Thank you Diane and Jay!

Diane is a great attorney that made our BK experience as smooth as possible. Before seeing Diane, we went to another attorney who told us that he couldn't get us a Ch.7 and our only option was a 13 and that is when we found Diane Drain. The entire process starting with the free phone consultation to a couple meetings in the office got us the Ch. 7 we needed. Diane communicates well through the entire process by phone and detailed emails. She explains everything that needs to be done. If you do your part and put in the work to make sure everything is accurate, then she will do hers and you will have great results. Thank you Diane and Jay for everything. We appreciate it. C&P.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy

30%

Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases are very complex, even for the "simple" ones. Chapter 13 work is very unique and most general bankruptcy attorneys do not know who to complete a 13. The problem is that client's personal situation changes, income changes or their goals change. A good chapter 13 attorney must anticipate these changes and be willing to help a client throughout the entire 3 to 5 year process. In Arizona less than 2% of chapter 13 debtors are successful if they try this on their own.

I am both a lawyer and law professor. I am focused on education and preparation. I insist that my clients be actively involved in their bankruptcy. A good bankruptcy takes many hours of planning' somewhat like a great vacation. It is important to customize every bankruptcy to the unique issues of the particular client. A bankruptcy cannot be mass produced. Each must be done by educating the debtor, both pre-bankruptcy & post-bankruptcy planning. I promise to treat you with dignity and respect.

QUALITY SERVICE TO OUR CLIENTS IS OUR TOP PRIORITY "LET US HELP YOU GET YOUR LIFE BACK ON TRACK"

Our firm was founded in 1990 by Diane L. Drain, counselor and attorney at law. Ms. Drain has received an AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell as "exemplary reputation and well-established practice". This AV rating is the highest rating for an attorney and shows that Ms. Drain has reached the height of professional excellence. She is recognized for the highest levels of skill and integrity. Her clients have included commercial mortgage lenders, national banks and professionals such as lawyers and brokers. But her greatest rewards come from helping individuals who are experiencing financial difficulties. Since 1985 Ms. Drain has worked as a lawyer at a large firm and now her own firm. Prior to law school Ms. Drain worked for 15 years as a paralegal, legal secretary and law office administrator.

She appears regularly before the United States Bankruptcy Court. She is a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, along with several other professional organizations. Diane is a retired law professor (teaching bankruptcy) and is a strong and practical advocate for her clients and well respected in the legal community. For almost 20 years Diane was a member of the Board of Governor's for the State Bar of Arizona. As such she has a responsibility to both the practicing lawyers and the citizens of our State. Diane took those duties very seriously; so much so that one friend referred to her as a "cowboy".

This firm is dedicated to a client-centered approach to the practice of law. Our mission is to explain the intricacies of law in plain, understandable English. We will never tell you what we think you want to hear, only what the realities are of your situation. Nor, do we look for reasons why we can't do something. Instead, we try to find appropriate ways to help. Our interpretation of the law is conservative. Therefore, our clients are usually prepared for most situations. More importantly, we try to help you plan for the future, not just address your current legal issues.

Your satisfaction is our goal. Legal proceedings are difficult enough, so we do our best to help you understand the process and keep you informed as to the status of your case.

Diane and Jay were not only very knowledgeable and patient, but they took time to educate me and point me to the resources I needed. They understood how difficult this process is and made me feel supported. I am forever grateful to have found and worked with them!

We might offer guidance, but you are the one who used that advice to help yourself. Jay and I thank you for your willingness to 'work the problem in order to find a solution'.

Thank Goodness!

I had waited to the eleventh hour to actually contact Diane Drain for help with my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I suffer from an anxiety issue and was paralyzed by fear. Thank Goodness I was referred to Diane Drain. She broke down the process into manageable portions that I could handle. She followed up at every turn, and nudged me when I flagged. She would patiently explain processes that I didn't understand, and assured me that all the frustration was worth the effort. She was right. I finally filed, and every day, I began to feel a little less anxiety. Now, the discharge has been entered, and life is much more manageable. Thanks, Diane

Top Notch Representation, Personalized Service!

FACT: Diane Drain personally answers her incoming calls! Every individual has their own specific reasons for seeking bankruptcy protection. I enlisted Ms. Drain's assistance and from that first consult I realized that this was not your typical "legal factory" churning out client cases. Following my discharge and reflecting back, her biggest strength and your most viable asset is her knowledge of the bankruptcy process. Her tenacious commitment to the prework stage (planning and preparation) is paramount to your case's success. I've found her to be compassionate, yet an Arizona "straight shooter" when it came to directing my case. Thank you, Diane and Jay for the seamless process you provided me!

