I would highly recommend Brian Wheeler!

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 ma...de. 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!

Excellent at quickly and painlessly resolving financial crisis.

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.

Happy to give this very fine attorney my recommendation!

I am not in the habit of reviewing services , products or personal services unless they are very poor or exemplary. Brian Wheeler, I am happy to say, deserves recognition in the latter of these categories. I was fortunate to find Brian when I was in the midst of financial problems. He led me m...e through the legal morass with care, diligence and his excellent knowledge. His response times were excellent due to his very good organization and dedication to resolving any issues. I went though bankruptcy after 40 years of spotless credit. It was difficult for me personally but Brian was there with his knowledge and support. A big thank you to him. I heartily recommend his services and commend his character.

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...

Thank you, Brian!

I highly recommend Brian Wheeler. My entire experience with Brian has been great from start to finish. I was so scared and nervous about filing bankruptcy, but he did an amazing job and walked me though everything. He was always available to me by phone and emails and he filed my case very quickly.... Thank you so much, Brian!!!

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."
