Excellent experience

I just wanted to say Mr.Doty is a very excellent attorney. He is precise and he keeps you involved in case. He keeps in touch with you about what’s happening in your case. I would recommend him to anyone that needs help in their bankruptcy case. He is the best!

My family is safe for good due to Stephen Doty’s amazing legal knowledge and professionalism.

Stephen wasn’t my first lawyer however he is the best I have ever hired. Over the last few years I have got to know Stephen as a friend and a professional who was recommended to me by my best friend. He came through for both of us. For my family Stephen made the very flawed legal system work in m...y sons favor To keep him safe from a very bad environment. I am a fighter, Mr Doty is a composed intelligent fighter. It is amazing to watch him work in the courtroom. He will help you through hard times and communication is rock solid. Do what he tells you to do and you have the best possible chance for a good outcome in our legal system that leaves justice at the door of the court house. He won for our son.

it takes a minute for him to get back to me and sometimes he doesn't get back to me at all but he has helped us a lot with us no

The only thing that I am concerned about is that a year almost a year after we went into bankruptcy after signing the contract for time 725 per month for the bankruptcy the payment went up to 792 a year later almost a company called the time investment Water solutionsput an attachment the time inve...stment company and that concerns me a lot because I didn't realize and I'm under the impression that people cannot just keep attaching to the bankruptcy because that's why we filed bankruptcy could we have no money and to save our home because of owegn mortgage company so I don't understand once we sign the bankruptcy contract how much later it could go up we only draw $1,200 a month and 800 if it goes to the bankruptcy and now they're saying cuz I know for a fact we were only $5,000 behind and now they're saying 12000 I don't understand what is going on can someone please explain this to me thank you very much my name is Wilhelm.R.

Thank you

When my 6 year old son died from cancer in 2014, I started falling behind on everything. I didn't work for a while year after and almost lost every thing. For these years I been in a dark deep whole that I've been trying to come out of. When the Covid19 pandemic started I lost my job and it's the day... I decided to file bankruptcy. I was referred to Attorney Doty by a good friend. My attorney assured me that he would hold my hand through the whole process and he sure did. He explained in detail and have me a list of things to follow. From beginning to end, the process was smooth. Today I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders, thanx to Attorney Doty I can breath better and I feel like I have been given a second chance to live and continue raise my other 2 boys without feeling like I'm drowning. God bless you!
