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.

Review of M Ruiz by Sheila

He was very helpful and explained the entire process thoroughly , and in Language I could understand, Whenever I had a question, either Mike or his Paralegal got back to me immediately, He outline the entire process step by step and clearly laid out what was expected from me.

The calm to our storm...

Several years ago, our then 3 year old son had open heart surgery. Now at the age of 10, the unending health issues and medical care are finally slowing. Feeling like we were caught in a hurricane of debt, I called for a consultation. Mr. Diaz helped us find out just how much we actually owed and ta...lked about ways to get out of what seemed an impossible situation. Never having claimed bankruptcy before we had no idea where to start, he helped us with a very cheerful demeanor and understanding. He and his entire staff are very kind people! They responded to every email and call in a timely manner and made me feel at ease for the first time in about a decade. He is who I needed to calm my fears and help us get on track with our financial storms.

Excellence in service...

When I first contacted Attorney Diaz, he was very helpful in explaining exactly what a bankruptcy would entail, and how it would work... Taking me through the process step by step. He did not make me feel ashamed to be filing for bankruptcy, and clearly answered any and all questions I had. When I ...hired him, he and his paralegal were very thorough in the entire process and kept in touch with me on a regular basis making the entire bankruptcy easy to get through. I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering bankruptcy. Despite the fact that bankruptcy is not exactly a pleasant experience to go through, Attorney Diaz's professionalism and friendliness made the entire process as positive as possible.
