One never considers a case like ours as a great and stress-free experience, but Diane and Jay made it as pleasant and stress-free as it gets. We were blown away by their level of honesty, communication and customer service. Diane was very patient and kind throughout the whole process. Jay was also great to work with and responds promptly. We felt supported and confident, and ultimately, we achieved a positive outcome. We highly recommend anyone to consider their services based on our positive experience.

There are not enough words to express how great it was to work with Diane and Jay through such a difficult, troubling, and upsetting time. Diane knows her stuff, and she knows it well. Her focus is on doing things *right* and getting the best result for her clients. I was a hot wreck through the bankruptcy process, but Diane never let me feel less for any of it. She was encouraging, kind, and informative—often repeating the same answers to me because I could barely process things and needed to be told on repeat. She never made me feel bad or like I was an inconvenience to her. Every question I had, she answered. Every concern I had, she was able to walk me through.

Bankruptcy is not fun. Add in foreclosure. Add in three kids. Add in moving from 3k sq ft to a relatives 2 guest rooms. Add in an abusive spouse who was the sole income provider, thankfully gone to prison, who unthankfully racked up more debt than I could’ve guessed. That timeframe was full of trauma, and the bankruptcy process is traumatic on its own.

Diane had to hold my hand through the entire process, and I honestly don’t think I could’ve been blessed by a better bankruptcy attorney. This process is awful, and the only good thing about the hard work going through it was Diane Drain.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Diane Drain. She is a true professional with great attention to detail. There is no way I could have been successful without her. I strongly recommend Diane Drain.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Diane for her invaluable assistance in resolving an HOA matter. Her prompt and courteous demeanor, coupled with her extensive knowledge, provided me with the most effective advice I have received during my extensive search for legal counsel. Notably, she refused to accept any compensation from me, which further underscores her commitment to providing unbiased guidance. Thank you, Diane, for your exceptional service.

“Diane took a lot of time explaining if Bankruptcy was the right choice for me at this moment. I truly appreciated her expert guidance and would recommend her to anyone wanting more education and informative options.”

Diane and Jay are fantastic. They walked me through the entire process. With great results!!! Would recommend Diane 110%

“Jay & Diane were absolutely phenomenal handling my case. Diane laid out a detailed step by step plan of what to expect. She guided me and my family through our case STRESSFREEE. She was very professional and never promised anything she could not deliver on. Jay was highly knowledgeable when answering my many questions as well as picking up all my calls. Go here if you want the best service. Thanks Diane & Jay. Have a Blessed One!”

Diane is very knowledgeable and great to work with. She explained the process to me and was able to answer all of my questions. She made the process relatively easy with step-by-step instructions and was always a phone call away to help if needed. The bankruptcy process can be a little nerve-racking, especially for someone who doesn’t know much about it. But her relaxed demeanor, along with her expertise in bankruptcy, kept me at ease. She truly helped turn my life around when I thought there wasn’t much of a future left for me, and I’m forever grateful. I would highly recommend her.

“Had a consultation with D. I really appreciate her honesty and I really felt that she is an expert in this field. She explained a lot and gave me some great direction. Thank you! The highest rating to you and your business.”

Navigating bankruptcy was an intimidating and stressful process for me, but working with Diane Drain made all the difference. From our first consultation, Diane was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. She guided me through each step with compassion and clarity, ensuring I understood every detail.

Diane’s expertise was evident in every interaction, and her commitment to her clients is unparalleled. She was always available to answer my questions and provided detailed explanations, which made the whole process much more manageable. Her paralegal, Jay, was equally supportive and always ready to assist.

What stood out to me was Diane’s dedication to making sure I felt prepared and protected throughout the entire journey. She went above and beyond to provide not just legal support but also emotional support, helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I highly recommend Diane Drain to anyone seeking a bankruptcy attorney. Her skill, compassion, and dedication are truly remarkable, and I am forever grateful for her help in turning a difficult time into a path toward financial freedom.

Thank you Diane and Jay!

We can’t say enough good things about the services, but the results of these services were top shelf. Diane and her staff met and surpassed any expectations that my wife and I had going into this legal matter. Because of the complexity of our company being sued, resulting in filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, we knew that professional help was needed and fast. Honestly, I don’t remember how Diane’s name came up, but we went with her and have not looked back since. One of her attributes that I admired was that she was always available by phone, text, or email. If we had questions, she was quick in her response. We never knew what her office hours were, if she had any, but, she would respond even during the weekend hours. You hope you can go through this ever changing world legal system without needing legal help, but if you do, Diane Drain and staff are the best starting points.

Diane and Jay have been absolutely amazing to work with. They’re informative, kind, supportive, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. This was my first time hiring a lawyer, and they helped me feel confident and understood. Thank you, Diane and Jay!!

Diane and Jay helped me tremendously. I highly recommend their services and I’m so grateful for all their help during a very stressful time.

“Years after declaring bankruptcy, I can reflect on how far my wife and I have come financially. I remember the shame and fear that came with filing and not fully understanding the process at the time. Diane Drain helped guide us through bankruptcy successfully. It’s now been over 5 years since we received our discharge in 2019. Diane Drain was instrumental in helping us get out of debt and put us on a path to financial freedom. I’m forever grateful for her help during such a difficult time and all she did to change our lives for the better. While bankruptcy initially felt scary, it ultimately changed our situation for the better. Diane was patient, thorough, and compassionate every step of the way. Fast forward to today, and we have just purchased our first home—what an amazing feeling!

