Endorsement from a seasoned investor underscores Dern’s reputation for trust and effectiveness.

(PRUnderground) August 29th, 2025

With over 23 years of dedicated service guiding Michiganders toward fresh financial starts, Doug Dern, of the Law Office of Doug Dern in Hartland, is a cornerstone for clients navigating Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings. Known for his personalized, one-on-one service, Dern offers unwavering client support—no call centers, just direct and compassionate legal expertise.

A specialist in both Chapter 7 (liquidation) — enabling clients to eliminate credit card debt, medical bills, and more, often while keeping their home and car through reaffirmation agreements, and Chapter 13 (reorganization), ideal for protecting assets and repaying debts over time, often including cram-downs on secured debt like mobile home payments, Dern’s deep experience ensures clients understand each path and choose the one best suited to their situation.

“Clients appreciate that I treat them like friends, moving their cases forward quickly and affordably,” he says. “That’s the difference a veteran lawyer makes.”

Mark Maupin, founder of the National Real Estate Investors Network, praises Dern’s service: “I’ve relied on Doug for multiple legal matters. His integrity, expertise, and responsiveness make him my first call every time.”  This endorsement from a seasoned investor underscores Dern’s reputation for trust and effectiveness.
