I couldn’t have asked for a better experience under less-than-ideal circumstances with worker’s compensation. Denise and Conrad were quick to respond when I had questions and explained every step very well. I contacted them after being jerked around by worker’s compensation insurance company for an injury. Denise helped me get more treatment that improved my injury and negotiated a good settlement. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in heartbeat!

I was sued over another person's debt. Mr. Goolsby explained what I had to file to prevent a default judgement, how to add things to the discovery process to prove it wasn't my debt, and what actions by the law firm could violate the FDCPA. I've never had a better experience with a lawyer.

For many years I worked with Joe Crosby as a nurse consultant on medical malpractice cases. I found him to be compassionate, organized, very knowledgeable, a skilled attorney, and determined to achieve success for his clients. Then he represented me in a law suit against me, and we were successful! Being his client gave me extra insight into his legal skills. I have and will continue to refer friends/family to Joe Crosby Law Office. I have total faith in his expertise.

In a difficult time, when I needed to talk to someone, Wanta Thome listened to my story. From the start with the initial intake, and then lawyer Nick Kaylor- they were all patient listeners. I felt valued. Nick explained me possible outcomes in my case. He went through the complicated process and guided me in every steps thoroughly. He always answered my questions promptly even on the weekends. I would recommend Wanta Thome to anyone that needs an employment lawyer.

My girlfriend needed an employment attorney and the reviews seemed overall very good. At my gf's request, I contacted this company and told them to contact her at her number. Imagine my surprise when they contacted me again instead of the number that I gave them. After that, they finally get ahold of her and set up a time for a "consultation" (their words). We get the call on the agreed upon day and it's not a consultation. We, instead, speak with a paralegal, Bernice, who sets up a time to speak with the attorney, who we are told is Nick in about a week. We wait for the agreed upon date, which we were given not a specific time, but instead a window that the call would come in from Nick. Well, we waited and around the end of the window of time, my gf called and was told that Nick would be contacting her soon. He didn't. So my gf called again, now almost an hour after the window of time ended. We spoke with Miguel, who was professional albiet short and not very helpful. He indicated that Nick had some other pressing and thusly could not take our consultation at this time as agreed. My gf inquired as to why we were not given a call to inform us this change. Miguel had no explanation whatsoever. My gf asked when would we be able to speak with Nick and again Miguel was completely inept. We asked to speak to a managing partner and Miguel refused to pass that request along. So, to review, we have waited weeks for a consultation and got blown off with no explanation whatsoever. We can't get confirmation on when we can speak to an attorney or a managing partner. This is easily the most unprofessional and inept law firm I've ever encountered. I get that things happen but communication, professionalism and a willingness to make things right is key.

Wonderful experience. Adam is a very knowledgeable lawyer and hard worker. He always kept in touch, spoke in Layman's terms and guided me in each step. He helped me get compensation after I was rear-ended. The other side tried making my prior, more minor injuries into something big and then tried downplaying this injury, which made me frustrated. Adam didn't let them get away with that, and he believed me. He worked so hard for me and I'm so grateful.

I have been waiting for months for them to work on my case.They also promised me a win, said that they do not take on cases that they lose. Everytime I try to call them I am put on hold for literally hours. The last time I called I asked not to be put on hold, and she said I would never do that, and I was promptly put on hold...AGAIN! They have not gotten back to me in 3 out of the 4 times I called them. Last time we talked, I was told I did not have to call, I could just use the web. Wrong. Their site has no way to contact them other than phone. And now after calling a different lawyer I find that since they started the case, they and only they can finish it. I guess I am just stuck in Limbo.

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.
  6. Will you represent me in court if necessary?
    Confirm whether the lawyer is prepared to handle litigation if needed.
  7. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates and availability.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    A reputable lawyer should be willing to provide testimonials or references.

How to Check the Credibility of a Credit Repair Lawyer

  • Verify Their License: Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state's bar association.
  • Experience and Specialization: Look for a lawyer who specializes in consumer protection and credit repair law.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials: Read reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  • Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) indicates a focus on consumer rights.
  • Disciplinary Record: Ensure the lawyer has no history of disciplinary actions or ethical violations.
  • Ask for References: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a credit repair lawyer, bring the following:

  • Credit Reports: Obtain recent copies from all three major credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax).
  • Documentation of Errors: Highlight inaccuracies or questionable items on your reports.
  • Correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or communications with credit bureaus, creditors, or debt collectors.
  • Identity Theft Records (if applicable): Provide police reports, FTC Identity Theft Affidavits, or other relevant documentation.
  • Financial Information: Be prepared to discuss your current debts, income, and financial obligations.
  • Questions and Concerns: Prepare a list of questions about your rights, the credit repair process, and how the lawyer can assist you.

By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide tailored legal advice to address your credit repair needs.