Recently, I attended a training event for teen court volunteers. As I walked into the building, I saw photos of attorneys who have received awards hanging on the wall. To my surprise, I saw Diane Drain’s picture among them. Though surprised, I’m not really—she is extraordinarily skilled at her job and a wonderful person to work with.”

“Diane has been an amazing attorney. This was a hard time in my life but she kept me on track and was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, clear, and thorough, and helped to make a challenging process more manageable. I felt well prepared and protected by her through every step. Her website, too, contains so much helpful information and resources. I highly recommend Diane Drain if you are looking for a fantastic bankruptcy attorney who will look out for you and your interests.”

“Don’t hesitate; call Diane! Diane has been a huge lifesaver! I reached out to Diane from a Google search when the existing law firm I had started with wasn’t communicating with me. She listened to my situation, provided accurate and reliable information, and answered all my questions. If you follow everything she says, the process will be easy and stress free. There were a couple things that came up that were not exempt that the prior law firm never mentioned. I felt blessed to know up front and have time to process it and make arrangements as needed to get me by, rather than be blindsided later. Pay attention to what she tells you. Read everything she provides you. Follow exactly what she says to do, and you too can be relieved. The whole process was quick, and what a huge relief to be released from the financial burden, given a fresh start.” Thank you, Diane and Jay!!!

“I’m so grateful to Diane and Jay. They were a wealth of information, knowledge, and kindness. Thank you so much for everything that you do.” M.F.

“Diane was amazing. She and Jay helped me so much. They make everything clear and understandable. She was always available when I had any questions, and she went above and beyond explaining everything in detail. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would recommend them to anyone.” R.F.

“I found Diane Drain just by going through Google and looking for an attorney who can help me understand bankruptcy. She was quick to reply to my questions and clearly explained what would be expected of me. It was a scary thought for me, to file for bankruptcy because I have always believed that I should be responsible for my debts, even if they have been putting me under so much stress that my health started to suffer. But Diane showed me that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that I am not alone in my struggle. Diane and her assistant, Jay, helped me without stressing me more. They made the process easy. They made me feel better and made me learn to accept the fact that I cannot help myself get out of my situation alone, that I needed help. Accepting this fact was hard for me as I have always been an independent person, but years of desolation, burdened by debts, have made me so depressed and at the end of my wits. I am so thankful I got to encounter two amazing people who helped me every step of the way.“

“I would like to thank Diane Drain and Jay for all their support and help during this time in my life. They were very informative and answered all my questions and concerns and making sure whatever you needed it was taken care in a timely manner.” S.R. – FIVE STARS

“Diane and Jay are very knowledgeable, and they guided me from beginning to end. They were so organized, that each step was calculated. They are very nice, compassionate and professional.

Thank you, Diane and Jay, for all of your help and hard”

“Diane and Jay have been wonderful through this whole experience. I don’t know what we would’ve done without them. Any questions we had were answered quickly.

I would highly recommend their law firm if you’re looking for knowledgeable, caring professionals.”

“If you are considering a bankruptcy, there is no other person in the state of Arizona to talk with other than Diane Drain. She is very concerned for your well-being. Her knowledge and expertise allowed me to carry on with my life. My anxiety faded away with each conversation we had. I want to thank her for the caring and professionalism she had with my case.

She is the best!”

“She is the BEST!! I am so happy I called Diane Drain to get me through bankruptcy! She made me feel at ease, answered all my questions and was always available when I needed her! Her paralegal Jay was just as helpful and ready to answer questions at any time. If you are considering filing, give her a call!!

Don’t waste your time looking for an attorney she’s right here!”

Answered all my questions and very knowledgeable team!

Thank you!

“Diane was an exceptionally nice lady and very courteous to my wife and I as we requested help. She had kind words to comfort despite our horrible circumstances. She gave us great advice and requested nothing in return. Give her a call if you don’t know where to turn…

Thank you”

“I cannot thank you enough Diane for taking the time to speak with me. Your website has so much information and very helpful. You were very nice and caring.

Appreciate you!”

“Before bankruptcy your sense of security feels compromised and is actually in a very fragile state. Often times people relate finances to personal uniqueness. Before bankruptcy this is broken. Through bankruptcy Diane helped me navigate through these dark and difficult times. As a result, I had been restored to a confident and mended person again. Thank you Diane!!!”

“ROCKSTARS Diane and Jay!!! I am so happy to work with you again.

Within a few months, you got me the BEST results. You did exactly what you said you would do. You went above and beyond for me!! Highly recommended if you are looking for a well experienced bankruptcy firm to get the job done!

Thank you Diane Drain Law Office for making this experience a great one!!”

“Diane Drain is a wealth of knowledge. She is a great attorney.”

“I had waited to the eleventh hour to actually contact Diane Drain for help with my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I suffer from an anxiety issue and was paralyzed by fear. Thank Goodness I was referred to Diane Drain. She broke down the process into manageable portions that I could handle. She followed up at every turn, and nudged me when I flagged. She would patiently explain processes that I didn’t understand, and assured me that all the frustration was worth the effort. She was right. I finally filed, and every day, I began to feel a little less anxiety. Now, the discharge has been entered, and life is much more manageable. Thanks, Diane  signed, S.S.”

