Douglas Robert Gorius

My wife and I had a very atypical CH7 case with multiple properties and other complications that, at first glance, made it look like our case wouldn't pass the presumption of abuse test. In fact, it failed when we used the supplied calculator. So going in I thought we might have to file a CH13. Do...ug reviewed our situation and felt confident we could file a successful CH7. He expertly navigated the issues and helped us throughout the process, including amending the paperwork more than once as the case evolved, due to a very picky Trustee. Ultimately we received our CH7 discharge and did not have to pay anything to the Trustee. We were as thrilled as two bankrupt people could be! My advice: Be prepared. Help Doug help you. Have all of your financial information together, including how much is owed to which creditor, your assets, etc. and put your income and expenses in writing (we used a spreadsheet -- like I said, complicated case).

Douglas Gorius helped me in a very difficult time. Doug's knowledge of the laws coupled with his personality and compassion for those he helps was what gave me and my family the peace of mind we finally needed. Doug took over our case at the request of the courts since our previous attorney disappear...ed without any notice. Doug happen to be in court the day we were scheduled for a very difficult hearing in our case. We had no representation and no contact from the attorney we had hired. Doug was in court that day for his other clients, he was known not only by the judge, but by the trustee and many within the court room. Doug saw how distraught we were and when asked by the judge, he accepted the responsibility to represent us going forward. It is hard to explain what a relief it was to have Doug on our side. Doug met with us soon after that court appearance, he quickly came up to speed with our case which was almost 4 years old and in no time had our minds at ease, all of the proper paperwork filed on our behalf and walked us through the steps to ensure our case made it through to the final discharge. Doug's knowledge of the law's pertaining to bankruptcy, his knowledge of the trustees and the court system make him one of the best in his field, in our opinion. Add to that his ability to relate to everyone and explain complex matters in such a way that you can understand them makes working with Doug very easy, even during a difficult time in your life. I recommend Douglas Gorius without hesitation or reservation. If I ever need legal guidance Douglas will be my first call.

Doug is a knowledgeable, trustworthy lawyer who is calm under pressure and most helpful when you need it. When I had financial problems, Doug represented me, gave me sound advice and was calm and focused when I needed him. Whether a friend of mine had a criminal issue, civil problem or financial di...stress, I would recommend Doug because he is a guy who will tell you the truth and represent you well. In a world where finding someone with honesty and character is difficult, I trust Doug and I respect him.

Doug had my back every step of the way and still does. We were strangers when I walked into his office for the first time, but we became friends while trudging through my legal morass together, and I don't see how I could have made it through it without him. Give him a call if you need a bankruptcy... lawyer. Thanks for all your hard work, Doug!
