Leon D Bayer

After walking away and foreclosing on my house that was underwater 50%, the second mortgage bank began it's paperwork to sue me for what I owe them. Not only was I getting sued for a substantial amount but also, at the time, work hours were being cut and I had bills over my head. I didn't even cons...ider filing for bankruptcy, since most my life I have kept my FICO credit score at it's highest. But something had to be done. I knew I couldn't keep up with what I was doing. So, I had to decide...A chapter 7 or 13? After speaking to and interviewing a few lawyers to handle my case, I decided to hire Leon. Over the phone he was very knowledgeable and polite. He was the only one who sounded confident about taking my case on and winning. I met with him, gave him details about the terrible situation I was in, and got a reassuring response. He said I had a good chance to file a chapter 7. None of the other lawyers even mentioned that route! After the meeting I felt much better. I felt like a really heavy weight that I was carrying for over 1 year had lifted off my shoulders. I was definitely sure that I made the right decision. From then on every question I had along the way was answered back quickly via phone or e-mail. Leon always made me feel at ease, since I am the type of person who always worries about the "what if's". He had the answers to the questions and concerns I had about my case and more sometimes. It's nice that he provides "blogs" where he answers peoples questions and gives them good advice online. It took almost exactly 1 year from when I spoke to Leon to when my bankruptcy was granted. I remember that day when I got the letter. It was one of the happiest days I've had. I am so thankful to Leon that everything went so smoothly during the bankruptcy, and thankful that I got a chance to start over. Thanks again Leon! You're the best!

From the first moment that I had contact with Mr. Bayer, he put me at ease over my difficult decision to file bankruptcy. My financial problems had become too overwhelming for me. My decision to file was quite emotional for me because in my wildest dreams I never thought that I would find myself in... that predicament. Mr. Bayer was highly recommended to me by a friend who also experienced difficult financial times. I was assured by Mr. Bayer and his staff that I was in good hands. And I have to say that they were 100% correct. Everything ran smoothly from the moment that I submitted my required documents and financial information to Mr. Bayer. In about a week most of the telephone calls and letters that I had been receiving from my creditors began to diminish. And within less than two weeks, they all ceased. That was a major stress relief. Even with the court backlogs, THE WHOLE PROCESS, from the first time that I spoke to Mr. Bayer on the telephone asking him for his assistance to the moment that I received my DISCHARGE OF DEBTOR document in the mail, TOOK LESS THAN SIX MONTHS. During the process and even after, each and every time that I spoke to Mr. Bayer or his staff I was treated with respect and compassion. All of the assistance and information that I requested from them was given to me immediatley -- usually within a few hours if that long. For any person in need of a bankruptcy attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Leon D. Bayer. It's my opinion that his professionalism and immediate actions probably rank him as one of the best in his field.

I am a physician who was swept into a financial hurricane in 2008/09 and essentially lost everything but my paycheck and my alimony payment. I was very worried that I would not qualify for a Ch. 7 or that something would go wrong. I was seriously thinking about quitting work for five years If I cou...ldn't get a Chapter 7. Who would work for a $100/month after the Ch. 13 trustee was done with your paycheck? Not worth the stress. Anyway, I was referred by a colleague who had the same issues and was assured of his confidentiality and excellence. What he didn't tell me about was his compassion. Having an anxiety disorder myself I called many times and he returned every call in less than 24 hours to offer a calm and reassuring presence. Long story short, I got my Chapter 7 and I don't have to think about going someplace cheap to wait out my five years. My BK was complex due to being a physician, an ex wife, and many creditors and the first attorney I went to took my money then ran saying he couldn't do it because it would take too much time and was too complex. I found out in the small print though that he could keep my money. When I went to Leon he quickly reassured me and showed me how and why I qualified for a Ch. 7. While the technical excellence was worth every penny, the personal and compassionate attention was priceless! Good luck with you in your process. I hope you choose Leon because my experience was nothing but top notch. - Jeff

I was facing a complex financial catastrophe. I spoke to several different bankruptcy lawyers who were reluctant to take my case. Some said they felt they lacked the experience to handle it for me, others said it was too challenging. Another lawyer suggested that I consult Leon Bayer. I did just that.... With his wealth of knowledge and experience, Leon effortlessly unravelled the complexities of my case, and was able to simplify the issues. He relished my case that other lawyers were afraid to handle. Happy and relieved to receive this level of service, I retained him to handle my Chapter 7. Every nuance of the case went smoothly; with no problems, and it all worked out just as he had predicted the first time I met with him. Even with my many questions, Leon was always there by my side to accurately advise me. It's unbelievable, but Leon is a lawyer that actually returns calls promptly, fairly charges, and most especially, really cares about his clients. If all the lawyers were just like Leon, nobody would ever tell another "lawyer joke." I couldn't be happier with the service, attention to detail and consideration I received during this very difficult period. I highly recommend Leon and his exceptional staff of trained professionals.

I highly recommend Leon Bayer. My husband and I felt some embarrassment about filing bankruptcy but Leon made us feel comfortable with our decision. He took time with us on our first appointment to answer all the questions we had and tell us about the process. He, along with his excellent staff, help...ed us all along the way. All the paperwork was handled expertly and whenever we had a question, we either called the office or sent an email, and we always got an answer in a timely way.
