Excellent lawyer and a great person

Portia represented me and my husband back in 2013. She educated us about our situation, and gave us comfort by taking control. She did a excellent job in our unique situation. It’s priceless to me. Five years later with excellent credit score of 801 we perchased a home but hade to do FHA loan. We w...ere trying for conventional loan but was denied. We are fine with it. The issues arrived when the loan officer was confused and asked question we couldn’t answer. I called portia douglas thinking she would have forgotten and moved on with bigger problems. I did not believe she would call me back. When she did i was surprised. She remembered us and answered our questions to clarify the confusion we all had. When we first saw her in 2013 she told me and my husband she is our lawyer for life. In 2018 she proved to us that she really is. Great lawyer and a great person as well. What Portia has done for us and continues to do is priceless to me. I can’t believe she remembered us. May God bless her always.

Competent, thorough and no-nonsense professional

Portia took the time to thoroughly work through our complicated chapter 7 bankruptcy case. She investigated every possible angle and walked us through every scenario we might encounter with the process. Ultimately she helped us achieve a successful chapter 7 discharge and keep all of our assets. W...e would absolutely recommend Portia's services to anyone!

Great result!

After first talking to an attorney downtown, and they immediately stated I should go Ch. 13. The info given was confusing and inadequate! I then called Portia in Carmel area after reading good reviews, and am very happy with the results. She immediately reviewed my case and data before offering CH.... 7 or 13 advice. She was thorough and went to bat for me with the trustee and his atty many times. I you are considering filing I would recommend Portia to represent you!

Portia Lynn Douglas Bankruptcy Attorney Indianapolis

My wife and I were caught in the middle of the housing market crash along with downsizing of the company I worked for. We didn't know where to turn for counsel or advice. I saw Portia's website and decided to give her a call. From day one she explained how things worked, options available, and gave c...ounsel as to what she felt was best for our situation. After all things were considered we all agreed chapter 13 was the best option. Thanks to her diligent efforts we are back on the right track, the future looks brighter, and we have peace of mind. She was very courteous, professional, and considerate of the emotional stress placed on us because of our financial turmoil. Thanks Portia, Ray & Brenda
