Diane L. Drain
A lawyer’s Creed of Professionalism is how I try to conduct myself daily.
The reason we receive so many positive reviews from our clients and attorneys is because I value my role as an attorney, former law professor, and counselor. Our Professionalism Creed is more than a philosophy; it’s a responsibility I owe to all of my clients.
Diane Drain is a great bankruptcy lawyer and a pleasure to work with. The field of bankruptcy is lucky to have her as a lawyer practicing in this area.
She helped us with our bk 7 years ago and not only did she do a wonderful job representing us she taught us a few things about money! We are doing great now with great credit scores, a new home and cars all within our budget. Thank you
I read all of Diane’s messages and she seems to be a very bright and informed woman.
Thanks for all of your help that you provide to people that need your help by your messages.
Diane and Jay were wonderful. I really appreciated their genuine compassion. I hired the absolute best for a fair price. Diane has an absolute mastery of the law and she explains everything in a easy to understand style. She will not only answer every question in detail, she will ask you questions to be sure that you understand all the content and details. You get the absolute best counsel money can buy, which is very comforting during such a drastic life event. I highly recommend Diane and her staff without any reservation.
I have known Diane Drain for several years now and have found her to be professional, knowledgeable and meticulous. All positive aspects in her professional field.
I live in Las Vegas and had a legal matter involving bankruptcy. My attorney in Las Vegas informed me that I would need an attorney from Arizona since the claim was filed in Arizona. I knew no one so went online and searched for Arizona attorneys. No one had better reviews than D.L. Drain
I cannot praise this attorney enough. She was very pleasant, knowledgeable and informative.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
My wife and I would like to thank Diane and Jay for their hospitality, thoroughness and patience. With the hard decision of wanting to file bankruptcy, they showed no judgment. It is a lot of work to prepare, but the the Law Office of Diane Drain walks you step by step. We appreciate your help, advice and recommendations as we are more prepared for a better future.
Diane did a tremendous job preparing me for my bankruptcy. She educated me thoroughly about the process and stressed the importance of following all the steps as concisely as possible. Her rates are very reasonable, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Diane is extremely knowledgeable about the whole process. Following her guidance help make the process as smooth as possible. Throughout the process she treated me with the upmost in respect and professionalism.
I have known Diane for many years, and she is a great contributor and asset to our community of bankruptcy practitioners. Simply stated, Diane is great at what she does. That’s why I am so comfortable referring work to her.
Diane and Jay were not only very knowledgeable and patient, but they took time to educate me and point me to the resources I needed. Diane and Jay walked me through every step and worked with me through any confusion or questions I had. They understood how difficult this process is and made me feel supported. I am forever grateful to have found and worked with them. I highly recommend them!
Feeling the questionable unease of financial hardship can be one of life’s most serious challenges; not knowing where to turn for information, who to trust, and how to proceed once you have the information can be overwhelming. I was feeling lost and out-of-control not knowing what to do next and so I contacted the offices of Diane Drain. What I found was a person capable of compassion, empathy, and in my case, a person capable of giving enough information to steer me in a direction of meaning. At this point in time I have not gone down the road of bankruptcy; however, I now have a much clearer understanding of my choices and that has made the financial challenges much easier to deal with. I am indebted to Diane not only for providing her vast knowledge of Bankruptcy law, but the generosity of time she gave me when we went beyond the 30 minute free referral. I highly recommend getting in touch with her if you’re having any financial challenges!
Diane is very smart, patient, kind and sincere. I am a better person for knowing her. I was so nervous to call and start the process but Diane made everything seem easy. I think Diane has a very calm confidence because she knows the laws inside and out.
My situation was complicated but she made it simple. She lives her mantra- definitely. Diane’s mantra from her website- “What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us. What we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal” Albert Pike
Ms. Drain is a very well-respected lawyer and a valuable asset to this community. Her continuing dedication to the law and her clients is admirable. If you are looking for a bankruptcy lawyer, give her a call.
“Diane and Jay are extremely attentive and thorough.” W.R.
I want to thank you so much for assisting us in getting this squared away. Diane and Jay are extremely attentive and thorough in getting things taken care of. Merry Christmas W.R.
"Thank you so much for your help." S.
Thank you so much for your help. I feel very good about my decision and I’m so very glad I chose you to represent me.
"You have help me once again attain the American dream…" J.R.
I first met Diane Drain in September 2008 when she agreed to represent me in my Bankruptcy filing. It was a difficult decision for me as I had always had outstanding credit and prided myself on being responsible and trustworthy. But, with my marriage of 30 years ending, the housing market sliding (I was upside down in the home), I had spent most of my savings and resources just to keep my head above water and then, I started sinking financially into a bottomless pit of debt. Bankruptcy was the best solution for me and that was a hard realization. Diane Drain handled my case with a wealth of knowledge and expertise. She kept me informed in all aspects of the case as it moved through the Court system. My Bankruptcy was discharged in Jan 2009 and Diane had advised me of the negative changes that would occur to my credit report. She also educated me, that the BK was a fresh start and my credit could be rebuilt with hard work and patience on my part. I want to inform others who may be going through the bankruptcy process, that with time, hard work and informed financial decisions, you can climb out of the lowest financial point in your life and achieve the highest point again.
