Most helpful and informative

While I received negative responses from others, Brian was full of information and optimism for my situation. I will Definitely be using him if we are able to reach agreeable fees

The Absolute Best!

I have dealt with and worked for attorney's in my 70+ years, and I must say Brian is at the very top of my list, and I'm not easily impressed. Brian went way above and beyond what he needed to do to help me with my bankruptcy questions. Brian also gave me tips, some of which I knew nothing about that... were of great value to me. I would recommend Brian to anyone that would like an attorney they can not only trust to do the job, but do it correctly. I was also impressed with how quickly he got back to me any time I contacted him. Brian is top notch and a person could feel safe putting their personal or business problems in his hands. I would rate Brian much higher if the system allowed it. star only review

Excellent and Knowledgeable

Bankruptcy is not what we wanted but when my brothers situation worsened we decided to talk with Brian Fenn. After our initial meeting we realized Brian could help my brother and we started on the bankruptcy journey. Brian is knowledagable and walked us through the entire process. He made a painful a...nd embarrassing situation bearable. Thank you Brian for the peace of mind my brother now has. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian and the Fenn Law Firm.

Smooth process from start to finish!

When you finally come to the realization that you need a BK lawyer, you look for the best and most competent person to represent you. Brian is it. We found Brian through a referral from my friend, and we couldn't have been more pleased. On day 1, I called and left a voicemail. Brian personally re...turned my call same day, and we spoke for about an hour on how and why to proceed with BK. He was knowledgeable, answered my questions with straight forward answers, up front with his charges, etc.. Our situation had to do with out of state real estate and finances, and his advice on how to proceed was spot on. Anyhow, throughout the course of filing he was always available via text and/or email. In fact, since my home was quite a distance from his office, he met half way to meet/discuss our case. I never once stepped foot in his office. Long story short, Brian treated us well, was available when we needed him, and we walked away feeling very confident with life after a BK. He is highly recommended!!!!
