A Fresh Start Law

Thank you for everything! You have been such a huge help with our situation. We both appreciate it. Thanks again!\r more

I have referred you to two people so far and will continue to in the future. I am so glad that I know you it is nice to know you are there when needed.\r more

Thanks so much for your work on our case. You made a stressful and unpleasant process as easy as can be. Everything is going well, and we learned an important lesson. We are actually SAVING money for the first time in years instead of buying things we really don't need.\r more

I called around to several lawyers to get prices on how much a bankruptcy would cost me. A Fresh Start was one of the first places I called & attorney Dorothy Bunce candidly told me she did not have the cheapest price in town, so I kept calling until I found someone who gave me a really good price. Bit mistake! First off, the price I was quoted wasn’t the price I got after the attorney added in all the extras. Second, I got no face time with the attorney beyond the first 5 minutes of the ""free consultation."" Third, I had to practically do the bankruptcy myself - the paralegal gave me more than 20 pages of paperwork to fill out, and every time I had a question, I couldn’t ask the attorney for an answer, I had to ask the paralegal. Who knows if the advice she gave me was correct or not? Finally, at the courthouse, my attorney and the Fresh Start Attorney, Dorothy Bunce, sit next to each other. Dorothy is laughing and talking to the Judge and the court staff, while my attorney is playing games on his tablet. Dorothy’s cases get called first, and her clients have no problems. They leave the courtroom smiling and happy. My case gets called and the Judge tells my attorney that I have to come back because he hasn’t provided my pay stubs, bank records, and tax returns. My attorney blames me for not giving him these documents, which is a total lie! So I have to take off work again in two weeks and drop off another copy of my pay stubs, bank records, and tax returns to the paralegal. So I had to ask myself how much did I really save by using that cheap attorney? So I called A Fresh Start and asked Dorothy what her fees were. The price I was quoted included the court fees, the credit report, and the credit counseling, and Dorothy didn't try to hide what all the expenses involved were. The total amount she charged turned out to be less than what I paid my cheap attorney after having to pay for the cost of correcting all his mistakes. There might be some good cheap attorneys out there, but next time I need an attorney, I will look for one that doesn’t focus on providing cheap service.\r more

I spent many nights telling myself all kinds of bad names from fool to crook because I couldn't pay my bills anymore. So when attorney Dorothy Bunce told me that my money problems were completely normal and that I had done far better than most people would under the circumstances, I couldn't help myself - I started sobbing. When I went to bed that night, I slept well for the first time in many months. I am so happy I chose to see A Fresh Start to discuss my problems and I will never forget the kind words the attorney gave me during a free consultation.\r more

After losing my marriage and a job, I was drowning in debt. I had actually considered suicide. I know that sounds overly dramatic, but it's the truth. Finally getting up the nerve to seek legal advice, I saw two other attorneys in town. I left their offices hopeless and in tears. I then found Dorothy. My self esteem was already through the floor, but Dorothy made me feel that everything was not my fault. We discussed my situation and possible solutions over a cup of coffee at her office. I immediately felt like I was talking with a trusted old friend. She never made me feel bad or questioned how I got myself into such a financial pickle! And don't be fooled by her niceness - she knows what she's doing! She outlined everything that was going to happen with a Chapter 7. We discussed all the options available to my situation. I left her office with a folder containing not only all her contact information, but helpful articles, documents and timelines. After the process got rolling, she communicated everything with me, coaching me as to what paperwork was due now, what the next step would be, etc. When we finally got to the 341 meeting, I was prepared, calm and collected. How much is that worth? The whole process went through in about 4 months, smooth as silk, just as Dorothy said it would. And all this for one fixed price. I cannot give Dorothy enough praise or higher recommendations. Do yourself a favor. Hire this woman. You will not be disappointed. She literally saved my life.\r more

It was a very trying period of time but I am finally moving on and will be able to put this behind me. I also appreciated not having to go through bankruptcy alone. I am very appreciative of Dorothy's help. She took charge and came out with great results!!\r more

I very much appreciated the advice and updates that I received from Dorothy.\r more

