Aaron A. Wernick

Aaron Wernick represented our company in a Ch 11 restructuring and having never been through one before, we were very intimidated. Aaron handled it all for us from beginning to end and explained everything to us along the way which helped us understand exactly what was happening and why. In the end, he negotiated an amazing deal the eliminated 95% of our debt. We would highly recommend him to anyone considering filing either chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Mr Warnick is an exceptional attorney, very thorough and compassionate. Extremely client focused and detailed . He handled our case with great professionalism and got us the results we were looking for ! Highly recommended him .

Aaron was very helpful and dedicated to my case. Very good communicator and always kept me informed of the status of my case. I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney Aaron Wernick and his awesome paralegal Coleen C. Workinger, CLA. Great Team!

Aaron is the best attorney I have ever worked with. Period. I was involved in a complicated case that was both emotionally and financially draining. Aaron helped me through the most difficult period in my life, and I ended up in a situation much better than expected. I am very grateful for his service. Aaron is a very insightful and experienced attorney with lots court experience. It’s easy to see the judges and other attorneys respect his opinions immensely. He can grasp the key points of a case quickly and take swift actions to deliver results. Aaron also has great customer service. He is an excellent listener and always has the patience to listen to my side of the facts and make sure he understands my needs and feelings completely. He has great communication skills that bring all sides together and reach settlement quickly. Aaron is my go-to person whenever I have legal questions, even though I know his specialty is in bankruptcy law. I know he will guide me in the right direction and help me in whichever way he can. As a business person, I feel lucky to have such an attorney at my side at all times. I recommend Aaron to anyone who is looking for an attorney. Last but not least, Aaron’s fees are very reasonable! I have worked with much less competent attorneys that charge higher fees. Aaron’s service is worth every penny he charges.

As a General Counsel of a bankruptcy creditor, it was imperative to hire an experienced bankruptcy attorney who was aggressive, yet sensitive to the practical corporate needs of his client. Aaron did both while also having to quickly learn about our business. Moreover, there were no surprises. Aaron and his firm properly managed the legal fees and costs of the bankruptcy case and anticipated each stage of the bankruptcy case. As a result, I was able to provide meaningful status updates to my client regarding the legal budget and potential outcomes. Aaron leveraged the strengths in our case to reach an acceptable settlement. I strongly recommend Aaron as bankruptcy counsel.

As a result of IRS levies and a wage garnishment, when I arrived at Aaron Wernick’s office in January 2016, I had a meager $42 in the bank and a disposable monthly income of $1,500 per month (the legal maximum per IRS formulas/rules). The IRS and I were in a 5 year intense and unresolved 7 figure tax dispute. My accountant of 30 years could not get the matter resolved. The IRS wage garnishment forced me to file a Chapter 11 in order to once again access my income and to clean up a financial mess. My background is accounting and financial services, yet I managed to screw things up - embarrassing. I also was a frequent consumer of legal services - both as a plaintiff and a defendant. I knew the key to a successful outcome would be to find the best attorney, within the best firm in the Southern District of Florida - an attorney who specializes in representing individual debtors, not large creditors…an attorney who is respected and trusted by the local judges in the Court hearing my case…an attorney who graduated from top shelf schools…an attorney with extensive knowledge, training and in court experience…an attorney who would listen to my concerns, returns phone calls and respond to email communications on a timely basis….an attorney who has answers when challenged by his client…an attorney who cares about not just his case filed, but about the individuals and families involved in the very complex Chapter 11 legal process…. That attorney in Southern District of Florida is Aaron Wernick Guess how I knew Aaron was the best before I even met with him? I had a 2 hour meeting with 4 managers on the 44th floor of a top shelf Miami accounting firm (100 plus CPA’s) explaining my circumstances. At the end of the meeting one of the partners said: “We would love to represent you, but some of our big clients (creditors) would be very upset - you appear to owe them considerable sums of money. We are conflicted!” I thanked them for their time and then asked if they knew of a good individual debtor’s attorney. They replied: “Well we almost always win our cases, but there is this guy named Aaron Wernick with Furr & Cohen up in Boca Raton that is pretty good.” Pretty good?!!...That’s all I needed to hear! Aaron and I worked together every week for 2 years on my case. He did a beyond outstanding job. Aaron definitely has all the positive characteristics outlined in the other reviews on this website. (I read them all). I would like to add what I believe to be one of Aaron’s best qualities (among many) is his ability to put himself into the other person’s shoes in a negotiation. By listening to and finding out what creates a win for the other side, Aaron manages client expectations and structures a reasonable win for both sides. Suggestion: Rather than asking a buddy who knows a lawyer (one who likely does not specialize in Chapter 11 filings), or performing endless google searches trying to find one, why not re-read what you just read and call Aaron Wernick!

