If there’s a superpower that goes unnoticed, it’s the ability to make bankruptcy feel like a stroll through the park (albeit a park where you might lose a few assets along the way). Lazaro didn’t just save my life—he gave me a whole new one, complete with a fresh start, a clean slate, and a few laughs when I needed them most.
When I was referred to Lazaro, I was a financial wreck—think Titanic, post-iceberg. But instead of going down with the ship, Lazaro threw me a lifeline. He navigated the murky waters of my finances with the skill of a seasoned captain and the compassion of a trusted friend. He never once made me feel like I was just another case file; I was a person worth saving, and save me he did.
What really stood out was his ability to combine top-notch legal expertise with a healthy dose of humor and heartfelt kindness. I mean, who knew you could laugh and cry your way through bankruptcy? Lazaro did, and those moments of levity were exactly what I needed to keep my sanity intact. He counseled me through every step, reassured me when I was panicking, and somehow managed to make me believe that life after bankruptcy wasn’t just possible—it was going to be better than before.
And guess what? He was right.
Thanks to Lazaro, I’m now on the path to financial recovery, and I’m feeling more hopeful than I’ve been in the last couple of years. If you’re looking for someone who can turn your financial disaster into a new beginning—and make you laugh along the way—Lazaro is your go-to hero. I can’t thank him and Shelley enough, but I can certainly recommend them to anyone who needs a little (or a lot) of help. Trust me, you’ll be in the best hands possible.

We have used the Poniatowski Leding Parikh Law Frim and have known Mark Poniatowski for over 20 years; we are extremely pleased with the legal advise we have received over those years. The staff is professional, easy to work with and dedicated in protecting our interests. Many of the issues we have asked assistance for are outside "credit/collection/recovery law" and the results have been just as successful. Without the help of Mark and his staff, we know that we would not have had the successful outcomes we have had. We certainly appreciate the knowledge and support received through this law firm.

Hale is a true professional. He was always responsive to my questions throughout my 5 year process. I credit him a huge amount with helping me to get through my bankruptcy. I can’t recommend him more highly. Thank you Hale for fighting for me and always being there during the process.
Additionally after my bankruptcy was discharged he continued to help me and speak with the IRS on my behalf at no charge! He is clearly the best representative for his clients! Highly recommend!

Mr. Antico was like Superman for me!
The Price for the Service Mr. Antico provided was EXCELLENT! No complaints! I SAVED a SIGNIFICANT amount of money compared to several other attorneys in the area.
Sure, everyone's financial affairs are different, some people have more assets than others, but I think that I was treated more than fair for all of the work that Mr. Antico performed. With his help (and Call-Blocking from Spectrum Telephone) the BK Process went smooth and trouble free. I strongly recommend Mr. Antico to be YOUR BK Attorney! Thank you Sir!
After our first meeting I realized that I should wait a couple of months before filing my BK because I had received a SMALL (three zero's) insurance settlement within the past year and had given half to my brother to pay an earlier debt.
Mr. Antico explained that the Court could go after the money I had given to my brother and order HIM to pay it back to satisfy the Creditors... and if you know my brother... well, that would be a drama worthy of a Shakespearean tale!
To keep things simple I just waited until the year had passed and then he filed the bk and it went through with NO problems.
Here's another helpful tidbit of info... Mr. Antico's name starts with the letter "A", which means when you go to the BK Court in downtown L.A. (watch out for the human mud on the sidewalks down there - I had to dodge THREE piles in a two block walk!) your wait time to see the Judge is non-existent, as they always start with the "A" Attorneys. I feel sorry for the clients that have to wait for the F to Z last names.
Go with the Best in the Antelope Valley - Go with Mr. Antico!

