Brian Wheeler

Brian Wheeler is a seasoned Portland bankruptcy attorney with over three decades of experience helping individuals navigate financial hardship. Since establishing his practice in 1994, he has personally represented more than 1,000 clients in bankruptcy cases, focusing on providing direct, individualized legal support, not assembly-line service.

Brian earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Oregon School of Law in 1992. In the early years of his career, Wheeler handled criminal and consumer law cases and worked as a law clerk for a bankruptcy attorney in Eugene. After relocating to Portland in 1994, he dedicated his practice exclusively to bankruptcy law.

Brian handles both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. His approach stands out for its personal attention—clients never deal with paralegals or assistants. Every question is answered directly by Brian Wheeler, who prioritizes timely communication, often returning calls or emails on the same day. This level of service comes at a cost comparable to, or even lower than, that of larger bankruptcy firms.

Brian’s mission is to help clients gain relief from overwhelming debt while protecting their assets and dignity. Oregon’s use of federal bankruptcy exemptions allows many of its clients to retain their property and see improvements in their credit within a year of filing. His guidance helps eliminate creditor harassment, wage garnishments, and other financial stressors.

Brian Wheeler offers free initial consultations to those considering bankruptcy, believing that educating clients about their options is key to effective legal representation. Through his practical experience and personal commitment, he has earned a reputation as a trusted and compassionate advocate for financial recovery in the Portland community. Whether you’re starting over or exploring options, Brian Wheeler delivers reliable legal solutions with professionalism and care.
