Ms. Brazen is not only a wealth of knowledge but very honest. I was fortunate to have her on a couple of cases against me. She was able to negotiate a reasonable settlement on one case while fighting to dismiss the second. She very thorough and competent. I feel comfortable calling her when I need help or have any questions.
Diane is a fantastic lawyer. She takes the time to ensure you understand the process and provides education when needed. She is not a huge firm which allows her to spend quality time with her client. She was organized, listened, and worked with my schedule/location. Finally, she was compassionate to the nature of the circumstances. Divorce is what precipitated me to this need. I highly recommend her!
There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful Diane is at handling not only the practicalities of filing bankruptcy, but also the emotional aspects. From the very beginning I could tell she had my best interests at heart, and was determined to make it as easy a process as possible. And I was one of those clients who worried about everything! She knows the system and the processes inside out, and she guides you gently through everything you need to do, and not do. And she keeps you focused on the end result, which is freedom from the mess you've made. She didn't let me get dragged down in details, but had me keep moving forward in a positive way to do what I needed to do. And she made everything so simple, and easy to understand. Her legal knowledge is clearly exceptional, but above and beyond that, she has incredible integrity and that meant a lot to me. I highly, highly recommend her services.
I found Diane on the NACBA website. (National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys). Once I met with Diane, I knew that I was going to hire her. She is straight-forward in her discussions and very well organized so that the time you spend with her is productive. She also helped me to provide her with exactly what she needed and when. Her 30-years of experience is evident when she is walking you through the options and the outcomes of each. We just filed my case and we have our meeting set with the trustee. Diane's fees are quite reasonable and you are getting excellent service. I recommend Diane!
Diane did a great job of walking me through the process. I found her after dealing with a very unprofessional attorney and she managed to ease my mind and make this process as painless as possible.
Diane was not only a very knowledgeable attorney who gave us expert guidance in our very challenging situation but she was also extremely kind, supportive and not judgmental in any way. We would never have imagined in our wildest dreams that we would ever have to face anything like bankruptcy but unexpected health emergencies and subsequent job loss led us to that unimaginable place. My husband and I are very grateful that Diane was there to guide and support us through this very challenging time.
Diane is the best attorney. I'd recommend her to everyone. She's knowledgeable, and gave me a chance to go through the ch 7 process with dignity, calmed my fears, and made the process easier than I could of ever expected. It was because of how caring of an attorney she is that I am able to start over. She responded to my questions promptly, filed my papers on time. She is the best attorney! Thank you again Diane for all of your hard work!
Diane is extremely knowledgeable and was very helpful throughout our case. She has a very professional and calm demeanor. She responded promptly to calls and emails and explained things to the level of detail that we would understand. We did a lot of research on bankruptcy ahead of time and had a lot of questions. It really felt like it was a team effort as we felt engaged in the entire process. We have already recommended her to a friend with a similar situation to ours.
Diane was a fantastic attorney. She always made sure all the bases were covered so that there were no surprises. All my questions were answered promptly and I felt I was always kept informed. I really felt like I was important and not just another client. I can't say thank you enough for the great work she has done for me during a difficult time in my life.
Diane was very professional but also very caring. You could tell it was not just another case to her and that she was interested in helping you. E-mails and phone calls were always responded to promptly and updates on the status of the case were always provided timely. I would strongly recommend her to those seeking legal assistance.
