I was recently represented by Jessica at the Holland Law Firm in a collection lawsuit defense. From the process of booking a consultation, to that first meeting itself, and all the following communication and time in court, my experience was wonderful. It was overwhelming to be presented with a summons and then research the case, trying to figure out how--or even if--I should defend myself. The ease of the intake process as a client helped during my rattled state in the early days of the lawsuit, and the Holland team put my mind at ease with realistic projections of what might happen if I took various paths in the lawsuit. They were able to quickly identify steps that needed to be taken, which was good since this was a "large" case with more complicated case law than standard/smaller claims. On top of that, they were able to get the plaintiff to drop their case altogether! Best possible outcome. Easily the best money I ever spent was in securing their representation; their professionalism and knowledge saved my mental health, my finances, and gave me hope after I'd given up.

John and his team where extremely amazing. I am so glad that I went with his firm for my case. He alleviated the anxiety I was experiencing prior to filing for a Ch.13 bankruptcy by making the process extremely smooth and updating me of my case every step of the way even when I had to move from Washington to San Diego. If I had questions he would respond back to my emails the same day, if not, within minutes of me sending the email on business days. I would 110% recommend John Shultz and his team for anyone looking to consult bankruptcy matters..

From the get go, the Whitney Law Firm gave me precise instructions on how to handle my case. I purchased a car online from a dealership in Maryland ( I'm from California). They hid a major mechanical flaw, making the vehicle worthless. I was guided to Whitney for representation. Before even representing me, they told me where to file a case with the Maryland MVA. It took a few months, but the MVA found in my favor. Dan Whitney Jr. stepped in at that point, took over, and reclaimed every dime I had spent on this endeavor, even getting my legal fees back. Dan is a man of his word. Everything he told me came to pass, & I could not be happier. I highly recommend the Whitney Law Firm, & I would not hesitate to use them again. Top shelf people & business.

I moved to Houston in April, and my welcome was " being hit from behind, while at a red light ". I was recommended an attorney that would later prove to have absolutely no integrity leaving me no choice accept to release him and search for a new attorney. Best decision I ever made was to retain Attorney Todd White! His demeanor is a quiet one, not to be mistaken for weakness. Mr. White showed me great and immediate assistance. His staff definitely represents him well. My experience with his employees was one that made me feel like a family member. Warm ,caring and professional. Mr. White was able to pick up where the other attorney left off from and literally resolved my case in less than 30 days! And is currently still fighting for MORE! If you need a sincere and trustworthy attorney, I highly recommend him! Also, while going through a rough spot, Mr. White allowed me to vent, without charge. Lol. Boy, did I vent, while he showed me compassion as he listened. That is a quality is one that not all Lawyers possess when it's only about money. Thank you Mr.White!

Any parent or person involved in a situation of divorce/custody understands how stressful and frustrating the whole process can be. This firm from the very beginning in consultation through to completing my case just made the whole process a lot less painful. I never did not know what was going on or where we were at in the process. As a father I appreciate the collective efforts and hard work of everyone in this office very much. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of representation that cares and fights for their clients.

Not sure why Mr. Richardson has so many highly rated reviews?%$#@. The first clue something was wrong was when he rarely contacted his client, and when he did it was via TEXT messages, instead of phone calls! When called he rarely, if ever, made himself available and his assistant never had answers for what Mr. Richardson was doing in regards to the case and wouldn't even send documentation on billing when he dropped client with no prior warning a week and a few days before hearing. This man, and his office staff, took money for a job and did little to nothing, even worse tried up very valuable time in a child custody case for over 6 mos. If he is a man who truly cares about ALL of his clients, then he would have taken 5 mins to explained over the phone why he would no longer represent his client and more importantly, he would have done that 6 MONTHS AGO NOT the week before a hearing! Do your homework before hiring this man, get EVERYTHING in writing, and research perhaps more professional lawyers in your area. Not everyone has deep pockets of $$$ to waste on insensative lawyers, especially single moms:(((

Lauren Fair has been an incredible advocate for my children and I as my attorney. Having her representation gave me immediate peace of mind and security during the most difficult times. Lauren is so very experienced and knowledgeable in her work and also the realities of the flawed family court system. She always took time to explain and respond to me and made me feel supported and understood while giving me valuable information and expectations for the outcome. Additionally, she is incredibly compassionate, understanding and patient too. In Lauren Fair I found an ally and a super intelligent, calm, honest, and ultra competent representative. Additionally, her office is full of genuinely kind, whip smart and helpful people; Alex, Jorah, and Samantha are amazing. Divorce, custody and support issues are very stressful and difficult to navigate and Lauren Fair and her team are truly the best and I highly recommend.

