The correct choice

We filed Chapter 7, Jenny Doling and her entire staff is extremely professional, knowledgeable, supportive, understanding. Their fee is competitive and well worth it. I would recommend this firm without hesitation.

The Best Lawyer Ever!

I had no intention of filing for bankruptcy. I was always led to believe it was a sign of failure and that I would never get my credit back. None of that is true and never would have known that if I didn't retain Jenny. Not only did she help me to see that bankruptcy is about a fresh start, she hel...ped me to see how much the stress of my debt was affecting my health, my relationships, and my sleep. She also assured me I could rebuild credit quickly. She was right about everything. I received my first new credit card offer just after my hearing. I also received guidance on how to use it so I can rebuild credit, but not stay in debt. Once that dark cloud lifted, so many good things have followed. Jenny's support and the support of her amazing staff was truly a blessing. They care, they are experts, they are fighters, and I would recommend them over and over again.

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!

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG???

Best decision I made in 2016! No one tells you how free you are after filing bankruptcy, but I'm going to tell you. After a messy divorce, I was highly referred to Doling Shaw & Hanover. I am amazed at how easy they make the process. Everyone in that office knows what they are doing, they understood... and answered every single stupid question, they were professional, they were compassionate, and they never made me feel like I was a bother to them. The attorneys were so involved and were with me at my hearing, not some scumbag fill-in (that happens a lot at the bankruptcy court). Before I knew it, the case was finished. Every now and then I call the office when I have a question and they always answer them. Please save your money and your headaches by having Doling Shaw & Hanover fix your financial life!!!

Highly Recommed for a Bankruptcy case

Ms. Doling's firm was retained by me for a Bankruptcy case. The entire process was professional, courteous and I was supported through the entire transaction from begining to end. The fees charged were disclosed upfront and remained the same until the end. All committments were kept. This was a v...ery hard decision on my part, but Ms. Doling and her Staff made this much easier than I had imagined. I would highly recommend this Attorney.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
