Michael Baumer - Best Bankruptcy Attorney in Austin TX

We did everything in our power to avoid filing bankruptcy, but inevitably we had no choice. Luckily we ended up at the Law Office of Michael Baumer. It’s good to know there are attorney’s out there who truly have the knowledge and experience to make the process painless. Michael’s staff hand held my ...wife and I throughout the process and kept us abreast at every turn. If you are ever considering filing, you would be foolish not to contact the Law Office of Michael Baumer to advise and guide you through this difficult time.

Excellent team of attorneys

My experience with Michael Baumer and his colleagues was outstanding. I was in so much debt, living paycheck to paycheck before i decided that it was time to start fresh. Their team was always courteous and always there to answer my questions. They made the entire bankruptcy process very easy and th...ey made me feel like everything was going to be alright. The bankruptcy filing process takes a little while to complete but the minute I set up for a free consultation with Mr. Baumer, I was already on my way to bettering my life and the stress was lifted off my shoulders for a change. Michael's team have lots of experience with big and small cases like mine and very reasonable prices. You can trust them to get the job done and guide you along the way if you have any concerns. I am very grateful for their help and would recommend them to anyone needing help with filing for bankruptcy.

Outstanding Law Firm

I had the good fortune to be referred to Mr Baumer. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in his profession. His staff was amazing! We trusted Mr Baumer right from the beginning, and throughout the whole procedure, we were treated with the utmost respect and courtesy, with all questions an...d concerns handled in a timely manner, without delay. I highly recommend Mr. Baumer and his Law Firm.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

My wife and I went to the Baumer Law office when our mortgage company attempted to foreclose on us 4 years ago. The day we had to appear before the judge and trustee it became very clear that having a great attorney who was well prepared got the process off to a good start. We saw many other folks wh...o showed up and weren’t prepared and had to reappear in the future to complete the initial process. We continued to have problems with the mortgage company and their accounting throughout our journey and during our process the mortgage company filed for bankruptcy and sold our loan. The staff were great to work with throughout and made it much easier to successfully complete our Chapter 13 plan. I would recommend Michael Baumer and his staff to anyone who is having financial difficulty and needs help with creditors. *****

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.
