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.

Friendly, Informative, always delivers. Definitely Recommend

The experience with Michael and his team was outstanding. I was referred to him by another Bankruptcy attorney based out of SA and boy was I glad. From the first call into the office on it was such a great experience. They made me feel comfortable and gave me lots of helpful information and never ...made me feel like I was just another number. From beginning to end I was guided along, given support, and never left wondering what was next. This firm is top notch and I absolutely recommend Michael and his team to anyone that needs his services.

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.

If I were to choose one word to describe this process? Easy.

And that is not something usually said when dealing with attorneys or courts, but with Michael Baumer it was. I believe what made the process so easy was the fact that Michael talked me through everything and made everything as easy to understand and do as possible. There wasn't a lot of unnecessary ...paperwork or hassles. I was always made aware of where in the process I was. And with everything from our first meeting to the appearance in court, I felt that Michael was on my side and ready to handle everything, which took a great deal of stress off me. I hope to NEVER go through this process again, but I would absolutely recommend the Law Office of Michael Baumer to anyone who needs his services.

Best Austin Bankruptcy Attorney - Highly Recommend

Our bankruptcy case was not a typical one. My wife and I spoke with Michael and he was able to understand our situation, put us at ease, and walk us through the process. Bankruptcy sucks, there is no easy way to state it. If you must go through the process, then I HIGHLY recommend speaking with Mi...chael. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.
