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

Excellent Bankruptcy Attorney

Mr. Brumel and his staff made the uncomfortable, difficult situation I found myself in easy to understand and navigate. He explained the options in my bankruptcy filing, and helped me make the right choice for me. I was fully prepared for my hearing.

You owe it to yourself to be represented by Warren Brumel

I had a stroke that left me with a serious brain injury including lesions that affect my memory and my ability to focus on day-to-day matters that I took for granted my whole life. I was self-employed. Because of my medical condition I lost work and became overwhelmed with debt that snowballed into ...a catastrophic financial nightmare including foreclosure of my home, medical bills because I had no insurance, and failure to pay “parent plus loans” for my daughter’s college tuition. One of my attorney friends referred me to Warren and said he has an excellent reputation for helping people. Now, five months later my financial nightmare has been dealt with by this good man, this good attorney, Warren Brumel. Chapter 7 took care of my basic debt, medical bills, and foreclosure of my house. Prior to meeting with Warren, I never considered filing for Social Security Disability. It was my understanding that short of paying the “Parent Plus Loans” off, I would be paying the loans until I died or won a lottery. I never realized that the effects of my brain injury may actually qualify me for Social Security Disability – one of the very few ways to discharge a “Parent Plus Loan”. None of my lawyer friends ever suggested that to me. Nothing I found on the internet ever got that “exception” across to me. I know I am not a doctor, but I am very confident that the medical records of my brain injury will qualify me for Social Security Disability. To my surprise, Warren gives all of his clients several handouts to take home to read. These handouts clearly helped me understand and remember what he needed me to know. I am thoroughly satisfied with Warren’s advice and representation. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering bankruptcy. His demeanor is down-to-earth. He is an excellent listener who was able to sort out my financial issues and to simplify what I thought was complex. I want to thank Warren's secretary, Jaci for always being helpful. You owe it to yourself to make an appointment to review your financial issues with Warren.

The Best!!!

Warren and his team took care of our Ch.7 about 5 years ago... From the initial consultation through the discharge he made us feel comfortable, well informed and confident we were in good hands. The process went exactly as he described and we were able to start fresh.Recently Warren helped us to quic...kly resolve a matter with a creditor that posted late's to the credit bureaus for a major account included in the discharge. Without Warren's assistance and tenacity in resolving the matter we would still be caught in limbo with the creditor. Thank you and Jaci for all of your help!
