To file bk was a very hard decision to have to make. I felt like a failure. In my early 20's my husband and I bought a home and financed it using an arm loan. Long story short...we trusted a lot of people we shouldn't have. We thought we were asking all the right questions, but there was so much we d...idn't know. The economy tanked about the time our arm adjusted and our monthly payment skyrocketed. We worked with the lender for months to get a modification, just to be put back into another arm loan with a higher payment. After a year on the modification we realized we were back in the same place we were previously....arm loan set to adjust durning a recession. So we decided to short sale. It felt like the right thing to do. Just up and walking away from the home seemed so dishonest. The first and second mortgage would both make money off the shortsale and we would sleep at night knowing we did as much as we could right in a bad situation. Wrong! Another thing we learned the hard way is that the 2nd mortgage can, and will, agree to a settlement and then sue you for the rest. We tried, and TRIED, to work out a payment plan with them, but they refused. They wanted all or nothing. That's when I went looking for an attorney and found Diane. On a personal and professional level I couldn't have dreamt of a better person to be on my side. She knows the law and wants us to know the law. She was concerned about our future financial welfare. My experience with her was not- pay a fee, file, and good luck. My experience with her was that of a protective loving mentor. She wants people to succeed in life and gives you the tools to do so. I can't recommend her enough and will be forever grateful for finding her!

Diane was so professional, knowledgeable, thorough and very kind to work with as she guided me through the extremely emotional process of filing bankruptcy. She was optimistic and positive and always available if I needed to ask questions. Along with her paralegal Jay, an unpleasant experience was... turned into a new beginning for me. I know that my bankruptcy case has been handled in the best way possible for my situation, giving me the opportunity to start over. My sincere thanks to Diane and Jay! I am a very satisfied client and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We really can't say we loved the bankruptcy process, but we truly appreciated the experience and care given to us by Diane and Jay. Diane and Jay, you made a daunting task seem easy, and we cannot thank you enough! We could sincerely say that we liked working with you, and we would certainly recommen...d you to others. Thank you, so very much!

Diane and Jay did an excellent job and my wife and I could not be happier. She was able to help us keep the assets that were important to our family and answered our questions along the way. Very knowledgeable and professional. Diane came very highly recommended to us by a long time family friend who... is also an attorney. Would not hesitate to recommend their services.

We hired Diane Drain to handle a complicated eviction / Lift of Stay on a tenant who filed bankrupcy. Not only did she answer my multitude of questions in a timely manner, she knows her way around the Bankrupcy Court. Her years of practicing law give her an edge over many novices and it is very appar...ent that she is well respected in the court system. I think Diane Drain is the best Bankrupcy lawyer out there.
