Great experience made filing for bankruptcy easy

I was extremely depressed and worried about having to file bankruptcy but Michael, Megan, and everyone at the office were extremely helpful and made it a much easier process than I anticipated.... plus the payment plan helped a lot!

Knows his stuff! (And so does his staff.)

Deciding to file bankruptcy is a difficult, heart-wrenching decision. The next tough decision is picking the right lawyer to handle your case. You want one who will be there when all those pesky questions and fears arise, and one that makes sure your case is handled properly. Michael Baumer and hi...s staff were a great decision for us. We appreciated his mellow, laid-back vibe, (one that only comes from years of dealing with tough cases and nervous clients). Also, he teaches BK law to other lawyers at conferences, a decided plus for our slightly more complicated filing. We threw a lot of tough questions his way and he and his staff always had the answer or solution needed. If you are considering bankruptcy, Mr. Baumer is a lawyer we can definitely recommend. He and his staff went above and beyond to address our concerns and to create a workable plan for us.

My bankruptch experience with Michael Baumer

Michael Baumer is an excellent bankruptcy attorney. He was professional in explaining each step of the bankruptcy proceeding. His staff were supportive and answered every question I had with patience and courtesy. He was on time for the proceeding and managed to allay my nervousness while we ...waited. The proceeding was handled quickly and smoothly. My oldest son, who has driven a taxicab in Austin for over 20 years, asked me for my opinion of Mr. Baumer as an attorney, since he is frequently asked by long time riders if he can recommend a local attorney. I unhesitatingly recommend Michael Baumer for any bankruptcy proceeding.

Best bankruptcy attorney to help with a difficult life decision

Michael Baumer gave me excellent advice and took the time to answer all of my questions. His staff was very helpful and kind. Although Mr. Baumer did a good job of letting me know what to expect at bankruptcy court, the court appearance was the hardest part for me. I had never been to court before... in my life and was filled with anxiety. The rest of the process, while difficult, was facilitated nicely by Michael Bauer and his staff.

The Law Office of Michael Baumer - or: Where to go when you need help with your bankruptcy!

What a great experience! ... except for the fact that I had to file bankruptcy; something that I did not want to have to do. If you find yourself in this sort of situation though, I would recommend The Law Office of Michael Baumer. Michael is a very personable person in and of himself. Quite professi...onal and knowledgeable as well. I felt completely at ease with him. That isn't all. I found the whole office there, from the legal secretary to the other lawyers and workers there to be very competent and helpful. I had many questions about filling out my inventory forms and they spent the time to help me understand what was required of me. As I said: If you need help with a bankruptcy, there is one place to go -- for my money it is Michael Baumer and his awesome team!
