Awesome firm and support

Michael and his staff including Melanie and Renee were all AWESOME, very communicative, patient, and helped me with my bankruptcy filing, which was a scary process. Clear explanations of situations, scenarios, etc. before filing that allowed me to position myself perfectly to file. Then very communic...ative and accessible during the pre-file and filing periods until bankruptcy became final. I recommend them to all considering bankruptcy, sign up for the initial consultancy, it is worth it. Especially for those who have businesses involved with their bankruptcy. Can't say enough about this firm!

Best of the Best

The Law Offices of Michael Baumer… should be awarded the Best of the Best when it comes to making you feel ‘normal’. My husband and I were very hesitant about the decision to file and we were worried about the financial repercussions, as we had done everything we could to avoid bankruptcy. I can te...ll you, the experience was exactly as they explained it would be and now we have our life (and sanity) back in check. Michael and his team were great about laying out the next steps, answering all of our questions, responding to every email and voicemail in a timely manner every time I contacted the office. They have the process down to a painless ‘T’ and I can’t tell you how good it felt to have them on our side. This was one of the biggest decisions we have every made and I’m glad we went with Michael and his team!

Highly recommended Law firm

Michael Baumer and his staff were very helpful in this bankruptcy case. All questions and concerns were answered professionally and timely including questions regarding my debt, my car lease and apartment lease etc. Before we arrived in court room Michael was already there, he helped us in court room... and helped in some questions trustee asked, All procedures and legal proceedings were explained clearly. Highly recommended law firm for anyone needing help in Financial/ bankruptcy proceedings. Thank you Michael and his staff.

Glad I had Michael Baumer handle my Bankruptcy

If you are having to consider bankruptcy go see Michael Baumer. No pressure just the facts from an experienced bankruptcy attorney. It takes away the stress to know that you are in really good hands. Thanks so much to Michael, Melanie and Megan for being with me the entire way! They never make y...ou feel silly for asking (sometimes silly) questions and I never doubted for one minute that I had one of the most experienced bankruptcy attorneys in Austin representing me!!!

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. *****
