Wayne B Mortensen

I normally don't leave reviews, but my hope is that even if one or hundreds of people read this they will find relief to their financial struggles... find that light at the end of the tunnel. I would hands down recommend Wayne Mortensen to anyone in search of a bankruptcy attorney. In fact, I ha...ve referred several family members to him. He is friendly, personable, knowledgeable, honest & trustworthy. I always thought, as I am sure many people do, that I never thought I'd be in the position to have to file bankruptcy. But you never know what the future holds. My husband lost his job 2 weeks after getting married, which is devastating no matter where you are in your life. After 7 months of unemployment he finally got a job and we thought, "Ok, we can finally catch up on bills." Then he was laid off a couple months later which was followed by several more months of unemployment. By this time we had creditors calling non stop not only to our phones, but our parents and then they called our work.... which I can tell you was quite embarrassing. This was our last straw, we needed to do something. We were recommended to Wayne Mortensen and later that week we had a FREE consultation with him. Prior to seeing him we weren't quite sure what filing bankruptcy all entailed, but Mr. Mortensen was able to answer all of our questions and further educate us in the process. As far as his fees, I found them quite fair considering we were looking at getting rid of a considerable amount of debt. Not only was Mr. Mortensen pleasant to work with, but his staff made the process of filing bankruptcy a lot less stressful. I am sure Mr. Mortensen is a busy man. If he wasn't available to ask questions to I could refer them to his staff, they seem to be pretty knowledgeable themselves. And if they were unsure of an answer to my questions they would leave a message for Mr. Mortensen who in turn was able to return my call in a timely manner. I must admit that starting the process did seem intimidating and overwhelming (at first) but once I gathered all my documents I was able to sit down and fill out the information they needed in no time. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. After turning in the documents they requested I was able to come back to review my final documents in preparation for actually filing the bankruptcy. Our case filed about a week after. Then, about a month or so later we had our Court hearing where Mr. Mortensen was there with us. Let me tell you this hearing is nothing to worry, stress or lose sleep over. My paralegal was very informative in letting me know what to expect at this meeting, and what happens next. After filing bankruptcy I have to say there was a huge sense of relief knowing that things will get better as well as knowing that I was in good hands with a knowledgeable attorney who knew what he was doing. All in all we had a great experience with Mr. Mortensen & his firm and I will continue to refer people to him. Don't hesitate to give him a call. Like I said before they offer a free consultation, I mean what do you have to loose? Seriously... call him!

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!
