Peter Behrman talked me out of bankruptcy
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
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
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.

We were fortunate when we chose Peter to assist us with our bankruptcy.

He took the time to understand our situation before presenting our options. We were informed and prepared every step of the way.

He is the nicest guy and super smart along with very honest
we went in to consult for a bankruptcy ...he was very honest in that we did not need to file...he gave us advice and recommended another plan. He was excellent!
Response from Peter Behrmann July 12, 2017
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!
Response from Peter Behrmann July 12, 2017
Recovering from bankruptcy and buying a new home within a few years is a story that countless clients have called to tell me about. One of the quickest ways to improve your credit it to rid yourself from your debt!

Top Notch Service
Peter and staff are amazing to deal with during such a difficult time. I had never been through anything like this before and the staff made me feel so comfortable during the process. Anytime I had a question about anything, I received an answer easy to understand. Most questions were asked by email and the response time was incredible. I was referred to Phoenix by a friend and I was so glad I was. I could not imagine using another office.
