I could not have asked for a better attorney. As far as I am concerned he is perfect. He explained everything down to the last letter. He dotted all his Is and crossed all his Ts. He made everything very easy for me. He always let me know what was happening, what to expect and how to proceed....he was very thoughtful and kind. He got me through my bankruptcy with the greatest of ease. He is a very kind and compassionate man. He knows the law very well. I never wondered whose corner he was in......he was always looking out for me and looking for the best way to proceed . You need help with a bankruptcy? This attorney is your man! If I had a question and he did not pick up on his cell he would get back to me within minutes. He responded to my e-mails immediately. His fees were very fair. He came highly recommended to me from a friend and now I know why.

Unfortunately Bret is the only attorney whose services I have retained, so now the bar has been raised so high that I doubt I will have the pleasure again of dealing with someone so honest and genuinely concerned for my well-being. We rode the wave together through a grueling debt collection lawsuit and eventually through bankruptcy. With all of the hurdles and curveballs I could have lost my mind except for his advocacy. It's a comfort to know that there are people like him still trying to help the little guy . . . I can't recommend him enough.

At a time when I was at my wit's end dealing with an illegitimate debt collection legal action, I was lucky enough to be directed to Bret Knewtson who rode in like a knight in shining armor, slayed the Bad Lawyer Dragons and restored my humble existence to its accustomed quotidian somnolence. Bret is knowledgable, earnest and caring. If every lawyer were as principaled as Bret our world would be immeasurably improved. And yes, if not clear by now, I would recommend him to others.

Bret is an incredibly knowledgeable and devoted attorney. He is fearless when it comes to tackling greedy and dishonest debt collectors. Bret kept me well informed throughout my case and was careful to make sure I understood all elements of my case. He sued my a debt collector on my behalf and not only eliminated the debt, but got me a settlement for their misdeeds. I highly recommend him.

The stress of being sued by multiple creditors at one time is far more than anyone should take. It seems the negative affects of the recession came via several court documents. Bret took all the weight off of me and handled everything and I am extremely happy with the results.

Having Bret guide and represent me before and during my bankruptcy is one of the best moves I have ever made. I was getting harassed and sued by creditors. He showed me how to make that noise go away so I could concentrate on wether I was eligible for financial relief and the best ways to proceed. His experience, energy, positive attitude and pleasant demeanor helped keep me calm while I was traversing turbulent and difficult fiscal waters. Every time I left his office I felt a renewed hope that with his help I could shed the burden of debt that was weighing me down. It is such a relief to have my bankruptcy behind me. I just wish I had found Bret sooner and done it earlier. I just can't say enough positive thoughts about the help and representation I received from Mr. Knewtson. I whole heartedly recommend and endorse him.

We were thrilled to have met and been able to work with Bret. He is very smart and very ethical! He really looked out for us and turned what we saw as a very negative situation into a very positive one! He is always very calm and professional. We felt very fortunate indeed to have him work with us. We can 100% recommend Bret for any debt or bankruptcy issues.

I needed a lawyer to file for bankruptcy and hoped I could go out online and read the reviews of lawyers in my area and find one that I would be comfortable with. I lucked out and found Bret based on the wonderful reviews that I read. He was so calm where I was so stressed. He was very patient with me and explained everything and didn't mind my many questions. He made the whole process so much easier than I ever thought it would be. His fees were lower than any of the other lawyers that I had reviewed. That was an added plus. I very rarely do reviews but he really is a very kind and considerate lawyer and that's not something you can find everyday. I will recommend him to all my friends and family.

Bret recently assisted my husband and I with a chapter 7 bankruptcy that went very smoothly from start to finish. When we began the search for an attorney to assist us with the financial mess we'd gotten ourselves into, We were so fearful of the whole process. We had no idea of even where to start. We just knew we needed help. We began calling attorneys in our area and asking as many questions as possible. Bret immediately stood out from all of the rest of the attorneys we talked to. He was kind but very knowledgeable. He was always there for us regarding every problem or question from that moment on. His response time to phone calls and emails was always extremely prompt. One of the reasons we chose Bret was because we really wanted minimal people involved in our case - we didn't want an attorney with a big law firm with lots of other office staff or paralegals involved. We felt we got exactly what we wanted; someone who knew us and our case all the way through and gave us consistent knowledge and guidance. Hopefully we will never find ourselves in a similar financial situation, but if we did we'd use Bret's services again in a heartbeat and would have no issues recommending him to anyone in need of his expertise. Thanks for everything Bret!
