I Really Do Care About All My Clients

Our clients include individuals and small businesses with financial difficulties. When they come to us, they are facing foreclosures, garnishments, and evictions, to name a few examples.

At the end of our representation we invite each client to write a short review of how their life changed after bankruptcy, and how they felt we helped them get a fresh start.  Our average review is a “A” or “Five Stars” which we are quite proud of. On request, personal referrals are happily supplied.

“Our reputation is built on our clients’ faith in our ability to assist them through a tough moment.” Our promise to each client is to deliver the best advice possible, given their situation.

Over the years we have met and worked with some of the finest attorneys in Arizona. Many of these attorneys have left remarks on Martindale Hubbell, AVVO and LinkedIn.

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.

    Diane showed me that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that I am not alone in my struggle!

    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 will be expected of me. It was a scary thought for me, filing for bankruptcy because I have always believed that I should be responsible for my debts even if they have been putting me in 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.

    She broke down the process into manageable portions that I could handle.

    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.”

    Top Notch Representation, Personalized Service!

    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!”

    “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.”

    “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.

    Diane genuinely cares about her clients

    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.

    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 told me how to file a complaint against Scott Forrester and ask the State Bar for my money back.

    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.”

    Her assurance that there was nothing to be ashamed of, gave us the incentive to proceed

    “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.”

    We highly recommend Diane Drain IF you are looking for the educated, knowledgeable, honest and transparent (and very fairly priced) attorney!

    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!”

    I couldn’t have done it — wouldn’t have dreamed of even trying — without you and Jay. You’re the very best!

    “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!”

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.

    She is like your favorite professor who just happens to be a spitfire attorney and advocate for understanding, support, kindness and knowledge

    “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.”

    From our initial consultation, we were impressed by Diane’s legal knowledge and compassionate nature

    “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!”

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!”

    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 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.”

    Her warmth and caring and wealth of experience greatly eased the stress

    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!”

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 has a very calm confidence because she knows the laws inside and out.

    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

    There were no demons or dragons. It my constitutional right to be free of debt.

    “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 will clearly and patiently explain to you the most critical information.

    “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.”

    If you do your work (make sure everything is accurate) she will do hers and you will have great results.

    “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 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.”

    After paying all my bills for 49 years and barely treading water, I was laid off and found myself with nothing

    “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.”

    I have a much clearer understanding of my choices and that has made the financial challenges much easier to deal with.

    “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 understands that a simple mistake could cost you in many ways.

    “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!”

    You literally saved my sanity and helped me get back on track

    “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.”

    She won't let you down.

    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.

    The BEST! – Five Stars

    “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!”

    You will have to put in the required time and effort, but Diane’s processes and methodology does work

    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.”

    “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.”

    Communication is key when entering into a bankruptcy

    “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.”

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.”

    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.”

    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.

    “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!”

    Finding the right lawyer to help with a financial reboot

    “We found ourselves in a financial tsunami 2 yrs ago. No matter how we did things the financial outlook was getting worse and worse. We finally decided we needed to investigate options. Once we found Diane Drains website and started to learn what the process of bankruptcy entailed we felt there could be an answer for us. We made an appoint to speak with Diane and decided this was the path we needed to take. While we were getting our documents in order and other paperwork completed, we became bogged down once again thinking maybe we can try something else, something different. So after delaying almost a year longer in April of 2017 we finally jumped onboard @ 100%. Diane and Jay were great guiding us and making sure we had all the items needed completed. They filed, kept us informed, went to the Trustee’s meeting with us, and kept us inform during the entire process. They made the whole process less painful and manageable. We owe a debt of gratitude for Diane having the wisdom to use her website to promote the education of the bankruptcy process available to everyone. If it had not been for her well thought out website and the detailed information we would have had to take our chances with the process. If you find yourself totally stressed and unsure of how you can repair your financial health, you can rest assured that Diane and Jay will do what is needed to get you through the process. They’ll give you peace of mind once again.”

