With over 35 years of dedicated experience in Bankruptcy and Debt law, attorney Dorothy Bunce brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to every client she helps. Her comprehensive knowledge and proven track record have guided countless Nevada residents toward a new financial beginning.
Dorothy earned her law degree from the University of Puget Sound School of Law in Tacoma, Washington, graduating in 1978. Later that year, she proudly passed the Nevada State Bar and immediately opened her own private practice.
In 1989, Dorothy’s husband passed away, leaving behind medical debt that forced her to file for Bankruptcy herself. This life-changing event gave her unique insight into the stress, fear, and uncertainty her clients face.
Because she’s been in your shoes, Dorothy knows:
The sleepless nights that debt can cause.
The pressure financial struggles place on family life.
The impact on health and well-being.
The way money problems affect your career.
The importance of planning for a secure future.
Her personal journey fuels her commitment to helping others achieve a fresh financial start with compassion and guidance.
At home, Dorothy lives with her partner, Joe, a former investment advisor, and her Papillons, Cody-Coyote and Butters, as well as her Burmese kitty, Coco.
Joe sustained a traumatic brain injury, which left him unable to find his way around. However, like a good Coyote, Cody knows his way home and assists Joe. Joe still possesses a remarkable understanding of financial systems and their impact on people’s lives.
As the new dog in the house, Butters is still shy about acting as a leader and worries about taking on the responsibility of caring for Joe. Butters is a sweet lapdog who loves being cuddled.
Coco came into our lives as a scaredy cat. During her first few months in our home, she would often hide in the closet. Getting her a kitty tower helped make her more confident, and she now bullies the dogs as she feels is necessary.
