Bert Briones

I have not used this attorney yet due to saving for fee's. Mr. Briones offered to arrange a payment plan. Additionally (very important due to our situation), after calling several attorney's since Feb 2014, Mr. Briones was the 'only one' who (himself) brought up the knowledge on how to protect us d...ue to placed through Victim Witness Protection Program. When I brought up our situation to other Attorney's re: how to protect us in BK, they were still perplexed and didn't want to spend the time. This did not scare Mr. Briones at all. His main concern was to see we were protected and the extra effort did not seem to discourage him. Seem's he see's the big picture and thinks out of the box ahead of time to protect.

Bert and team provided great guidance and options going into a reorganization. Was provided with good insight into the process and supported all throughout. Whenever a question or challenge came up his knowledge kept my mind at ease. Completed a Chapter 13 reorg on schedule and obtained a dischar...ge at the completion.

We hired Mr. Briones in 2014 to negotiate debt reductions with vendors we owed money to from closing down our business... Then we unfortunately were faced with a lawsuit which put us into bankruptcy proceedings. Mr. Briones has been available almost day and night to answer our questions or to just l...isten as we vented. He has worked with us closely to find the best solution for our situation. He is very knowledgeable, he gets the job done and he also has a good heart.

I hired Bert Briones to handle my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing and he did an excellent job. He walked me through the entire process and explained to me exactly what to expect. I was amazed at how quickly Bert would always return my emails or phone calls. There was never a time throughout the whole exp...erience where I was stressed or confused about the Chapter 7 process, or what was happening with my case. Bert is one of the most professional & knowledgeable attorney's I have ever met and I highly recommended him!

We never planned on getting into a financial situation where we were facing bankruptcy. Bert was helpful from our first meeting, and guided us (calmly) through the process of a Chapter 13. He was always available - I can't count the number of phone calls we've had over the past 5 years. He worked wit...h us on a major complication that occurred due to a bank error (our mortgage holder did not account for our mortgage payments correctly and threatened to foreclose), and was able to resolve it without adding to our stress. He was constantly calm, and was able to "talk me off the ledge" quite a few times. I recommend him highly for anyone who is trying to determine their next steps with a possible bankruptcy filing.
