Debbie sat dow.man with us and made us truly feel welcome. We did not feel intimidated or less than while delving through our most private financial situations. We have a plan in place and feel truly confident with it. She is definitely a Godsend!!!!!

A year later and Mrs. Debra is still working just as hard as day one for us. She is the most caring, honest, and loyal attorney I’ve ever met. Her staff knows exactly what’s going on and can answer a lot even in Mrs. Debras absence. We are so blessed God pointed us in her direction. She has helped us in so many ways that we can never truly repay her. THANK YOU!!
We recommend her to everyone.

Attorney McLendon was a pleasure to work with for my court case. He is professional, timely and puts in the extra effort to get the required task completed. My court case was a long process but he made it flow smoothly with his professional performance!

I received a traffic ticket worth fighting in late 2019 in DeKalb County. I wasn't aware how difficult a ticket would be to fight in DeKalb traffic court, so I got in touch with Louis after getting nervous after the arraignment hearing. Louis was extremely knowledgeable about the DeKalb Traffic Court, and he helped me navigate the entire virtual court process (that took over 3 YEARS because of COVID-19 delays). I am so grateful Louis was able to help me avoid points on my record, save my NOLO and reduce my ticket to a points violation. In my virtual pre-trial zoom call, he was incredibly professional and prepped me on what to expect with the proceedings. I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone struggling to fight a ticket! Thank you Louis for finally helping me settle this headache.

Mr. McLendon is a patient and eloquent attorney who is well-informed and very capable in his expertise. He explains things for very clearly and makes sure you are informed every step of the way as well. I felt totally at ease with him handling my mom’s traffic incident. He even was on the phone with my mom to walk her through the process of paying her fine when all was said and done. I so appreciate him for that. I will gladly retain his services when needed again and recommend him highly!

The process of filing for Chapter 7 was very intimidating at first. However, Andy and his team at Nguyen Law Group were incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. At no point did I feel like I was being taken advantage of or misled in any way, which was a fear I had after dealing with questionable attorneys in the past. Andy and his team ensured that everything went smoothly from beginning to end. Thank you, Nguyen Law Group, for all your help and support.

We were referred to Andy by an old coworker. Andy from the start was very helpful and understanding. He was very thorough and transparent with the process. My husband and I never thought of filing for bankruptcy ch. 7. But after speaking with Andy and Tracy going through it all I don’t think we would have been as relieved and happy as we were with Andy Nguyen. We can now have a fresh start to our lives and peace without the burden of the debt. Thank you for everything!

I was experiencing an unfortunate financial hardship, after attempting to solve it myself through unsuccessful debt consolidation. I reached out to the “Financial Relief Law Center”, and was greeted by Victor Ugarte who was understanding and supportive from the start. Victor answered all of my questions and calmed all of my concerns through the whole process. After reviewing my information attorney Amanda Billyard discussed with me the best course of action, and guided me through my court appearances. Financial hardships are extremely stressful, but with the support, understanding and professionalism of Victor and Amanda the whole experience was made easier.
Thank you!

My wife and I had a business go under in 2019. Carolyn treated us with respect and told us everything we needed to do, to file our business bankruptcy. She took away the guilt we were feeling by being so supportive and sweet. Her assistant Sam, guided us through every step that we needed to follow for the trustee. Because we had so much debt from the business, we also had to file personal bankruptcy. Again Carolyn and Sam were there to explain everything and guide us through the process. They were always there to answer our questions. Carolyn even called us back to answer our question while she was on vacation in another country. How many lawyers would do that? Both bankruptcies went smoothly because of Carolyns' expertise, efficiency and knowledge. We recommend Carolyn Secor to everyone who needs an efficient lawyer who treats you like family and will get things done . She makes an uncomfortable situation comfortable. Thank you so much Carolyn we appreciate you getting us through this difficult time, Ron & Cory.

It’s very difficult to find professionals this bright, articulate, knowledgeable and at the same time outstandingly kind. Mr. Fleysher is an amazing lawyer who runs circles around the completion in knowing the law, being straightforward, respectful and honest with clients during the one of most difficult and emotionally frightening times in their lives. I immediately felt better after talking to him because he is a so smart, and an unusually genuine and warm person who converses in a direct professional manner and stays focused and interested In the conversation, answering every question, He does not answer his phone or going off on tangents, he’s with you 100%. II feel very grateful to have found him and his firm. 10 stars out of 10..

Brant was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! I reached out to Brant's office after being sued for an extremely old credit card debt. The debt was not a large amount and although I requested and was willing to pay for a consultation and assistance, Brant acknowledged this was a matter that could easily be handled without a lawyer by myself. He then took the time to provide advice, answer all of my questions, and provide suggestions to help solve my problem. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and likeable. Without a doubt, I would reach out to Brant again and will do so for any future matters and I would highly recommend his services to anyone!

I spoke in person with Brant Hodyno, he was personal, attentive non-judgemental and above all very honest and yet kind, which was exactly what I need it
He told me that there was really not much he could do in my case due to my specific circumstances, but he gave me free advice about how to handle it, I fallow it and the result was positive. Thank you very much you help me to save my house, God bless you Mr. Hodyno

Kristopher Childers and Brant Hodyno were very helpful on dot on what i was looking for.
I came with an issue related to a civil case, went to multiple people and they all talked which wasn't related directly in my situation and made me more nervous.
Brant was in middle of a client meeting, then also picked my phone and told me text him with contact details. I like the professional way of ack. someone. His counterpart/expert contacted me back in less than an hour.
Kristopher Childers - heard me, understood my situation. He didn't go on and on rather asked to produce certain case copies to find out where we stand. He understood and explained what needs to be done with guidance to avoid falling in to such situations.
I am a professional in IT field, I like the way they worked with me respecting time of all the parties. Already referred them on my company referral board.
Guys, keep doing the great work!!!

