Bankruptcy Attorney

Ms. Powell is an excellent attorney. She knows the bankruptcy laws very well. She guided me through the entire process with such ease. Very thorough and professional. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a bankruptcy attorney.

Great outcome and knew what to expect every step of the way!

Dana first reviewed my case and discuessed the options available to me and helped guide me to make a decision I had not previously considered and I could not be happier with the results. We proceeded with a Chapter 7 bankruptcy under her guidance. She was patient and very thourough with the collectio...n of all necessary documentation. She assisted me with decisions I was facing, focusing on placing me in the best possible position to succeed after bankruptcy and moving forward. I stressed every single portion of the process and she was able to calm me and inform me on any part I did not completely understand and I believed in her expertise. She was very detailed in what to expect during the process and what possible outcomes we could be facing. It was a great decision for my life and moving forward has been incredible without previous debts hanging over my head and has done wonders for the stress in my life. Was by far one of the ebst decisions I have made in a long time.
