“We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for relief under the Bankruptcy Code.”

Today I am writing about my friend and colleague, Bret Knewtson. Bret is an outstanding attorney and member of the legal community. I will never forget the speech he gave as the outgoing Chair of the Oregon State Bar Consumer Law Section. In that speech, he talked about how lawyers have a great duty to be members of the legal community and serve.

Much of Bret’s website deals with bankruptcy, but he is also known in Oregon as the leading authority on defending against credit card lawsuits. He has led the charge in aggressively defending consumers against time-barred breach of contract lawsuits which are filed outside of the statute of limitations.

From his website “Bret Knewtson is a 2003 graduate of Lewis and Clark Law School. He has specialized in personal and small business bankruptcy protection for three years. Mr. Knewtson is always available to answer his clients’ chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy questions.
As a member of the Consumer Law Section, Mr. Knewtson has helped to pass legislation increasing Oregon’s exemption amounts for debtors and other consumer protection laws.”

Under Chapter 13, the debtor proposes a plan to pay his creditors over a 3- to 5-year period. This written plan details all of the transactions (and their durations) that will occur, and repayment according to the plan must begin within thirty to forty-five days after the case has started. During this period, creditors cannot attempt to collect on the individual’s previously incurred debt except through the bankruptcy court. In general, the individual gets to keep his property, and his creditors end up with less money than they are owed.

Today, I am writing about a friend and colleague of mine, Brian Wayson. His law firm, Brown + Wayson, LLC, handles social security disability (SSD), supplemental security income (SSI), disabled widow/widower (DWB) and childhood disability (CDB) benefits.

Brian has a great connection with his clients. From his website he reveals his “Zeal for assisting people with the Social Security Disability claims. Brian has seen the results of this system first hand – starting with his own mother while he was still attending law school. Despite her terminal cancer, brain tumor, heart condition and seven operations his mother repeatedly was denied Social Security Disability benefits – only being allowed benefits after a former North Carolina governor interceded on her behalf.”

After law school, Brian worked for the highest volume social security disability law firms in Portland. His new practice focuses on providing the same high level of legal representation, coupled with the more individualized, personal service that a small firm can provide. They represent people on a contingent basis, which is a terrific service given that most people seeking to hire a lawyer to represent them in their disability claims can ill afford to hire an attorney.

Brian’s firm is on our law firm’s short list of referrals for social security claims. I have no hesitation about referring clients to Brian and Aviva.
