Michelle is amazing,
Having to deal with my legal issues was stressful. I don’t know what to expect. When I met Michelle for the first time she was easy to talk to, answered all my questions and explained how things would go each step of the way. She was always available to answer my questions. I feel like she worked really hard to help
the judge understand my situation and took time to write an extensive client report that was helpful and supportive to my case. I often refer her to my friends and family. I hope I never need her again, but if I do I would definitely work with Michelle!

This review is long overdue. A dissolution is an extremely emotional and draining process period. The best thing you can do for yourself and for your child may not just be to get a divorce, but to work with a firm that genuinely cares about your circumstances and will fight tooth and nail for you. I get emotional just reflecting on how much more I got out of my dissolution than I could have ever imagined if it weren’t for Paul, Liz, and Linda. These 3 ARE the light at the end of the tunnel.
Who you work with MATTERS, especially if you’re involved in a high-conflict divorce with children involved. Do what’s best for yourself and your children and retain this firm. I am writing this with tears because of how grateful I am to have these 3 incredible attorneys by my side every step of the way.

Like many other 1099 Employees, circumstances and just plain Life had me trying to clean up 17 years worth of IRS issues. I received Mark's phone number from a friend and have never once regretted it.
His expertise, paired with his ability to effectively explain the what and how of Offer In Compromise Settlements helped prepare me for the long, often slow process of Tax Burden Relief.
Things to note: like the rest of the World, Covid has created challenges for every Sector of life pertaining to dealing with the IRS. Please pay close attention to the initial first (and second) Consultations. The IRS is short on Employees so correspondence will most likely be slower than One would like to think. Don't be afraid to take notes, and PLEASE remember that we are in the midst of a Global Pandemic and remember the hierarchy of Contact seeing as On Site Services and times are altered in lieu of Covid. If your quandary is important, call his cell! If it's a Secondary or Tertiary request- email. Mr. Kell does not waste time with polite call-backs devoid of the answer to your question...but HE WILL call you back and he WILL effectively explain the answer to your question/s.
Do everything he tells you to do as promptly as possible, and rest assured that you have selected the Top Attorney to help you resolve your tax issues with success the closest thing to a guarantee as possible in any Offer/Acceptance situation.
Lastly, YOU MUST convey any pertinent information up front regardless of whether or not you think it matters.
Thanks again Mark, you're an AMAZING ATTORNEY and I can't thank you enough for your services and hopefully future services moving forward.

As a client of Ms. Gahanian, I could have not been more impressed, confident, and satisfied with her knowledge of the law, her “bedside manner”, integrity, speed of response and work, and complete professionalism at all times. In other words, if you need legal assistance with which she can help, she is truly “the total package”.

After a long, exhaustive search which sorely tested any faith I had left in the legal system (and profession), I was blessed to connect with Robert Vosburg. He truly is something I thought I'd never encounter: An empathetic attorney. One who patiently listened to my overwrought tale and then did his utmost to calm me down and let me know that everything would be ok, in the end. And it was, because of him. He is smart, energetic, caring, has a hell of an interesting background...and really knows his stuff. Plus, he does his best to work within your financial means. So — need an attorney? I highly recommend Robert Vosburg. In my book, he's the best.

Sharif is excellent! He is strong in his legal knowledge, knows the court system, great negotiator, and went out of his way to help me in my case. His help was beyond the call of duty as an attorney and I am a fan for life. I cannot discuss the details due to confidentiality, but Sharif showed me he genuily cares for his clients and takes a personal interest in his cases. I highly recommend him and would hire him again if needed!

I've had several experiences with different attorneys that are really hard to reach, Mr. Masri is always available, fully committed and always provides good advice and results.

