Recommendation of Michael Baumer

I've met Michael Baumer, and have worked with his knowledgeable staff for over a year now. I was having issues and wanted to only go to an Attorney that I was referred to, not one that I found via the Internet or Phone Book. There are plenty of those to choose from. A friend of mine and her husband h...ad great things to say about Michael's firm. So I set up a meeting, liked what I heard and saw, and he advised me as to the best path to follow. If not for Michael and his staff I would be drowning under water. Thankfully I'm above water and my situation has improved. I recommend Michael's firm.

Professional, helpful and trustworthy!

I was referred to the Baumer law firm by another attorney in Austin who deals with bankruptcy lawyers and who I've known for over 8 years and so I trusted her judgment. They were very pleasing to work with, knowledgeable and trustworthy! They helped us through a difficult time and made things alot e...asier than we would have expected. I was very pleased with their firm and would recommend them to anyone.

Professional, Efficient, Personable

Very intimidated to have to go through this process. Michael and his staff made me feel comfortable, answered my questions and gave me the sense that the filing would proceed exactly as the law required. I was referred by a trusted friend and business law attorney and felt if my friend would refer ...Michael, I could trust Michael as well. I was not disappointed. I plan to never need this kind of help again, but if you do, I highly recommend Michael, Megan, and their staff!

Michael Baumer

I hired Michael Baumer to handle my bankruptcy. He did an adequate job. I did not have his entire fee so I offered to let him hold my fathers Rolex as security. He agreed and I began making payments. When I had $800 left to pay, I called his office to let them know that I had the balance and was ...ready to pick up my watch and pay off my bill. I was ignored and then got a letter from his office telling me that he was keeping the watch for non-payment. I faxed his office copies of paid receipts and asked him to reconsider. He would not and has completely ignored me. Now I've paid him $1,700.00 plus a Rolex worth $3,000.00. That was my experience with this guy. To get this review published I have to refrain from using the language that would go more to the point of what I think of him. There are plenty of lawyers, why take a chance with one you can't trust.

Replied last March 15, 2011

I represented this person in a Chapter 7 case filed on January 29, 2008. As payment for my fees, he gave me a Rolex watch. The Attorney Disclosure and Statement of Financial Affairs, filed under penalty of perjury, in federal court reflect this agreement. Soon after, this person asked if he could buy back his watch. I told him that if he paid my fee in full within 6 months, I would give him back his watch. It is now 3 years later and he wants to redeem the watch. He did not leave his watch as security for payment; it was the payment for my attorney fees.
