Calm, Competent Presence

Filing a personal bankruptcy is not an easy decision but sometimes it is a smart decision needed to get the fresh start our law provides. Dayten is a calm, competent presence who guided me skillfully through a bankruptcy filing and helped me get on my feet again. Terrific staff also.

Posted by Bill | October 02, 2009 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Knowledgable, Reassuring and Very Experienced

Without a doubt, Mr. Hanson was very pleasurable to work with during a very humbling and trying time in our lives. During the entire process Mr. Hanson was very straight forward and reassuring in our legal endeavor. His calming manner certainly created a deep sense of confidence in our selection. ...If anyone is in the need of a bankruptcy attorney Dayten Hanson should be first on their list to call.