“To declare Bankruptcy is a both personal and difficult and at time can seem overwhelming , but With Diane and Jay they made the journey as comfortable and easy understanding as possible. with Diane answered all my questions and concerns and walked me through all the steps necessary and Jay was helpful in helping me understand the next steps and documents needed. I would recommend Diane to anyone needing to file or considering to file bankruptcy, she has many years of experience and is honest and it shows.”

“I greatly appreciated Diane’s thoroughness and ability to explain the process. She helped me understand why and how certain steps were necessary which reassured me that this was the right decision to make and that Diane and her office were the right choice.”

“I just want to thank Diane for such professionalism, knowledge, and for being so patient and attentive. I called on a Sunday morning to ask about a document. She took her time to answer every single one of my questions and guided me how to go about resolving my issue. Keep in mind I am not her client we had never spoken before. And still she took time out of her Sunday to help me out. Thank you Diane!!”

“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.”

“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. Thank you, Diane and Jay for the seamless process you provided me!”

“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!”

“She is an expert in her field and compassionate. She listens and provides good advice. She will help you resolve difficult circumstances.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Diane and Jay were wonderful to work with. They helped us navigate the bankruptcy process. They were informative and answered all our questions. We highly recommend them!”

“Diane was great at coming to our rescue during very stressful times…

Dianne and her team were always in good communication and they always were quick with responses. This was important in terms of the stress pushing for timely legal decisions.
She was extremely thorough with her questions prior to our telephone meeting. She was very kind and patient defining and explaining vital points to us. It never felt rushed or pressured by time limits.

Her qualifications as an expert are at the highest possible level of competence as an Attorney, Law Professor, Arbitrator and as someone sincerely interested in being of service to others.  Being of Service to Others certainly overshadowed any money motivation…in the end her expert consultation did not cost us any money. Her great advice referring us to good credit counselors solved our problem.

I would give her 10 gold stars and I would highly recommend her to anyone worried about potential lawsuits and the threats of potentially losing one’s home.”

“My previous attorney was disbarred and I had a hearing before the Bankruptcy (Judge not the Trustee). Diane jumped in. Attended my court date and has taken care of me from there. Further, when I found out my previous attorney was disbarred, the court had me call the attorney helpline. I told everyone I spoke to that I had hired Diane. They all said I was in GREAT hands. Months later, I know I am in good hands! Going through this is so difficult. Hiring an awful attorney only makes it worse.”

“The decision to declare bankruptcy is difficult. The journey through a 5-year Chapter 13 is more difficult. What was NOT difficult was the invaluable expertise, recommendations, and advice throughout that we received from Diane and her office. Don’t get caught up in the morass of law offices that claim to care but leave you to clean up your own mess. Go directly to Diane.”

“I consulted the law office of D.L. Drain expressing our need to file bankruptcy having very limited resources. They accessed our situation and needs; educated us about bankruptcy options and ramifications. We were provided affordable comprehensive representation. I highly recommend the Law Office of D.L. Drain.”

“Our lives were spinning out of control. We were trying all kinds of “quick fix” gimmicks to get our finances in order following employment challenges and being small business owners. The hole was getting deeper and deeper! By the grace of God, we met Diane Drain. Her steady hand, expertise and cool head, got us on the right track. Her explanations and guidance were amazing, helping us to come through to the bright side again! We embrace 2022 without fear! Don’t waste time on promises of miracles and quick fixes. Give Diane the wheel and follow her roadmap!”

“Disability and subsequent early retirement caused a growing realization of the need to pursue bankruptcy. I started the process of selecting an attorney with fear and trepidation. I contacted several lawyers and was left feeling they were indifferent to my situation and just wanted to take my money and move on to the next client expeditiously. I found the Law Office of D.L. Drain to be caring professionals providing exemplary representation to resolve my legal quandary.”

“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.”

“I have just received my discharge from the court. It’s been a long journey and I can’t emphasize how instrumental a role that Diane and Jay played in helping me navigate this journey. In the beginning Diane lets you know that it’s a partnership. As a client, you just don’t dump all your records on her desk and say help me and then walk away. There’s a lot of work in preparing your records so Diane can file your case. I interviewed a few other lawyers in the beginning all with good AVVO reviews. I’m 100% convinced I made the right decision in choosing Diane”

“Diane and Jay have been wonderful to work with, they are really the best. I found them after paying Scott Forrester and finding out he was disbarred. Diane told me how to file a complaint and ask the State Bar for my money back. She then helped me file a bankruptcy and stop my creditor from garnishing my wages. Wow – she is an angel.”

“Diane was fabulous during our bankruptcy, guiding us every step of the way. After medical bills got us behind, we didn’t know where to turn and felt uncomfortable filing. Her assurance that there was nothing to be ashamed of, gave us the incentive to proceed. Two years later we had questions in another matter, in which she again went to bat for us without further fees. I would recommend her firm to anyone in financial difficulties.”

“Five stars.  Diane is an excellent Bankruptcy Attorney. She guided my wife and I through the entire process. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs to file a bankruptcy.”