Aaron help us through this very difficult time with honest and sound advice. He work tirelessly to ensure the best outcome for us. We were on the verge of losing everything and now, 18 months later, our business is stronger than ever. I could not be more grateful! I would gladly refer anyone in a similar situation to Aaron!

Aaron Wernick is an exceptional lawyer. He possesses a rare combination of legal expertise and practical business sense. He took a holistic view of our issues and helped us reach an outstanding outcome through his analysis of the law and business considerations. In addition, Aaron was responsive at late hours and weekends and very giving of his time on short notice. We highly recommend Aaron Wernick for his insight, skill, and dedication.

At a difficult time, in need of a powerful yet understanding legal and personal Counselor, my wife and I were fortunate to be introduced to Aaron Wernick, esq. He worked with us for many months as we unwound some business and personal issues. Once completed we were in a far better position than prior to knowing this excellent attorney who also became a dear friend. We would recommend him, his legal expertise and his firm to anyone requiring professional assistance.

Going to my first meeting apprehensive, nervous, scared and full of angst. From first hiring of Aaron Wernick to the final 'Order of Discharge' Arron kept me calm and focused on the 'job' ahead. Firm when necessary dealing with creditors. Always took the time to illustrate and interpret my responsibilities and commitments. A real winner in his field!

I’ve hired Aaron on multiple cases . We handle various loans nationwide and he is our go to lawyer . He is quick to respond , creative and efficient. Our cases are typically very complex and require an amount of knowledge most bk lawyers we’ve interviewed don’t have . He understands the nuances of complex cases and excutes settlements effectively.

I have worked with Mr. Wernick who assisted my primary attorney outside of the field of his expertise - bankruptcy. He suggested a path that at the end was more then successful. His kindness and patience work hand in hand with deep knowledge of his profession.

Aaron A. Wernick is a caring, compassionate, highly knowledgeable and proactive attorney. He took his time, on each occasion that we spoke, to explain all of the procedures for bankruptcy. He was extremely patient with me, as it was a very emotional time. Each phone call kept me up to date and calmed me. It turned out to be a very good business decision and the outcome was better than we had both estimated. I highly recommend Aaron A. Wernick, as a man with integrity, kindness and a guiding spirit, who took charge, while guiding me through such a huge financial decision.

In the very complex world of Bankruptcy Laws, Aaron is part of a very elite class of Bankruptcy lawyers and stands far above any of his peers. He has the perfect temperament to closely listen to his clients and fully understand their financial problems before formulating a strategy that has the best chance to get his client favorable end results. Being a Real Estate Developer with numerous projects during the past economic recession, it seemed that there was no possible solution to survive this devastating event in both in my business and personally. After using various Bankruptcy attorneys for filing a Chapter 11 on my projects, it became very evident that the only one benefiting financially from my struggles were the attorneys. It seemed like a process that had no foreseeable end along with being very costly to find this out. Referred to Aaron by my litigation attorney, there was immediately a change in how these matters were approached with Aaron taking into consideration all the intricate aspects of the case. He came up with realistic strategies based on his experience and very in depth knowledge of the Bankruptcy Laws. Implementing these plans takes not only legal articulation but being able to deal with the Bankruptcy Judges in their courtrooms. A large part of Aaron's success is that he has the utmost respect from not only the Bankruptcy Judges but also the trustees. They trust his legal briefs are representative of the laws, his statements about his clients are straight forward along with being honest, and his courtroom demeanor is unmatched. Aaron is fair, honest, reliable, and no matter how busy he is or the magnitude of his other cases, he makes you feel like you are his most important client. He has surrounded himself with partners and staff that mirror his professionalism. If you are in a position that you need the services of a Bankruptcy lawyer, you will not find a better one than Aaron Wernick.

Aaron came highly recommended from a very trusted lawyer and friend, and I'm pleased to say he was everything we had hoped for. He was engaged and honest from the very beginning, and he was always punctual and available when we needed him. Our company has benefited greatly from his guidance and tireless advocacy, and I would recommend him to anyone.
