Me and my husband went through Dorothy for our bankruptcy. We always thought going through a bankruptcy would be super stressful, but they made it a stress free process and pretty darn easy! Everyone in the office is super nice and are eager to answer your questions. Going through court was a breeze, which I though was going to be the hardest part!! I definitely recommend Dorothy!
