The process of moving through a bankruptcy is difficult and scary enough for most, and while declaring bankruptcy should be a last resort, and one to be taken very seriously, the counsel you choose to aide you in navigating through this life changing event should be more than competent enough to guide you through what can be very murky waters and also instill confidence and hope of a new day once you have completed the journey. That feeling of competence, confidence, and a new beginning can truly make the difference. I am a professional, a business owner, and it was a difficult business situation that created my downfall. I started my bankruptcy journey with a different recommended law firm, and had a Very different experience. It was a female bankruptcy attorney, and I thought, looking for anything comfortable and familiar at this stressful time that being female myself we would at least have that in common. That much was true, but didn’t matter much. Communication with that firm was incredibly difficult. Emails were frowned upon & phone conversations had to be scheduled. When you managed to get a phone conversation answers were few and very ambiguous, at best, leaving me feeling like I was swimming with sharks in chummed water and without a cage. Leaving that firm became a nightmare as well and cost me dearly. No-one should have to go through such a nightmare, especially when they are already going through the nightmare of a bankruptcy. I felt a bit shattered, and more than scarred when I showed up at Mr. Michael Baumers firm and asked them to review my case. Within minutes I could tell this experience was going to be different. Michael put me at ease almost immediately. There was no pretense, no “mystery”, and all my questions at our initial meeting were welcomed and answered fully and satisfactorily. As we moved through the process, which went quite quickly and smoothly, emails and calls were welcomed, and answered or returned very promptly by Mr Baumers quite able, efficient and effective staff, Kevin & Renee, who always treated me with kindness and respect. In the end, the desired result was achieved, my bankruptcy and discharge granted as well, and all in a very timely manner. More importantly, I left the experience feeling confident & hopeful in my new beginning, and incredibly blessed for having the great fortune to have had Mr. Baumer and his firm on my team. I truly cannot thank them enough, but look forward to recommending them to anyone I can, as Michael Baumer and his team are truly lifesavers in my book!! Stevie B March 2019
I can't speak highly enough about the professionalism, knowledge, friendliness and compassion showed by Michael Baumer and his wonderful staff. They were clear, thorough, patient, empathetic, honest...really I can go on and on. They made a huge difference in the outcome of my case. They made all the difference. Highly recommend!
Mr Baumer has a lot of experience in this field. He was able to walk me through the process quickly and efficiently. His team is very knowledgable as well. I could tell that there were many folks working diligently behind the scenes the entire time. I would recommend Mr Baumer and his team for any bankruptcy situations.
"Michael Baumer and Mrs. Renee Purvis did an amazing job with my Chapter 13 case. They knew what they were doing and didn't waste time getting my case worked on. I thank God for sending me to them!!!!! They have been a blessing to me and my family!!!!!!!"
This is by far the best firm that I could have found and trusted. They were kind, professional and very detailed to my understanding. Michael, Megan, Valorie and every member of his firm helped me have a clear understanding of each step, need and completion. I highly recommend them for anyone needing or considering bankruptcy. They will answer all questions properly and promptly. I can't thank them enough!
Michael Baumer Law Michael and his excellent staff (Valorie, Melanie, Renee, and others) have been the absolute best legal firm that I could have hired to handle my bankruptcy during this very trying time. With my business failing because of the pandemic and creditors hounding me; I needed someone who I could depend on, and I was recommended to see Michael and his staff. Thank God I was!! They led me through every step of the process with written materials, precise step by step procedures, emails, texts, phone calls, and zoom meetings. They could not have made it easier for me. They handled my case with the utmost professionalism and caring. I could not recommend any legal practice more highly. Joe Y. Austin, New Braunfels
