and I went to see him, and after a consultation and a long call, I knew he was the one.
Stephen is VERY knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and most importantly, he REALLY helped me feel relaxed and unafraid. He walked me through the entire process step by step, followed up, ALWAYS answered his emails and returned my calls quickly.
The entire process was seamless, and he goes way above and beyond the call of duty.
If you're in the Philadelphia area, I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Stephen Dunne, he will help you massively through the process of helping you get a fresh start.

Knowledgeable & Affordable, Diligent, Attentive,Available and Compassionate Attorney
I contacted Bankruptcy Law Firm of Stephen M. Dunne a couple months ago regarding a personal bankruptcy case. Stephen was very proficient, compassionate and responsive. He was exceptionally sensitive to the difficulties of bankruptcy for me personally. Never did I feel judged, which was very important to me. He always returned my phone calls and emails and I felt safe and in good hands throughout the whole process. He helped me to get my life back on track. I am extremely grateful for that, and therefore I would recommend Bankruptcy Law Firm of Stephen M. Dunne to anyone, seeking a bankruptcy attorney who performs in the best interest of his clients. Thank you Stephen for all your help and support in handling my bankruptcy case, and for making the experience of filing my chapter 7 bankruptcy so simple and stress free.

Above & Beyond the Call of Duty
Dunne Law Office went above and beyond the call of duty of my case. The counseling and guidance I received not only helped me in my bankruptcy case, but helped me understand the law in general.

Thanks for helping me take back financial control
Dunne Law Offices bring a positive attitude towards helping people with their bankruptcy case. That helped, especially when I felt I didn't have the right to feel positive about my situation. Helping me through my situation with expertise is what I expected from a lawyer. What I didn't expect was the feeling that you weren't just filing paperwork, but that you were helping me to take control of my situation, and realize I can come out of this feeling more confident about my future. Thank You for everything.

A-ma-zing!
Anyone who is considering bankruptcy should contact Mr. Dunne immediately. After a twenty minute consultation, I knew I had found the best lawyer for the job. Before meeting Mr. Dunne the idea of filing seemed overwhelming, embarrassing, almost impossible - but he walked me through every step with ease! I would recommend Dunne Law Offices to anyone and everyone...what are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and call!

Worthless
Don't be fooled! I gave this guy $750 to help me separate my school loan from my ex wife's and this guy did NOTHING!
I even paid to find my my wife's address!
He wrote one letter and then refused to send it to the parents house!
0% accomplished!! NOTHING!
$750 DOWN THE TOILET!
I should have thought this through before sending him any money!

Response from Stephen DunneJune 29, 2019
Dear Dominick:
I am sorry that our legal representation relationship did not work out. Unfortunately, you signed a school loan aka student loan and you voluntarily executed a valid Promissory Note which makes you liable for the student loan - a fact you did not mention when you telephoned our office.
I provided plenty of "worthy" legal advice to you and I spent several hours working on your legal matter including telephone calls; letters; faxes; and e-mails to PHEAA; yourself and reviewing all the PHEAA material (PHEAA Letter; PHEAA Promissory Note) as well as reviewing the Marital Settlement Agreement and Divorce Decree between yourself and your ex-wife in order to ascertain your legal rights and determine your legal options to help your resolve the matter.
I cannot reveal the specifics of my legal advice in this public forum but I have explained to you what to do.
I have honored our legal agreement and as a Veteran I have a tendency to honor all legal agreements.
Thank you.
Stephen M. Dunne, Esq.
