Very Bright and Very Down to Earth Attorney

Jeff N. Wishman is an excellent Bankruptcy Attorney with vast knowledge of how the Bankruptcy Laws work in a court of law. Bayer Wishman and Leotta helped me file a Chapter 7 and I felt so protected because Jeff took really good care of my Chapter 7 Filing with No Paperwork Errors. Jeff was fast effi...cient and has a Great Reputation in the Bankruptcy Courts. Jeff is who you want to call, No One Else, Jeff is easily accessible and approachable, and a really good guy.

Kind, affordable, knowledgeable, and very helpful

Mr. Wishman could not have done more to help me through my Ch. 7 case. He is very caring and wise, always responding to my questions quickly. I consulted with several attorneys and I am so grateful that I chose Jeff Wishman to take care of my case. Also of note, he is straightforward and honest—no ga...mes to be played. Everything was always done professionally and his staff members were kind and helpful as well. You can’t go wrong with this firm.

Truly A Great Attorney!

I received nothing short of stellar service! I am a primary borrower on a mortgage which the secondary borrower filed for Chp 7 Bankruptcy. That discharge was showing up on my credit when it shouldn’t have since I didn’t file for bankruptcy. After several calls to other attorneys that only wanted ...money up front for services that obviously I didn’t need, Jeff Wishman resolved my matter with just the initial consultation. He was very nice, easy to talk to, practical and extremely bright – a great reflection of the entire firm!

Brilliant Professional w/ a Sense of Humor

You are simply the BEST Attorney!CW Thank you to you & your Team @ Bayer, Wishman & Leotta for taking me on this exceptionally emotional journey &being with me every step of the way. It has been a learning process. The decision to file bankruptcy was a difficult & painful one. I had heard outst...anding feedback from friends &business associates who went to BWL &had the most positive experience. They stated "they were given their lives back. " That's when I knew I was ready to make that first call to your office. Thank you for your exceptional service you provided me through the entire process of my Chapter 7 BK. I recall walking into your office &feeling so sad, so beaten up &wrought with fear about the future. By the time I walked out of your office, I knew I hired the right law firm. Atty. Wishman, you put me at ease immediately, finding some common ground to share which was a great icebreaker. I left feeling content &not so nervous about the BK. From the beginning of the BK process, lots of paper work, the hearing &through final discharge, you just didn't answer my questions, you explained it to me in great detail &took as much time as I needed. You were always so patient. You &your Team helped me to understand the process. Thank you for always having tissues on hand too. You were so compassionate with just the right sense of humor at the right time. I always felt that I would be taken care of with your expertise, professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, & excellent communication. You display the highest level of integrity, skill &are straightforward. Your quick response time to all of my phone calls or emails was excellent, &I really appreciated the follow ups making sure that everything was in order and that the staff was taking care of me as well with my case. I know, I asked so many questions. Mr. Wishman, I' am so very fortunate that you handled my case. You went above &beyond my expectations. I never once felt like a number or just a client when talking with you. . Thank you for giving me a fresh start. I would refer my family, friends &business associates to Bayer, Wishman &Leotta if they ever needed to discuss or file BK as I know they would truly be in amazing hands. Warm Regards, CW Orange County, CA
