However, she has also shown with her answers on Avvo that she has an excellent understanding of bankruptcy law. Her analyses consistently reveal her ability to cut to the chase and get to the heart of the issue at hand. Her answers and her videos give both clients and other attorneys an excellent resource about bankruptcy law and practice.

  • Experience counts!
    Read More

    “When it comes to medical and legal issues, experience counts. I arrived at my 341 creditors meeting very early and saw nearly a dozen meetings with the court trustee. During nearly every one the trustee chastised the bankruptcy filer’s attorney for errors or omissions. When Ms. Bunce and I walked up to the table for my meeting, the trustee knows that Ms. Bunce is the most experienced, most knowledgeable, most professional attorney he would be dealing with all day. My meeting was short, fast, and painless. I firmly believe it was because of Ms. Bunce’s known competency and history. Experience counts! I wanted an attorney that knows and has seen everything. Based on my research the choice was obvious and I am so glad that I had Ms. Bunce representing me during this difficult time.”

    Read More

    “It is with the greatest of pleasure that I highly endorse Dorothy. Not that she needs my endorsement as she is truly the leader of our AVVO online Q and A. Dorothy has literally given years and hundreds of hours of her time in answering questions for persons she will never meet nor receive a fee. Dorothy is just as quick to advise someone not to file bankruptcy and look at other options when it would be so easy to make bankruptcy the answer to all problems on the bankruptcy q&a. She looks at persons as individuals and not case numbers and offers real empathy for the client. She understands what our clients are facing as her bio clearly states. If you live in the Vegas area it will not be a gamble to see Dorthy for your debt and lien issues. She is a fantastic lawyer and I consider her a great online friend. To quote Dorothy, "Hope this perspective helps! "”

    “I endorse this lawyer. Las Vegas may seem like a long way from my home state of Minnesota, but bankruptcy is a creature of federal law and is quite similar from state to state. Both Ms. Bunce and I are prolific writers of answers on the AVVO legal questions forum. When I answer a question, more than likely she has already answered before I did. I read her answers carefully, and often learn something of value. She is very informed, very experienced and very wise.”

  • Dorothy is the most capable attorney I have ever met.

    “I am very happy today finally I got discharge letter, credit card debts are gone, during past 5 months, don't know how many times I looked this name " A fresh start", It touched my heart so much. really. I have to say if I didn't have Dorothy to be my attorney, I wouldn't have today. I owe $60,000 credit card debt, I was going to borrow money to do the debt reduction, it's going to cost me at least $ 25,000 and may take over a year. The reason I find Attorney Dorothy because she only charges 10% of the reduced amount not like other attorneys charge the whole debt amount's 10 %. When I met Dorothy, She suggested me to do chapter 7 bankruptcy, She herself gave up making $ 4000, would rather making $ 1400 and do the complicated bankruptcy paperwork, just because she thinks to borrow new debt to pay the old debt is bad action , She said having a fresh start of my life is better for me, and she has the confidence to make it happen. Other people told me if I have a job income is not low enough , it's gonna fail. But Dorothy told me it's wrong. We start on May, during those months, preparing all kinds of documents, fill forms, we have been sent each other 109 emails ! and I went to her office 6 times, what a work...... I read a lot of people's experience online, some attorney offer lower price get people in, later charge more and more, but not Dorothy, She could asked me to pay more, She spent so much time and energy on my case, especially because of my ignorant, didn't know the right way to calculate income, her had to spend more time re-calculate and explain to me..... My case is complicated because I have stock account, small business, such a mess, over 200 pages of document present, when trustee told me they need more bank documents, I felt I was collapsed.....But Dorothy was calm and at the first time guide me to prepared everything we need. Dorothy is the most capable attorney I have ever met, and She is the nice, kind, confident, hopeful, I asked her to treat her for dinner, she didn't want, I want to give her some gift, she said she didn't need anything, Dorothy is like an angel, I can see her heart , she is not for making money, she is there for helping people. I am here giving all my best blessings and wishes to Dorothy, You have a wonderful weekend.......... ( Sorry my English is not so good . )”

  • From that initial moment, all the way until today we are certain that was the best choice we could have made.
    Read More

    “Part of the reason we dug ourselves so deep into our hole was that we were so afraid of all the unknowns of bankruptcy. We were ashamed, scared, and feeling pretty helpless. As it became more and more evident we were out of options we tried searching online to find a good lawyer at a reasonable price. We had spent quite some time looking and we had Dorothy highlighted from the start. As we searched our narrowing list of Lawyers we found some cheaper, and some from large firms. We just kept on running across Dorothy and her awesome reviews. We finally reached out to her and set up our first meeting. From that initial moment, all the way until today we are certain that was the best choice we could have made. Dorthy made things simple. Dorothy did not judge us. Dorothy kept us up to date and even reminded us when we had important papers due. For the intimidating meeting with the trustee, Dorothy prepped us, was there with us in the courtroom so we felt at ease the whole time. Bankruptcy was not a simple choice in any way. There are many mountains of paperwork, looming due dates, ever-changing court schedules, but Dorothy guided us through it all and set us back on our feet. Thank you for all you have done for our family Dorothy!”