I will begin by saying that in a time of need of a lawyer Sharif came highly recommended through a friend of mine who is also a lawyer, they had been in law school together and he said Sharif was by far the most brilliant and kind of all his peers,which speaks volumes. I contacted him and he was easy to talk to and approachable. He went above and beyond and even went out of his way to meet me at the time and place of my convenience. I felt at ease immediately and he was empathetic to my situation and needs . I had to leave the country during the process but he still was handling things for me and easy to contact and replied promptly. He is truly a great lawyer but if you’re the Client he is not a shark with you he is your Allie and you never feel cheated or lied to, how often can you say that about a lawyer! He also was fair in pricing/fee , again a simply good man and great lawyer ! It took me 15 years to finally achieve my freedom (divorce that never was finished) true godsend for me. What seemed all these years difficult and complicated due to circumstances he made uncomplicated. I’d hire him again if I need a lawyer and I definitely recommend him to everyone!

Mr. Peterson is an honest and sincere attorney who goes above and beyond for his clients. He provides regular updates on all of our cases and is always available when I need him. In the past we tried other attorney's and no one compares to him and his staff.

Bill Peterson and the MCPY staff took the stress and worry out of pursing our suit. The case involved jurisdictions in Colorado and Indiana. Initially, we attempted to handle the case ourselves. After several months of frustrating calls and emails with the company we were pursing, we retained MCPY.
We elected to meet in person with Bill (rather than virtually) who clearly explained our options and best courses of action. Immediately, MCPY collaborated with their contacts in Indiana and aggressively fought for our family to obtain an expedited and fair resolution.
As a retired police officer and former military, I wanted an honest but aggressive law firm to assist us. If not for the expertise and network of professionals associated with MCPY, we certainly would not have had the positive outcome (especially not as quickly) that resulted from our decision to retain MCPY for our litigation. A sincere THANK YOU to MCPY, Bill and the rest of the staff who helped us.

Kevin handled my husband's bankruptcy as well as mine and he truly cared about us. He was patient and thorough with my husband and his very difficult and time consuming case.

Initially Mr. O'Mara was contacted by myself regarding a collection notice I had received. I wanted to validate the charges and stop the calls while resolving this matter. He gave me advice how to handle the harassment while he reviewed my documents. Finding out all charges were valid he then assisted me in making affordable arrangements with the creditor ----and didn't charge me a dime!!

My daughter was injured at a home improvement store when she was around 10. We held off on settling with the company (under the advice of a different lawyer) as my daughter was taking dance lessons. If we settled at the time of the incident, and something happened to my daughter during dance, we would not be able to blame it on the original incident as the preceding cause of her injuries. So we waited until my daughter was older. Because of the type of injury my daughter received, even though it wasn't severe, she was traumatized enough to cause a series of events to occur for almost 12 years. There were periods of slight depression, anorexia, stomach issues, and unwillingness of going to school. We touched base with the same lawyer over the years, and were advised that my daughter could hold off until she was 17-18 since the accident happened when she was a minor. So we did. Once the end was near for being able to go after the company, we were referred to Sean for assistance. He reviewed my daughter's case, and accepted the challenge to help my daughter. After a couple of months of going between my daughter, and the company where she was injured at, a settlement was reached. My daughter received her payment, using it to purchase her own vehicle, pay the registration/licensing fees, and settle her boarding fees for her horse she got as a gift from family. If it wasn't for Sean, his ambition to help, and his knowledge of cases like my daughter, she would still be hesitant on doing things, because no one else wanted to help her with what happened that day, thinking it wasn't a big deal. But to my daughter, it was a big deal, and Sean believed so too when he met her for the first time. And to this day, 2-3 years after he took on my daughter's case, she still contacts him to say thank you for believing in her.

Mr. Steven Joseph Thompson and his team of attorneys are outstanding and clearly some of the best in the field of Corporate Law, based on our experience with him and his staff. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Mr. Thompson as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. We were given the entire, bigger picture, before focusing on the specifics of our case, which gave us a sound understanding and confidence in Mr. Thompson's ability to pursue our case. I appreciate their office for being approachable, extremely professional and pushing relentlessly for the success of our filing. Personally, I do not feel we could be in better hands, can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended!

Stacy listened to my problem, and was able to provide options for next steps. She also provided her own recommendation. In going through the steps, I completely understood the process, the timeline, my own liability, and the actions and possible outcomes of all parties involved.
Stacy returned phone calls and emails within a day, which is more responsive than any attorney I have worked with previously.
Stacy dealt with more than the issue at hand. She thought and advised strategically, with an eye on future issues.
Overall, I am happy with the outcome of my situation, and would definitely recommend Stacy to other people.