Above and beyond what I expected

I've never had to consult a bankruptcy attorney before but recently had to do just that on behalf of a family member. Although we decided to not go through with bankruptcy Diane was immensely helpful in reviewing our situation and providing very comprehensive information for my consideration. She was patient, thorough, sympathetic, quick with responses and obviously knew what she was doing. I was very impressed and surprised by the effort she put into the matter considering she didn't charge me for any of it. Very thankful for the help!

Diane and Jay were wonderful to work with. They helped us navigate the bankruptcy process. They were informative and answered all our questions. We highly recommend them!

Posted by Barbara | January 21, 2022

Go directly to Diane.

The decision to declare bankruptcy is difficult. The journey through a 5-year Chapter 13 is more difficult. What was NOT difficult was the invaluable expertise, recommendations, and advice throughout that we received from Diane and her office. Don't get caught up in the morass of law offices that claim to care but leave you to clean up your own mess. Go directly to Diane.

Out of Control

Our lives were spinning out of control. We were trying all kinds of "guick fix" gimmicks to get our finances in order following employment challenges and being small business owners. The hole was getting deeper and deeper! By the grace of God, we met Diane Drain. Her steady hand, expertise and cool head, got us on the right track. Her explainations and guidance were amazing, helping us to come through to the bright side again! We embrace 2022 without fear! Don't waste time on promises of miracles and quick fixes. Give Diane the wheel and follow her roadmap!

Exceptional Attorney

Diane and Jay are top notch professionals. Their customer service is top notch. They helped me with a challenging bankruptcy due to extenuating circumstances. I cannot recommend them any higher than 5 stars but I would if I could. You won't be disappointed in their service.

Above and beyond

Diane was fabulous during our bankruptcy, guiding us every step of the way. After medical bills got us behind, we didn't know where to turn and felt uncomfortable filing. Her assurance that there was nothing to be ashamed, of gave us the incentive to proceed. Two years later we had questions in another matter, in which she again went to bat for us without further fees. I would recommend her firm to anyone in financial difficulties.

Five Stars is Not Enough

It would be difficult to fully describe how effective and talented Diane is. She took my exceptionally (some would say ridiculously) complex case and made sense of it. I'd had a very negative experience with my former counsel and from Day One the difference of working with her and Jay was like night and day. There's a reason she is so well regarded and respected in the field and you couldn't make a better selection for your representation.

Highly Recommended - Excellent bankruptcy attorney

My elderly parents were experiencing financial difficulty due to dealings with an unscrupulous timeshare company. Their only option was to file bankruptcy. While searching for a bankruptcy attorney, we came across the law office of Diane Drain who had excellent reviews. From our initial consultation, we were impressed by Diane's legal knowledge and compassionate nature. Although the process was difficult and time-consuming, the communication, help, and support we received from Diane and her legal assistant, Jay, was exceptional. They provided us with clear explanations on what to expect during each step of the bankruptcy process so there weren't any surprises. If you're considering filing bankruptcy and need an experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney, we highly recommend Diane Drain. She and Jay are wonderful to work with!

Always There With Helpful Guidance

I messed up and continued paying on one credit card that was discharged during my bankruptcy. When I discovered this I had already paid them about $1200 and was anxious to be reimbursed. Diane wrote the credit card company for me, requesting a full refund, which I just received. I would not have gotten my refund had Diane not intervened and requested it.

Response from Diane Drain September 18, 2020

Bankruptcy is very complicated so don't be angry at yourself. I am happy that I could help you get a refund of the monies. Thank you for asking us to help you find a fresh start. Stay safe, my best, Diane

Excellent bankruptcy attorney

As you can imagine, filing for bankruptcy can be stressful. Finding the right attorney can add to this stress. Working with Diane and Jay to guide me through this difficult process was the best decision I could have made. They are professional and kind, and a true pleasure to work with. I will never forget how much they helped me get my life back.

I wish I could review my clients because you, along with so many others, have made it easy for us to help. Please stay in touch and let us know how your life is going. Remember, we are always here if you have any questions. Our best, Diane and Jay

Posted by Layra | August 2, 2020

Best decision we made!

