Renegotiated My Debt and Saved Me from Bankruptcy!

I am in the real estate development business. I had a very large business line of credit still lingering from the market collapse in 2008. The bank began demanding payment in full which I did not have the means to pay. After many stressful discussions with the bank I hired Wayne in anticipation of... filing bankruptcy to stave off the collection. Instead, Wayne took over these negotiations and was able to negotiate a 50% principle reduction in the debt with lower payments than I had been making to start with! I credit Wayne with saving my business from bankruptcy and my credit. He was always available to answer my questions and handled my situation very professionally with results I couldn't have imagined. His fees were very reasonable, worth every dime and more! I would hire him again for any financial needs I have in the future. Thanks Wayne!

Be Wise and Choose this Guy!

My husband and I went to a different lawyer at first. The difference was night and day. Wayne has been worth every penny and more. We are always treated with respect and compassion. There is always a return call and we are into our case by several years now. His office and paralegal are on top of our... case. It is reassuring to have a knowledgeable, educated, honest lawyer that is looking out for your best interest. I can not say enough about Mr. Mortensen. I truly feel he is the best choice out there.

Makes your problems his problems and always gives the best advice & counsel...

Mr. Mortensen has provided legal advice for me as well as several other business associates, family members and friends who I have referred to him for representation over the years. He is a consummate professional and knows the law. His communication skills are one of his biggest strengths! I highly ...recommend him as a trusted, knowledgeable and responsive lawyer. He assisted me in organizing my debt and avoiding costly financial mistakes.
