I'm glad I made the decision to hire Kaelyn. Between Kaelyn, Nathalie, and Crystal they have handled every aspect of this entire process of CH. 13 so much easier than I thought. After notifying my creditors of their representation in my case I was still contacted by some of the creditors, and they fought for my settlements against them for contacting me and have received some settlement checks already in my favor. Wonderful job and they really make the process as easy for you as possible. Would definitely recommend

The right attorney does make a difference. Right from the beginning we could tell Ms. Diamond was going to take care of this problem. After asking us just a few questions, she knew exactly what was wrong and she knew just how to proceed. She always answered all our questions patiently and completely and without making us feel like we were dumb or wasting her time. She and her staff kept us informed all along the way. We have been stressing over this situation for years but after finding Kaelyn Diamond, Esq. and Ziegler Diamond Law/Debtfighters, it was taken care of in just a few short months. If you want an attorney who cares and really knows what they are doing, then you need Kaelyn Diamond, Esq.

The paralegals are very professional and my cases were handled with the utmost care. I have several cases with them and two has settled with a nice payout and they are correcting the errors on my reports. At first I was leery that anything would come of these cases but boy was I wrong and I'm glad I was. Kudos to Gary and his entire staff!!!

Mr. Nitzkin and his staff helped me with a credit report issue I was having. My inquiries to the reporting agency were met with either stoney silence or cursory replies that did not address the issue I was having. After Mr. Nitzkin took the case, the reporting agency agreed to fix my credit report to make it accurate, paid Mr. Nitzkin's fees, and paid statutory damages to me. My sole goal going into the case was to have my credit report accurately reflect my history so the money damages obtained were a bonus in my mind. I would highly recommend the firm for representation in credit reporting cases. They were responsive and thorough.

Months ago I was scammed by some rip-offs after my father’s death, they promised to fix my credit score. I told them my entire financial situation and they promised to help me ASAP and I trusted them. They asked me to make an upfront payment of $2000 which I did. I had already made the second payment of $2000 before my wonderful cousin sister who has been beside me through all my ordeals convinced me they were scammers, she later introduced me to a credit guru (Metronet Credit Solution) who had helped her acquire loan in the past. They helped me clear every negative item on my report and boosted my score to excellent within 9days interval; they further helped me to recover my $4,000 from those scammers.

To say McCarthy and his team gave me hope would be an understatement. Hope was something I never thought was possible. My parents divorced right at the time I was to attend an out of state university. On paper, my mom looked “fine” (able to support me according to FAFSA) so I didn’t get much help financially even though she was putting out a lot because of the divorce, having to relocate, etc. so I didn’t qualify for much of any federal loans/ grants. And being in my late teens, early 20s, I didn’t know better than to sign my life away to get the private loan support. Flash forward after graduation, I found a job at a non-profit organization. The work was challenging but rewarding to be able to provide hope to those in need, but financially, like many other jobs out of college and non-profits, it didn’t allow me enough to keep up with the high interest rates and steady incline of my loans. Despite many efforts for financial assistance from the private loan lender, the payments began to exceed my monthly income. I exhausted my forbearance and thought to myself, “This is how my life’s going to be” That’s when I found McCarthy. From the initial contact until the very last contact, they have been eager, humble, receptive, generous, and knowledgeable. To be able to speak to a person, not an automated message or system, but every day people was a treat in itself. They took time to explain me to how I can work towards gaining financial freedom and within a few years and a payment plan (without interest accumulating) I would be able to pay off the loan in its entirety. And not the amount it exceeded to (138k) because of interest, but the amount I took out from the beginning (108K) by negotiating the amount with the private lender themselves. I was able to focus on getting my life back, working the usual course to get promotions without the burden of paying an amount I couldn’t afford. And by having extra in my pocket, it made my job enjoyable again. I was able to give the best version of myself in all aspects of my life because, for once, I didn’t have to worry about “How am I going to make the next payment” The staff were beyond welcoming and remained that light, that beacon in my life since 2015. From Kelly who greeted me with a “It’ll be ok,” from Ali who said “Let’s look at getting a payment plan set up for you” to Joan who said, “I got you and will continue to fight for you” it was something that was not only refreshing, but humbling as well for me. The zeal exhibited by all that work at McCarthy Law is unmatched. I was one of the fortunate ones to say that I am now 100% free of my private loans. 108k settled!! Joan worked real time magic in negotiating my loan amount to where I was able to receive a payment back from McCarthy of all I paid to them over the years, following settlement. They thought that was a blessing, but to me, they were my blessing. To top it all off, Kevin McCarthy reached out to me via mail congratulating me on reaching financial freedom. I just cried when I read it and it remains on my fridge as a reminder to this day. It took me a bit to write my testimony, partly because I’m still in disbelief that I’m free, but more importantly, because I wanted to take the time to write something from my heart, something they touched long ago. I have recommended a few people to McCarthy and would recommend them to anyone who feels stuck, lost, and is experiencing hopelessness as a result of student loans. And just like they did with me, I’ll pay it forward as well.