Nat is a sharp, diligent and DEDICATED attorney. He gave me a very quick history on precedents of my legal issue, gave me some options, made recommendations and came up with a plan.
He was instrumental in not only resolving a frustrating experience with my HOA.....but also set the scenario up so that if they *didn't* acquiesce, then we would be in a particularly advantageous position, legally speaking.
Fortunately, that never had to play out, but he was ready to be there.
If you want a lawyer who will listen, take your side, tell you your options and potential/likely outcomes, and is thinking multiple steps ahead of your adversary, and it willing to be generous and judicious with your/his time....then, hire him.

Brian Garmo…..
What to say about Brian! He is not even a great lawyer but, he is an awesome magician who just does some type of magic there in court and everything will come to him in his favor.
What he has done for me, it’s unbelievable. He handles his all the cases in a very professional manner and he is very soft talking.
Because of his overall effort, all my charges were dismissed simply and for this, I think, a single word “THANK” will not be enough.
But as we don’t have much words to say Thanks. I would like to say
“Thanks a lot Brian to make me proud that you were my lawyer and to make my life on track….”
Please keep it up with your awesome services! You have a very great future!!
For others, I would highly recommend Brian. You can have a blindly trust on Brian to make a good decision, what I did!

I contacted Brian back in December 2012 regarding a debt situation in which I had no available means to pay back in full. I was quite nervous, upset, and depressed over this entire situation. But once I sat down with Brian, he assured me that he would do everything he could to help. He really put my mind at ease by explaining the many options that were available in dealing with this problem, and always kept me abreast of what was happening. Brian was able negotiate a settlement of my $30k+ debt for $3k. Simply outstanding!!!! I cannot thank Brian enough for the great work he performed in handling my case. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking the services of a great lawyer.

I met with Mr. Wojton regarding an issue with a car dealership and their unethical financial practices. He advised me that I could handle this matter on my own and went into detail on how to proceed. He also provided information regarding his services, if I felt I needed his assistance.
The free consultation and guidance proved to be worth thousands of dollars in cash and benefits to me! Thank you so much John Wojton :)

Mr. Wojton is an exceptional attorney. He has a wonderful sense of humor while still remaining focused on my case. He has kept me informed through the process. Although my case is still not completely resolved, I have every confidence in Mr. Wojton's ability to obtain the best possible outcome. I have recommended my best friend to him as well. Please, if you need bankruptcy or defaulted student loan help, call this attorney. I could not be more pleased.

Frank handled my case and I have nothing but positive words to express about his services. During the initial consultation, they actually listened to my situation and was empathetic, unlike other attorneys who only want to see if they can make money off your case. He answered all of my many questions and calmed my nerves about the highly stressful matter. Frank genuinely cares about his clients, not just money. As far as fees, he’s extremely flexible, offering payment plans tailored to what you can afford to pay. His rates truly are the best you can find in the area and the quality of this firm is top tier. Once officially retained, he gets right to work on your case/matter and keep an open line of communication if you have any questions or concerns. Frank was especially thorough in making sure I was up to date with any and all changes or updates. He was able to secure a monthly payment plan for my debt which was affordable for me and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! I 10/10 recommend Frank to anyone experiencing any kind of debt lawsuit or matter. He truly advocates your best interest, which is very difficult to find amongst other debt defense attorneys. I could not have made a better decision choosing Graham & Borgese to represent me.

