Great Experience...considering our situation

Michael and his staff made our experience with bankruptcy a comfortable one. Their knowledge, understanding, and overall professionalism assured us that we were in the best hands possible during this difficult time in our lives. We owe Michael, Renee, and his entire staff a great big 'thank you' fo...r making our lives so much better! I have and would recommend Michael to family and friends in need of a bankruptcy lawyer. j & w

I don't make any decisions that will affect my life without doing an extensive amount of research. Michael Baumer was the most knowledgeable and well respected attorney in the Austin area. Not only did I make the correct choice in selecting his law firm, but learned that he has written much of the ba...nkruptcy code. I was extremely pleased with his efficiency, but I felt secure because I was told exactly what to expect, what my obstacles were and how they would combat those for me. Madeline and Melanie did so much work on my case. I gave them basic information they requested and they cultivated it for me & they cultivated it for me. As professional as the staff is, they make you feel like they are trusted friends. I feel very comfortable recommending them to anyone!

Professional, compassionate, and knowledgable

My husband and I have used both Michael and Megan Baumer, and we couldn't be more please with their service, knowledge, and compassion. This is a top notch firm, extremely honest and forth-coming, and we have nothing but the utmost trust for them. I have recommended this firm to friends and family me...mbers as well. When we were looking for a bankrutpcy lawyer, a friend recommended the Baumers to us and we figured with a free first consultation it couldn't hurt to talk to them. We were so comfortable in our first meeting with Megan that we hired them on the spot.

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.
