Brian P. Buchert

Brian P. Buchert is a Tampa attorney who helps people facing debt decide whether bankruptcy offers a workable path forward. He assists clients considering Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings, including those dealing with collection pressure, credit card debt, or the risk of foreclosure. His work begins with a review of each client’s finances and goals so they can understand which option fits their circumstances. He serves clients in Tampa and other communities in the Middle District of Florida.

Brian earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology with a minor in Mass Communications from the University of Florida, graduating cum laude. He then earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Florida Fredric G. Levin College of Law, also graduating cum laude. His education provides a foundation for reviewing financial records, explaining legal requirements, and helping clients make informed decisions during a difficult period. He has been licensed to practice law in Florida since 2008.

Before establishing his own practice, Brian worked at a large law firm in Polk County, where he handled business, real estate, property, and land development matters. Today, his legal work includes helping clients consider the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. That can involve reviewing Chapter 7 eligibility, discussing assets and applicable exemptions, or examining whether a Chapter 13 repayment plan addresses overdue obligations. He also guides clients through the filing process and the meeting of creditors.

Brian P. Buchert approaches debt problems with attention to each client’s financial situation and the practical effects of filing. For clients worried about a home, he can discuss how bankruptcy relates to foreclosure and what issues require prompt review. For those struggling with unsecured debt, he can explain the relief each bankruptcy chapter is designed to provide. He offers an initial consultation to help clients consider their options and take an informed next step. He is a member of The Florida Bar and the American Bar Association.
