I just received a C7 discharge order. Eileen did a truly outstanding job throughout the nearly 3 years it took to plan and execute a complex strategy. Her knowledge and performance were truly impressive and achieved exactly the objective I wanted. Despite a couple of bumps and curve balls, I ended up even better off than expected and even now I am still in my home awaiting final developments; a considerable bonus in the bargain. My case was highly complex with sometimes conflicting goals. She navigated me through it perfectly and kept me calm when I was inclined toward moments of panic. In an age when quality often falls short of advertisement Eileen is an outstanding exception. She provided me with reliable and valuable counsel prior to the actual filings we made and flawlessly managed them once we engaged. In all, a client could not be in better hands.

Competent, Caring, Professional Attorney that Knows the law! If you need an attorney that can produce results ,choose Eileen Dolaghan. She took me through a Chapter Seven Bankruptcy, with ease. She answered my calls quickly, and always had the answers to my questions. My case was difficult and complicated, and she was able to handle it with ease. I will recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney for Bankruptcy & Debt, Estate Planning. She kept me informed about the progress of my case, and helped to keep me remain calm during this stressful situation. As soon as I left the office, my relief started. She has a talented staff that is also caring and compassionate. Amazing lawyer, that practices with integrity.

We hired Dolaghan Law to help us navigate a complex, time-sensitive Chapter 13. Eileen and her staff were highly responsive, she quickly developed a strategy that met all of our goals, and communication throughout the process was excellent. Bankruptcy can be extremely stressful, and I'm pleased to say the only surprise was how quick and easy the process was. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family with similar needs.

My wife and I struggled with debt for several years after the downturn sapped savings and increased our debt load trying to stay above water. After a consultation with Eileen, it was determined that Chapter 13 was our avenue to relief and cure. Although no easy path, after 4 years we emerged debt free. Eileen gave constant guidance and advice--always available to us. We are extremely grateful to Eileen, her staff and, of course, Mac! Highly recommended!

Ms. Dolaghan is an extremely knowledgeable attorney. She has helped us through this difficult time and process from day one. She listened to our situation, made suggestions, and then once we collectively made a choice on which way we needed to go she made things happen as quickly as possible. We have been a client of hers since before she went solo and started Dolaghan Law and choose to stay with her as she ventured out on her own. She is extremely knowledgeable in the laws and is highly respected by her peers. We just completed a grueling 5 yr plan with her right by our side the entire way. Every time I called her office either she or one of her paralegals either spoke with us, or returned our calls as soon as it was possible. The entire staff she has are wonderful to speak with, knowledgeable, kind, and always listened to our concerns when we called in with questions or what we perceived as problems. They all turned what we thought were mountains of problems into small hills which made it easy and calming for us to continue moving forward with everything. Since completing our chapter 13 bankruptcy we have been able to finally put money into savings, purchased a new vehicle, and are looking forward to a bright and promising financial future. I will be using her as my attorney for all future needs in all legal areas she does handle and for a referral for matters she doesn't handle.

Few visits, good discount, professional answers, handling of the case and excellent results in a short time frame. I am satisfied with the results, I highly recommend lawyer Dolaghan and her paralegal Terez expertise to deal with your bankruptcy case.

Having hired our first Atty, filing for chapter 13, my wife and I were getting billed for things that were discharged in our case. After several attempts to get help from our previous Atty to no avail, a friend recommended Eileen. From the very start, we were totally impressed with her, not just professionally, but on a personal level as well. We were having issues with a creditor that kept posting a debt to the Credit companies that had been discharged. Eileen was able to get our credit cleared and a settlement as well. She keeps you advised of your case and will always reply to your E-mails and /or phone calls. Filing Bankruptcy is stressful enough. You want and need an Atty, that will help alleviate the headaches. She's the one to do it!

Contemplating bankrupcty is never easy. I felt like a failure but will say after everything it was the best decision I have made so far. I first meet with Eileen in April 2015 to look into doing a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. She explained everything in details. I honestly ft in love with Eileen because of the fact she is very down to earth i felt i could talk to her and not feel like she was judging because of this situation. Her staff was the best. She also brings her doggie to work everyday, that made my decision easier to do as I am an Animal Lover myself. Also she didnt have me sign a contract like a previous lawyer did on the consultation. That did leave a bad taste in my mouth. However after talking to her she explained she doesnt make any contracts with her clients and that if needed you could set up a payment plan with her. I didn't end up doing the Bankruptcy until Jan 2016 when i received notification from my job that I would have a garnishment started for $250 which left me with $300 per paycheck to live on. Once I received that email from my job I contacted Eileen immediately. She was able to do an Emergency Bankruptcy case to stop the garnishment immediately. Due to payroll timing in my job the money came out but within 1 week the money was returned to me. I was able to get half of her fees paid up front and made two payments in a month so by Feb 2016 she was able to continue my case w. The court. Now keep in mind that the court date was pushed a few times by the court system so we were finished byJun 2016. Everything was cleared I went from having a credit score of around 560 to 640 within a month after. Now 3 months later my credit score is around 680. I was able to open a banj account an got a credit card first time in five years. Once again this has been a great decion for me. Hopefully i wilm be able t oget a home soon. Rhank you so much ilean for making this process easy and painless.

My husband and I were up to our eyeballs in debt. We owed more on our house than what it was worth. We owed money on our cars. We owned money on student loans. We owed money on doctor bills for our disabled child. We owed money to the IRS. Eileen worked up a plan with monthly payment we could afford including lowering our monthly mortgage payment. Now we can sleep at night!

My wife and I both had serious medical issues arise at about the same time. I was already retired and my wife lost her job because of illness. We had serious medical debts along with a greatly educed income. Eileen was great in leading us through our bankruptcy and even getting us in contact with a CPA to help us with the tax issues associated with a foreclosure. I would recommend her to anyone.