    “She was very professional and stayed in her lane as she knew I had already hired another Attorney. She was kind and made me feel better about my choice that I made. She gave me sound advice, and she didn’t have to do that. This to me is a sign as to what kind of person and Attorney she is. If I hadn’t had already made a decision I would not have hesitated to look at the possibilities of retaining her. I will however be recommending friends I know that need help to her.”

    Just wanted to share our story so you can share with others that come in

    “Diane I just wanted to give you an update on us. We filed bk with you representing us about 7 years ago now. Just wanted you to know we are doing very well. We did listen to you and have no credit card debt to this day. We purchased a home 3 years ago but stayed way under our budget. We bought vehicles but both vehicles are a lot cheaper than what we could have purchased and the one is almost paid off and we have owned it a year. Vehicles are our weakness. We would like to get better in that area. We have only paid interest on our vehicles and home since we filed. We try to follow Dave Ramsey as much as possible. So paying off everything is our goal. I am doing amazing in real estate now and my husband is still at UPS and doing well.

    That was the hardest time in our life and it was rough on our marriage and mental state. We ended up needing counseling 2 years ago for our marriage and our counselor said our problems started 5 years ago and wanted to know what happen then. Well that’s when we filed.  I don’t know how people file every 10 years. Thank you for bringing us out of the mess we got ourselves in. We plan on never being in that situation ever again we look at money and credit very differently now. Just wanted to share our story so you can share with others that come in. It is not an easy road to just file bk. Take care and thank you.

    Follow-up  from client : please tell people that the first year is hard but after doing a lot of research on how to build our credit by reading bk forums we were able to get back to doing very well. Now we have credit scores in the 740-750 range.  So, yes it isn’t the end all, but it isn’t easy either you have to buckle down and not blame each other as well.  It happens to more people that the public realizes.”

    “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 was such a pleasure working with Diane through this difficult process. Diane is a wonderful attorney who not only knows the bankruptcy law inside and out, but is very compassionate and explains everything in detail through each step of the process. If you are in need of an experienced attorney, who will have your back while you navigate the bankruptcy process, look no further than Diane.”

    I was in financial turmoil for various reasons and was running scared

    “Five years ago, I was in financial turmoil for various reasons and was running scared. I did not know what to do or how how was going to get out of the mess I was under. I avoided answering my phone and opening collection letters like the plague. I didn’t want to admit that I needed legal help. I was stubborn and thought I could handle it….wrong!!! I consulted with two different attorneys and left both feeling like I was just number and not an actual person who needed help. To my good fortune, I then found and consulted with Diane Drain. I felt at ease with her. She listened to me with empathy and understood my situation and reassured me that she would help me and that I was not a failure and that bankruptcy is a legal right to anybody who just needs a fresh financial start. Filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a lot of work and takes tremendous discipline but Diane and Jay were with me every step of the way and I will be forever grateful to them for helping me through a very dark time and providing me a guiding and comforting light while I worked toward getting my life back on track. For me, the third time was the charm. Diane and Jay, I thank you so very much for all of your help. You truly are a credit to all you represent and I will not hesitate to refer anybody I know to you should he or she need legal financial advice.”

However, the choice I made to select her as my attorney was no doubt one of the best decisions of my life to this point. Call her…call her now and get control of your life back…I did!!!

After sitting down with Diane and going over all our options, it was clear to us what our next strategy was to be dealing with our situation. She was honest and upfront with us and really knows her subject matter. All of our questions were answered and if anything arises in the future(and it probably will) she stresses please don’t hesitate to call her.