My experience with Mr. Cadora was about 10 years ago but I am still smarting . On a positive note when I needed a copy of the divorce that I got during my time with him his receptionist sent it to me. This was about 2 years ago. Thanks to that kind receptionist. That was nice! How good is Kevin Cadora? Well I've never used a divorce attorney before but the experience was a six month nightmare due more to my wife's attorney who lied like a rug than Mr. Cadora . My ex lied on the declaration. I remember his paralegal at the time Heather said "Kevin is great on dealing with lies of the opposition" and my wife's lie's ruled the day. I got keel hauled I feel in the end It might have been the pre nup before I got married. Pay up and get a killer one. Because Mr. Cadora might have done his best with a horrible pre-nup. I'd say this review is more about the prenup than anything. If you have assets pay $5,000 or whatever it takes to keep the Roman Legions from breaking it down. My pre-nup was done by some guy named Courtney in Springfield Mo and it turned out to be worthless. Yes my wife lied but shouldn't a prenup protect you against lies? And if you are divorcing someone and want blood use a ruthless brutal lying attorney like my wife used. I may be juding Fair Cadora too harshly. I mean if your wife lies, she's poor and you have money you're in real jeoprady. In short GO OVERBOARD ON THE PRE-NUP. Kevin Cadora seems honest and if anything he's got a lot of clients because he must be good and well recommended. If you get married PROTECT YOURSELF because your spouse can lie like a rug. Mine did and I paid for it. Even if you have a GREAT attorney ( Maybe Cadora is great) dont be cheap on the Pre-nup ADDENDUM. If you get married in a state like Missouri where I got married, DO NOT TAKE YOUR SPOUSE TO CALIFORNIA IF YOUR MARRIAGE IS NOT HEALTHY. The California legal system is horrible. The whole system stinks like a cess pool. Again I am NOT saying terrible things about Mr. Cadora. He did his best. But in California, at least in San Diego, they don't seem to care a rat's butt about the truth. I can NOT figure out why they don't use polygraph tests there?? I mean had my wife had one she would have gone down like the Titanic. I think had I been in Missouri (where I got married) and NOT in California (where I got divorced) I would have been OK. But heaven help you if YOU have assets in Cali and your spouse doesn't. You could be in for a torturous procedure.

We found Nancy thru an online search for a bankruptcy lawyer in Iowa when the economy forced my job to reduce hours and do every other week on unemployment. We were struggling then to make ends meet and then my wife also lost her job due to a company re structuring. When that happened there was no possible way to keep Hanging on or to make ends meet. Even tho we know we frustrated Nancy with our questions and understanding of the process she patiently answered our questions and repeated things to us that we missed seeing. It was due to her diligence and her argument for us to have the ch7 that ensured we got it and received some help and much needed relief and we will be forever grateful. You can not go wrong In hiring her as your lawyer. She has extensive knowledge and many years of experience and if it is possible For her to help you she will. She is reasonably priced for her time and expertise and In fact is cheaper than many less experienced attorneys.

I was referred to Mr. Skaar by another attorney. I spoke several times with Mr. Skaar about a wrongful garnishment case that I had. He instructed me to get documents from the court, which I did. I let him know that I got what he asked for, and then he ghosted me! No further communication at all! No email, no return phone call. Nothing! I was willing to jump through the necessary hoops, and obviously pay for his services, and he never once got back to me. Maybe he couldn't help? If that was the case, he could have had the decency to let me know instead of ghosting. I had hope that I finally found an attorney to handle this ridiculous case, but apparently I was wrong.

I cannot say enough good things about Lance Owens & the OMG law firm. He is a remarkable attorney - knowledgeable, professional & very kind. He handled two difficult family situations for us & both times, he was in our corner all the way. Often times I needed clarification for my own peace of mind & he provided that. He never left us out of the loop & whether it was an email or a phone call, he stayed in contact with us. His staff are good bunch of folks, warm & down to earth. I wholeheartedly recommend Lance & his team.