Awesome, magnificent, brilliant, amazing, remarkable, wonderful, beautiful (even though I have never seen Joan), east coast, just to name a few superlatives to describe Joan. Joan has helped redirect my life in a very positive direction. To be honest, these student loans really put me in a challenging position, and Joan truly helped me overcome this obstacle. Joan definitely exceeded my expectations, and I am very happy to have found McCarthy Law. To be 100% real, there was one moment when I was a little nervous, however, I believed in the negotiation skills of Joan, and she made sure everything worked out better then I could have expected!

It took a few years, I was NEVER pushed further than I could handle, and now its all settled and off my back. I believe they got it to around 56% of the original debt. They have an amazing practice, and reasonably priced if not underpriced for the service you get. Thank you so much!

What could easily have been the most challenging times of my life wasn’t thanks to services provided by Eric and Blanca. I was 3 months into a separation that led to a child custody case when I suffered an injury at work. Initially I was diagnosed with a contusion by Concentra, the clinic working for my employer, I was given Tylenol and released back to work. Anxiety took hold of me like never before. In one hand, the only thing in life I knew to do was work, thinking I have no choice but to return due to the expenses of my child custody case. On the other hand, I knew there was something wrong, so much more than a “contusion,” and I have a responsibility to keep myself healthy for my son/daughter. Days after I was referred to Eric Gritz, I made the call and kept my appointment. Soon after (one week or so) I began to receive temporary disability payouts from my employers insurance company and was referred to doctors who had my best interest in mind (turns out I had fractures in my lumbar). Thanks to Eric and Blanca I was able to focus on my recovery and remained financially stable to support my family and child custody case (in which I was granted custody of my children). Needless to say, I recommend you call. I did, nothing went wrong and there could have been no better outcome for my situation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kim Chandler is an exceptional bankruptcy attorney. She is an expert in bankruptcy law, and she uses her knowledge to help her clients in every way possible. She is kind, compassionate and understanding; and at the same time, she is a fierce defender of who she represents. I always felt she had my best interests at heart. She had my back, and alleviated my embarrassment, apprehension, and fear around the process of filing.....that it was OK. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent me during a very challenging time in my life. An extension of Kim’s expertise and professionalism is reflected in her staff, who are always friendly and upbeat. They make you feel like you are a part of an extended family. I wholeheartedly recommend Kim Chandler and her team; and I would not hesitate to use her services again.

After retiring my finances got out of control and I had to file bankruptcy. This was a scary thing for me to do because I didn't know what to expect. I spent several days calling different bankruptcy lawyers. I called about fifteen different bankruptcy attorneys and was unable to get help from them because they did not have the time to help me and basically rushed me off the phone. At that point I started to give up but I decided to make one last call and that call connected me to Kimberly Chandler. Ms. Chandler answered the phone with such a warm and friendly voice. She greeted me with good evening and asked how she could help me. She spent quality time with me and answered all of my questions. After our first conversation, I knew I had found the right attorney. At my first appointment, I was nervous but her and her staff spent quality time with me to explain all the policies and procedures of bankruptcy and that made me feel very comfortable. During the filing process if I had any questions, her and her staff was always professional and made sure that I understood. I am glad I made that last call and connected with her because after filing it took a big burden off my shoulders and helped me put my life back on track. If you are looking for an exceptional bankruptcy attorney go to her web site and see why so many people like myself are happy they chose her. Thank you Attorney Chandler for helping me put my life back on track.

Robert is the best attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meeting. He answered the phone when I called and always got back to my e-mails. He got some negative items off my credit and got my credit scores from the 500 to over 800 I can actually qualify for a home loan now. He even got me some money to help me pay for my sons collage I cant say enough about how he has changed my life! If you have stuff that might be on your credit that's not your fault, I would say hire this man he's the best!!

