Wayne, (Mr. Mortensen): I concur, he knows what he is talking about. I should have consulted him earlier, for our current situation. I say, it's never to late. I'm calling Wayne, as soon as I am done here. I'm done. Calling Wayne now.

I was very nervous about filing bankruptcy for the first time but Wayne listened and understood my situation and guided me through the process. He is an outstanding Lawyer who had my best interests in mind and understands the AZ laws and your rights. I appreciated his honestly and reality to my situation and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help. I must say Wayne and his stuff treated me utmost respect during this difficult time in my life. Thanks to him, I feel I have a brighter financial future.

I as well as many others found myself in difficult situations twice in my life. Having Wayne as my lawyer helped me make the right choices and his knowledge was really impressive. I have consulted him even after my case was resolved and the information was always 1oo% what was needed. If you need advice as to whether this is the right choice for you , He is the man to ask.

I normally don't leave reviews, but my hope is that even if one or hundreds of people read this they will find relief to their financial struggles... find that light at the end of the tunnel. I would hands down recommend Wayne Mortensen to anyone in search of a bankruptcy attorney. In fact, I have referred several family members to him. He is friendly, personable, knowledgeable, honest & trustworthy. I always thought, as I am sure many people do, that I never thought I'd be in the position to have to file bankruptcy. But you never know what the future holds. My husband lost his job 2 weeks after getting married, which is devastating no matter where you are in your life. After 7 months of unemployment he finally got a job and we thought, "Ok, we can finally catch up on bills." Then he was laid off a couple months later which was followed by several more months of unemployment. By this time we had creditors calling non stop not only to our phones, but our parents and then they called our work.... which I can tell you was quite embarrassing. This was our last straw, we needed to do something. We were recommended to Wayne Mortensen and later that week we had a FREE consultation with him. Prior to seeing him we weren't quite sure what filing bankruptcy all entailed, but Mr. Mortensen was able to answer all of our questions and further educate us in the process. As far as his fees, I found them quite fair considering we were looking at getting rid of a considerable amount of debt. Not only was Mr. Mortensen pleasant to work with, but his staff made the process of filing bankruptcy a lot less stressful. I am sure Mr. Mortensen is a busy man. If he wasn't available to ask questions to I could refer them to his staff, they seem to be pretty knowledgeable themselves. And if they were unsure of an answer to my questions they would leave a message for Mr. Mortensen who in turn was able to return my call in a timely manner. I must admit that starting the process did seem intimidating and overwhelming (at first) but once I gathered all my documents I was able to sit down and fill out the information they needed in no time. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. After turning in the documents they requested I was able to come back to review my final documents in preparation for actually filing the bankruptcy. Our case filed about a week after. Then, about a month or so later we had our Court hearing where Mr. Mortensen was there with us. Let me tell you this hearing is nothing to worry, stress or lose sleep over. My paralegal was very informative in letting me know what to expect at this meeting, and what happens next. After filing bankruptcy I have to say there was a huge sense of relief knowing that things will get better as well as knowing that I was in good hands with a knowledgeable attorney who knew what he was doing. All in all we had a great experience with Mr. Mortensen & his firm and I will continue to refer people to him. Don't hesitate to give him a call. Like I said before they offer a free consultation, I mean what do you have to loose? Seriously... call him!