“I can’t say enough about the professionalism for Diane Drain and Jay. She helped me maneuver the process of Bankruptcy through an unusual situation. I highly recommend Diane Drain. You can feel confident in her ability to provide you with any and all answers that may arise. Don’t hesitate to call her”

“We had recently relocated to Arizona from the Chicago area when we realized we had to face up to our financial problems, rather than run away from them. Our Chicago attorney was helpful in assisting us in choosing the right bankruptcy attorney – boy did he pick the perfect person!! Diane talked us through every step of the process! Our emotional ups and downs were frequent, and her patience was unwavering!  We highly recommend Diane Drain IF you are looking for the educated, knowledgeable, honest and transparent (and very fairly priced) attorney!  If you want a flash in the pan, “Bankruptcy for $199″ and get it done in 72 hours” good luck to you!  Diane has earned high praises from our other attorney, our accountant and our Chicago attorney, who has her on his referral list for clients moving to Arizona. Bankruptcy is a big deal and not something to put in the hands of anyone less than the best!” 

“Diane was fabulous during our bankruptcy, guiding us every step of the way. After medical bills got us behind, we didn’t know where to turn and felt uncomfortable filing. Her assurance that there was nothing to be ashamed, of gave us the incentive to proceed. Two years later we had questions in another matter, in which she again went to bat for us without further fees. I would recommend her firm to anyone in financial difficulties.”

“For a review I decided to do something a little different, which is to adapt my last email letter because it illustrates my elation and good spirits after completing the bankruptcy experience with the noble assistance and guidance of Diane and Jay:  “Hi Diane, thank you for the two recent emails: ‘Good news — your discharge was entered,’ and especially this one, ‘Great news — your case is now closed!’  Hallelujah, I just love it so! Thank you so much for your diligent work and wise guidance all along the way. Now to think of a proper celebration, in the spirit of your ‘fireworks’ email. For starters, I just might take my dogs (my spirit warriors) through the Dairy Queen drive-thru where they have free ‘pup cups’ for any dogs on board (as well as a Blizzard with my name on it, no doubt!) Also, now that it’s all over but the shouting, you can count on me for a very favorable review, as well. I couldn’t have done it — wouldn’t have dreamed of even trying — without you and Jay. You’re the very best! Thanks again!”

“It would be difficult to fully describe how effective and talented Diane is. She took my exceptionally (some would say ridiculously) complex case and made sense of it. I’d had a very negative experience with my former counsel and from Day One the difference of working with her and Jay was like night and day. There’s a reason she is so well regarded and respected in the field and you couldn’t make a better selection for your representation.”

“Diane and Jay were the absolute best. Going through the bankruptcy process can be quite worrisome. Diane and Jay were able to ease our fears and made the process as smooth as possible.”

“I came to Diane cause her reviews stuck out the most. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! If you’re serious about filing for bankruptcy than I suggest you go with Diane Drain!!! From the start, she tells you the process, gets to know you and your situation, doesn’t sugar coat the process and is upfront and helpful the entire time. My first, and hopefully only time needing a lawyer, and she exudes exactly what you would want/need in one. Thank you again Diane, you’ve really helped me move on and start over.”

“I can’t describe in a short review how much Diane and her team changed my life. I’m not being dramatic or cheesy. I had credit card debt piling up living alone, working in restaurants and the Covid hit. I was scared, stuck, trapped, didn’t consider bankruptcy even an option due to growing up hearing it’s a shameful or embarrassing resort. She is like your favorite professor who just happens to be a spitfire attorney and advocate for understanding, support, kindness and knowledge. I was notified by long process is over, and I am a completely different person debt free on my way to start my life over again, and yes bankruptcy is part of it but I would have never considered following through with bankruptcy if Diane wasn’t the first attorney I looked up on BBB and reached out that night. Her website and almost immediate reply was so comforting, it was like a warm hug and not a scary attorney. I am beyond satisfied, taken care of and couldn’t be more pleased with my experience.”

“My elderly parents were experiencing financial difficulty due to dealings with an unscrupulous timeshare company. Their only option was to file bankruptcy. While searching for a bankruptcy attorney, we came across the law office of Diane Drain who had excellent reviews. From our initial consultation, we were impressed by Diane’s legal knowledge and compassionate nature. Although the process was difficult and time-consuming, the communication, help, and support we received from Diane and her legal assistant, Jay, was exceptional. They provided us with clear explanations on what to expect during each step of the bankruptcy process so there weren’t any surprises. If you’re considering filing bankruptcy and need an experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney, we highly recommend Diane Drain. She and Jay are wonderful to work with!”

“Diane and Jay saved us. We were in deep financial trouble due to my mother’s care. Both Diane and Jay were always available to answer any questions and helped us through the entire process. In the beginning it was a bit daunting putting together all of the information, but necessary. Once we turned everything over to Diane we never had to deal with it again. Diane went with us to our meeting with the trustee which was amazing considering some of the people there just met their representative at the hearing for the first time. If you want the best bankruptcy attorney, that’s Diane Drain!”

“Filing for bankruptcy can be a stressful life event, and selecting the right attorney can add to this stress. Diane and Jay were a pleasure to work with, and it is obvious that they are passionate about helping people get their life back on track. I would highly recommend them if you need a bankruptcy attorney.”

“If you find yourself in the situation where you have to go through bankruptcy proceedings, there is no better persons that Diane and Jay. She treats you as if you were her only clients, and shows compassion for your circumstances. She will not lead you astray. The one thing that sets her apart in my mind, is that she encourages you to move forward; that bankruptcy is not the end and you can use the lessons learned from this challenge to do better. She even gifted us a Dave Ramsey book, Starting Over. That was back in early 2015. Boy, was she right! Since then, we embarked on a journey of becoming debt free and paying off the remaining debts. Never again do we want to go through that process again. Now more than five years later, my husband and I have one more month and we will finish paying off our last remaining debt. No one wants to go through bankruptcy. But if you do find yourself in that position, it’s not the end of the world. If you need someone to help you get through the bankruptcy process, choose Diane. She won’t let you down.”