Robert is amazing and has the knowledge and expertise necessary to help you. He is fantastic at stopping debt collectors that are conducting intimidating and abusive tactics and performing illegal practices to collect consumer debt. I was injured in 2014, as a result I suffered a financial hardship and couldn't pay my creditors, I had lost everything by 2017, surrendering the last item I couldn't pay and was basically homeless staying with freinds. When I returned to work, working for financial recovery and to gain the basic necessities to survive I was defeated by an attorney of law representing a debt collector because I chose to go it alone without representation, that was in 2020. In 2021, a year later I was served again by the exact same attorney representing another debt collector. I could hardly believe what was going on and felt that the attorney was actively searching my name for debt and wouldn't stop until every penny I had would be theirs and i would be homeless. I had had enough, my only hope this time around would be representation. I called Robert Mitchell's office for help, Robert called me back immediately as he knew that there was no time to waste. He obtained information from me (plaintiff attorney, my credit report and state that debt originated) and a brief history of the debt, he then put my mind at ease and assured me he will be doing all he can to help me. Within a few days Robert found many problems  with the collection lawsuit against me and immediately launched an aggressive countersuit against the plaintiff which not only resulted in a dismissal of the case but a deletion of an erroneous account on my credit report with a substantial monetary settlement in my favor. I was amazed at what Robert accomplished in a short amount of time, as I had only expected a reduction, a wash or dismissal of the case.  In conclusion, i would like to say that if you are finding yourself in a similar situation or something in regards, please don't ignore or hide from it, don't get the feeling you have no where to turn to, I would recommend you call and consult with Robert immediately, he can be your only hope, the winning edge against the illegal practices debt collectors are resorting to.

What bankruptcy attorney doesn't include a broken tenancy lease in a chapter 7 bankruptcy? Unless I'm "mistaken." Perhaps all the money I paid them, (why is there a RED FLAG on the bankruptcy court documents. INDICATING THAT I QUALIFIED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AS A POOR PERSON,) should be returned? ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I COULD'VE RECEIVED A PRO BONO COURT APPOINTED LAWYER, AS I AM AND WAS A SERVICE CONNECTED DISABLED VETERAN DISPLACED FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA 2004 HURRICANE SEASON...ALONG WITH BEING INDIGENT! HOW DOES THAT APPEAR? I WONDER, DOES THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE POLICE AND THEIR INSPECTORS' NOTICE WHEN MR. GRUBEA TRIES TO SOLICIT POTENTIAL CLIENTS VIA USPS?

My case was with a major credit collection agency. At first I thought that I could take the case myself to court, but I can say that it was not the best decision at all. After leaving the first court hearing, I did a google search and found this website. My decision to hire Michael Fine was do to the great reviews. The results were extraordinary, he was able to get a great deal and the case dismissed. I did not expect such an amazing deal to this case, but it was all done in a matter of a few weeks, with no reason to show up in court even once or at his office for that matter. Trustworthy and professional are the two adjectives that best describe Michael Fine. Thank you again for everything Michael.

Mr. Fine really believes in the concept of justice for the maligned. A debt collection agency knew they were breaking the law when they served me but still tried to collect on a deceptively high amount. They would not back down but neither did Mr. Fine. He filed suit in federal court and got me the maximum allowed.

Where other attorneys wouldn't even listen Michael not only listened but had the debt collector settle with me in my case (yes pay me) and drop their suit and erase the debt from my credit report due to all of their mistakes and lack of legitimate back up. If you are being taken to court on a debt whether you think you owe or not call him immeadiately!!!!!

Mr. Dupre was referred to me after I had a terrible time with my former attorney who would not return my calls. I had been getting harassed by a debt collection law firm about a debt that I did not owe, and they were threatening me to take me to court and take money from my bank account and were reporting this on my credit score. My credit was almost perfect before this. Mr. Dupre agreed to help me, and he did an excellent job. He is a straight shooter, sensitive to my feelings, and I am very lucky to have found him. He fought the debt collector and we won. I was really down before I met Mr. Dupre and am thankful to him.

Bankruptcy Attorney, Mr. Rehan Khawaja and his Legal Assistant, Mr. John Walker are professionals who I highly recommend in helping with your legal concerns. Mr. Khawaja from day one of my initial consultation was so very understanding, professional and brilliant at knowing how to help me. He really put me at ease with my situation since I was unsure how most of the process worked. Anytime I needed to speak with Mr. Khawaja, he was immediately available and always willing to explain in detail what I did not understand. What I realized about working with this attorney is that he is extremely proficient in every part of what he does. He did not waste time on any matter and is completely brilliant in his field understanding how the law works. For my 341 meeting, I was completely confident knowing he was there to help represent me. When I noticed other people in the meeting with different lawyers I knew immediately I had chosen the right person as Mr. Khawaja is always highly professional in both appearance and attitude. He is a highly qualified lawyer and I am so THANKFUL he has been able to help me lift the burden of debt from my shoulders so I can breathe. Thank you so very much for all of your help and time!!! I couldn’t believe when I received a letter in the mail stating my bankruptcy was discharged. I had been contemplating bankruptcy for most of my adult life and was always told by others how hard it was to do and how it would not work or be good. I was so nervous and concerned going into this, but Mr. Khawaja made it seem so easy and simple. I am truly amazed by how excellent a lawyer he is. In addition, his legal assistant, Mr. Walker is so knowledgeable, helpful, kind and together these two are the experience you need in order to get through a bankruptcy.

