Dainen made my bankruptcy as painless as it could have been. I'm glad I went with him!
Dainen is an excellent attorney and really saved my life taking over my case after another attorney completely mis-managed it and nearly cost me tens of thousands of dollars.
I have worked with Dainen for about 9 months now on my case and he has helped me with all aspects of my case when my original attorney failed to return calls or do what he actually stated he would do. Dainen made this difficult time in my life much easier and is still helping me today with my case. I appreciate all the help he has provided to me. I also appreciate the quickness he provides with return calls/emails.
Excellent lawyer. Worked with me and my husband on bankruptcy and really understands what the procedure is about. Drove 2 hours to be at our hearing with us because we requested. Responds to questions within 24 hours. I highly recommend!
He was kind and compassionate during a very difficult period in my life. He kept me informed at all stages of my case and was open to suggestions and answered all my questions with clear direct answers. I felt he was my advocate and guide. I have given his name to friends who have needed legal advice and will do so in the future.