What a Debt Settlement Lawyer Can Do for You
A debt settlement lawyer specializes in helping individuals and businesses negotiate with creditors to reduce or eliminate unsecured debts, such as credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans. These lawyers provide legal advice on debt relief options, represent you in negotiations, and protect your rights under consumer protection laws. By leveraging their expertise, a debt settlement lawyer can often secure more favorable terms than you might achieve on your own, potentially reducing the total amount owed and helping you avoid bankruptcy.
When Should I Hire a Debt Settlement Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a debt settlement lawyer in the following situations:
- Overwhelming Debt: If you're struggling to make minimum payments on your debts or are facing significant financial hardship, a lawyer can help explore options to reduce your debt burden.
- Creditor Harassment: If creditors or collection agencies are harassing you with frequent calls, letters, or threats, a lawyer can intervene to protect your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
- Lawsuits from Creditors: If a creditor has filed a lawsuit against you for unpaid debts, a lawyer can represent you in court and negotiate settlements to prevent wage garnishment or asset seizure.
- Complex Debt Situations: If your debts involve legal complexities, such as co-signers, joint accounts, or disputed charges, a lawyer can navigate these issues effectively.
- Considering Bankruptcy: If you're contemplating bankruptcy but want to explore alternatives, a debt settlement lawyer can advise on whether debt settlement is a better option for your situation.
- Protecting Assets: If you have significant assets you wish to protect from creditors, a lawyer can help structure settlements to safeguard your property.
Hiring a lawyer early can maximize your chances of a favorable outcome and prevent legal missteps that could worsen your financial situation.
What Does a Debt Settlement Lawyer Do?
A debt settlement lawyer provides a range of services to help you manage and reduce your debts:
- Legal Consultation: Evaluates your financial situation, explains your rights, and advises on the best debt relief options, such as debt settlement, debt consolidation, or bankruptcy.
- Negotiating with Creditors: Communicates with creditors and collection agencies on your behalf to negotiate reduced settlements, lower interest rates, or extended repayment terms.
- Drafting Settlement Agreements: Prepares legally binding agreements that outline the terms of the settlement, ensuring that the creditor cannot pursue additional claims once the debt is settled.
- Protecting Against Creditor Harassment: Uses legal tools to stop abusive collection practices and enforces your rights under consumer protection laws.
- Representing You in Court: If creditors file lawsuits, the lawyer can defend you, potentially getting cases dismissed or negotiating settlements to avoid judgments.
- Financial Planning Advice: Provides guidance on budgeting, managing expenses, and rebuilding credit after debt settlement.
- Bankruptcy Alternatives: Helps you explore alternatives to bankruptcy, which can have long-term effects on your credit and financial opportunities.
How Are Debt Settlement Lawyers Paid?
Debt settlement lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Flat Fee: A set fee for specific services, such as negotiating with a single creditor or handling a straightforward settlement.
- Hourly Rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can range from $200 to $500 or more per hour, depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Percentage of Savings: Some lawyers charge a fee based on a percentage of the amount they save you in the settlement. For example, if they negotiate a $10,000 debt down to $6,000, they might charge 25% of the $4,000 saved.
- Retainer Fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts fees as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
- Payment Plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable, allowing you to pay the fee over time.
It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the total cost and ensure it fits within your budget.
How Much Does a Debt Settlement Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a debt settlement lawyer varies based on several factors:
- Flat Fees: May range from $500 to $3,000 per creditor, depending on the complexity of the negotiations.
- Hourly Rates: Typically between $200 and $500 per hour. Total costs depend on the amount of time required to settle your debts.
- Percentage of Savings: Commonly 15% to 25% of the amount saved through negotiation. For example, if your lawyer saves you $10,000, their fee might be $1,500 to $2,500.
- Retainer Fees: Initial retainers can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the anticipated workload.
Additional costs may include:
- Court Fees: If legal action is necessary, such as filing motions or defending against lawsuits.
- Administrative Fees: Charges for copying documents, postage, or other administrative tasks.
Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss all potential costs upfront to avoid unexpected expenses.

- Income and Expense Statements: Provide documentation of your income sources and monthly expenses to give the lawyer a clear picture of your financial situation.
- Credit Reports: Obtain a recent copy of your credit report from all three major bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax).
- Correspondence from Creditors: Bring any letters, notices, or legal documents you've received from creditors or collection agencies.
- Legal Documents: If you've been served with lawsuits, summons, or wage garnishment orders, bring those documents.
- Questions and Concerns: Prepare a list of questions about your options, the debt settlement process, and potential outcomes.
- Budget Information: Be ready to discuss what you can realistically afford to pay toward settlements.
By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