“I had an old debt surprise me the other day by way of a Summons and Diane was kind enough to give me some solid advice. She is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend her if your are looking for any legal council. Thanks again Diane I took your advice and have that old monkey off my back now!”

“Diane and Jay helped out a family member file a bankruptcy. They were very easy to work with during a their difficult time. Compassionate and very helpful getting through the bankruptcy process. Some firms make you feel like a number and just want you to do the bankruptcy that benefits them more. Not Diane. Reviewed all the info thoroughly to help make best decisions. Always available for follow up questions and really knowledgeable about bankruptcy laws. We were fortunate to find her.”

“Diane helped me with my Bankruptcy and it was one the more complicated ones where the trustee asked for quite a bit of information and she and Jay did a fantastic job taking care of my case. She will guide you all the way through and it was a pleasure to work.”

“Diane gave invaluable advice during the free consultation and we are ever so grateful. If and when the time comes to pursue further actions financially, Diane is without-a-doubt the one who will guide us. Thanks again!”

“Diane and Jay are caring and competent professionals who have helped so many people through difficult legal processes. They are compassionate truth-tellers who educate and empower as much as they provide legal assistance. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“We cannot thank you enough for helping us through this difficult and embarrassing situation. After our first phone conversation I had no doubt you would be able to help us and that you actually cared about our situation. So many larger firms treat clients as if they were in an assembly line. Your willingness to answer and and all of our questions immediately put my mind at east. The only comment I have is that you should raise your rates. Your fees are extremely reasonable and your personal attention to our issues is worth double what we paid.”

“One and a half years ago, after a series of physical problems, I finally admitted to myself that I could no longer handle my debt load. I was going under, and knew I would have to consider bankruptcy. I had a high credit score and had always been responsible about paying my debts, so the decision was very hard to make. I was scared to the point of panic attacks and had no idea how to find a lawyer. I went on yelp and read through many reviews. When I saw a picture of Diane, I knew she was the person I wanted to work with. What a great decision that turned out to be! From our first phone conversation, her calmness, empathy, and careful, thorough explanations helped me gain confidence in walking through this complicated process. Her and Jay treated with me with such kindness, patiently answering my many questions and quieting my fears with precise, professional knowledge. This is a difficult experience emotionally, but the process is a series of steps, each one of which you will be guided through. Diane and Jay always answered my calls and e-mails in a timely manner. I am so glad I found Diane. Her warmth and caring and wealth of experience greatly eased the stress of going through this difficult and emotional process. I highly recommend using her services.”

“Diane Drain and Jay provided professional, comprehensive services and support through every step of the bankruptcy process, were always available to answer questions. Diane has developed an extensive array of handouts and email templates that addressed every component of the process that a client is experiencing. These handouts and templates address every aspect of the process and serve as excellent guides and reference materials as you are struggling through what can be a very painstaking ordeal. Diane and Jay were both, very knowledgeable, and very supportive during the entire process, and also assisted in identifying and helping me successfully navigate any pitfalls that I otherwise would not have been aware of. I highly recommend Diane Drain’s Law Office because I received one on one personal advice and guidance from her as needed, compared with the larger law firms where you seldom get to speak with, or receive guidance from the attorney, and instead are serviced by paralegals and other assistants. Diane and Jay made me feel confident through what otherwise would have been a harrowing experience. I recommend them 100%! Thank you Diane and Jay!”

“I cannot adequately describe how much we appreciate the help Diane and Jay provided us. We were in serious financial trouble, which created an incredible amount of stress that was beginning to affect my health. After contacting Diane and starting the process I was able to get the first decent night’s sleep I’d had in months. Diane and Jay were always available to answer EVERY question I had, no matter how ridiculous it sounded. Unlike some attorney’s specializing in bankruptcy, Diane takes a hands-on approach from start to finish providing a complete outline of the process as well as the expected timeline. It was quite apparent how lucky we were to have her during our 341 meeting with the trustee. At that meeting there were several individuals assigned to the same time slot and unfortunately most were represented by people they had never met. Diane told us what to expect during the meeting and remained by our side through the entire process. We are coming to the end of this journey and my husband I will be forever grateful to Diane and Jay for giving us our life back!”

“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

“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.”

“I first met Diane in 2009. I was losing control of my finances and therefore my whole life seemed a day to day mix of anxiety and fear. I landed on her website and returned numerous times to understand the process. I found it one of the best and most informative sites on the subject and just decided that whoever was behind all that information was the person I needed. I remember my first visit, I cried thinking my life was over and she quickly alleviated all my fears. There were no demons or dragons. It my constitutional right to be free of debt. For the first time, I felt empowered and had faith that she would get me past this chapter of my life. Indeed she did. Ten years later, after a major backpacking injury, disability and subsequent loss of employment ( I had been basically debt for all those years in between) I needed her again and returned. Her sound advice, again, helped me get my life back, as I knew she would. I’ll be forever grateful. Diane and Jay are a class act. No one does it better.”

“Diane Drain is a very kind person. She helped me find resources and gave advice even if she will not be benefiting from the advice. Thank you Diane!”

