Review Peter Behrmann

Exceptionally accomodating, instructive, helpful, caring and considerate.

Posted by

Peter has been very helpful and informative. I am very fortunate to have his help and guidance. I know that whomever he works with will experience the same. He is knowledgable and extremely consciencetious. He explains procedure and the timeframe exactly. I feel very comfortable with him in my corner and appreciate his attention to detail and caring manner.

Peter Behrmann & his staff are knowledgeable, personal & comforting!

After my wages were garnished for condo association dues on a condo I co-signed for with my son (who had previously filed bankruptcy) I called Peter, who was recommended to me. I called his office assistant, Monique and she got me in for an appointment that day. Peter calmed me down and said he can help me get through this. I gathered all my information and had it back to him the next day and Peter filed it immediately. Whenever I called with questions, Peter always took my calls. Peter & Monique kept me informed on exactly what was going on with my case and gave me detailed information about it.

Peter Behrman talked me out of bankruptcy

Posted by

With my free consultation Peter talked me through a difficult situation in which I didn't know whether to file for bankruptcy and he advised me not to. His consultation was very helpful and steered me in right direction of how to handle my affairs.

Professional, Honest, Knowledgeable and Caring

Posted by

Approximately 3 years ago I found myself in a situation that many find themselves in. I owed more than I made and did not know which way to turn. I consider myself fortunate to this day that the turn I made led me to Phoenix Law. I felt like a complete failure, but on my first appointment Peter gave me his recommendations and handled my problems knowledgeably and professionally, but without judgement or blame. Peter is extremely knowledgeable and conscientious. He explains what the procedures and the time frame involved will be exactly. Not once during this process did I feel uninformed about what the next step would be. And the financial relief I felt was almost immediate after my first appointment. His response to any questions you have or anything you need throughout the entire bankruptcy was always immediate. If you find yourself in this situation as well, look no further than Phoenix Law. You will never regret making the decision to use Peter Behrmann. You can find no one better. Thank you, Peter, for everything you did and all the assistance you gave me. You have made my life so much better.

Very good experience

Posted by

I hired Peter in 2016 to file chapter 13. bankruptcy. He is professional and knowledgeable and gave me excellent advice and service. I had several questions over the last 4 years regarding my case and he always responded to my messages within a day. Filing bankruptcy is not the most pleasant experience but Phoenix Law made it relatively painless from start to finish. I am discharged from my case and on the way to building my credit again thanks to them.

Knowledgeable and responsive

We were fortunate when we chose Peter to assist us with our bankruptcy. When we walked into his office for the first time, I felt like a failure, but he was able to help plot our best course of action without judgment or blame. He took the time to understand our situation before presenting our options. We were informed and prepared every step of the way.

Peter Behrmann's response: People are always concerned that their bankruptcy attorney will sell them on a bankruptcy. This has never been my practice. If you need to file bankruptcy, I will help you file. If I don’t think you should file bankruptcy, I will tell you that. I provide a complementary consultation where I will advise you on what I believe your best course of action is. If that course does not include filing for bankruptcy, I will gladly give you that advice. I wish you the best of luck, and I am glad that I was able to help you out, even without doing a bankruptcy.

Professional and personable

He got me a fresh start and enabled me to buy my first home just 3 years after filing ch 7. He went above and beyond to take care of my needs!
