Professional, Knowledgeable, and Supportive

I am incredibly grateful to Warren Brumel for his exceptional legal representation during my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He was professional and knowledgeable, making a complex process feel manageable. I cannot thank him enough for his guidance and highly recommend his services.

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..

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!

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.