“I cannot tell you how grateful I am that Diane Drain took my call. I was desperate and she made me feel that I could sleep through the nite. She explained all my options to deal with my financial situation and did not push me to hire her. Instead, she was more interested in my welfare than in her charging a fee. I really wish more lawyers were as professional and courteous as Diane Drain.”

“If you are considering bankruptcy, make sure you consult with Diane Drain, and learn as much as you can from her website prior to your free consultation. Why? Diane will clearly and patiently explain to you the most critical information you need to be able to decide for yourself if filling bankruptcy is your best course of action to resolve your debts. I can attest from dealing with her that Diane (at a time when you are most vulnerable and fearful) will not lead you to a solution that absolutely is not to the best of your interest even if it means you are not hiring her as in my case. From the information you provide her prior to consultation, I believe she already know if bankruptcy is the right solution for you; accordingly, she already know if she is going get business from you or not. In my case, despite her knowing that bankruptcy for now is not the best solution for me (therefore no business for her) and without giving a hint prior to consultation, she still proceeded with my free consultation and spent way more than twice the 30 minutes allotted. That consultation was most critical because it cleared up my mind to pursue a specific course of action, and gives me all the energy I need to pursue it. Priceless.”

“Diane is a great attorney that made our BK experience as smooth as possible. Before seeing Diane, we went to another attorney who told us that he couldn’t get us a Ch.7 and our only option was a 13 and that is when we found Diane Drain. The entire process starting with the free phone consultation to a couple meetings in the office got us the Ch. 7 we needed. Diane communicates well through the entire process by phone and detailed emails. She explains everything that needs to be done. If you do your part and put in the work to make sure everything is accurate, then she will do hers and you will have great results. Thank you Diane and Jay for everything. We appreciate it.”

“Diane is a first CUSTOMER that I’m leaving a review for… As her IT consultant, Diane proves to us weekly that she is a capable, responsible, honest and hard working woman! Diane’s care of her customers, their security, her professionalism towards them and what she does to keep up with technology and security, is above any other lawyer we’ve worked with! Diane’s contribution to the attorney community in Arizona is a fresh breath of greatness, and the fact that she’s been practicing law and helping so many lawyers grow, tells us she’s the last person to quit, and the first person to help. Thanks to Diane, we have made lots of connections with the legal industry, the state bar, lawyers and firms in Arizona and out. She’s an honest, professional and “easy going” down to earth lady.”

“Diane helped me file a bankruptcy. I messed up and continued paying on one credit card. It was because of Diane’s expert help that I was refunded my full amount of $1200.”

“Diane helped me file a bankruptcy. I messed up and continued paying on one credit card. It was because of Diane’s expert help that I was refunded my full amount of $1200.”

“I can’t begin to adequately express how professional, caring and dialed in Ms. Drain was when I consulted with her.  Her knowledge and ability to ask the right questions enabled myself to have a great conversation and come away with a plan of action.  I would give more stars if I could.”

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.”

“Like many people, I was very apprehensive about filing bankruptcy. At 65 years old, I always thought- That would never be me! But after paying all my bills for 49 years and barely treading water, I was laid off and found myself with nothing. I talked to 5 other attorneys before I found Diane, and they were not a good fit. In fact, most gave me inappropriate advice or simply wrong facts. I found Diane from the BBB website and I knew from our first conversation she was the attorney for me. Diane is so knowledgeable, thorough, timely and efficient! She is also compassionate and caring. And Jay (in the office) was wonderful too! I would recommend Diane to anyone who might have to go through the difficult process of bankruptcy.”

“Diane helped me straighten out my case, after an attorney from a different law firm, made serious mistakes in my filing that could have been extremely detrimental. If not for her very professional guidance, constant communication and follow-up, while being firm and holding me accountable for producing the required documents, I don’t know what I would have done. This was a very tough time for me, and Diane’s extensive knowledge, professionalism, and guidance got me through it. Thank you so much, Diane! You are so very much appreciated.”

“If you have to file bankruptcy, I recommend you hire Diane Drain. After speaking to 3 other bankruptcy attorneys before Diane, I believe I know the difference between a knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy bankruptcy attorney, and one who is not. Diane helped guide me through the bankruptcy every step of the way, with a very calm demeanor, which I really needed. My debts have now been discharged, and I have never been happier!”

“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 a very informative, thorough, highly intelligent and respectful individual and lawyer. Any questions or concerns I had throughout my bankruptcy, she answered everything promptly with additional information. I recommend her services 100%!! Nothing but the highest praise for her and Jay.”

“We want to thank you for taking our bankruptcy case. It was a time in our life when we were emotionally, and financially distressed. You put our minds, and emotions, at ease, by confronting each of these issues. You made us feel as though we were your friend; for that we are grateful. We would recommend your service to anyone facing these same difficulties and needing someone to guide them through such struggling times. Forever Grateful.”

“After choosing to file bankruptcy, I selected another attorney at first, which was a huge mistake. He offered payment plans which seemed to be a good choice at the time. However, his lack of communication and errors in my documents filed with the court were going to cost me in the long run! I fired him and chose to work with Diane and Jay instead, which turned out to be the right decision. Her professional guidance and continuous communication helped me get back on track with filing my case correctly. You cannot afford to make mistakes when filing bankruptcy, or it will cost you. Diane will guide you in the right direction at all times. She was firm and held me accountable for providing the required documents, and even though she was very busy, always made me feel important and welcome, too. She understands that a simple mistake could cost you in many ways, and works very hard to avoid this. Bankruptcy is a delicate situation and one that can be overwhelming. Diane will guide you through it, with very clear and detailed instructions, and excellent communication. Her knowledge of the law and her expertise are second to none, and I highly recommend 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!”

