An attorney that cares...

I was extremely nervous and embarrassed having to go through a Chapter 7 as a last resort. Mr. Brumel eased all my second thoughts. His insight and professionalism showed in all of our meetings. His warm and caring nature helped me through this rough patch and has put me on the road to recovery..

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Case

Mr. Brumel and Jaci O'Brien did a phenomenal job with my case. They responded to all questions quickly and accurately. He was able to secure an even better payment plan, over a shorter period of time than he initially projected and most importantly, he was very understanding of my situation and did ...a great job of managing my expectations and assuring me that everything would be fine during a very stressful time in my life. I highly recommend Warren Brumel and his staff.

Chapter 13 journey!

My journey through a chapter 13 was at first scary and nerve racking being a single woman experiencing this alone. However, Mr Brumel was there for me every step of the way. For instance, over the course of five years, there were different concerns that would pop up randomly. which is to be exp...ected in a 60-month time frame...anything is liable to happen. Yet, Mr Brumel and his staff made time to assist me in any manner even if it meant after his office hours via email or by phone at times. During the years I listened to his guidance and followed his direction, as he was willing to hear my concerns and work toward the best resolution that would work for me. Not to mention the challenging situations whereby I thought nothing would work and low and behold Mr Brumel would figure out something to manage the issue. Mr Brumel is very knowledgeable as well as professional. Additionally, he never made me feel like I was just another client with a nagging chapter 13. In fact, over the years I have learned a great deal from him, due to his willingness to give an explanation and provide clarity if I did not understand something. On a personal note, I have been in the customer service industry for many years and it is this type of service that I have welcomed and recommend to anyone. In saying that, the most admirable take away from my experience with Mr Brumel, is that he truly loves and enjoys what he does in the bankruptcy world while helping individuals re-establish their financial health and it shows through his efforts that he gives to his clients. I appreciate and thank you and your staff Mr Brumel, for your sincere help and support during the past five years...and now my chapter has come to a close :) Tina

The man who saved my life!

In the last four years I was forced to deal with more lawyers that I ever imagined i would in my life. I was disappointed and felt like I was just a dollar sign to all of them. When I came to Mr. Brumel I expected the same treatment but I was surprised to find him just the opposite. He was honest, ...trustworthy, knowledgable, strong in character, and caring. It was the first time in years I began to really believe that I will be ok. I can't thank him enough for everything he's done for me and my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
