Posted by Bob | October 15, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Walked me through the whole process.

I knew little about filing for bankruptcy when I was referred to Michael Baumer by a friend at church. His team walked me through the process in a precise manner and everything worked as planned. Their prices are fair and they work remotely.

No integrity

Baumer contracted my case, collected my retainer, put it off for a year, emptied trust with no work completed. I never received a statement of accounting. Emails were sent with confidential information to incorrect email address. Phone calls were never returned. Accounting does not record billing or ...maintain any records. Do not hire this attorney

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.

Service Feedback

The services of Baumer Law was outstanding. We called often and the staff never made us feel like we were burdensome to the firm. Any questions we had were never treated like a dumb question. Your firm diligently followed up with any letters or e-mails concerning new developments for our case.... The receptionist office etiquette was always professional and cheerful whether in person or over the phone. The price of your services were very reasonable compared to other attorneys and the payment plan was blessing to our household. Michael Baumer's expertise, knowledge, and great personality is a winning combination for his clients. We already recommended and sent a couples friends to Baumer Law because we were so impressed with the services. Alvin & Lori

Excellent attorney and staff

I highly recommend Michael and his team. They are extremely competent, professional and kind. He is highly regarded by many in this field. You can trust him to represent your best interests and guide you throughout the entire process. The location is great (Burnet Rd.), easy to park, etc. His fees ar...e affordable and well earned. I asked alot of questions and Melanie, his legal assistant, was always very patient with me and she was extremely responsive (same day). I was embarassed/humiliated to be in the situation I was in (single mom, 3 teens, drowning in a sea of school debt, being taxed out of my property, etc.) and they take care of the situation for you when you really need the help. I'm very grateful to them.
