Quick and painless process

Brett and his assistant Jenn Odom were on the ball throughout the entire filing process of our bankruptcy. They always kept us in the loop and were very calming & helpful when we had concerns or questions. We’re now in the best financial standing in 3 years, our credit is at 700 & climbing and thanks... to their guidance we’re maintaining great utilization of our lines of credit. Thanks Brett & Jenn

Just awesome!!

Earlier this year a situation came up that was way beyond me alone. I must have called 7 different places looking for advice. Each one was quickly adding up numbers that had me honestly scared. I cant overstate how helpful Brett was. Amazing work ethics, he was straight forward about what my options ...were and which he would recommend. Id like to add that he actually kept me from going bankrupt!!! You can clearly see that it's not about money but whats best for you, and honestly you just cant beat that, in a lawyer or any businessmen.

Would recommend them in a heart beat

Great firm! Very patient with all our questions and answered them clearly in a way that we could understand. Took care of all our problems. We had a large number of liens on our property that normally cost $200 a lien to remove. There were so many it would have cost us somewhere around $4000. He... told us that would be "unconscionable" to charge us that much and charged us at a reduced fee. Thank you for a great experience (if bankruptcy ever is a great experience)!!

Excellent professional work not forgetting human kindness

In trying to save our home from foreclosure, we met with two attorneys who made us feel that all was lost. Just give up and let it be. They also encouraged us to pay the fees for them to try with no guarantee. However, we decided to look again and came in contact with Mr Wittner. On our first meeting... with him, he explained everything to us and for the first time, we felt very hopeful that there was actually someone who can help us save our home. He took us through the bankruptcy process successfully. He is extremely knowledgeable and diligent in what he is doing. In my opinion, he is a lawyer who is very passionate about his work and takes a lot of pride in what he is doing. He made sure that our matter was submitted in a timely manner and was always open to answering all our questions. His service was also less expensive than the other pessimistic lawyers. I recommend him highly as he is very honest and I believe that money does not take precedent over the excellent quality of his work. I felt he treated us very kindly and understood our situation and worked to ensure we receive the most desirable outcome. When our matter was settled, we felt that we paid very little for the excellent service we got in return. At no time did we regret choosing him as our bankruptcy lawyer.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
