This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Easy to understand and patient with questions

Needed help with estate questions and he was very upfront and explained the legal process and currently still going thru estate stuff. Much easier when you have a great lawyer that puts things in professional and easy terms to understand. Stress free.

Forclosure Mediation

I was in the process of losing my home to foreclosure and was referred to Atty. Woermer by my colleague. I did not understand the process and was not sure that I could even retain the property. Atty. Woermer reviewed my paperwork and helped me understand ALL of my options. He knew that my desire was... to keep my home. With that he helped me devise a plan. That plan started two years ago. I am happy to say that I am still living in my home with my two children. I was able to keep my children in the school system that they have grown to love. Atty. Woermer was excellent with helping me forecast a financial plan that fit in my budget. I have put Great Trust in Atty. Woermer's advice and his recommendations and am very glad that I have. I would recommend him highly whether you plan on keeping your home or letting it go. He can direct you on the right path for your financial future.

Great results

I used attorney woermer for mortgage modification. He kept me informed and helped me pull out of foreclosure. I was very pleased by their followup and persistence!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
