Filing for bankruptcy is a necessary but unpleasant experience — the staff at DebtStoppers was very patient, understanding, and professional. Michelle Hopkins, the paralegal I dealt with, was especially helpful and responsive. I would definitely recommend DS for anyone in need of filing.

I've filed bankruptcy before, but these guys made it super_easy! They basically did all the legwork. Anthony (my attorney) was brutally honest and cut straight to the chase. NO HIDDEN FEES! I feel as if a huge weight has been lifted.

Not only was the response time prompt, the staff members who served me were all very helpful. Everything was thoroughly explained and executed. Although they were great I'm praying to never need their services again; however, I'd highly recommend.