    To file bk was a very hard decision to have to make

    “To file bk was a very hard decision to have to make. I felt like a failure. In my early 20’s my husband and I bought a home and financed it using an arm loan. Long story short…we trusted a lot of people we shouldn’t have. We thought we were asking all the right questions, but there was so much we didn’t know. The economy tanked about the time our arm adjusted and our monthly payment skyrocketed. We worked with the lender for months to get a modification, just to be put back into another arm loan with a higher payment. After a year on the modification we realized we were back in the same place we were previously….arm loan set to adjust during a recession. So we decided to short sale. It felt like the right thing to do. Just up and walking away from the home seemed so dishonest. The first and second mortgage would both make money off the short sale and we would sleep at night knowing we did as much as we could right in a bad situation. Wrong! Another thing we learned the hard way is that the 2nd mortgage can, and will, agree to a settlement and then sue you for the rest. We tried, and TRIED, to work out a payment plan with them, but they refused. They wanted all or nothing. That’s when I went looking for an attorney and found Diane. On a personal and professional level I couldn’t have dreamt of a better person to be on my side. She knows the law and wants us to know the law. She was concerned about our future financial welfare. My experience with her was not- pay a fee, file, and good luck. My experience with her was that of a protective loving mentor. She wants people to succeed in life and gives you the tools to do so. I can’t recommend her enough and will be forever grateful for finding her!”

    “Your process and approach are clear, comprehensive, and thoughtful. You treated us with the utmost respect and left no stone unturned in helping us to sort through and make appropriate decisions from our first meeting through the final phase of the process. In fact, your process alone is more than worth your fee. The quality and extensive documentation, Q&A, plus your anticipation of potential challenges and roadblocks were especially complete and helpful.

    But it is your personal style, commitment to upholding the detailed level of review required to ensure client fulfillment of obligations under this difficult and complex process, and your willingness to patiently review topics, as well as your willingness to really listen and respond forthrightly to our questions and “special circumstances” that probably every client has that really stands out to us. As a couple who have never before experienced the kind of setbacks that ultimately led us to the decision to file Chapter 7 you focused on our case, did not treat us as a “cookie cutter” case and helped us navigate the process in a way that preserved dignity and focused on a successful outcome. We are most grateful for your and Jay’s professional approach and your commitment to providing outstanding support that we will always remember.”

    “Diane was a the best choice we could have made when choosing our legal counsel. She is as much a teacher as a lawyer, always patient and willing to answer any questions no matter how small. She was very thorough, making sure an already stressful situation did not become worse. She put us at ease immediately. Thanks Diane!”

    She knows the ins and outs

    “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!”

    “Just a quick note to say Thank You! We received our discharge paperwork this week and it has been a huge burden lifted off of our shoulders. I want to thank you for your total professionalism and the manner in which you treated us as clients….we never once felt judged for the position that we were in. Instead, we felt that you had a genuine concern for us as clients and that one of your goals is to insure that we were educated on the process and what our options were from the start. You were the main catalyst that made a very emotionally draining time very bearable and helped us to see the light at the end of a very long dark tunnel.”

    “Diane Drain and her staff have guided us through the rough terrain of a bankruptcy. From the beginning of this process, to an end that is quite near, Ms. Drain has provided the highest level of expertise. Her extensive knowledge of bankruptcy law has helped us immeasurably. Communicating with her and her staff has always been easy, swift and the information that is conveyed is very clear and put in layman’s terms. She will explain things as many times as she needs to with a good dose of patience. She helped us to pick up the pieces of our lives and to maintain our dignity while doing so. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this gem of an attorney”

    It was clear she cared and was committed to helping people.

    “When I made my decision to file for bankruptcy I did some research. I went through a link on the U.S. court website and read a lot online. Referrals from the court website didn’t include many local lawyers who were willing to list their fees. Not all the lawyers listed gave their fees but Ms. Drain did. Her fee was in the ballpark for me – not the very lowest and not the highest. I visited a few attorneys and they would give me a pile of papers to fill out and then their staff would input the information for an extra $1000! Who needs that, when I’m just as capable, or more, to enter my own information. When I then compared websites and saw Ms. Drain’s I immediately knew I was in the right place – in that her site has so much information about bankruptcy etc. with history, stories, financial information. It was clear she cared and was committed to helping people in financial distress. She is clearly a teacher. I especially liked her personal, caring tone -that showed compassion – in writing and in person – not the normal thing you think of with attorneys! I was able to do the process almost entirely online – which made it quick and easy for me. Yes, you have to get all your details together at home – but that’s not hard. I think by having to enter all the information and with quick responses to questions from Ms. Drain’s associate it was a way for me to take responsibility for the process and thus feel better about it in the end. They were very responsive, efficient, and most of all caring which made the process go quickly and feel good. I’m now heartened, and not cynical, about my experience with an attorney.”

