Professional bankruptcy attorney I highly recommend

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 att...ention, weekend appt times available and short to no wait times to respond calls or emails.

Excellent service!

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. Als...o, 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.

Very helpful and understanding lawyer

Brian Wheeler helped me with my bankruptcy and kind and understanding. He walked me through the steps and was there to answer all my questions. He was understanding and didn't make me feel as that I was a bad person for having to do this.

He was very knowledgable and will to work with my time frames and ability to schedule appointments,

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 rega...rding 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...

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
