Krista

“I would refer David Hagen to my best friends if they were in financial trouble. I wish I had met him before. He teaches you to be very organized in the process, and after the bankruptcy is over he makes you learn never to get in trouble again.I wish all the lawyers were like him, the world would be a better one.”

Julia

“We first met with Mr. Hagen the second week of June, 2013 to discuss our situation. From the outset he was understanding, LISTENED, asked pertinent questions and actually seemed interested in our situation. After talking with Mr. Hagen and discussing the options with my wife, I decided to file Chapter 7, which was filed on June 20, 2013 and discharged on October 1, 2013.At all times Mr. Hagen was professional, courteous and kind and he did not make us feel like dolts as has happened in the past with other attorneys. His staff was also very courteous and knowledgeable in their duties and answered all my questions without hesitation,

It would be my honor to recommend Mr. Hagen to anyone considering filing. Bankruptcy.”

Sincerely,

Guy

“I filed bankruptcy with Mr. Hagen and it went very smoothly and was successful. I did my homework regarding bankruptcy prior to seeing him and saw another lawyer as well. The reason why I chose him is because he was a former bankruptcy Trustee and felt that may give an added advantage. Before seeing any bankruptcy attorney I think one should educate themselves regarding the process. Make sure you know what services are being covered with the retainer that is paid. To be honest certain services that Mr. Hagen was offering was an extra charge while this was included for other attorneys. I just want the customer to be aware so you may make an informed decision. Not taking anything away from Mr. Hagen. He is very professional, attentive, and knowledgeable and I would choose for him to represent me again.”

A Chapter 7 Client

“We came to David Hagen for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. As this is not the best time in someone’s life, David was incredible. He put us at ease with his manner and humor, but those were backed up by his knowledge and years of experience. He and his office were super-efficient, professional, kept their promises, and our bankruptcy went smoothly and was approved. David and his staff did this all with ease and charm.In the year since, we’ve had to contact David’s office several times for some advice, and some duplicate paperwork we wanted. All was done for us quickly and courteously; no questions asked.

I definitely recommend David Hagen to be the attorney for your needs. Great guy.”

Francesca

“David proved over and over again to be genuinely interested in the personal wellbeing of my father-in-law. He was able to assist us in making the best decision regarding the options that were available to him. A Bankruptcy/Chapter 7 was determined to be his best course of action. David was extremely helpful, thorough, professional and compassionate. It was the best decision we could have ever made in using him for our legal needs. He has continued to assist us even after the discharge was awarded. I highly recommend him!”
