Excellent communication

Brian was a pleasure to work with. He answered any question I had and promptly responded to my emails. He advised me on all possible outcomes of my case which really put my mind at ease. Up front and no beating around the bush, he made my experience the best it could be. Thank you again for your tale...nts Brian!

Great at what he does

Brian has been a great help and very informative with me filing bankruptcy. He has kept me updated on all changes and has never left me wondering. I would definitely recommend him.

Well experienced, trustworthy, and dedicated

I would have to say "the thought of filing for bankruptcy has always been a HUGE fear for me," but working with Brian has made this process pretty easy as can be! He's professional, well educated, has great patience and most importantly affordable. He's even customized a plan that would fit my budget.... He's so personable that I truly felt important to his firm, like he dedicated his time making sure I was out of debt; and not just after my money. He has provided me with unlimited knowledge on budgeting and how going through the process can actually benefit me! I would recommend anyone who is in NEED of a fresh start! Thank you Brian.

Brian P. Deshur's Review

Brian Deshur is the truth when it comes to knowing what needs to be done when filing Bankruptcy. I went to file a chapter 13 alone and after reviewing my information he assured me that my wife and I needed to file together. This has tremendously helped our current situation to getting back in track a...fter being without a job part of 2016. I found Brian to be very organized and responsive wether contacted by phone or email. He even had his assistant contact me back when he was on vacation to answer a question. We quickly referred others to him that we're in similar situations and assured them that Brian will get the job done. I have had different experiences with law attorneys for different reasons, but Brian has been the best with his knowledge and consulting thus far.
