Brian was very patient in answering my questions and explained the process every step of the way. I was nervous about filing for bankruptcy but Brian calmed my fears. I never felt judged.He was also great at communucation! Highly recommend this local Portland attorney.

Sterling Grandberry

Brian is such a great attorney and guy. The amount of time and effort he spent on me I honestly felt like I owe him more money! After going bankrupt I really didn't have it but I hope this review can bring him more customers. I shopped around, his rate is very reasonable and the value is best you'll find. My bankruptcy has finally discharged well over a year later and he has still made himself available to me. When you call, he answers the phone, not a secretary and he knows who you are. Emails are responded to promptly and thoroughly. Highly, highly recommend. Sincerely, thank you Brian

Brian was so understanding and nonjudgemental. I walked into his office feeling ashamed that I had gotten into the hole I was in. But, I left feeling a lot better. He explained the entire process to me in a manner that I could understand, and walked me through the entire step of the way. I never felt alone and knew that if a question came up he would be there to answer it for me! I definitely would recommend Brian to anyone!

Brian Wheeler is a slam dunk attorney, it was a very stressful time and I appreciate his process. It was efficient, he kept me on point with my documentation, and represented me well. Very happy with the outcome, thanks Brian.

Douangchay Sonphommasith

I am so glad I found him. The process was easy. The documents he asked for were simple. When we went to court it literally took 5 minutes because he was so well prepared. Friendly and professional. The best at what he does by far. Price unbeatable.

marni riehs

We can't thank Brian enough for all his help in walking us through the bankruptcy process. It was nice to know we had someone on our side. He made it so easy for us. We appreciate him and the time he put in to dealing with our case. He was always there when we had questions and never made us wait for answers. We are grateful to him for making our lives a little easier.

Brian wheeler did a wonderful job for me. he explained everything to me in a way i could understand. he was extremely low priced and you definitely got your money's worth. he went out of his way to allow me to come into his office (to do the phone interview when my cell phone service wasn't adequate) even though he had other clients to deal with. this wasn't part of the deal but he bent over backwards to accommodate me, without any additional charge! I was amazed how he treated me so personally and made this extremely stressful,scary part of my life easier. he was always there to explain any questions i had and made the process as easy as possible. If i ever needed him again i wouldn't hesitate to call him. If you're considering bankruptcy I would definitely give him a call. he answered all of my questions beforehand and never pressured me into hiring him or even going forward with bankruptcy, he just answered my questions and I was surprised there was no no strings attached. long story short, brian wheeler is an outstanding bankruptcy attorney who does his job like people did in the past, with integrity, honesty and treats people with respect.

しらゆきゆう

Brian is a fantastic attorney. I had a lot of debt of medical bills and I laid off from my work I couldn’t pay it anymore. So I found him and contacted him. He is so professional, understanding, kind and very friendly. He made my chapter 7 so easy. I didn’t have any knowledge about it but he explained everything and it was so fast to filed. I'm so grateful to work with him. I was scared to ask the fee but his fee is affordable. He know about bankruptcy very much and his advice is very accurate.I’m so happy he helped me. And now I have new life. I would like to give him 1000 stars!!! I highly recommended!

Ryan Neuman

Highly professional, he walked my wife and I through the process and it was an almost completely pain free experience other than all the paper work you have to print, sign and send the experience was excellent.Thank you Brian.

Christopher James Thomas

I was referred to Brian from a colleague/acquaintance who had previously hired him to help her with a chapter 13. I filed his contact info knowing that, at some point, I was probably going to need to reach out to him regarding having to possibly file for bankruptcy. When I finally decided to reach out to Brian, he was generous with his time on the initial consultation call and really listened to my situation, which I greatly appreciated. And after assessing my situation, he mentioned that he felt confident I was a good candidate for chapter 7. I was very nervous about the whole procedure, but he "held my hand" the whole way and was very attentive, amiable and responsive to all my questions and concerns throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend him without hesitation.

Jacob Barr

Working with Brian to file bankruptcy was the best decision I could’ve made! From the consultation to the end he was there to make sure I was prepared for every detail. Brian was quick to answer all questions and very reactive to responding to any needs I had during this process. I ended up having to file with very little notice and he fit me in to an appointment that evening to make sure I did not receive a garnishment. I would hands down recommend him to anyone needing to file for bankruptcy!

Lucien Kress

Brian was a great advocate to have while getting my credit card debt discharged. He explained the complex details very clearly, was patient through several delays caused by my changing circumstances, and charged a reasonable flat fee despite those delays and some additional processes we had to go through. Brian is always responsive, friendly, and encouraging. I recommend him without reservation.

Is filing bankruptcy right for you?

Is bankruptcy the right choice? Bankruptcy can help you and other honest, hard-working people get rid of burdensome debts and get bills under control. It can also do many other things like the following:

Stop garnishment.
Stop foreclosures.
Stop harassing phone calls.
Put a stop to collection agency abuse.
Prevent utility shut offs.
Stop car repossessions.

Get your car back after a repo.
Eliminate some income taxes.
Pay back child support.
Stop driver’s license suspensions.
Stop lawsuits.

New Exemption Laws In Oregon

In July, 2013 the Oregon Legislature enacted a law allowing many Oregon residents to use the federal bankruptcy exemptions. This change will help many people with their fresh start after bankruptcy because it will allow them to exempt more of their property, including tax refunds. At your initial consultation we will discuss how this may benefit you.

How to get started

You can start the process toward solving your financial problems and rebuilding the credit rating you deserve by calling me at (503) 284-0994, emailing me at , texting me at (503) 936-5026, or using my or using my contact form to arrange a free office or telephone consultation. I can also often answer questions by email. You may also want to look at my questionnaire to see what information will be needed to get a case filed.

No charge bankruptcy consultation

I offer a free initial bankruptcy consultation by telephone or in person at my NE Portland office so that you can get your questions answered and make sure bankruptcy will work for you. I can also often answer some questions by email if you do not feel comfortable calling. An initial consultation will usually last about one hour and during that time we will discuss the following things:

Why you are thinking about bankruptcy
What property do you own and is that property at risk of being taken by a bankruptcy trustee
What is your income
Recent financial transactions
Will bankruptcy work for you

The bankruptcy filing process
Necessary information and documents to file bankruptcy
What to expect at your bankruptcy hearing with the Trustee.
Fees and costs
Effects of filing a bankruptcy and receiving a discharge

Required credit counseling

When Congress changed the bankruptcy laws back in 2005 they created a mandatory credit counseling requirement. I have recommended a low cost Portland Bankruptcy Counseling Company for many years with good results. They charge $20 for single or married applicants and the bankruptcy counseling can be done entirely online. For an even less expensive bankruptcy counseling option many of my clients have used www.moneysharp.org. They charge $10. You do not need to have this done before you schedule a consultation with me, but it does need to be completed before you can file a bankruptcy case with the court.

The following notice is required by federal bankruptcy law: I am a debt relief agency, I help people file for bankruptcy under the bankruptcy code.
