Bankruptcy

Mr. Dunaway guided me through the bankruptcy process with ease and professionalism during such a difficult and dark time in my life. I would highly recommend his services and expertise to anyone who is in need of a bankruptcy lawyer.

The best attorney in a terrible situatuon

Atty Dunaway proved to be the best attorney I would have ever dreamed of having during and after my bankruptcy case. My case was very complicated and stressful to say the least. He walked through every single moment with me and felt like my best friend rather than someone I hired to handle paperwork.... I truly can say the Lord blessed me beyond belief when connecting me to Atty Dunaway. If ever I am asked who to contact for bankruptcy. Without hesitation I will say Atty Matt Dunaway. I wish I could give him a million stars. Thank you so So so so much Matt.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I wholeheartedly endorse Matt. He is one of the top consumer bankruptcy lawyers in the area, if not the state. Matt is not only well versed in bankruptcy law and the collateral issues that come with almost every case, he is very thorough. Matt pays close attention to detail which makes life easier on his bankruptcy clients by shortening the time it takes to get a petition approved and/or a discharge processed. I highly recommend Matt for anyone considering filing for bankruptcy protection."