I found my self in a very difficult position financially due to a bank that made mistakes funding the SBC loan I was approved for. Mr. Zarcone stepped in and did so much more that what was expected to help my family and I. Of course, outcomes are important. But what is equally, if not more important, is knowing that everything was done that could have been done in your case. Mr. Zarcone. cared so much about the our situation, that after our dealings where done, he helped draft a letter to our representatives bringing attention to the issue in the hopes that other families with small businesses don't get treated they way we did. If you think about it, this is not only a good deed of a kind person...but selfless in that it could negatively affect the number of potential clients available to him. What mattered to Mr. Zarcone is that we had qualified and diligent representation. I thank him for that.

In 2021 because of a foot problem My wife had to go out on disability. We contacted our insurance company and they told us she wasn’t covered even though we’ve been paying for for years
I called around the several disability Attorneys. I didn’t get the feeling they cared. Nobody listened to anything about the case. They just said yes they could cover us and told us the fees.
I finally spoke to Bill Reilly at Roboostof. Right from the start, he made me feel comfortable by listening to what our problem was. He gave us some advice on what to do And told us what the process would be
Through the process, he was amazing and helping us understand what was going on And pursuing the matter
we can’t thank him enough for his guidance to this very hard time I don’t know what we would’ve done without his help

Absolutely Incredible service!! They’ve helped with a few tickets I’ve had over the past eight years, including a recent one for my teenage son. I was super concerned about how it would impact insurance with him getting a ticket, but they helped me resolve it more than I thought was possible.
I’ve recommended them to many friends and business clients, at least a dozen in SD and all of whom have been very happy with the results. I’ll definitely continue to recommend them!

I have been very happy with Elizabeth Aronson's office regarding the speed of communication, helpful and friendly staff. Most important she knows how to have cases dismissed . I have repeatedly used her for my son and me to have speeding tickets dismissed on at least 3 different occasions if not more over the years. Highly recommend her for any traffic related tickets. Thank you.

She also did not inform me of many important things like not talking to the insurance claims adjuster who was representing the person that hit me. She did the minimal amount of work for me and did not seem to care at all for my well being. I wish I would have taken the advice of friends in the la area to seek out new representation. If you want a lawyer who is thorough and passionate about your needs do not go to Ms Gorin. Being very unreachable and only being able to communicate to her through her paralegal Karina was very unsettling as well.

The estate planning advice from Maria Jonsson was off-the-charts superb in every way. There were significant complications in previous estate documents (established by a different attorney) that Maria Jonsson detected right away and explained with calm clarity, while also enumerating (in language a layperson could easily grasp) the steps to be taken to set things right. In addition, the entire process was completed far more quickly than we could have anticipated. One couldn't ask for a more personable and friendly guide through the thickets of estate law nuances--a realm certainly not for the faint of heart, but one we were able to navigate smoothly under this attorney's expert guidance. Enthusiastically recommended!

Where do I even begin! From the very first phone call/interaction I had with California Lemon Lawyers (who came HIGHLY recommended) I knew I was in the best hands. The care and efficiency I received is unmatched, to the point where whatever the end result was (which was GREAT!) I felt very at peace and confident because Nick took the time to educate me with so much and gave me the best reassurance and worked around the clock even if it was to let me vent out my frustration. They were all so very respectful and supportive and truly some of the hardest working and honest people I know. They truly care about your individual case and not look at you as just a dollar sign or way to take advantage of you. They take the time to work on your case as it was for their very own family member!
This entire experience with them will stay with me forever!
Can’t thank them all enough!! Very grateful 🙏 THANK YOU!

I hired Bill to help me out with a lawsuit that was filed against me for an old business debt that I, unfortunately, signed a personal guarantee for. Through this difficult process, Bill has helped guide me through the options I have to make this as easy on my family as possible. I have spoken with several other lawyers but unlike those, Bill spent a great deal of time with me and treated me as a client long before I ever signed an agreement. He is full of great advice and knowledge. If you are in the Ventura County area and looking for a solid attorney, definitely give Bill a call.