In the 3 years since my Bankruptcy, I have worked my credit score back to 700 , I purchased a new vehicle in Oct 2011 and I just closed on a new home and mortgage in May 2012. All this was possible by the knowledge, skill and expertise Diane Drain has as a Bankruptcy attorney. To Diane I again say thank you. You have help me once again attain the American dream…
"We were extremely pleased !" Anonymous
We were extremely pleased with the quality and level of support you and Jay provided. We had shopped around a bit before contacting you and once we did the comparison with other attorneys and bankruptcy “mills” was extremely and significantly positive.
I had filed for Chapter 7 with Diane and it was the easiest most stress free process. My wife and I were considering for months on just what to do since this was my first time filing and we got different or incomplete answers from the lawyers we talked with which did not help and lead me to put off filing. My wife found Diane and when we consulted with her I immediately felt more at ease as she answered every question no matter how ridiculous I felt to ask and gave me sound advice. More important was that my wife felt we can trust her with how patient and well informed she was which helped with her anxiety and meant the world to me. Diane and her husband Jay are cool, salt of the earth people who REALLY want to help! Hands down the “scary” experience of bankruptcy was not scary at all and we retained her immediately. She was kind, knew what she was talking about and kept me very well informed with each step as we went along. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services and I cannot be more grateful to her for all she did in helping me get through my bankruptcy. Good woman and AMAZING lawyer!
We are grateful to Jay for us sound advice and, also, to Diane for answering our messages. Diane is sincerely interested in any questions you may have.
I endorse Diane L. Drain, who I’ve known for over 35 years. She served as an elected members of the Board of Governors of the State Bar of Arizona for more than 18 years. I have referred clients to her in the past and have always always received reports of her excellent legal advice and professional representation of the clients I have referred to her.
I’ve been in the legal field for over 25 years (as a legal secretary and paralegal) and Diane is a top notch attorney. She knows the ins and outs of this area of law and does a really great job of explaining each and every step in layman’s terms. It’s a scary time when you come to the decision that you need to file for bankruptcy, but Diane put us at ease and we felt very comfortable with her. Her assistant, Jay, is a great resource and was always available to answer any question that we had. We would definitely recommend her!
Diane and Jay are an impeccable professional team! She explains everything you need to know and puts your heart and mind at ease with her compassion and understanding throughout the filing process. Her expertise and guidance are unsurpassed!
Extremely knowledgeable attorney. Very helpful and patient, help me to understand the legal situation I am in which save me a lot of time and money. Thank you, Ms. Drain.
GREAT TEAM – DIANE AND JAY. We can’t say enough good things about Diane Drain.
My wife and I were at a point that we were devastated with our financial problems. From the first phone call to her we felt that there was help. She gave us new hope. Always putting our minds at ease and explaining each step though our bankruptcy. Whenever we called her she answered our calls right away. Unlike most law firms I have dealt with some and when you call you get a secretary. They in turn tell you that someone will get back with you. Seldom is it with-in 24 hours, and then not even the person you suppose to be dealing with. Not with Diane she is there to help, and work for you. If ever there is a question she is there to answer it.
She is professional, trustworthy. and honest. K & C
Diane Drain is a rare gem in the consumer legal field. She is tireless in her advocacy for her clients legal rights. She constantly networks, teaches, and mentors attorneys for the benefit of their clients, and the general community. When it comes to bankruptcy, real estate matters, or other consumer issues, Diane is prepared to represent her client needs in the most compassionate and professional way. Anyone looking to solve a real estate or financial problem needs to look no further for the best attorney in Arizona to assist their needs, and to guide them safely through to a brighter future and new hope. Diane is the attorney every lawyer should aspire to be in the way she benefits her clients, other attorney’s clients, members of the State Bar of Arizona, and all citizens of the State of Arizona. I could go on for hours about Diane, but I don’t need to. Schedule an appointment with Diane and you will immediately know what I am trying to say from the minute you meet her.
Diane and Jay were always very positive and consistently receptive in answering and returning phone calls and emails in a timely manner. In summary, they are a class act and able to take a very challenging and difficult process and make it as humane and positive as anyone could. I high recommend using their services. T.J.
Diane Drain and her assistant Jay are beyond professional. From the moment I called them to inquire about their services, to every phone call and each in person meeting we had, they remained calm, and helped to guide me during a very challenging process. Diane is very thorough and has a wealth of experience. She does not do the work for you and there is a significant amount of paperwork that needs to be completed. Having said that, she walked me through this every step of the way, but Diane held me accountable for working with her on completing the necessary paperwork so I was involved in every step of the process.
Absolutely top notch. All my questions were answered. Would definitely recommend this firm to anyone.
You and Jay are the best attorneys I have ever had or needed and thank God for the Honorable Robert Gottsfield in recommending you folks – I would have never made it through the entire process without you and Jay and God Bless you both always and stay in touch as well. You folks are the BEST OF THE BEST in Arizona.

reviews from our clients
“The Kind of Attorney You Want on Your Side… ” A.V.
