About Brian
Brian Wheeler built his legal foundation at the University of Oregon School of Law, earning his J.D. in 1992 after completing a B.A. in political science at Southern Oregon University in 1987. He joined the Oregon State Bar the year he graduated law school and won admission to the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, establishing the credentials that would support a long career in consumer-facing practice.
He launched his own practice in 1994 under the name Brian Wheeler, Lawyer At Law. The office has been a steady presence for clients seeking relief through bankruptcy and related services. He has maintained an active role in Oregon’s legal community while running a small practice, balancing casework with volunteer efforts and professional association involvement.
Wheeler’s work converges on consumer bankruptcy matters. He represents individual clients in state and federal proceedings and guides people through the procedural steps that bankruptcy entails. His practice emphasizes practical problem solving. He aims to make the process understandable for clients who often encounter the courts under stressful circumstances.
Outside paid work, Wheeler has volunteered at the Legal Aid Services of Oregon bankruptcy clinic since 2010. The clinic work puts him in direct contact with low-income individuals seeking debt relief and counseling. He has also been a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys since 2014, a professional affiliation that connects him with peers who focus on similar case types and developments in bankruptcy law.
His standing with the Oregon State Bar has been continuous since 1992. That longevity reflects a steady practice rather than a series of moves between large firms or public offices. He maintains his registration in state and federal courts and handles filings and appearances that require that dual admission.
Clients and colleagues describe Wheeler as pragmatic in the courtroom and methodical in preparation. He keeps case files and deadlines tight. He prefers clear explanations and realistic options over legalese. The practice operates from the firm name he established in 1994 and continues to serve individuals in Oregon seeking bankruptcy relief and related assistance.
