Brilliantly executed strategy

We hired Dolaghan Law to help us navigate a complex, time-sensitive Chapter 13. Eileen and her staff were highly responsive, she quickly developed a strategy that met all of our goals, and communication throughout the process was excellent. Bankruptcy can be extremely stressful, and I'm pleased to sa...y the only surprise was how quick and easy the process was. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family with similar needs.

MY DIVORCE LAWYER SAID EILEEN DOLAGHAN IS THE BEST BK ATTY IN JAX

My husband and I decided to divorce. We decided that I and our 2 children, ages 13 and 12, should stay in our home of 10 years. However, we owed more on the home than what it was worth. My divorce lawyer suggested that we talk to the best bankruptcy lawyer in Jacksonville, Eileen Dolaghan. Eileen sat... down with both my soon to be ex and myself. In the end, she helped us get a mortgage modification, which lowered our monthly mortgage payment. She also reorganized our necessary major expenses so that we could get over this really stressful time in our lives and move on. THANK YOU EILEEN FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP AND KINDNESS!

Immediate Attention and Relief With Eileen Dolaghan!

When it became apparent that we had no choice but to file bankruptcy, I inquired with a trusted attorney friend of ours who we knew would direct us to the best possible source in Jacksonville to assist us with our case. When we met with Eileen, there was an immediate connection. She was very attentiv...e to our needs, and it was amazing how quickly she provided the relief that we so desperately needed. And to say the least, we were in a highly stressful situation, having dealt with the downturn of the economy and significant health problems over the past several years. If you need someone to hold your hand throughout the entire bankruptcy process, Eileen is you lady. Her experience and in-depth knowledge of the bankruptcy laws are incredible. Every phone call and email was answered swiftly and provided the confidence that we needed in our attorney. Every question was answered and there were no stones left unturned in preparation for meeting with the Trustee at the 341 Meeting of the Creditors; consequently, there were no surprises at the meeting. Eileen is a bright, trustworthy and compassionate person, and is indeed a gem in her industry. If you find you are in financial difficulty beyond what you are able to feasibly manage, a consultation with Eileen may be in order. I assure you, you will not be disappointed. And by the way, it’s nice to be able to lie down at night and sleep again....thanks to Eileen!