We made mistakes but thanks to Diane we are already on the road to a better future. Recommended without any reservations.”

    I wish all attorneys treated their clients the way that Ms. Drain and Jay treated me.

    “I asked Ms. Drain to help me with a bankruptcy. When I first called I was scared, afraid to answer my phone and worried that my wages were about to be garnished. Ms. Drain was caring, professional and committed to making sure that I fully understood the bankruptcy process. She assured me that the law was designed to protect me. The process was complicated, but she always was available to help me with any questions. I have friends who hired Phillips and Associates to file their bankruptcy. Because of the education Ms. Drain provided me, I was explaining the bankruptcy process to my friends because their own attorneys would not take their calls. I wish all attorneys treated their clients the way that Ms. Drain and Jay treated me. I have referred my mother and a friend at work. They both think that Ms. Drain is the best attorney they ever talked to. She even answers her own phone.”

    I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Drain to anyone

    “It became necessary for me to file bankruptcy in earlier this year. While I was contemplating that action, I interviewed with several attorneys to determine their attitudes and work habits. In all but one I felt that the attorneys were far too impersonal and lacked the sensitivity that was displayed by Ms. Drain. Taking bankruptcy is not a very pleasant situation and, had I not had such a fine attorney as Ms. Drain, I would have been extremely distraught. Obviously, I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Drain to anyone that found themselves in a predicament and needed legal advice.”

    “As a single mother of two college sons, one can imagine, how difficult it was to explain to my sons that my finances between home, college and building past debt had me making the heartbreaking choice of filing bankruptcy. A dear friend recommended Diane to me. She was professional and spent hours during this process guiding me patiently through this somewhat complicated and tedious experience. She always returned my calls promptly, she stayed by my side during the court proceedings, but mostly she kept reassuring me that I would eventually be okay and begin again. It could have been a humiliating experience and Diane made sure that it was not. I give her Five Stars for the work she does. Thank you Diane.”

Before I called Diane, we did our own research, read everything on their web site, we liked what we read and called Diane’s office. Diane spent more than 1 and 1/2 hours on the initial consultation alone. Our chapter 7 is a bit more complicated but Diane made everything so easy to go through the process and Jay is also equally, extremely helpful to get the information into the electronic format, on time. When we needed any clarification they both were there to pick the phone and guide us through. I consider Diane is a God sent to us and I told her too. Both Diane and Jay are extremely professional, kind, considerate and down right genuine. Because of Diane’s experience and knowledge on legal matters, she will let you know what to expect right away.

We were led step by step as to what would need to be done and when. When we did have a question or concern she responded right away. We never had to call more than once. We were treated with the utmost care and respect. Many years ago I had been a victim of an attorney who treated me insultingly, never explained anything and did not return my calls.

    I never felt ashamed about my decision because you were so kind to me!

    “I never felt ashamed about my decision because you were so kind to me about my situation. I thank you for you kindness and compassion as I struggled with my decision. I also thank you for your integrity for allowing me to move the processes as slowly as I did and not charging me any additional fee’s! Thank you for everything Diane and Jay! Thank you for the tissues as I cried about my life… and you were kind enough to listen. Your guidance and support is the only thing that kept me from loosing my mind through this very stressful and confusing process. Not once did you ever make me feel stupid because I didn’t understand the process. You are appreciated greatly!”

    We are very happy we were referred to Diane for assistance

We followed her directions from start to finish and the process went smoothly. Having Diane in our corner, an experienced professional with a wealth of knowledge, turned out to be the best decision we could make. We are very happy we were referred to Diane for assistance.”

    There will never be a way to repay all you did for us.

    “I thought lawyers were all greedy. You made sure we could afford your fees which allowed us to keep our car. There will never be a way to repay all you did for us.”

    You have help me once again attain the American dream…

    “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…”
