I highly recommend Attorney Steven Brumer. Mr. Brumer represented me in my bankruptcy case. He answered all of my questions thoroughly, and kept me informed every step of the way until my bankruptcy case was discharged. He exceeded my expectations!

Steven helped me through one of the toughest times in my life! I trust him completely and would recommend him and his services to ANYONE. Besides being a great attorney, he is compassionate and really cares about his clients welfare. I've never needed a lawyer before and it's great to know I can count on him. To be honest, I really didn't worry too much about the outcome of my case because Steven was 'all over it'! Thank you Steven... from the bottom of my heart... THANKS!

Thank you for taking the time to read my review on Mr. Steven Brumer. I have a small Corporation and reached out to Steven for professional advice and suggestions. With Steven's expertise and his professional manner I felt very confident moving forward with his services. Steven helped with the BK paperwork process, and answered all questions of concern, and his responses were very quick via email and available via phone call upon request. San Diego has several hundred attorney's to reach out to and the BK process is very stressful. Steven and his firm uses an online software program very user friendly. I would highly recommend Steven for his services. In conclusion, our experience was great the end result was very positive. Sincerely, Howard

Mr Brumer provided me with an excellent consultation so that I understood all of my options regarding custody, visitation, and child support. He listened attentively, answered all of my questions, and gave me invaluable feedback. As a result of the consultation with Mr Brumer, I became more confident in what my options and choices are.

I was really pleased with how attorney Brumer handled my bankruptcy. I was really nervous at first to file but attorney Brumer reassured me that it was the best thing for me in my particular situation. He walked me through the whole process so I felt completely comfortable and understood what was going on the whole time. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to my family and friends in similar situations.

I am thankful to have found Steven to help me through such a difficult financial situation. He helped put me at ease through the whole process. I was set back by a simple computer processing mistake that delayed my case. I was very discouraged but Steven was on top of it and got me in and out and on with my life. I truly believe he worked hard for me and I highly recommend him!

I found Steven through my work's EAP. He was flexible with the time I was able to meet and his honesty was as wonderful as his compassion for my situation. He always responded to my emails and phone calls in a timely manner, I highly recommend his service as an attorney.

I had a few questions related to a debt that I am not sure that I actually owe (I was contacted by a debt collection agency) and I called Mr. Brumer to ask him for his opinions on my situation. He was extremely kind, patient and eager to go over my situation and explain to me the potential courses of action I may need to take in the future. He made a very good impression on me. If I end up requiring legal services if this current situation escalates, I will certainly be calling Mr. Brumer back.