    “After enduring 7 years of collection letters, phone calls, and a couple of lawsuits by creditors related to my former business, I finally decided to see if a lawyer could help put my past business failure in the past. I initially chose Dorothy Bunce based on the positive reviews that I found online. After our initial consultation, I new Dorothy was the right person to help me navigate through chapter 7 bankruptcy. Dorothy guided me through all of the steps in the process with professionalism and compassion. She responded to my questions in a timely manner (Even if they were irrelevant to the case) and completed the process without any extra or hidden costs. Bankruptcy may not be for everyone, but you should consider Dorothy for every bankruptcy.”

  • Dorothy's list of referrals was the reason I took a chance that she would be the person I needed to talk to.
    Read More

    “When making one of the toughest decisions in my life to file bankruptcy I found myself wondering how do I make a decision on who to hire. Do I go with the flashy television ads and take a chance that I picked the right one, do I ask friends I might know who they used or do I do some research on where to find the right attorney? I decided on the later. In my research I found one attorney that by far stood out in the amount of referrals she had. In my line of work referrals are hard to come by so I know what it takes to get even a happy customer to take the time to same something nice about you. Dorothy's list of referrals was the reason I took a chance that she would be the person I needed to talk to. I will be honest and tell you that I was a little put off by her office at first, but it was not her office I was interested in it was her expertise. Dorothy took the time to put my wife and I at ease about the process we were about to go through. She took the time to explain the different processes and why what she did may or may not work for us. She also pulled no punches in letting us know we created the problem and there are consequences for where we were at financially. We decided to hire Dorothy as our attorney and found her to be every bit of what she said she would be for us. The process flowed exactly as she explained, we followed all her instructions and found the whole thing to be about as painless as a bankruptcy could be. I highly recommend Dorothy G Bunce at A Fresh Start for your Chapter 7 bankruptcy needs. Take the time to meet her and find out that she knows how to help you navigate a very difficult financial situation.”

My case was filed as a BK-13 then converted to a BK-7. I just got my discharge.... yep...ALL DONE because of Dorothy. Don't go with some attorney that is just selling you on a pitch..Dorothy gets results!!”

    “Dorothy assisted me in 2009 during a not so great time in my life. She made the process seamless and alleviated a tremendous amount of concerns I had making the entire event less overwhelming. I have not had contact with her in almost 6 years. I had to reach out to her recently with a question regarding my case. I needed documents and had a few questions. Assuming she would not remember me I went through the script of refreshing her memory. I dreaded having to explain the situation and even be directed to the court for what I needed. I was pleasantly surprised that she remembered me as soon as I said my name. I am in customer service/sales and I have a difficult time remembering people I helped 6 months ago but she remembered me from 6 years ago! I find it highly impressive that an individual of her title, and all of the people she has assisted, remembered me! Not only that, she was incredibly helpful and responded in a timely manner as she indicated she would. I know I am not her only client but she made me feel as though I was. Thank you Dorothy!!”

She is also a very compassionate woman, which is extremely helpful in a lawyer.

    “I called many bankruptcy attorneys to see if someone could file a bankruptcy to stop our foreclosure sale. Yes, it was at the last minute, the day before the sale. Dorothy Bunce at A Fresh Start returned my call promptly, while none of the other lawyers bothered to call me back. Dorothy said she could stop the foreclosure sale but warned us that because there was no time to carefully prepare our case, I would have to understand that she would to "a good job" and that she would have to clean up any problems down the road. Because I was desperate for some help, I took the chance. I have no idea what this attorney meant by saying she would only be able to do "a crappy job." Everything Dorothy did was meticulous and when we went to court, there was no problem at all with our bankruptcy. I will take the good job Dorothy does over any other attorney’s work any day.”

  • Ms. Bunce did a stellar job throughout the whole process and I continue to be impressed with her.
    Read More

    “After getting myself in deep financial trouble and enduring countless sleepless nights, I finally threw in the towel and decided bankruptcy was probably my only workable option. First I purchased a thick book about how to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy without an attorney. I read it cover to cover twice. Then I searched online to see what others have experienced. Through reading on this website and many others, I concluded that going it alone is rarely a good idea. So being a frugal guy at heart plus having very limited funds available, I next researched the concept of hiring someone at a deeply discounted rate. Again, after hours of reading other people's experiences, I concluded that one generally gets what one pays for when seeking legal help. Please read for yourself some of the horror stories posted online by people who hired the cheapest price law firm. Due to the excellent reviews, I found for Dorothy Bunce, I decided to call for the free consultation. After fully explaining my financial nightmare, she agreed that Chapter 7 bankruptcy was the best option for me. Much to my surprise, there were no high-pressure sales pitches or pressure to sign immediately. I was most impressed with the way Ms. Bunce conducts herself and, after a few more days of fretting, I had confidence that retaining her would be a good decision. She has handled thousands of bankruptcies in her 30+ years experience. I am now so relieved that my choice was the correct one. Ms. Bunce did a stellar job throughout the whole process and I continue to be impressed with her. I am grateful for her help. I am glad to say that everything went smoothly and I now have my discharge. Can't argue with success!”

