Top Notch, recomended for anyone in a tight spot

I contacted Deanna, unsure of what my options were, and in the middle of a tricky situation with a Writ of Execution hanging out in Court Land somewhere. Immediatly she advised me of my options, talked to me about timeframes, results and fees (Of which were 100% accurate with no extra of hidden fees...). Immediatly she went to work, filing the necessary information to immediatly protect me and my family. It was a huge relief, and through the entire process she was available for consult by several communication methods, to answer questions, put my mind at ease, or talk about the next steps. If you're looking for an attorney whom has your interests in mind, Mrs. Bachman's services are a cut above, I couldn't be happier or recomend her more highly. Thanks again D.B

My Guardian Angel

Deanna Bachman Review If you are considering filing for bankruptcy and have not hired an attorney yet then I would strongly recommend Deanna Bachman. Upon first meeting with Deanna, I was very nervous about the procedure and a bit embarrassed to admit to her my problem. After sitting with Deanna... for the first few minutes she made me feel very comfortable and that I was not alone and that were many people also going through this. The process was very easy and stress free, as long as you are organized and honest with Deanna, you will have no problems. This is couldn’t be truer when you go before the Courts Trustee. If you have everything in order and answer the questions honestly you will have no problems. Deanna is my guardian angel and I couldn’t be any happier with how well she represented me. I highly recommend her, as she is very qualified and will make your life’s stress melt away Jim

Very talented and caring attorney.

Deanna is a very skilled and detail oriented type of attorney and does her best to represent her client to the fullest potential. She truly cares about her clients and their situations which helps to set her apart from other attorneys and makes her very successful at her career. When I had Deanna pre...pare my chapter 7 filing I was very nervous and felt like a failure for my situation. She walked me through the basic questions after I had "prepped" my paperwork to go over and was very kind in doing so. She wasn't judgemental or demeaning at all and shared some insight as to things we needed to watch out for with the trustee and the court and so on. When I walked into her office I didn't know if I had made the right decision as to who I was going to hire for my bankruptcy but after I signed and paid for her services and then left, I knew that I chose correctly. She stood with me at my debtor/creditor meeting and handled correspondence between any entities very quickly. She's a very talented attorney.

Friendly and thorough

I had a great experience working with Deanna. I was a little intimidated about what I should expect on my first visit. She was very helpful and explained the entire process in detail. She answered every question I ever had and she did it all with a smile. I never felt like I was being judged or l...ooked down upon. I was able to submit nearly all of the required paperwork to her email and only needed to visit her office 3 times. We communicated mostly by email and and was very quick to respond if I had questions. The cost was very reasonable and was only a one time charge that covered everything. And come time for the hearing, it was also not nearly as bad as I expected. She was there to represent you but you were asked only a handful of questions and you were in your way. Overall my experience with Deanna was excellent and I would and will recommend her to anyone who may need her services!

Exceptional Bankruptcy Attorney

We interviewed numerous bankruptcy lawyers, but Deanna listened to what we were trying to accomplish and went above and beyond. She answered any question we had, was always helpful and willing to assist. She worked exceptionally hard on our behalf to ensure we accomplished what we set out to do. W...e would highly recommend Bachman Law for anyone's bankruptcy needs.
