My go-to girl

Ms. Brazen is not only a wealth of knowledge but very honest. I was fortunate to have her on a couple of cases against me. She was able to negotiate a reasonable settlement on one case while fighting to dismiss the second. She very thorough and competent. I feel comfortable calling her when I need he...lp or have any questions.

Made a depressing process so much better!

There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful Diane is at handling not only the practicalities of filing bankruptcy, but also the emotional aspects. From the very beginning I could tell she had my best interests at heart, and was determined to make it as easy a process as possible. And I wa...s one of those clients who worried about everything! She knows the system and the processes inside out, and she guides you gently through everything you need to do, and not do. And she keeps you focused on the end result, which is freedom from the mess you've made. She didn't let me get dragged down in details, but had me keep moving forward in a positive way to do what I needed to do. And she made everything so simple, and easy to understand. Her legal knowledge is clearly exceptional, but above and beyond that, she has incredible integrity and that meant a lot to me. I highly, highly recommend her services.

Exceptional Representation

Diane was not only a very knowledgeable attorney who gave us expert guidance in our very challenging situation but she was also extremely kind, supportive and not judgmental in any way. We would never have imagined in our wildest dreams that we would ever have to face anything like bankruptcy but une...xpected health emergencies and subsequent job loss led us to that unimaginable place. My husband and I are very grateful that Diane was there to guide and support us through this very challenging time.

Will recommend to everyone!

Diane is the best attorney. I'd recommend her to everyone. She's knowledgeable, and gave me a chance to go through the ch 7 process with dignity, calmed my fears, and made the process easier than I could of ever expected. It was because of how caring of an attorney she is that I am able to start o...ver. She responded to my questions promptly, filed my papers on time. She is the best attorney! Thank you again Diane for all of your hard work!

Extremely Pleased, Highly Recommended

Diane is extremely knowledgeable and was very helpful throughout our case. She has a very professional and calm demeanor. She responded promptly to calls and emails and explained things to the level of detail that we would understand. We did a lot of research on bankruptcy ahead of time and had a ...lot of questions. It really felt like it was a team effort as we felt engaged in the entire process. We have already recommended her to a friend with a similar situation to ours.
