I have been a small business owner since 1994. As most business owners do, I toiled some 70 - 80 hours per week managing the in- field and onsite daily activities of the business. I was fortunate enough to have enough word-of-mouth recommendations that I never advertised. Until one day..... The sad story I will make brief. I decided to contract with one of the largest corporations in the world. And I realized that no matter what your contractual agreement says with them, they have the money and legal council to toy with you as they wish. So, I hired a litigation attorney and went to court with them. We won. Then we won a second case. But now I was $20,000 out in legal costs with another 10 cases to go. The time burden alone was destroying my business. So, my litigation attorney and I spoke and it was decided that I would have a better life should I bankrupt the company. He recommended Bayer, Wishman and Leotta. Bankruptcy and the very idea of bankruptcy was not a pleasant thought. The years of hard work I had put into my company was about to vanish before my eyes. Though my company was a C-Corp it was still very personal to me. I contacted Bayer, Wishman and Leotta. We arranged a time to meet for consultation and what basic documents I would need to bring for the meeting. I arrived at a downtown skyscraper and was ready for the cold process. But rather, I was greeted with a smile and an offer of a beverage. My wait to see Mr. Wishman was short. And, my time with him was anything but cold. He patiently listened to my story and based upon his questions and replies, he obviously empathized with me. We spoke about several options and he even suggested that I be absolutely certain I wanted to move in this direction. How's that for a soft sell. So, I left with contemplation and a list of documents I would need to present to him should I move forward. And, move forward was what I did. My fear of an expensive bankruptcy went out the window when we agreed on the terms. And, my fear of being lost in the shuffle went out the window as well. I was anything but a number to them. I felt as though I mattered. And, they processed my documentation much faster that I provided it to them. I reviewed their legal case presentation and they reviewed my review. We discussed strategy and then I had my day in court. When I arrived at the courthouse, they were there waiting for me. So I sat before the judge. That could have felt very alone. But, the support I received was fantastic. My bankruptcy is now final and based upon the handling of my case by Bayer, Wishman and Leotta, I never received a single challenge to the bankruptcy. If you are ever unfortunate enough to have to go through bankruptcy, do not hesitate to contact them. You will be in the best possible hands and you will not be just another number. I am David T...and Bayer, Wishman and Leotta have my highest recommendation. PS: I feel like I have my life back! http://www.bayerwishmanbankruptcylaw.com/

LEON BAYER IS THE MAN WHEN IT COMES TO BANKRUPTCY LAWYERS . WHEN YOU NEED TO HIRE A BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY YOU NEED TO HIRE SOMEONE WITH VAST EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE. DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE I HIRED AN ATTORNEY WITH ONLY FOUR YEARS EXPERIENCE. WHEN MY CASE TURNED INTO AN ASSET CASE SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND SHE TRIED TO PAWN ME OFF ON ANOTHER LAWYER. I WENT TO LEON BAYER AND HE FIXED THE OTHER ATTORNEYS MISTAKES. THE FIRST TIME I CALLED LEON I SPOKE DIRECTLY TO HIM AND HE STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME FOR 30 MINUTES. HE IS VERY NICE AND UNDERSTANDING AND IS AS SMART AS A WHIP.TRUST ME THAT IS THE KIND OF PERSON YOU WANT REPRESENTING YOU.THANK YOU AGAIN LEON.

As a Los Angeles bankruptcy Attorney, I often see people in the middle of a bankruptcnightmare. Frequently enough, it wass caused by having an inexperienced lawyer, a paralegal, or being slf represented. It happens all the time. I did not charge Cory anything. I'll always be glad that I helped her. This case would never have been a problem if it had been handled correctly from the very beginning, by an experienced Los Angeles Bankruptcy Specialist. An inexperienced lawyer filed Cory's bankruptcy case and took her money. Cory is a very brave young mother with a special needs child. She has a great attidude. She has very limited income. After paying the other lawyer, she certainly had no money left to pay me or any other lawyer to re-do her case correctly.

I received nothing short of stellar service! I am a primary borrower on a mortgage which the secondary borrower filed for Chp 7 Bankruptcy. That discharge was showing up on my credit when it shouldnt have since I didnt file for bankruptcy. After several calls to other attorneys that only wanted money up front for services that obviously I didnt need, Jeff Wishman resolved my matter with just the initial consultation. He was very nice, easy to talk to, practical and extremely bright a great reflection of the entire firm!

Jeff Wishman handled my daughter's very complicated BK quickly and efficiently. Later, Leon Bayer advised me much quicker than I'd anticipated on some questions regarding my bankruptcy despite the fact that I filed it myself. He also helped in follow-up questions and other matters regarding my BK. This firm impressed me beyond all expectations. They rock!

My husband and I highly recommend this law firm. We were totally unaware of the procedures of Bankruptcy. Not only did they they take the time to thoroughly explain, they handled every process of the proceedings. With each and every phone call made, we received an answer or a call back directly from Jeff or one of his assistance. Again, we would highly recommend this office. They get the job done. Satisfaction guaranteed.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our standard pricing method is very simple. We are going to charge you as little as we can get by with. All of our clients are broke. We can't charge you high fees. If you have a simple case, your fees will be cheap. Amen.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start off with a free consultation. After that, we need a list of your debts, copies of recent pay stubs and tax returns, and we will ask you to answer some brief questionnaires. I think most clients expect this to be much harder than it really is.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We are three very experienced bankruptcy lawyers. Each one of us is a Certified Bankruptcy Specialist by the State Bar of California. Each of us has been in bankruptcy law practice for anywhere from 25 years to 37 years.