After having the misfortune of being involved in more than 3 unrelated lawsuits in the last 2 years, I retained Mr. Isherwood to handle my cases.
Mr. Isherwood is an outstanding multifaceted attorney with the ability to quickly understand complex cases already in progress and provide excellent clarity in communicating with his client.
This is not the first time I have had to retain an attorney, but it certainly is the first time I feel I retained an upstanding, highly skilled, responsive, and highly experienced attorney with excellent knowledge of relevant statutes and the ability to quickly respond and stand up to big-money law firms. Scott's ability really helped put my mind at ease.
I won the first 2 cases. As for the third case, it was initially mishandled by another lawyer who was ultimately removed from my case. I again contacted Mr. Isherwood to help understand and clean up the giant mess left behind by the former incompetent attorney as well as help avert a complete catastrophe in my life brought on by a crooked mortgage servicer.
In the courtroom I was amazed by Mr. Isherwood's lightning fast ability recall facts and quickly object to the opposing party. Also, in court he often recalled the facts about my case faster than I did and was able to use these facts to ultimately win my case against a larger lavishly-funded law firm.
They say "Litigation is not a poor-man's sport", fotunately Mr. Isherwood has continually demonstrated a knack for averting long, drawn out and potentially expensive litigation and getting straight to the point.
I have so far used Mr. Isherwood against a fraudulent "restraining order request" which he won, a fraudulent claim for defamation, in which I also prevailed, as well as litigation against a bad mortgage servicer for which he has continued to provide extremely valuable and helpful services that have helped avert multiple catastrophes instigated by much larger large firms and people with deep pockets.
Mr. Isherwood has also been invaluable for general legal advice.

I was going through a very rough time in my life and needed guidance and help right away but wanted the right kind of help. I was able to find Daniel and Deanna and the minute I called to get some information I just knew I found the right people to talk to. I spoke to Deanna first and wow she was just so pleasant to talk to. You can tell she cares and wanted to give me all the right information. She made sure I understood what the process would be. Then met and spoke to Daniel and after that first meeting I felt at ease and knew I was in good hands. I cannot say enough about their professionalism, care, and dedication.
What truly sets them apart is their genuine care for their clients. Daniel and Deanna Higson treated me with respect and compassion, making sure I felt supported throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer my questions and address any concerns, ensuring that I was well-informed and confident in the direction we were taking.
Their attention to detail and expertise in the field were evident in every interaction, and I was constantly impressed by their commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. I highly recommend Daniel and Deanna Higson to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you for everything!

I was referred to another local attorney who couldn’t return my calls efficiently. I searched online for someone else and called. Deanna answered right away and was warm and thorough from the beginning. I set up an appointment and because of the information, I hired him to walk with me through it all. I didn’t feel like just another client. Daniel and Deanna are gems in this field, they got me through the process with the time constraints that I had. They’re both so understanding, professional, caring, accommodating and reasonable. If you’re looking for someone to help you every step of the way then you won’t go wrong hiring the office of Daniel Higson.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes. -
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. -
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). -
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.
- Previous communication with the debtor: Provide copies of any emails, letters, or phone call logs showing attempts to collect the debt.
- Contracts or agreements: Bring any contracts or agreements related to the debt, as they may be critical in proving your case.
- Judgment information (if applicable): If you’ve already obtained a court judgment against the debtor, bring the judgment documents and any enforcement attempts.
-
For Debtors:
- Debt collection letters or notices: Bring any correspondence from creditors or collection agencies, including demand letters and collection notices.
- Payment records: Provide proof of any payments made toward the debt, including receipts, canceled checks, or bank statements.
- Debt validation or dispute documentation: If you’ve disputed the debt or requested validation, bring copies of the dispute letters and the creditor’s response.
- Legal summons or lawsuit documentation: If you’re facing a lawsuit, bring the court summons, complaint, and any legal documents related to the case.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best legal advice tailored to your needs.
