This gal knows her stuff!!

Simply put, Ms. Diane Drain knows her stuff and you certainly want somebody of her caliber in your corner when the chips are down. It is a great privilege and a greater comfort to have her in mine. I have made some bad choices along the path of life as most of us do. Its all part of lifes lesson. ... However, the choice I made to select her as my attorney was no doubt one of the best decisions of my life to this point. Call her...call her now and get control of your life back...I did!!! I promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you Diane and thank you Jay !!!! Glenn.

Thank you for your very kind compliments. I am sure you thought the choices you were making were the best for you at that time. None of us can see into the future and we all do our best, but sometimes things do not work out as we expected. How you handle new choices reflects on your ability to learn and adapt. I am pleased that Jay and I were here to help you, but remember that you did all the hard work. Our best to you in all your future endeavors.

Best Attorney for BK ever! Thanks Diane and Jay!

Diane and Jay helped me straighten out my case, after an attorney from a different law firm, made serious mistakes in my filing that could have been extremely detrimental for me. If not for their very professional guidance, constant communication and follow-up, while being firm and holding me account...able for producing the required documents, I don't know what I would have done. This was a very tough time for me, and Diane's extensive knowledge, professionalism, and guidance got me through it. Thank you so much, Diane! You are so very much appreciated.

I am always sad and embarrassed when a someone tells me about the abuses they had to suffer at the hands of another attorney. No one deserves to be treated with disrespect. I am pleased that you asked us to help you move forward in dealing with your financial issues and to open the door for your fresh start. Thank you for being so committed to doing a great job. All of us need to remember how important it is to read on-line reviews about products or services we are thinking of buying. We also must commit to leaving our own reviews about good and bad products or services so we can encourage or warn others about our experiences. It just takes a few moments, but this new social networking world makes it easy to help others in making their choices.

5 months after Bankruptcy Discharge

Bankruptcy is not in anyone's long term plans and was something my wife and I never really considered for years as we slowly drowned in debt. Despite the social stigma of bankruptcy, my wife and I started to educate ourselves about it and realized it was a great option for us. We live in Payson, AZ a...nd talked with the first bankruptcy lawyer we could find in Payson. He made it clear that it was the option for us but we felt demeaned and uncomfortable with some of his suggestions. Still, we felt like it was our only options so we started to move forward with him. Soon after we retained him, we started doing our research on him and found that he had a number of red flags. Our uncomfortableness was founded. We started searching for a highly rated lawyer and found Diane. Even though she wasn't 100% sure that representing us was our best option (due to location), she confidently and patiently answered numerous questions for us. She even gave us some other options for lawyers that she highly respected. We truly felt as though she had our best interests in mind. In the end, Diane was able to represent us and her communication, leadership and clarity throughout the process was night and day different than our first lawyer. I can't stress to you enough how important it was for us to have made the switch. While we were hurting financially, it was %1000 times worth it to lose the money on the retainer to our previous lawyer. Bankruptcy is something you have to take ownership of. There was a lot of work for us to do and our case's quality depended on us taking ownership. However, Diane was a great coach in letting us know each upcoming step and what was needed. She simplified it so that we weren't ever overwhelmed. When our family met in court we were at peace and confident in our preparation. Furthermore, there was a high level of respect our trustee had with Diane. This made us feel good about our representation and further confirmed our confidence in her. It has been a year since my wife and I started to consider bankruptcy and my wife and I find ourselves pondering our last year. This time last year we felt hopeless with our debt and struggling to find any solutions. Now, we have hope for the future, more discipline with our finances and eternally thankful for Diane's guidance through the process. We our 5 months after discharge (with a credit score of 688 which we didn't think was possible for us) and happy to be moving into a new year with this behind us. From beginning to end, Diane was consistent, calm, encouraging, thorough and helped us feel hope again. We can't say enough great things about Diane! Bankruptcy was the avenue to financial freedom for our family and it might be for yours too. Our only suggestions are to: 1. Make it a lifestyle change so you can get free and stay free 2.Take ownership of your own situation and your own bankruptcy 3. Hire Diane and trust her to help you!

Your review moved me to tears (like a proud mentor). You accurately summarized what I hope for all my clients (peace of mind and a fresh start). Plus, you focused on how important it is to 'own your bankruptcy' and be willing to commit the time to a well-planned bankruptcy. Jay and I really appreciate your wonderful review, but you did the hard work so we want thank you for being a delight to work with. Remember that we are always here if you have any questions. Have a very Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year.

Great Team Diane an Jay

We can't say enough good things about Diane Drain My wife an I were at a point that we were devastated with our financial problems. From the first phone call to her we felt that there was help. She gave us new hope. Always putting our minds at ease and explaining each step though our bankruptcy.... When ever we called her she answered our calls right away.. Un like most law firms. I have dealt with some and when you call you get a secretary. They in turn tell you that someone will get back with you. seldom is it with-in 24 hours, and then not even the person you suppose to be dealing with. not with Diane she is there to help, and work for you. If ever there is a an question she is there to answer it. She is professional, trustworthy. and honest .   Ken & Chris

Both of you worked very hard to find some peace of mind (which is what bankruptcy is designed to do). Jay and I would like to thank you for your commitment to our process, because I know there is a lot of work, but in the end it is worth the work. We are always here if you have any questions. Our best to you for a more peaceful future and have a wonderful holiday season.