My wife and I had been talking about getting our will done for years. This year was the year we got it done, and Tyler with McNeice Wheeler was fantastic. We scheduled a phone call with him due to COVID and was patient as we worked out the three way calling between my office, his office, and my wife at home. He gave a high level overview of the process and conversation we were going to have, then filled in some of the details, and then walked us through each step asking us questions about what we wanted and what our goals were. We had a less than typical case and he recognized that a traditional will was not the best option and helped us set up a trust. He asked lots of questions and allowed us to as well. It was a very collaborative process. He had the documents drafted and sent to us quickly. Due to an error on our end, we didn’t realize we had them for a few days, but when we realized it, we reviewed the drafts and were happily surprised at the small details included that we had never thought of. He was patient with our (mostly mine) several emails asking questions and requesting clarification and answering hypotheticals. Once we were satisfied, we scheduled a convenient time for us to go in and sign. They had everything ready and laid out in the conference room with the necessary witnesses and notary (all socially distanced of course!) and made it super easy to pop in, sign, and continue with the rest of our errands that day. If you need your estate planning done, or any legal support, McNeice Wheeler deserves your attention.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible service I received from this lawyer in both my family court case related to child support and my Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) case in New Jersey. From start to finish, this lawyer was nothing short of exceptional. They demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my case, showing deep knowledge of family law, and a compassionate approach that made navigating such a challenging time much easier. In my child support case, this lawyer was meticulous in gathering all the necessary evidence and presenting a compelling argument. They fought hard for what was rightfully owed to my child, ensuring that I received the support I deserved. It was clear that they were well-prepared, understanding the complexities of the law and how it applied to my specific situation. Additionally, in my TRO case, this lawyer was a fierce advocate, and I felt completely supported. They understood the gravity of the situation and worked quickly to ensure my safety and well-being. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I won both cases and was able to move forward with peace of mind. I am so thankful for this lawyer’s tireless work, professionalism, and support throughout the entire process. I truly believe they went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for me and my family. Honestly, I’d give them my firstborn if I could—such is my gratitude and trust in their abilities. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you and deliver results, look no further. Highly recommended!

I found Peggy after googling and reading about 100+ reviews. She was very helpful in making everything very straightforward and simple. Many times I wanted to put super specific language in there to address potential fears of mine but 99% of the time, they were items that weren't enforceable, were already covered by law, or were things she encouraged I keep a more open mind about. She spends a ton of time in the courtroom, is familiar with all the Cook County judges, and has decades of experience so I appreciated how black and white she made things. Peggy is very direct and concise. In our initial interview, she cut me off a time or two because I was apparently talking more than listening. At first, I was turned off by it (even though it was true lol) but I immediately saw it as an advantage with opposing counsel and I was 100% correct about that. If you're a person who likes control or is long-winded and isn't used to constructive feedback, consider this an opportunity to work on that because I actually quickly grew out of the experience. She has only 100% of your best interest at heart and I could tell that during the interview. She was also very personable, and I really appreciated how well she could relate to my situation. We had several really good discussions not only as attorney/client but also as single parents; she's further ahead in this process than me and really opened my eyes in a few areas (*cough* giving them mobile phones when they get older *cough*). As a techie, I was looking for more digital redlining, PDF editing etc but we did most everything via email modifications. It ended up being ok and made it super easy for me to search for emails with any changes that were made. She's always available via text but please don't misuse that or else she'd never have time to get things done; she (or her paralegal) is super responsive via email as well. Cost-wise, pay the flat fee upfront and you will save $10K minimum easily and my situation was pretty straightforward and easy in comparison to most people. I had a great experience and outcome in my divorce proceedings and would recommend Peggy to handle things.

What a Debt Collection Lawyer Can Do for You

A debt collection lawyer helps individuals and businesses navigate legal matters related to debt collection. Whether you’re a creditor seeking to recover unpaid debts or a debtor facing aggressive collection actions, a debt collection lawyer can provide valuable assistance. These lawyers help creditors pursue legal action to collect overdue debts and ensure compliance with debt collection laws. On the debtor’s side, they help defend against unlawful collection practices, negotiate repayment plans, or file for bankruptcy if necessary.

If you’re dealing with a debt collection issue, a lawyer can ensure your rights are protected and work toward a resolution that aligns with your financial or business needs.

When Should I Hire a Debt Collection Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a debt collection lawyer if you are facing any of the following situations:

  • For Creditors:
    • Unpaid debts: If you’re a creditor (such as a business or individual) with unpaid invoices, loans, or accounts receivable, a lawyer can help you pursue legal action to recover the debt.
    • Debtor refuses to pay: When a debtor is unwilling or unable to make payments, a lawyer can assist with filing lawsuits, securing judgments, and enforcing those judgments to collect the debt.
    • Negotiating repayment plans: If you’re willing to work with a debtor to arrange a payment plan, a lawyer can negotiate and draft a legally enforceable agreement.
    • Legal representation in court: If a debtor disputes the debt or countersues, a lawyer can represent you in court and ensure your legal interests are protected.
    • Securing liens or garnishments: A lawyer can help you secure liens on a debtor’s property or garnishments on their wages to recover the owed debt.
  • For Debtors:
    • Facing debt collection lawsuits: If you’ve been sued by a creditor or collection agency, a lawyer can represent you in court and help you defend against the claim or negotiate a settlement.
    • Debt collection harassment: If creditors or debt collection agencies are harassing you or violating your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a lawyer can help stop the harassment and potentially sue for damages.
    • Negotiating debt settlements: If you owe a significant amount of money but want to avoid bankruptcy, a lawyer can negotiate with creditors to reduce the total amount owed or set up a payment plan.
    • Disputing a debt: If you believe a debt is incorrect or have been wrongfully targeted by debt collectors, a lawyer can help you dispute the claim and provide evidence to resolve the matter.
    • Bankruptcy options: If your debts are overwhelming and you’re unable to repay them, a debt collection lawyer can help you explore bankruptcy as an option for debt relief.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help you protect your financial interests and avoid escalating legal issues.