  • She literally saved my life.

    “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.”

    “I went to see a big name bankruptcy attorney after my Wife wasn't able to remember the last name of her attorney Dorothy. After being really disappointed with the big guy, I had my wife do a little digging and she found the name & phone number for Dorothy Bunce at A Fresh Start. What a difference it makes to see the right person. Dorothy explained how I could easily settle my debts myself for pennies on the dollar, which debts to pay first and which ones to ignore, and even printed out two articles she had written that helped me out. And she didn't charge us a penny for this advice. There really are some nice lawyers in the world and Dorothy Bunce is one in a million.”

    “I came into A Fresh Start Law for a bankruptcy consultation feeling like I was a worthless sorry excuse of a man. After meeting attorney Dorothy Bunce I was laughing at my own problems after imagining the debtor collector's rage at finding out I had filed bankruptcy and that they would have to stop harassing me. For the first time in so long I can't remember, I had a good nights sleep where I didn't wake up worrying about my bills.”

    “I consulted with Dorothy Bunce after a friend told me I needed to hear the truth and that his attorney was someone who wouldn't lie to me. Boy, did he get that right! While Ms. Bunce was polite and soft-spoken, she took the truth and slapped me upside the head with it. I have taken her suggestions about how to get my life back together and it is a relief to know I am finally headed in the right direction. No wonder this office is called "a fresh start" because Attorney Bunce shows you the way to get a second chance from the mistakes you made.”

  • You will NOT regret hiring Dorothy.

    “Needing to file a chapter 7 I located an attorney, paid the fees and was told about 6 months later (after rarely being able to get a hold of her) that she couldn't help me. She also kept almost a third of the fees for work she said she did. I found Dorothy Bunce just searching the net. I filled out a form online stating I was interested in her services and within an hour she had called me. That responsiveness surprised me but that's what she does. She responds. My case was a little more complicated than some but she took the case, walked me through it, answered every question patiently and thoroughly and made it happen within 4 months of my contacting her. AND it cost less than half of what I had paid for the previous attorney that had no idea how to do a less than simple bankruptcy. Dorothy Bunce is absolutely the best at what she does! No fancy ads, not trying to get rich off every customer, no games, just honest, caring, QUALITY legal work. You will NOT regret hiring Dorothy. Thank you, Dorothy, for all you've done for me and my family!”

Most importantly, her advice was direct, understandable, and action-oriented, all of which is much more rare than I would have thought. I give my highest recommendation to Dorothy.”

    “I have worked in the legal field in the State of Nevada for about 18 years. I know a lot of attorney's here in Nevada. I unfortunately ran into a bad marriage & my ex-husband ran me through the coals. I lost my home, job and everything I owned. So I needed an attorney I could really trust and I called Dorothy Bunce. Dorothy accommodated me to meet her on a weekend which with my schedule was the only time that I would have been able to meet. As soon as I met Dorothy I knew that this is the attorney I wanted to back me up, she was very understanding and took the time to explain and accommodate my understanding of what was going to take place. I felt secure in my decision and hired her to complete my Bankruptcy. The process was amazing I did not stress, Dorothy allowed the process to be easy and less stressful. All I can say is thanks, Dorothy and I will refer everyone that is in a bad financial situation to you.”

    “After meeting with two "TV Star" legal firms, being rushed in and rushed out, spoken AT rather than WITH, and getting two entirely different and somewhat conflicting, and quite confusing points of view; it seemed that they just threw information at us, hustled us along, and we were left with more questions than when we started. We decided to seek the help of a different Attorney. We found Ms. Bunce through an internet search, and are so very glad we did. Dorothy met with us in a very timely fashion and her manner put us at ease from the outset. She listened patiently to our sometimes meandering narrative of our situation, asked pertinent questions for clarification, and explained things to us in a way we could understand and made sure that we did. We feel she has helped set us on the path we need to follow; when we left her office, we were already working out a plan, and we will certainly seek her help again when we need to. Our seven year old Grand-daughter sometimes uses a phrase; it might seem a bit frivolous or perhaps trite, but in this instance, it is most heartfelt, and quite appropriate: "Good Job!" Thank you, Dorothy.”

    “I have been fighting with the IRS for over 10 years, in regard to 3 Federal tax liens totaling over $450,000 from tax years, 1997,1998 & 2004. Before meeting Dorothy, I spent over $10,000 in legal fees with two tax attorneys, who were not able to get anything done. I also spent years trying to work with the IRS myself and always with the same results...no deal. Needless to say, I had been frustrated and scared by my Government. I was referred to Dorothy Bunce by a very good friend this past July and I am so thrilled and happy to say that Dorothy was able to use her legal expertise to wipe out over 99% of that debt and all I had to pay was $920. Thanks to Dorothy, I have a new lease on life and will highly recommend her to anybody else that finds themselves in trouble.”
