Local Commitment to Michigan Bankruptcy Clients
Brian knows that when people walk into his office, they’re often carrying years of financial stress, uncertainty, and fear about what lies ahead. He believes in making the process less intimidating, starting each consultation by listening to his client’s full story — not just their list of debts.
His style is collaborative and transparent: he explains every step in relatable terms, so clients feel informed and empowered to make decisions. Many remark on how much calmer and more confident they feel after their first meeting with him.
In Their Own Words: Client Stories
"The best — prepared, supportive, and respectful" — Dion Walker
"They are the best! They explained the entire process and prepared me very well. I would highly recommend their services. Even when I needed help years later, they treated me with as much respect and support as if I was still a current client. Thank you, Acclaim Legal Services!"
"Phenomenal and persistent" — Eddy Herron
"This legal team is the best in the land! They were phenomenal in processing my filing and went above and beyond to resolve issues with my debtors. Brian, Amy, and Cindy kept me involved from the start of my case to post-confirmation. I’m definitely glad I chose Acclaim Legal Services and would recommend them 10 out of 10 times."
"From frustration to relief" — Dana Sprangel
"I was already in a bankruptcy case but not having a good experience, so I decided to switch. Brian spent two hours on the phone with me that first day. By the next morning, the team already had my paperwork started, and my case moved faster in the following three months than it had in the first three years. I highly recommend this law firm — the most compassionate people I have ever met."
"Peace of mind at every step" — Tina D.
"My first visits with Mr. Rodriguez brought me nothing but relief, peace of mind, and lots of information. He made sure I was informed and confident every step of the way. I recommend them to all my friends and family who inquire about bankruptcy."

FAQs About Bankruptcy & Debt Relief in Michigan

His work is a team effort, often in close collaboration with trusted paralegals, so clients know they always have someone ready to help.

Q: What should I expect at my first meeting with Brian?
A: You can expect a straightforward, compassionate conversation. Brian will review your financial situation, explain your legal options in clear terms, and recommend a plan that’s tailored to your goals.

Q: Does Brian only handle cases in Dearborn?
A: While Brian manages our Dearborn office, he works with clients across Wayne County and surrounding areas. He is familiar with the local trustees and courts, which helps him prepare clients for exactly what to expect in their case.
