About Christopher

Experienced Bankruptcy Attorney. Friendly and Understanding.

Before entering the legal field, Chris Wesner worked in the healthcare field as a physical therapist for 18 years. During this time he witnessed firsthand the pain and suffering — both physical and financial — of personal injury victims and their families. As the director of rehabilitation in nursing homes, he saw the effects of neglect and the impact it has on patients and their families. It was his experience in the medical field that propelled Chris into his legal career, and he maintains his physical therapy license today.

As an attorney, Chris continues to act as an advocate for the people who come to him seeking help. His compassionate support of clients is balanced by the tenacious representation he provides as well as the personal attention he devotes to every case.

Don’t go through your legal issues alone. Chris Wesner Law Office offers experience and respected  legal counsel to clients throughout Ohio’s Miami Valley in matters involving:

  • Bankruptcy
  • Chapter 7
  • Chapter 13
  • Criminal defense

Review Christopher Wesner

Great Bankruptcy Attorney

Posted by

Mr. Wesner met with me and explained everything in great detail. He was not judgmental and made me feel at ease. He explained how the process worked and what type I would qualify for. Overall an excellent experience.

Great lawyer.

Not sure what happened to a couple of these reviewers, but Chris has handled my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case very professionally. He is always polite and answered all questions/emails promptly. Will recommend and use again if God forbid I ever need it again.

Honest Attorney

Posted by

I met with Chris, on March 1st, to discuss bankruptcy. And Chris showed me my debt balance, and I realized that I was to far in debt and that I needed to take action. Chris was honest and blunt but in a nice way and told me what I needed to do and i am going to follow his advice.

Looking for a trusworthy, honest, humble lawyer? Give Mr. Wesner a call

Posted by

I contacted Attorney Wesner to ask for a second opinion on a foreclosure case I have against someone in my property. Mr. Wesner not only explained to me what my attorney failed to let me know, but he was also able to let me know the solution for my case. I would recommend this lawyer to any of my friends for his honesty and humility. I felt I was talking to a friend not someone with a high rank. Thanks to Mr. Wesner I am able to sleep at night knowing the answer to my questions.

Mr. Wesner was the BEST

Posted by

Mr. Wesner was the best. I used him to handle my bankruptcy because my COMPLEX problem seemed overwhelming to the other attorney I spoke with. He was knowlegable and understanding. I plan on using him in another matter. Gave me peace of mind when I needed it most.

Great Attorney, Highly Recommended

Posted by

Mr. Wesner handled everything. Informed me of the process from start to finish. He explained how everything would be handled and gave me a price UP FRONT! Guess what, he stuck to it. He gave me a free first meeting and told me that he would work with me on a payment plan. Most of all, he was nice and easy to work with. Yes, he had me do a bunch of paperwork, but he always helped me along the way. Highly recommended.

Great Attorney

Gave me peace of mind. Super knowledgable about bankruptcy and money matters in general. Investigated my case THOROUGHLY and told me just what I needed to do. Stayed way after regular hours to meet with me. VERY nice. Staff was very nice as well. If you are even considering bankruptcy call this attorney first. You will be glad you did. I met with him for free and set up a payment plan once I decided to file. Easy to talk to, puts you at ease right away. Can't say enough.

If you really need a lawyer, for anything, this is the one to hire!!!

As part of the law enforcement community for the past 19 years, I have worked with, for, and against more lawyers than I'd like to remember, but when I recently found myself needing a lawyer, I was unbelievably impressed with Mr. Wesner. I have never in 19 years watched a more intelligent lawyer work his majic in a court room. I can't give enough praise or thanks to the work that he performed for me. I have recommended him to anyone and everyone. Criminal or non-criminal cases, he's your man!
