There are times in life when all the roads seem to lead to a dead end, when all you think about is how did I get here, when the goals, the dreams, the hopes seem to vanish........ And then you start looking for a way out, for another chance, for the one more time to keep dreaming...... For months I was trying to work out my debt until I found Bret, he was not only my lawyer but also the shoulder that at times I needed, an incredible person a competent lawyer that works for you all the way Someone you can realy trust...that is my experience and thank you thank you...thank you, Bret.

Hire him ! I was wrongly sued, but was pretty scared since I'm not a lawyer I didn't understand all the language. I'm so glad I found Bret in the phone book, I'm so glad I did. Bret won my case for me and secured a nice settlement as well. If you need help fighting a claim I suggest you contact Bret, he is awesome.

Bret was wonderful. We didn't understand the course to take with our bankruptsy, but he led us through it every step of the way. Thanks, Bret.

Mr. Knewtson was able to attend to my need on a moments notice. I came to him to discuss being sued for Credit cards, previous judgments, and student loans. Knewston's advice kept me from filing bankruptcy and gave me alternatives to fight back and reduce payments. He also, kept in close contact with me via email and phone within 2 hours of each self initiated contact. I would reccomend Knewtson to anyone who is in debt and feels overwhelmed. His extensive knowledge about the debt collection and relief process will speak for itself the first time you speak to him.

Bret has been very patient through our very difficult filing. He not only has explained everything in detail he never made us feel like we were bad people for filing! I would recommend him to anyone I know who needs a great attorney. Knowledge is Power and when you feel like your world is crumbling around you financially; know that you DO have someone on your side!

I got a court summons from Amex abt 20 days before was leaving to go overseas to see my parents. I had a month to reply and was totally freaked out. I called Oregon Legal Aid for help and they set me up with some of their pro bono attorneys for the next day. After spending 3.5 hrs with them, I didnt have my answers or a concrete solution. I asked for a referal for a BK lawyer and a wonderful lady there referred me to Bret. It was 4:45 PM on Friday and I wasnt expecting anything to happen till Monday, but I called anyway and left hm a VM. As I was driving back home, I was very pleasantly surprised to get a call back from Bret. It was almost 6PM. I explained the situation to him and the time crunch I was facing. He heard the stress & panic in my voice and immediately got me an appt to see him on Monday morning at 10AM. We spent almost 3 hrs w/him at our 1st appt and finalized a plan to handle this. We decided to go ahead w/Chapter 7. At the end of this, I knew I was in good hands and could totally trust him. He set up another appt for an intake. This one was also nearly 3.5 hrs long. He was extremely detail oriented, actually listened to everything I had to say and we literally printed out most of the paperwork he would need to file, right from his office. By now, I had only 10 days left before I flew and the stress was mounting. But Bret handled everything beautifully. He interjected a lot of humor into our meetings to lessen my stress, worked thru all the papers meticulously and gave us some very helpful pointers. He put together a rough draft for me by Thursday, which I reviewed and he called me again in to meet him on Friday eve, so we could finalize the petition, get signatures and file. He did this for me after work hours, only so I could have some peace of mind for the next 4 days before I flew. He went out of his way to get everything done and filed in less than 15 days. I am amazed he pulled it off, but he did. If you need an excellent BK attorney, Bret is the person to go to. He is one of those few attorneys who is not clinical, cut and dry. He has this wonderfully human and caring side to him which assures a person and makes them feel safe. He will listen to every concern you have an address it. He never failed to respond to my emails or phone calls, which, trust me, would have annoyed any other attorney. But not Bret.. he knew I was in super panic mode and he did everything he could calm me down and get me thru all this. When I came home, I was jet lagged and had my trustee meeting scheduled in less than a week. He said I could leave my car at the office and go with him to the court since I was still so disoriented. I guarantee you, if you do decide to use his services, you will not be disappointed. Every aspect, detail and concerns will be covered. His fees are extremely reasonable, which makes getting an attorney not so daunting and stressful. There are not enough good things I can say about Bret and if anyone in my social circle needs a BK attorney, I am sending them to him. So, go right ahead.. retain him and you will not be disappointed.

It is a pleasure to unequivocally recommend Bret Knewtson for any legal representation within his law practice's specialty. Mr. Knewtson provided exceptional service and a complete command of the legal subject matter in my banking case. His insights were thought-provoking and relevant - and his direction saved me time and money. Who could ask for more? Responsive and accessible, with a concerned eye for every minute detail, my experience with Mr. Knewtson was positive and helpful, even amid the unsettling legal circumstances.

I had nothing but a positive experience working with Bret Knewtson. I had a difficult situation in which I was served with a judgment for a debt I did not believe was mine. Due to misunderstanding of legal implications and the unresponsiveness of the firm that had served me, the judgment was issued before I found legal counsel. I talked to two attorney's before the last one referred me to Bret. Because of his thoroughness, and experience in fair credit practices we were able to get the judgment reversed and dropped! He saved me a couple thousand dollars and the effect it could have had on my current position in my career, not to mention the long term effect on my credit. I would highly recommend Bret to anyone dealing with credit issues, Fair Lending and Fair Credit Practices.