Diane Drain is an amazing person. She is the kind of attorney you want on your side and comes highly recommended by other attorney’s. Even though my case was not a bankruptcy case, she took time out of her day to help me find someone who could help me. I don’t know of another attorney that would do this.
Five Stars – A.V.
“Top Notch Representation, Personalized Service! ” T.M.
Diane Drain personally answers her incoming calls! Every individual has their own specific reasons for seeking bankruptcy protection. I enlisted Ms. Drain’s assistance and from that first consult I realized that this was not your typical “legal factory” churning out client cases. Following my discharge and reflecting back, her biggest strength and your most viable asset is her knowledge of the bankruptcy process. Her tenacious commitment to the prework stage (planning and preparation) is paramount to your case’s success. I’ve found her to be compassionate, yet an Arizona “straight shooter” when it came to directing my case.
“Diane Took the Time to Drop Great Wisdom and Insight for my Situation. ” D. C.
I called to lean on Diane’s expertise around trust deed financing (even though it’s not her primary practice focus) and she took the time to drop great wisdom and insight for my situation. I took a shot on her being able to help and her experience and candor were very well appreciated. Thank you! D.C.
“Quality and compassion. ” S.
She is an expert in her field and compassionate. She listens and provides good advice. She will help you resolve difficult circumstances. S.
“We are grateful for all the kindness and respect they showed us in handling our case to completion. ” T.D. and R.I.
Diane and Jay are an absolutely phenomenal professional team. Bankruptcy is not an easy undertaking and there is a lot of paperwork you have to gather before filing so be prepared and do not get annoyed because Diane and Jay will guide you every step of the way. Try looking at it as a valuable learning experience to get you back on the right track to financial stability. They answered all our questions patiently and thoroughly explained the legal processes and what we could expect so there were no surprises. Her website is a fantastic reference for both clients and attorneys. Spend some time reviewing it and you’ll be convinced that she is the right attorney for you. From your first call to Diane you will immediately see that she is compassionate in understanding your situation and will feel confident that she is the right attorney to proceed with. Keep in mind that she has been specializing in bankruptcy’s for about 30 years and is held in high esteem within the court system. Her fees are very reasonable and her Yelp review page says “discounts available” which we found to be true as my spouse and myself are both veterans and we originally connected with Diane through a link upon another link within the VA Weekly Newsletter. We highly recommend Diane and Jay and are most grateful for all the kindness and respect they showed us in handling our case to completion. T.D. and R.I.
“Diane was patient, thorough, sympathetic, quick with responses and obviously knew what she was doing. ” D.S.
I’ve never had to consult a bankruptcy attorney before but recently had to do just that on behalf of a family member. Although we decided to not go through with bankruptcy Diane was immensely helpful in reviewing our situation and providing very comprehensive information for my consideration. She was patient, thorough, sympathetic, quick with responses and obviously knew what she was doing. I was very impressed and surprised by the effort she put into the matter considering she didn’t charge me for any of it. Very thankful for the help! D.S.
“Diane shows compassion and understanding to her clients.” M.W.
Diane provides educated and honest information throughout the entire process. She shows compassion and understanding to her clients. She was not my first attorney but took my case on in very short order. She cleaned up all of the mistakes and oversights the previous attorney made.
I am able to sleep now knowing I will not lose my house because paperwork wasn’t filed. I would recommend Diane to anyone.

Reviews from attorneys
I have known and worked with Diane for many years in the consumer bankruptcy arena. She is dedicated to her clients, continued education to her peers and serves an example what a consumer bankruptcy debtor’s attorney should be. Gary Stickell
I am a certified bankruptcy specialist with 43 years of experience in the field. This means I have known Diane for over 3 decades. In dealing with her in this professional capacity I have often referred clients to her and have found her work to be of the highest quality. This is because she genuinely cares about her clients, something you don’t always see in the legal profession these days. She also assisted me some years back when I ran into the problem of “Google professional reviewers” (reviewers that apparently get points or compensation for the volume of reviews that they leave) that I had never heard of or represented, leaving reviews both bad and good about me. You can’t go wrong with Diane. Harold Campbell
Diane Drain was my bankruptcy professor in law school. I now practice bankruptcy. Diane is the most knowledgeable and committed bankruptcy attorney I know – and I know a few! She is still a great teacher to me and always made time to discuss bankruptcy law. I know she is this way with her Clients as well. She has genuine concern for their legal well being. Her staff are excellent as well. Thank you Diane!
Although I’ve only known Diane short time, I’ve learned: her ethics are impeccable, she’s highly competent, she cares about her clients, she’s committed the legal community and to helping people, she perseveres, she’s approachable, and she’ll go the extra mile. She’s been very supportive and helpful in helping me acclimate into a new legal community, for no other reason than – just because. She’s definitely a keeper and you’ll be well taken care of.
Diane is a great asset to the legal community. She is wonderful mentor, professor and someone who I believe genuinely cares about her clients and looks at their situation with a lens focused on real life solutions and consequences.
Diane is a leader in the legal community who creates time to advise and mentor other attorneys, thereby raising the level of the profession.
