Excellent

Excellent service and very knowledgeable. My advice is to be very patient with the process. If they don't contact you for awhile it's probably because they don't have any new information for you. I would give them a 5-star review and recommend their services to others. In the end what really matters ...is that they deliver what they have promised and they did. We want to wish Jenny and her staff the best on everything they do and lots of health and prosperity.

Thank you for the excellent review. It means a lot to us to know we've done a good job for you. We care about our clients and want the best results for you. Please take care, stay safe, happy and healthy!

Posted by Art | August 27, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Great service from J. Doling Law

My chapter 13 was recently discharged. It was a lot less painful than I expected, no doubt because after a lot of fact gathering and investigation I elected to use the services of the J. Dowling Law Firm. When I first had my free consultation it was with Jenny herself, not one of the staff. When I h...ad to make one appearance in front of the trustee, Jenny was with me. That will build confidence in your representation. Like every client, I had tons of questions. All were answered promptly in plain language. Since I did not want to pester them with phone calls I used mostly email and got swift responses. A word to the wise: you will have to produce evidence of your assets and debts. Your case will be smooth, like mine was, as long as your documents are complete and up to date. Also, they will show you a free service allowing you to track your case online showing all receipts and disbursements, thereby eliminating most of your apprehension about your progress. You will be pleased with the service and professionalism of Jenny and her staff. Looking back, there is no doubt I used the right representation.

Thank you so much for the very kind review! We sincerely care about our clients and want to see you achieve the best outcome for you case and your future. We are very excited for you! Chapter 13 is not easy. You came through it with flying colors! If a discharge creditor ever bothers you, let us know. But, you should be good to go! Please take care, stay safe and healthy and know we are always here for you.

Amazing law firm

Filing for bankruptcy was a difficult decision, Jenny gave me factual information based on my information to make my own decision, no pushing nor "hard sell" - she and her staff were extremely professional, kind, and patient with my (what seemed to be) millions of questions, and they continued throu...ghout the five years to get it discharged. I have and will continue to highly recommend this law office for their expertise and professionalism. I had zero problems, I assume due to their professionalism!

Make The Decision Now

Stop your search right here. Jenny Doling is beyond the most professional and knowledgeable BR attorney that you will encounter. My only advise is to make the decision sooner than later. Jenny's approach and skills made this uncomfortable process make so much sense and left us feeling that our only m...istake was not taking this route sooner. I will always be grateful to her for leading us down the correct path to move forward in our life and put this page behind us in the most professional and caring manner...thank you again Jenny!
