Hermin Dowe gave us help and guidance when we needed it most. We were in a situation that nobody wants to be in and is very tricky to navigate, from day one we trusted and respected her knowledge to get us through the bankruptcy process and she did without issue. There are many requirements to get your case filed, prepping for your court date and seeing your case through to the end, Hermin had us absolutely prepared every step of the way and without her we would have been lost

Hermin is a tough lady. Very straight forward and to the point. Exactly what I wanted my lawyer to be. If I had questions she answered them promptly and always kept me informed of the entire bankruptcy process so that there were no surprises. I would highly recommend her if you are dealing with a bankruptcy.

Trust, Integrity and a helping hand are her hallmark. My bankruptcy was taken care of with professionalism and a minimum of stress
