Deciding to pick Doug and his legal assistant Michele to handle my bankruptcy case was one of the best decisions of my life. They explained the process to me, made me feel comfortable in the midst of a tricky and tough situation, and kept me updated every step of the way. I'm proud to say that my case is now discharged thanks to them. I knew during my first conversation with Doug that I was in good hands. If you're considering bankruptcy, you can't go wrong with the Law Offices of Douglas J. Powell.

Mr. Powell and Michelle handled my case quickly and effectively. They answered questions promptly and kept my wife and I informed every step of the way. They made something we viewed as tough very easy.

If you are even considering bankruptcy, please make an appointment with Doug and spend an hour with him to discuss your options. Doug is very straight-forward and makes you feel comfortable with your decision. I personally put off bankruptcy about a year too long, but when I decided to proceed, I wanted to file ASAP. Doug and his assistant, Michele, were very accommodating and helped calm my nerves. The most stressful part of the bankruptcy process is documenting all of your financial affairs. However, once you provide that information to Doug and Michele, they handle all of the dirty work, and you can just sit back and relax. I appreciate all of their help, and I highly recommend them for anyone considering bankruptcy. No more credit card debt for me!

Doug and Michelle did a good job for me under difficult circumstances. The lockdown started shortly after our first meeting.

Filing for bankruptcy is not an easy decision, neither is finding the right attorney. I am very pleased with Douglas Powell and his legal secretary, Michele. They not only met my expectations but went above and beyond. They are knowledgeable, caring. Informative, and respectful. I highly recommend Doug as your Bankruptcy Attorney. Thanks to them I can restart my financial responsibilities.

I had a slightly unusual bankruptcy case in that I live abroad and needed to file in a bankruptcy court nearly 10,000 miles away.  One attorney that rejected my case as too complicated  recommended Doug and I was impressed from the start by how helpful and knowledgeable he was.  By that point I had spent several weeks exploring my bankruptcy filing options and was convinced that a Chapter 13 was the only possibility but in a few minutes Doug helped me understand how I could qualify to get a Chapter 7 discharge in a few months rather than waiting years for a Chapter 13 discharge.  Doug and his team were amazing and made what I expected to be a very difficult and stressful process relatively easy and hassle free.
