Brian Wheeler - Making a Very Difficult Situation a Bearable Experience

I just wrapped up my bankruptcy with Brian Wheeler as my attorney, and I felt compelled to write this review... After several challenging years, I ended up in a very difficult financial situation, which was not only financially stressful but was emotionally stressful as well. I had many concerns regarding who to trust with respect to picking an attorney. Following a one hour, no-charge consultation with Brian, I was confident that he was the right person to represent and guide me through this process. Through every step of the process, Brian's experience, knowledge and integrity shined through; it went exactly as he said it would - no surprises. I dreaded looking for an attorney to begin with and was nervous about the unknowns. If you're in a challenging financial situation, put your fears to rest, set up an initial appointment with Brian, tackle the issue and move on...

Brian Wheeler is an amazing attorney. He walked me through a very long and complicated bankruptcy. He is knowledgeable, professional, and caring. In the end, I was able to eliminate all my credit card debt and keep my house. Filing bankruptcy with him was one of the best decisions I have ever made. His fees are very reasonable and well worth all the time and service he gives to his clients. I really can't imagine going through this process without a good attorney, I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of bankruptcy!

I cannot sing Brian's praises loud enough. I found him through an Internet search engine after my wages started being garnished. My financial life was in a spiral after a particularly difficult separation from my spouse. Brian was quick to respond to my email inquiry, set up an immediate appointment, walked me through the process step by step and reassured me the entire way. Due to the garnishment, he worked extra hard to make sure my case was ready to file ASAP. I literally had a case number within 8 hours of our first meeting. I was astonished at his "drop everything and help you" attitude. I've worked with lawyers in the past that have made the legal process drag on forever. Brian's knowledge, positive attitude, fabulous communication (through phone and email), and friendly personality was the rock that I needed to get through a scary time. Highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling financially.

Brian assisted me with a Chapter 7 suit and right from the start he helped with anything I needed. He kept me informed and up to date on changes, court deadlines and requirements as well as helped greatly with the complexities of filing. He also went out of his way to help me with a payment plan and from the very start he eased the entire process. I would absolutely recommend this attorney to assist you in your bankruptcy needs.

Brian was excellent for representing me through my bankruptcy. He was knowledgeable about the laws and processes, very professional in and out of court and had a very calming demeanor, which helped me through this stressful situation. I also found that his fees were fair, there was individualized attention, weekend appt times available and short to no wait times to respond calls or emails.

When I started the bankruptcy process with Brian I live in Portland, OR, and the issues around my cases were fairly complex. These issues became even more complex after I moved to another state in the middle of the process. Through it all, Brian was always responsive to questions and requests. Also, his knowledge helped me to minimize my financial exposure during the process. I was very happy with Brian's abilities and would not hesitate to use his services again.

I endorse this lawyer. Brian is a colleague in whom I have complete confidence. I am a family law mediator and handle cases for many folks in difficult financial circumstances. In addition to the stress of a divorce, many of my clients are forced to consider bankruptcy as part of a plan to bring some relief to their families. I try to provide my clients with a caring, personal touch at what may be the worst time in their lives. And, when they need bankruptcy expertise, I am so glad to be able to refer them to Brian, whom I know will provide them with not only competent representation, but more importantly the TLC they so desperately need and deserve. Brian’s empathy and approachability are what makes him a great fit for my clients.

Daniel Garner, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Feb 23, 2013
