Thank YOU, Mike and Kelly!

When you're ready to throw in the towel after doing everything you can to keep your head above water call Mike. Going through bankruptcy and everything leading up to it can be an agonizing experience but Mike and Kelly were a big help in making me feel better about myself and getting me through the ...process. They were compassionate, informative, easy to work with, accommodating with my schedule, quick to respond to phone calls and emails, and did a great job of walking me through the entire process- beginning to end. They also give good attention to follow up after the dust has settled. On top of everything they did for me they even gave me a discount because my grandfather was a veteran. I couldn't recommend a better lawyer.

Bankruptcy chapter 7

I was very nervous about filing bankruptcy for the first time and had absolutely no idea what to expect. My first meeting I met with my attorney, Attorney Diaz-Martinez, and his paralegal assistant Kelly Brady and went over all of the information including documentation I would need to obtain, thei...r knowledge about the different chapters, and most importantly they were honest about the ups and downs of the process but assured me they would be by my side the whole way. I actually ended up working (communicating) almost entirely with the paralegal assistant, Kelly Brady. She was absolutely incredible! She was very structured and organized making everything understandable to me, someone with no legal experience. She was always quick to respond to emails and keep me updated about the process and where they were in it. This was especially helpful because the entire process from start to end takes months and there wasn’t a whole lot of stuff I needed to do so her updates reassured me I was a top priority. Another pro about Kelly was she went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared for court and felt calm and confident when answering the questions they may ask. She sent me detailed emails reassuring me to stay calm and breaking down what will be done step by step, and I was also provided handouts with typical questions asked and how to address individuals in the courtroom. All-in-all they were a great team. I give them a 10/10 for good communication, shared knowledge, patience, structure, and professionalism. I highly recommend! Hope this helps!! P.s. attorney Diaz is also a former veteran and offers a veterans discount which I used.

Highly recommend Micabil!

My experience with Diaz Lawfirm was amazing! They made sure I understood everything and was comfortable with the process. They answered all my questions quickly and accurately. If you have the unfortunate need to file bankruptcy Mike and his team will make the process painless!

Great help

This was a great experience during a very hard and stressful time. The best thing about Mr. Martinez was his absolute patience. From my consult to the conclusion He made sure I understood everything. In court he was more professional than those around us and made me feel comfortable. I hope I... never need his services again but, he will be the first phone call of I do.
