Recommendation of Michael Baumer
I've met Michael Baumer, and have worked with his knowledgeable staff for over a year now. I was having issues and wanted to only go to an Attorney that I was referred to, not one that I found via the Internet or Phone Book. There are plenty of those to choose from. A friend of mine and her husband h...

Michael Baumer
I hired Michael Baumer to handle my bankruptcy. He did an adequate job. I did not have his entire fee so I offered to let him hold my fathers Rolex as security. He agreed and I began making payments. When I had $800 left to pay, I called his office to let them know that I had the balance and was ...
I represented this person in a Chapter 7 case filed on January 29, 2008. As payment for my fees, he gave me a Rolex watch. The Attorney Disclosure and Statement of Financial Affairs, filed under penalty of perjury, in federal court reflect this agreement. Soon after, this person asked if he could buy back his watch. I told him that if he paid my fee in full within 6 months, I would give him back his watch. It is now 3 years later and he wants to redeem the watch. He did not leave his watch as security for payment; it was the payment for my attorney fees.
"Michael Baumer is an experienced bankruptcy attorney. He is extremely competent and well respected in the legal community. I have referred many clients to Michael over the years and have received all positive feedback. I highly endorse Mr. Baumer."