“My husband and I wanted to begin the process of starting our bankruptcy, but it’s really scary not knowing who you can trust and who would step up to bat for you. Diane and Jay really did that, it felt like we had some friends who cared about us and took their time to walk us through each step with compassion and no judgment what so ever! I would refer them to any and all of my closest family and friends if they were in need of a bankruptcy! Thank you both for taking care of us and taking the time!!”

“I had the wonderful experience of working with Diane Drain to get me through the bankruptcy process. Diane was a Law Professor for many years. She knows the law VERY WELL. I was having trouble with payroll judgement deductions as well as the inability to purchase a home. All of the legal issues and stress is over and has been discharged in the bankruptcy. A fresh start feels so good! I am now looking forward to purchasing a home in the near future. Also a big thank you to Jay the Paralegal who also assisted. Thank you so Much Diane!!!”

“As you can imagine, filing for bankruptcy can be stressful. Finding the right attorney can add to this stress. Working with Diane and Jay to guide me through this difficult process was the best decision I could have made. They are professional and kind, and a true pleasure to work with. I will never forget how much they helped me get my life back.”

“Diane Drain and her paralegal, Jay McClimon were absolutely top-notch and experienced in every respect. She’s experienced, kind, and compassionate – 3 qualities you really want in a bankruptcy attorney. I had been feeling very paralyzed for 2 years, knowing I needed to file for a Chapter 7, but overwhelmed and, frankly, terrified of the process. After months of panic attacks, sleepless nights and anxiety, I realized: I can’t live this way. I spoke to several lawyers and got a lot of bad advice (“quit your job”). Finally, a friend referred me to Diane. She patiently and guided me through a process that I simply could not have done without her. And it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had built it up to be in my mind. After 3 months, the Chapter 7 was discharged and closed. It’s now in my rearview mirror and I can focus on rebuilding my life. Thank you, Diane and Jay. You literally saved my sanity and helped me get back on track.”

“No one wants to go through bankruptcy. But if you do find yourself in that position, it’s not the end of the world. If you need someone to help you get through the bankruptcy process, choose Diane. She won’t let you down. If you find yourself in the situation where you have to go through bankruptcy proceedings, there is no better persons that Diane and Jay. She treats you as if you were her only clients, and shows compassion for your circumstances. She will not lead you astray. The one thing that sets her apart in my mind, is that she encourages you to move forward; that bankruptcy is not the end and you can use the lessons learned from this challenge to do better. She even gifted us a Dave Ramsey book, Starting Over. That was back in early 2015. Boy, was she right! Since then, we embarked on a journey of becoming debt free and paying off the remaining debts. Never again do we want to go through that process again. Now more than five years later, my husband and I have one more month and we will finish paying off our last remaining debt.

“My husband and I wanted to begin the process of starting our bankruptcy, but it’s really scary not knowing who you can trust and who would step up to bat for you. Diane and Jay really did that, if felt like we had some friends who cared about us and took their time to walk us through each step with compassion and no judgment what so ever! I would refer them to any and all of my closest family and friends if they were in need of a bankruptcy! Thank you both for taking care of us and taking the time!!”

“Mrs. Drain made a very stressful time in my life easier to manage by providing detailed direction through my bankruptcy process. From day one I felt comfortable with Dian and Jay in addition to feeling confident with my decision to file. She is always quick to respond to my questions and was patient in providing clear direction and advice. I would highly recommend Mrs. Drain to anyone in need of her law services.
The Best.”

“Both Diane Drain and Jay McClimon at Law Office of D.L. Drain are by the far the most passionate, honest, and hardworking people I have ever met. Thank you again for your expert care with our bankruptcy case.”

“Diane is very detailed, and although it may be overwhelming it is in your best interest to do EXACTLY what she says to do. Follow her directions, be organized and prepared. This helps to ensure that your assets are protected, and the Bankruptcy is discharged. I appreciated her patience and professionalism”

“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!”

“Diane Drain, and her amazing teammate, Jay were two of the most helpful, caring individuals I have met in a long, long time. The process of bankruptcy is daunting, having a guiding hand and experienced consul are an extremely important aspect. Remember, this is your bankruptcy, and you get out of it what you put in. It is hard work. It is not easy. If you follow Diane’s outline and are proactive, it will go on track and follow its course. If you do not, you will face challenges. Be prepared, trust in Diane, trust in Jay, and her team, you will climb the mountain and be successful.”

“Diane’s expertise and solid experience and instructions made my entire Bankruptcy process very understandable and helpful! Her guidelines helped tremendously. The entire process would have daunting without her professional help. Anytime I need any professional legal help in the future she will be the first one I call and recommend to my closest family and friends!”

“I have worked in the demanding High Technology Industry for over 40 years and have been involved with many stressful and high pressure business situations worldwide. None of these experiences prepared me for the prospect of dealing with the discussions of filing for bankruptcy and the day to day emotions associated with this process. Fortunately my wife and I selected Diane Drain’s Firm as our Bankruptcy Law Firm. Diane Drain is extremely knowledgeable, extremely well organized and has predefined processes that help the client through this complex process. Please understand that you must be prepared and willing to follow these processes and you will get very good results in return. You will not be “ babied “ and you will have to put in the required time and effort, but Diane’s processes and methodology does work. My wife and I are very happy with our decision to engage Diane Drain and we highly recommend her.”

