Excellent

I came to Mr Weber who after speaking to several rude attorneys answered his phone at 6pm he was out the door but took his time to talk to me about the bankruptcy I was looking for. He took his time and answered all my questions without trying to rush me off the phone. Pleased I called back the next ...day and made the first appointment. My husband and I hired him. His office and staff especially Kim returned all my calls and questions prompty. Mr Weber even called me back on a Saturday with a question I thought about! All I can say is his services were superb. I had my hearing today and my file was the only one done correctly and I didnt need to make a second court appearance. 12 other people ahead of me all had attorneys that did not have the files prepared. I highly recommend this office.

Really cared

I came to Joseph Weber with a judgment against me that I couldn’t pay. I didn’t know what to do. I knew Joe specialized in bankruptcy but that was not what I preferred. Joe agreed with me and I hired him to negotiate and settle my case with the collectors. Although this was not listed as one of Jo...e’s “specialties” he ended up saving me over 40 thousand dollars! I was able to pay the judgment and go on with my life. Honestly, Joe was one of the most sincere people I have ever worked with. Felt like he really cared during the whole process. My highest recommendation goes to Mr. Weber.

Very Knowledgeable and helpful

Even though Mr. Weber's firm does not take Chapter 11 cases, he called promptly and was very helpful and assisting and directing me in he right direction. I wish I could have retained him.

Saved out family and home!

Finding out you may lose your home and have so many bills that make you too scared to answer the door and phone is very stressful. Families can't afford to get sick these days with-out falling behind. You start to just stop opening bills because your income and savings are sucked dry within a few yea...rs suffering with being sick. Getting a certified letter with a "sale date" of your home is a wakeup call. I researched bankruptsy and looked at a few different firms. It is daunting trying to find and hire someone to save you can be overwhelming. I was lead to Joseph Weber in Costa Mesa, so i called and went in for the first appointment without my husband. I was scared. 3 appointments later we finally filed chapter 13. He AND his support staff were amazing. They let me cry and reassured me our family will get through this with their help. Long story, short, it was the BEST decision i have ever made. Yesterday i sat waiting for our hearing listening to case after case. It seemed like everyone was getting denied or dismissed. Attorneys not prepared or missing items etc etc. when we were called up with Mr Firman (Joe's associate) I was beyond scarred that this nightmare would end bad. IT DIDN'T! Our team had everything that was needed. The mediator even mentioned he remembered his review the night before had no need for notes (i found out that it meant we had our sh!t together) and it was the fastest case of the hour. Max 3 minutes. Compared to 20-25 minutes of watching several offers not accepted. I would bet that all the others in that room wished they had our attorney's team. I walked out stunned and relieved. I wish I could express how much it meant to me, but i figured i'd tell my story in an honest review. I owe my current happiness to them. They helped save our family home. One more thing. Once he was hired (retained), he told me to start answering the phone and front door. He gave me his card and told me to tell whoever was calling about our bills and/or lawyers trying to serve us, to call his number and to advise them they need to call/contact his office. It was an amazing feeling of power and finally helped control all the harassment. I am still not yet healthy BUT I can now focus on me. Thank you Mr Weber, Mr Firman and staff. You are all wonderful. And they have "our back" for the next 5yrs!! Please forgive any poor spelling & grammar in this review and story. I hope that my message is loud and clear. Ty, Lou

Joe Weber.... Helped a Veteran!!! Best Lawyer I could have ever found.....

Ever since I was in the Military, I've never been good with money. Im good at making it, but Im just as good at spending it. I'm looking forward to getting married and buying a house in the future... And that wont happend with my financial situation.. Anyways.. I found Joseph A Weber and he took me u...nder his wing. Knowing that I was military he even gave me a huge discount.. He loves helping Veterans... I thank god I found this guy, because most Lawyers would have taken the little money I have.... If you are even considering BK, Pleasssse get this guy.... Especially Veterans.