It has been four years since we hired Diane to help us through the difficult decision to go through bankruptcy. Six years ago I found myself without a job and an inability to keep up with all of our debts. In the search for a lawyer, we found Diane. If you find yourself in the situation where you have to go through bankruptcy proceedings, there is no better persons that Diane and Jay. She treated us as if we were her only clients. She asked the hard questions and showed us what we needed to do on our part. She never once judged us or our circumstances. The one thing that sets her apart in my mind, is that she encourages you to move forward; that bankruptcy is not the end and you can use the lessons learned from this challenge to do better. She gifted us a Dave Ramsey book, Starting Over. Since then, we embarked on a journey of becoming debt free and paying off the remaining debts. Now more than five years later, we will finish paying off our last remaining debt this month. No one wants to go through bankruptcy. But if you do find yourself in that position, it's not the end of the world. If you need someone to help you get through the bankruptcy process, choose Diane. She won't let you down.

Response from Diane Drain August 4, 2020

I could not be more proud of both of you. You asked for help, listened to advice, and set goals for yourself leading toward financial stability. The lessons you learned will be shared with others, so you will make a difference in their lives. No one decides to have financial challenges; they happen as part of life. How you handle those challenges is a testimony to what your future will look like. Again, I am so proud of you both. Please stay in touch. Our best, Diane and Jay.

Diane and Jay are the BEST!!

My husband and I wanted to begin the process of starting our bankruptcy, but it’s really scary not knowing who you can trust and who would step up to bat for you. Diane and Jay really did that, if felt like we had some friends who cared about us and took their time to walk us through each step with compassion and no judgment what so ever! I would refer them to any and all of my closest family and friends if they were in need of a bankruptcy! Thank you both for taking care of us and taking the time!!

Response from Diane Drain July 8, 2020

Thank you for your very kind words, but Jay and I really want to thank you. It was a real delight to meet you and to work with both of you. Not only because you are really nice people, but also because you were committed to helping us help you. Based on how you worked with us I know your family will thrive and go on to be your very best. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing. Our best, Diane and Jay.

Good Advice

I didn't actually speak with her but we did message and she was very helpful in her answers. I am deciding whether to go ahead and hire her or make an appoint for consultation, but I have to make sure I financially can afford her services if I so decide.

Response from Diane Drain March 14, 2020

Vicki - my first consultation is free and focused on your unique situation and what options are available to you. As a retired law professor, my commitment is to helping people, like you, to understand their rights and obligations. I look forward to having that free consultation.

Posted by Judy | February 3, 2020

Highly recommended

One and a half years ago, after a series of physical problems, I finally admitted to myself that I could no longer handle my debt load. I was going under, and knew I would have to consider bankruptcy. I had a high credit score and had always been responsible about paying my debts, so the decision was very hard to make. I was scared to the point of panic attacks and had no idea how to find a lawyer. I went on yelp and read through many reviews. When I saw a picture of Diane, I knew she was the person I wanted to work with. What a great decision that turned out to be! From our first phone conversation, her calmness, empathy, and careful, thorough explanations helped me gain confidence in walking through this complicated process. Her and Jay treated with me with such kindness, patiently answering my many questions and quieting my fears with precise, professional knowledge. This is a difficult experience emotionally, but the process is a series of steps, each one of which you will be guided through. Diane and Jay always answered my calls and e-mails in a timely manner. I am so glad I found Diane. Her warmth and caring and wealth of experience greatly eased the stress of going through this difficult and emotional process. I highly recommend using her services.

Response from Diane Drain February 4, 2020

Judy - your concerns and fears were not unusual. What you did to help yourself, was to ask questions. The law, like medicine, is complicated and everyone has a unique situation. Asking for advice before taking action, is the best way to educate yourself. So, our thanks to you for being such a hardworking client. We really enjoyed getting to know you. My hope for you is a peaceful future, with lots of time to do whatever makes you happy.

Diane was a life-saver!

Like many people, I was very apprehensive about filing bankruptcy. At 65 years old, I always thought- That would never be me! But after paying all my bills for 49 years and barely treading water, I was laid off and found myself with nothing. I talked to 5 other attorneys before I found Diane, and they were not a good fit. In fact, most gave me inappropriate advice or simply wrong facts. I found Diane from the BBB website and I knew from our first conversation she was the attorney for me. Diane is so knowledgeable, thorough, timely and efficient! She is also compassionate and caring. And Jay (in the office) was wonderful too! I would recommend Diane to anyone who might have to go through the difficult process of bankruptcy.

Response from Diane Drain August 12, 2019

You are correct that bankruptcy is very scary (mostly because it is the unknown). Bankruptcy should never be done without understanding the consequences and appreciating the benefits. Unlike some who file bankruptcy, you were willing to do the work and Jay and I really appreciate your commitment. Now is the time for you to start a new life - one without the constant fear of barely getting by each month. Thank you for letting us help you find some peace of mind. Our best to you, Diane and Jay.