“The best of the best to be represented by Diane. Very high grade!!!”

“Thank you speaking with me and for the advice given. Wish I would have found you to begin with.”

“Thank you !!! Diane and Jay for all your help. I would highly recommend your services. You were very caring and helpful during the whole process. You gave us great guidance through a very stressful time. We appreciate it.”

“I approached Diane with a large debt problem. Although I was working with a company to pay down the debt, one of the credit card companies decided to sue me. This would have destroyed all my pay-back efforts. Quite frankly I was scared about having to deal with a big credit card company in court. I think they were about to roll me. I sought help from Diane with some degree of trepidation. But Diane was able to explain everything to me even though I was under a lot of personally imposed stress. Diane understood all the emotions that were flowing through me and kept me relaxed enough to get through the entire process. She was part Lawyer, part Psychologist, and part Mother Hen. It was exactly what I needed. I really can’t say that going through Chapter 7 was fun, but Diane made the process acceptable and kept me focused when I needed to be focused. I absolutely recommend Diane to anyone considering walking down this path. Thank you Diane. This has made a huge difference in my life.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Diane. The way she handled my not typical circumstances was amazing. I was very nervous to start the bankruptcy process but Diane just has a very comforting way of explaining the whole process. Communication is key when entering into a bankruptcy and there was never a time when I was unsure about where I stood. Diane and Jay were always willing to take their time to answer any questions I might have. My only regret is that I didn’t find Diane sooner. If you find yourself in a financial situation that you can’t correct on your own, please Call Diane Drain as soon as possible.”

“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!”

“Diane and Jay provide hope and ease throughout a very stressful situation. Diane is thorough, knowledgeable, experienced and trustworthy. She takes her time with each step ensuring she understands the story. They are both available when needed and respond timely. She provides the educational tools to help you be prepared for the next steps. I would recommend Diane Drain to anyone needing BK assistance.”

“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.”

“Diane and Jay did a great job for us. Diane is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and well-connected bankruptcy lawyer. She instructed us well, was invaluable in getting all the paperwork completed, and represented us well at the creditors’ meeting. Jay’s accounting and financial experience contributed a lot to the process. They were very accommodating, and tried to honor my work schedule as much as possible. Our situation was complicated by having moved here recently from another state, but that posed no problem for them. I highly recommend them.”

“Diane Drain is an expert who gets the job done!  We hired Diane Drain to handle a complicated eviction / Lift of Stay on a tenant who filed bankruptcy. Not only did she answer my multitude of questions in a timely manner, I quickly discovered that she has a vast knowledge of all kinds of bankruptcy issues. I was confident that I was in good hands. Her years of practicing law give her an edge over many novices and it is very apparent that she is well respected in the court system. I think Diane Drain is the best Bankruptcy attorney out there.”

“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.”

“Caring service”

“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.”

“Bankruptcy is not in anyone’s long term plans and was something my wife and I never really considered for years as we slowly drowned in debt. Despite the social stigma of bankruptcy, my wife and I started to educate ourselves about it and realized it was a great option for us. We live in Payson, AZ and talked with the first bankruptcy lawyer we could find in Payson. He made it clear that it was the option for us but we felt demeaned and uncomfortable with some of his suggestions. Still, we felt like it was our only options so we started to move forward with him.

Soon after we retained him, we started doing our research on him and found that he had a number of red flags. Our uncomfortableness was founded. We started searching for a highly rated lawyer and found Diane. Even though she wasn’t 100% sure that representing us was our best option (due to location), she confidently and patiently answered numerous questions for us. She even gave us some other options for lawyers that she highly respected. We truly felt as though she had our best interests in mind.

In the end, Diane was able to represent us and her communication, leadership and clarity throughout the process was night and day different than our first lawyer. I can’t stress to you enough how important it was for us to have made the switch. While we were hurting financially, it was %1000 times worth it to lose the money on the retainer to our previous lawyer.

Bankruptcy is something you have to take ownership of. There was a lot of work for us to do and our case’s quality depended on us taking ownership. However, Diane was a great coach in letting us know each upcoming step and what was needed. She simplified it so that we weren’t ever overwhelmed.

When our family met in court we were at peace and confident in our preparation. Furthermore, there was a high level of respect our trustee had with Diane. This made us feel good about our representation and further confirmed our confidence in her.

It has been a year since my wife and I started to consider bankruptcy and my wife and I find ourselves pondering our last year. This time last year we felt hopeless with our debt and struggling to find any solutions. Now, we have hope for the future, more discipline with our finances and eternally thankful for Diane’s guidance through the process. We out 5 months after discharge (with a credit score of 688 which we didn’t think was possible for us) and happy to be moving into a new year with this behind us.

From beginning to end, Diane was consistent, calm, encouraging, thorough and helped us feel hope again. We can’t say enough great things about Diane!

Bankruptcy was the avenue to financial freedom for our family and it might be for yours too. Our only suggestions are to:
1. Make it a lifestyle change so you can get free and stay free
2.Take ownership of your own situation and your own bankruptcy
3. Hire Diane and trust her to help you!”
