  Our lawyer Dale Smith and Oregon fresh start was a good experience. He was helpful and communication was on spot. This experience has given up a new financial opportunity and relieved the stress of living paycheck to paycheck. I highly recommend this program to anyone struggling to make ends meet due to poor financial choices.

  It's not an easy choice to choose bankruptcy, but I couldn't have asked for better help! Dale was very thorough and helpful the whole way. He answered most my questions without me having to ask. The experience was as quick and painless as it could get. I had previously interacted with other lawyers and firms and this one was by far the best for my bankruptcy. I would definitely recommend Oregon Fresh Start!! I really do feel like I have had a fresh start. Like I can take charge of my life again. It was a very scary process to start, but in the end it couldn't have gone better! Thank you Dale very much!!

  I was contacted from my work about a garnishment. It was a bill I had no clue about a long time ago. They would of took most of my check where I could not afford my bills. So I looked up bankruptcy. It had Dale Smith and I also thought look at that the same name as my mom's friend ( different person though). I called Dale up and I was stressing so much at the time. Dale took the time to talk to me about my options and how I'd go about processing each one and what affects it would have on me. Dale made it very easy to understand. Dale told me what bankruptcy would be good for me after I myself decided to actually go that direction. Dale had me fill out the paperwork and it was easy to send them back to him without leaving my town I lived in. My job still took the big chunk out of my check and said they couldn't give it back because they didn't think they could or was suppose to. Dale talked to them and the collection agency and I got it returned to me. After that the hole process went smoothly and I got to keep paying on my truck and on my house I was in the process of getting. If it wasn't for Dale Smith and his company I would of lost everything and would probably be living in a tent with no job. Thank you Dale Smith and his team.

  I just wanted to reach out and thank Dale and his team for helping me through a very difficult decision regarding bankruptcy. From the very beginning, they guided me through every step of the process with professionalism, patience, and understanding. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and help reduce a lot of the anxiety and stress I was feeling throughout the experience. Filing for bankruptcy is not something most people ever expect or plan to go through in life, and it can feel overwhelming and emotional. Dale and his team treated me with kindness and respect during a very challenging time, and I truly appreciated their support and guidance. I'm grateful for all of their help and would highly recommend them to anyone needing compassionate and knowledgeable legal assistance.

  Filing bankruptcy was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, and there were times I cried because of the stress. Dale and his staff treated me with kindness and respect throughout the process. Whenever I had questions—even after my discharge—Dale took the time to respond and explain what I needed to do. I never felt like I was just another case. I'm very grateful for his professionalism, patience, and compassion. If you're looking for a bankruptcy attorney who genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend him.

  I had gotten to a point where my funds were running low, and filing for bankruptcy was the last thing I wanted to consider. I had worked hard to keep my credit afloat, so reaching that point was not an easy decision. I reached out to Dale, and from the very beginning, he was able to answer all of my questions about the process. He was upfront about the costs, what to expect, and what steps would be involved. The process itself was much simpler and more straightforward than I expected, and I was able to complete everything online. The company that handled the application was also good to work with. Throughout the process, whenever I had questions or concerns, Dale or his office responded within a reasonable amount of time. He was there for my hearing, kept me informed about each step and what was needed, and continued to answer my questions afterward. This was my second time going through the process with him, and I truly appreciate all of the help and support I received from Dale and his staff. I would absolutely recommend Dale to anyone who is considering or needs to go through this process.