What a Credit Repair Lawyer Can Do for You

A credit repair lawyer specializes in helping individuals address issues related to their credit reports and scores. They are knowledgeable about consumer protection laws, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). These lawyers assist clients in disputing inaccurate or outdated information on their credit reports, negotiating with creditors, and protecting against unfair debt collection practices. By leveraging legal expertise, a credit repair lawyer can help you improve your creditworthiness and financial standing.

Whether you're dealing with identity theft, incorrect reporting, or harassment from debt collectors, a credit repair lawyer can provide legal assistance to ensure your rights are protected and your credit report accurately reflects your financial history.

When Should I Hire a Credit Repair Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a credit repair lawyer in the following situations:

  • Errors on Your Credit Report: If you've identified inaccuracies, such as incorrect personal information, accounts that don't belong to you, or outdated negative items, a lawyer can help dispute these errors with credit bureaus.
  • Identity Theft: If you're a victim of identity theft, a lawyer can assist in removing fraudulent accounts and charges from your credit report and take legal action against the perpetrators if necessary.
  • Unsuccessful Disputes: If you've tried to resolve credit report issues on your own without success, a lawyer can take more formal legal steps to correct the inaccuracies.
  • Debt Collection Harassment: If you're experiencing harassment from debt collectors, a lawyer can enforce your rights under the FDCPA to stop abusive practices.
  • Credit Damage Due to Divorce or Separation: If joint accounts or debts from a former spouse are affecting your credit, a lawyer can help address these issues legally.
  • Complex Legal Issues: If your credit problems involve legal complexities, such as lawsuits from creditors or violations of consumer protection laws, a lawyer's expertise is crucial.
  • Need for Legal Representation: If you're considering suing a credit bureau, creditor, or debt collector for damages due to inaccurate reporting or unlawful practices, a lawyer can represent you in court.

What Does a Credit Repair Lawyer Do?

A credit repair lawyer offers a variety of services to help improve your credit score and protect your financial interests:

  • Analyzing Credit Reports: Review your credit reports from all three major bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax) to identify errors or inaccuracies.
  • Disputing Inaccuracies: File formal disputes with credit bureaus and creditors to correct or remove incorrect information.
  • Negotiating with Creditors: Work with creditors to settle debts, negotiate payment plans, or remove negative entries in exchange for payment.
  • Stopping Harassment: Enforce your rights under the FDCPA to stop unlawful harassment from debt collectors.
  • Legal Action: Represent you in lawsuits against credit bureaus, creditors, or debt collectors who violate consumer protection laws.
  • Identity Theft Resolution: Assist in removing fraudulent accounts and charges resulting from identity theft.
  • Credit Counseling Advice: Provide guidance on managing debts and improving credit habits, although they may refer you to a certified credit counselor for detailed financial planning.

How Are Credit Repair Lawyers Paid?

Credit repair lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:

  • Hourly Rate: Charging an hourly fee, which can range from $200 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
  • Flat Fee: Offering a fixed price for specific services, such as disputing a certain number of items on your credit report.
  • Retainer Fee: Requiring an upfront payment against which services are billed. You may need to replenish the retainer as work progresses.
  • Contingency Fee: In cases where you're suing for damages, a lawyer might work on a contingency basis, receiving a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any recovered amount.
  • Payment Plans: Some lawyers offer flexible payment options to make their services more affordable.

It's important to discuss fees and payment structures during your initial consultation to fully understand the costs involved.

How Much Does a Credit Repair Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a credit repair lawyer varies based on several factors:

  • Hourly Rates: Generally range from $200 to $500 per hour.
  • Flat Fees:
    • Disputing Errors: $500 to $1,500, depending on the complexity and number of items.
    • Identity Theft Cases: $1,000 to $3,000 or more due to the extensive work involved.
  • Retainer Fees: Initial retainers may range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the scope of services.
  • Litigation Costs: If a lawsuit is necessary, costs can increase significantly, potentially exceeding $5,000 to $10,000 or more.

Additional expenses may include:

  • Court Filing Fees: Costs associated with filing legal documents.
  • Administrative Expenses: Charges for document preparation, postage, and other administrative tasks.

Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss all potential costs upfront to avoid unexpected expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Credit Repair Lawyer

  1. What experience do you have with credit repair and consumer protection laws?
    Ensure the lawyer has a strong background in handling cases similar to yours.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure and get a clear estimate of the total cost.
  3. What strategies will you use to improve my credit report?
    Ask about the specific actions they plan to take on your behalf.
  4. How long will the credit repair process take?
    Get an estimated timeline for seeing improvements on your credit report.
  5. Can you guarantee that my credit score will improve?
    Be cautious of any guarantees; reputable lawyers will not promise specific results.
