Dana Power,a great resource

I first met Ms. Power when she was working with another local attorney. I had spoken to approximately five other attorneys concerning my case. She was a breath of fresh air. She quickly implemented an action plan, and made me feel at ease. She always returned calls and e-mails promptly. I have recomm...ended her to friends and would not hesitate to do so in the future. If you are seeking guidance with bankruptcy, Ms. Power is a great resource !

Exceeded expectations

I interviewed several bankruptcy attorneys I was referred to Dana through a friend of mine Even though she was 45 minutes from my house and over a bridge tunnel away from me after meeting her I felt like she would be able to do what I need to get done My simple bankruptcy that turned into a more co...mplex nightmare because of a ex-wife and business partner situations and several businesses involved as well as my personal stuff etc. Dana did a fantastic job getting everything altogether get what I needed to my trustee. I never really dealt with the trustee she took care of everything for me when I needed to get her something she she told me I got it to her and she took care of it. I most certainly would recommend her and think you're crazy if you did not use her

Dana Power is an exceptional attorney who exhibits a great attention to detail and provides individualized attention. She would return calls promptly, was efficient, and offered solid advice for financial security in the future. Where declaring personal bankruptcy is humiliating and depressing, she... gave us hope and told us ways we could improve our credit. She provided us great relief in a very stressful situation

If you can only pick one - let it be Dana Power!

No one starts off in a venture thinking they will end up financially pinned and/or destitute in need of a drastic action like filing for bankruptcy. But if that time comes, just like with everything else worth doing correctly, you want to find the strongest possible lawyer to provide the best possib...le advice. That is what you get with Dana Power; she is honest, tough and will guide you down the path but you must also know there will be much asked of you in the form of data calls and providing her team information to satisfy your trustee and the court so you can put the terrible mess behind you. Dana’s expert counsel provided us answers, solutions and the best possible outcome. In the end, her recommendations proved out to be sound and correct. I did my due diligence, Dana is well respected among her peers and when the time came it was evident she enjoyed an outstanding working relationship with our assigned trustee. We were extremely grateful and pleased with Dana’s service and found her staff responsive and knowledgeable. Dana has our strongest personal recommendation to anyone in need of filing bankruptcy because she’s that good!
