The process of moving through a bankruptcy is difficult and scary enough for most, and while declaring bankruptcy should be a last resort, and one to be taken very seriously, the counsel you choose to aide you in navigating through this life changing event should be more than competent enough to guid...e you through what can be very murky waters and also instill confidence and hope of a new day once you have completed the journey. That feeling of competence, confidence, and a new beginning can truly make the difference. I am a professional, a business owner, and it was a difficult business situation that created my downfall. I started my bankruptcy journey with a different recommended law firm, and had a Very different experience. It was a female bankruptcy attorney, and I thought, looking for anything comfortable and familiar at this stressful time that being female myself we would at least have that in common. That much was true, but didn’t matter much. Communication with that firm was incredibly difficult. Emails were frowned upon & phone conversations had to be scheduled. When you managed to get a phone conversation answers were few and very ambiguous, at best, leaving me feeling like I was swimming with sharks in chummed water and without a cage. Leaving that firm became a nightmare as well and cost me dearly. No-one should have to go through such a nightmare, especially when they are already going through the nightmare of a bankruptcy. I felt a bit shattered, and more than scarred when I showed up at Mr. Michael Baumers firm and asked them to review my case. Within minutes I could tell this experience was going to be different. Michael put me at ease almost immediately. There was no pretense, no “mystery”, and all my questions at our initial meeting were welcomed and answered fully and satisfactorily. As we moved through the process, which went quite quickly and smoothly, emails and calls were welcomed, and answered or returned very promptly by Mr Baumers quite able, efficient and effective staff, Kevin & Renee, who always treated me with kindness and respect. In the end, the desired result was achieved, my bankruptcy and discharge granted as well, and all in a very timely manner. More importantly, I left the experience feeling confident & hopeful in my new beginning, and incredibly blessed for having the great fortune to have had Mr. Baumer and his firm on my team. I truly cannot thank them enough, but look forward to recommending them to anyone I can, as Michael Baumer and his team are truly lifesavers in my book!! Stevie B March 2019

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

We were nervous and felt a tremendous amount of guilt, shame and humiliation about our having to make the decision to file for bankruptcy. But Michael Baumer, Renee, and the entire staff, quickly assuaged any fears we had going into the process and assured us that there was light at the end of the t...unnel. They thoroughly explained our options and walked us through the entire process from start to finish. Renee, who we worked with the closest, never once failed to return our calls or answer the many questions we had during the process. I have to say that Renee was truly a real comfort to us. The most important thing of all to my wife and me was that not once were we ever made to feel judged or ashamed, which allowed us to maintain our sense of dignity. And when it was all over, they were truly excited for us and and our fresh start. If you should ever find yourself in a similar situation and don't know who or where to turn for help, please do not hesitate to contact The Law office Michael Baumer. You will not regret your decision, I promise you.

Due to a failed business, we found ourselves in an impossible situation. Michael Baumer and staff helped us throughout the process with quick answers, clear explanations and likley outcomes and made us feel like that this was not the end. The process was as smooth as it could be and eased a very diff...icult situation. Thank you.
