Had a great experience. Was really down and out and he explained every step of the way and kept me informed. I was a borderline case to get a ch. 7 and he assured me I would get it and I did! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a bankruptcy lawyer.

Joseph Bernwanger is one of the most committed attorneys I have ever worked with. He was a very hard worker and extremely good at keeping me informed. He made sure I understood all phases of my Divorce as well as my Bankruptcy. He gave me all the tools I required to make well informed decisions. Joe was amazingly thorough and respectful. He always kept me focused on each step of the process which I considered to be quite a relief considering how nervous I was about my situation. Though Joe is extremely empathic, his ability to keep the broader perspective in focus for me was extremely helpful. Joe was a very calming and empowering presence as I went through the legal process that involved very personal aspects of my life. I would highly recommend Joe, and I do believe one would be fortunate to engage his services.

Joe has the answers. He takes the time to explain things clearly. He knows the laws. I would recommend Joe to everyone.When it came to our foreclosure he told us exactly how to handle it and we knew what was going to happen and it helped tremendously.

Joe handled my short sale process for me. He gave me excellent advice and was able to explain questions to me in a way that I could understand. He was available anytime of day and was very affordable. Overall, Joe made a tough process very easy for both me and my family. I'd definitely hire him again.

Joe was an exceptional lawyer! He kept me very informed of everything that was going on, made sure I understood, and was very respectful. Having had to go through a terrible divorce I was put in a position to have to file bankruptcy. Joe never made me feel like I was less of a person or that I was below him do to my financial situation. He was very respectful and I never felt like I was being judged. That was very important to me and because of his help I can now start a brand new life with me and my three small children, debt free!

I was given Joe's phone number from a local Howell, MI lawyer in May 2015. He was quick to meet with me (which I appreciated at the time), we signed a contract that he would take care of my case for $550. He was paid in full at that time. Sometime went on, I exchanged a few emails with him and all seemed fine. Once, I was ready to file my case, Joe ignored my "ready to go" emails for close to a year if not longer, when I sent an email telling him I was going to contact the bar association, BBB and possibly file a small claims case, he all the sudden responsed that "all my other emails must have been going to his junk folder and he had recently started working for a firm and he would get back with me to see how he could get my case filed".... Months went by and nothing. Meantime I hired and paid another lawyer to file my case. I contacted Joe again by email about getting my money back because I no longer needed him for services, since I had to hire someone else. I received an email back that he would be sending me a refund check in 7 - 10 days, that was early June 2017. Now, Aug 25th 2017, still no return check, no contact from him and now my emails to him are bouncing back, my guess is that he has blocked my email address. I really was trying to give him a chance to make things right because I know how people can fall on hard times, but "blocked" emails were the deal breaker and now I will follow through and report him to the Bar association, BBB, and file a small claims case. Unfortunately, I would not recommend him or the firm he works for, If this is the type of people they employ, I don't care to do business with them.
