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!

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.

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.

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!