What Does a Debt Collection Lawyer Do?

A debt collection lawyer provides a variety of services depending on whether they are representing the creditor or the debtor. Their responsibilities often include:

  • For Creditors:
    • Filing lawsuits: A lawyer can file a lawsuit against a debtor who has failed to pay what they owe. This includes preparing and submitting legal documents, representing you in court, and pursuing judgments.
    • Negotiating settlements: If the debtor is willing to settle, the lawyer can negotiate a payment arrangement or reduced settlement that ensures you recover some or all of the debt.
    • Securing judgments and enforcement: After obtaining a court judgment, a lawyer can help enforce it through methods like wage garnishment, bank levies, or property liens.
    • Reviewing contracts and agreements: A lawyer can review your contracts and lending agreements to ensure that they comply with the law and are enforceable if a debtor defaults.
  • For Debtors:
    • Defending against debt collection lawsuits: If you’re being sued by a creditor, a lawyer can challenge the lawsuit, dispute the debt’s validity, or negotiate a more favorable settlement.
    • Stopping harassment: If debt collectors are using unlawful practices to collect a debt (such as threatening you or contacting you excessively), a lawyer can intervene and protect your rights.
    • Negotiating debt relief: A lawyer can negotiate with creditors to reduce the total amount of debt you owe or develop a manageable payment plan that suits your financial situation.
    • Disputing inaccurate debts: If a debt is not valid, a lawyer can help you gather evidence to dispute the claim and prevent further collection actions.
    • Filing for bankruptcy: If your debts are overwhelming, a lawyer can advise you on whether filing for bankruptcy is the best option and help you through the process.

How Are Debt Collection Lawyers Paid?

Debt collection lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways depending on the complexity of the case and whether they represent a creditor or debtor. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many debt collection lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and the case’s complexity. Hourly fees are common when the lawyer is representing either party in litigation or negotiation.
  • Contingency fee: For creditors, some lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover the debt. Their fee is typically a percentage of the recovered amount, usually ranging from 20% to 40%.
  • Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract, drafting a demand letter, or defending a straightforward debt collection lawsuit, a lawyer may charge a flat fee.
  • Retainer: For larger or ongoing cases, a lawyer may require a retainer fee ranging from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity of the case and the expected duration.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation and understand the total cost of their services before proceeding with your case.

How Much Does a Debt Collection Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a debt collection lawyer depends on whether you are a creditor or debtor, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Most debt collection lawyers charge between $150 and $500 per hour. Complex cases involving litigation or large amounts of money may result in higher legal fees.
  • Contingency fees: If the lawyer works on a contingency basis, they typically charge between 20% and 40% of the recovered amount. For example, if you recover $10,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer would take $3,000.
  • Flat fees: For simpler services like drafting a demand letter or responding to a debt collection lawsuit, flat fees may range from $500 to $2,500, depending on the work required.
  • Retainers: For larger or ongoing cases, a lawyer may require a retainer fee ranging from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity of the case and the expected duration.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to avoid surprises and ensure that the services fit your budget.

Top Questions to Ask a Debt Collection Lawyer

Before hiring a debt collection lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with debt collection cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether you’re a creditor or debtor.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, on a contingency fee basis, or a flat fee, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Debt collection cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last, from filing the claim to recovering the debt or resolving the dispute.
  5. What are my legal rights?
    Ask the lawyer to explain your rights as a creditor or debtor, including protections under laws like the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
  6. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Debt Collection Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable debt collection lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for debt collection experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in debt collection law and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and ability to handle debt collection cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on debt collection matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for certifications or memberships in organizations like the National Creditors Bar Association (NCBA) or other relevant associations that focus on debt collection law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a debt collection lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • For Creditors:
    • List of outstanding debts: Bring a detailed list of the debts owed to you or your business, including invoices, contracts, or other supporting documentation.
