Best Bankruptcy Attorney!
My wife and I contacted Norman and within a few days had a consultation to let us know our options ahead of time as to which bankruptcy would be the best. His team is very friendly and knowledgeable. Norman made sure when we had our first in person meeting to let us know of the challenges that we would face and help us through those hurdles. The whole process was pretty easy and once we got all the paperwork filled out, the case was filed pretty quickly. Would definitely recommend anyone needing a bankruptcy to go through Kansas Bankruptcy Center!

Great experience
I never thought I would need to file for bankruptcy but as my debt kept piling up it was a never ending cycle. I took a chance and set up a free consultation, I figured someone in his office would call but was surprised when Mr Douglas called himself. He was very understanding and explained the process very clearly, do to covid we did everything over the phone and email. The entire process was fairly painless and him and his staff were all very polite and helpful. I never felt like is was being judged for my situation. I would definitely recommend anyone to the Douglas group.

Bankruptcy
Jennifer, and sorry forgot other young ladies name who assisted me when I had a bit of a breakdown because my case and monthly dollar amount was being raised. I was so upset and spoke with Norman's assistants and they treated me like a human being and not just a number! I cancelled my appt because my family and I caught COV19 and was a nervous wreck anyway! They reached out to me and I spoke with Norman a couple of weeks later and he was just as kind and caring as his people! You dont cross the paths of many attorney's that actually care about the people they are servicing, but these people actually do. I would highly recommend this group if you are facing a hardship and have to file bankruptcy to gain some financial relief...people forget what you do for them but they never forget how you make them feel. Thank all of you for what you do for the people in this county...God bless and keep you all is my prayer!!

Satisfied client
The lawyer took time to understand the entirety of my situation and was empathetic. The entire process was handled professionally. It seemed to take a long time for actual filing of my case but the pandemic didn’t help the situation. Overall pleased with this attorney and would recommend his office.
Response from Norman Douglas October 20, 2020
Thank you for the positive feedback! Since I don't know who you are, I will mention that the pandemic did cause a bit of a speed bump as most everyone transitioned to working from home instead of the office. But I am happy you were pleased overall!

Norman E. Douglas was a very affordable and professional lawyer. He walked me through the process from beginning to end. Pointed me in the right direction and made things happen. The firm always emailed me about what was happening or how long things would take which made me feel at ease through the whole thing. Definitely a firm I would recommend.

Exceptional staff!!
From start to finish this office provided excellent assistance. It is a difficult time in life when dealing with unpleasant stuff. However, with the help of Me. Douglas and his staff we got through it. They take you step by step so you understand completely what you are doing. Always answer questions when you email within an hour. Going to the trustee meeting is scary, but Mr. Douglas was with us and made it a breeze! So glad we chose this firm to help us. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing exceptional, caring, honest and friendly attorney, and staff!!