It really does feel like a fresh start with the roller coasters and ups and downs I've been through in the past year and half or so. Things are getting back on track and I'm appreciative for the support that I received.\r more

I am pretty much pleased with the help and advice that I received from Dorothy at a Fresh Start.\r more

Dorothy came highly recommended and now I can see why. She is professional, knowledgeable and wise. I have really agonized over this decision and she put my mind at ease and helped me get the ball rolling. She kept me informed throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions quickly and in plain english for me to understand.\r more

We recently completed a bankruptcy case with Ms Bunce she was so very responsive to all our need and questions. Ms. Bunce made us feel so at ease during this very difficult and traumatic time. We had seen another attorney prior to hiring Ms. Bunce and had left that office felling quite hopeless, Ms Bunce gave us hope again and made this situation quite easy to get through. We highly recommend her!!\r more

I am glad that we found an honest attorney who will tell you the truth. It's not very often when you feel your attorney is your friend who genuinely cares and wants to help. Thank you Dorothy for being our support.\r more

I called many, many bankruptcy attorneys to see if someone could file a bk to stop our foreclosure sale. Yes it was at the last minute, the day before the sale, but Ms. Bunce returned my call promptly, while none of the other attorney bothered to call me back. A Fresh Start gave me a fresh start. Dorothy is very discreet and helpful. Appreciate her.\r more

If you are looking for a knowledgeable and effective attorney who not only really cares but is accessible to her clients, Dorothy Bunce is who you need know! She is honest and fair in all of her dealings and will go out of her way to help you. SHE IS SIMPLY THE BEST!\r more

Dorothy is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is very professional and communicates with me personally (verses an assistant) and is also very prompt in her responses. She is extremely knowledgeable, and always available to give you professional advice. She works with you every step of the way. A great attorney makes all the difference in the world during a stressful situation, and Dorothy helps you get through it.\r more

Last week I called Attorney Dorothy at A Fresh Start 5 times - 4 times she picked up the phone herself, and the 5th time she returned my call within a couple of hours. After meeting with her, I was sad to learn that she wasn't able to take my case, but she certainly gave me a lot of useful advice. Dorothy Bunce met me at 7 am on a Saturday morning since I work very long hours. I needed advice for my Dad, whose house has gone into foreclosure. I have never met with a lawyer for any reason before & was very surprised that Dorothy explained 4 different ways that Dad could save his house - and 3 of those ways did not involve hiring her! This attorney truly puts helping people before making money. We recently moved to Las Vegas after being driven out of our small hometown by the bank that foreclosed on our business. We filed bankruptcy with attorney Dorothy Bunce. Before Court, Dorothy described a gossipy conversation she had with the bank's lawyer, the one that had been so mean to us, saying how much heat the bank got because of how badly they treated us. Apparently our friends & neighbors raised quite a stink & complained loudly. Many even took their business elsewhere. At hearing this news, which that attorney never would have told us, my wife started sobbing with emotion at knowing how much people care for us. I can't think of another lawyer that would have broken down the bank's attorney like Dorothy did & gotten him to tell her this secret information. The fact that Dorothy understood how much it means to both of us to know that people do not despise us for having had a business failure & not paying our bills makes her a one in a million. Thank God we found her to take our case!\r more

I called Dorothy Bunce 5 times in the last week, and she personally picked up the phone 4 of those times before the third ring. On the 5th time, I left a voice message and got a prompt call back.\r more

I would highly recommend Dorothy G bunce. Not only was she very helpful throughout my bankrupcy case but also 3 years after when I was in need of a specific document she responded in less than 24 hours. I am really impressed with the level of service.\r more

Dorothy Bunce is a very calm person and she clearly knows how to solve debt problems. When I told her about my financial problems she was sympathetic but explained that there was really no need for me to worry. She then got me to laugh by telling me stories about crazy celebreties who owe millions of dollars to the IRS and file bankruptcy. Dorothy described other money problems she couldn't solve and I had to agree that my money problems were not nearly as serious as those she described. I have to admit I feel better knowing that other people who are famous and used to be rich are much dumber than I am.\r more
