Best Bankruptcy Attorney In Arizona

I work with attorneys on a daily basis, so I feel I have a good understanding of how many of them act and function in their day to day operations. Financial hardships fell on my family, and I placed 3 calls to 3 separate attorneys. In all 3 calls, I was not able to get a hold of the attorney. Dwayne ...was the only attorney that returned my call. In fact, he returned my call that same day, after hours, even though I called his office after hours. He apologized for calling me back at a later time, but explained that he understood that this was a high priority for me. That was the first reason why I decided to work with him. As we went through the process of getting my case outlined, and filed, Dwayne never missed a step. He was always honest, completely open to the possibilities of what we could expect to happen, and what we needed to do to make our case bullet proof (being completely honest and open about our situation; no shady stuff). He and his staff were always there for either me or my wife, and answered all of our questions explicitly. He worked with us at every step, and made it as stress-less as filing bankruptcy can be. I don't think you can find a better bankruptcy attorney in Arizona. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Very knowledgeable, understanding, diligent.

Mr. Farnsworth was very understanding of our situation, always treated us respectfully, kept us informed and did a wonderful job at making sure a difficult process was made easy. Would highly recommend.

Efficient, expert bankruptcy attorney with HONEST EMPATHY too.

Empathy is the major characteristic of this attorney. It's not the kind of "pretend" empathy that you get from some slick people. It is real and you can tell by how honest and attentive he is. When you combine that with his expert understanding of bankruptcy law, efficiency, and prompt reaching out ...to a client in trouble - well, what more can we ask of an attorney?

He is as tough as nails when he is advocating for his clients, he is as knowledgeable as a lawyer can be, and he treats everyone with respect and courtesy. I have a short list of lawyers that I refer to. Dwayne is on that list. I am not exaggerating when I say he is one of the best."