I cannot express my gratitude enough to the Law Office of Ryan B. Stern! My selling point after calling a few attorneys in the area, is that Ryan not only took the time to patiently listen to the sypnosis of my situation, but actively asked clarifying questions and immediately delivered a winning game plan to my case —and it was! The reason I chose him is because many of my other preliminary attorney phone calls were more interested in discussing fees and costs rather than my case. Ryan was beyond reasonably priced and so heaven-sent for what was otherwise an incredibly stressful time. Thank you, Ryan for being an invaluable legal resource to the members of your community. Incredibly appreciative and thankful for your wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise. I definitely consider myself a lifetime client if and for any future legal needs.

I had something pop up out of the blue, where my wages and/or income tax refund was about to be garnished. I called him up because of his other reviews on here, and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Without any questions or sales pitch, he got straight to the point and gave me advice on the matter while also pointing out other avenues I could explore (potentially saving me hundreds of dollars).
Hopefully the matter will be resolved, but if not I will definitely be hiring him! Thanks Ryan, appreciate it!

Adam provided exceptional guidance and support as I dealt with a lemon law case on my vehicle. He provided thorough communication throughout the process, including persistent follow ups from a manufacturer that was dragging their feet. Given his experience in this area of law, it was reassuring to have someone so knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with these types of situations. The bottom line is that you can trust Adam to get the job done.

Outstanding Service with an Excellent Outcome. If you need an Attorney – Adam is your guy. I had an issue with my new vehicle. The OEM was absolutely no help. Even though they have the following statement on their website. “Make XX your first choice when you need help with your XX vehicle - give us the opportunity to earn your trust and maintain your confidence”.. That’s a lie. They gave me every excuse to delay, mislead, told me they would help – That went on for 6 months. It’s all a lie. I was trying to be a nice guy and give them a chance. Don’t waste your time. Get Adam involved, after I got Adam involved things started to move along – It will take time – But the results will be outstanding. Within 6 months after getting Adam involved, we got a very nice settlement. Adam is extremely responsive – The second I would email or call Adam I received Answers.. There was no delay at all. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you, Adam

I had a concern about a credit card issue that a judgement for it was issued that was never brought to our attention. I google subject to find out options and came across Greg's info. I sent an email to him asking for advise. Not only did he give advise but took it upon himself to investigate further and was able to come up with a solution. He did this on his own time and did not accept compensation. What attorneys today do that? Speaks volumes.

I cannot stress that if you have any issues with a debt collector whether it’s your debt or not yours Mr. Artim is the go to guy. If I ever have an issue again he will be the first person I contact.

I’m so grateful for Arthur Lebedin & his law firm. They helped my son & I settled his student loan. Everything they said they would do, they did. Katherine handled our case, I can’t say enough about her. She answered all our concerns & was very supportive. She understood the stress we were under & promised results. She went above & beyond. We received a settlement amount that was considerably less than the full balance. Finally after years of struggling we are free from these crippling loans!!! Forever thankful.

Saw this law firm online and based on good reviews, I contacted their office and Atty Lebedin called me outright and had given me consulatation for free. I went to his office and Atty Arthur was so gracious listening to my woes with regards to my credit card debts. He’s very knowledgeable of what he does and very professional. Atty Arthur Lebedin and all worked hand in hand as a team to make things right for me sooner than I thought. I paid almost just 1/3 of my debt or $9,200+ discount from the original amount Im supposed to pay! So grateful to be represented by this amazing lawyers esp to Atty. Arthur Lebedin & Atty Stephannie Miranda. My case was resolved in no less time. Needless to say, their professional fees are reasonable and fair. Highly recommended lawyers/law firm. What a relief on my part for this settlement that they negotiated on my behalf.

Dennis Sargent was amazing from the get go. He was patient with me, making sure I had all the details of my seperation agreement finalized before proceeding to file for bankruptcy. He was very prompt with responses and utilized a lot of online tools to help facilitate an easy process. Having to go through a divorce and file for bankruptcy was very hard, stressful and emotional but Mr. Sargent was very clear in explaining each step of the process and how to obtain all the documents and information he needed to best help me. He made me feel so at ease and confident that I was making the right decision in filing for bankruptcy. Top class gentleman and attorney . Highly recommend.

I was charged with a show cause for breaking a peace bond. I honestly had no idea what I had done to break the complainant's peace since I purposely had nothing to do with her and I had moved over 100 days after she made the complaint. Jason took my case and worked diligently to discover the reason. He found that the reason was unjustified. In court, Jason discredited the complainant and found that everything she said was untrue and the case was dismissed. Jason was very understanding of my mental state as I dealt with this trying time. He was compassionate and he and his team reassured me often that I had nothing to worry about. He definitely proved in court that justice and honesty always wins. I highly recommend Jason Miyares for any legal advise or representation you need.

I had a very complex matter regarding my drivers license and the MVA due to legal circumstances . After consulting several local “big time” firms they all said the same thing- “you won’t be able to drive..it’s not going to happen...get used to Uber..etc” I approached Monica and never hesitated in her optimism to get the job done and navigate the brutal MVA hearing/rules process. When everyone else said “no” Monica said “yes” and now I am back on the road moving forward with my life. And on top of everything Monica didn’t charge me what the “big guys” were trying to charge for services. I am truly thankful

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. I’m very grateful for their help. I strongly recommend them to any person in need of credit fix, fund recovery, bitcoin recovery. Are you tired of been scammed Contact them via

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.
