Working as a Realtor and being a homeowner I have learned just how important a great trust is to a family. Steven Bates is someone who knows his craft and keeps his clients from having headaches on top of heart ache. I do not hesitate to refer Mr Bates to our clients when they need legal advice of this nature. He has done workshops to educate our home owners on the value of trusts and why they are important.

Mr Bates is a very professional attorney, with 40 years of experience managing client's estates, and my wife and I were delighted to have him set our affairs in proper legal order so that we did not have that concern to face in our future. In addition to being an expert at his practice, Mr. Bates is one of the nicest, most honest and considerate persons that we have ever had the pleasure of conducting business with!

My experience with this law firm has been a great one. They exceeded my expectations in many ways, everyone was so helpful and so upfront. The communication was on point, from Emma at the front desk to Payam Soliemanzadeh who was the attorney helping me. Through the whole process I felt I was in good hands and I truly recommend CPIA. When I needed medical attention no hesitation what so ever to take care of me. Hope this review will help you see the type of people who work at this Lawfirm. 👍🏽

I was the executor for a family member's estate, it was my first time as an executor and I lived 7 hours away from Modesto, so I was uncomfortable with the entire probate process. I found Ogden Law Firm through a Google search , so I thought it important that I capture my experience for others.
Kelsey Kern Esq. and her right-hand person Shelby Cimoli were super helpful throughout the entire probate. Their pre-prepared guidance was very thorough and helpful, plus they were always available to answer my questions as we progressed together through the process.
Without hesitation, I highly recommend Ogden Law Firm to anyone in area that may need probate services.

As executor for a family member's estate, I was referred to Ogden Law Firm through a retired trust attorney to handle the final trust administration.
After working with Ogden for several months and ultimately completing all of the complex issues surrounding the trust, I can confidently say that working with them was the right decision.
As someone in another review stated, they were like working with family. They had a sincere interest in taking care of our issues, addressing our questions and providing sound advice when needed. Additionally, their patience in working with me and other family members through all of the trust complexities made our experience in working with Ogden a very positive one. (Special shout out to Kelsey Kern, Rachel Hollywood and other support members on their staff!)
I would highly recommend their firm to anyone in area that may need their services

Trustworthy and very responsive! After submitting all repair work for my vehicle to the team it was determined that I did not have enough grounds to proceed. While that was a bummer I appreciated the fact that they did not waste my time. It turned out that I was able to have the ongoing issues fixed and Dodge offered good compensation for my troubles outside the Lemon Law option. I was skeptical and had the Lemon Law Pro team review the document. They guided me down a good path, explained their reasoning and made me feel comfortable with my final decision. Thanks Ashley and LaDawna.

Words can not describe how thankful I am for Lemon Law Pro. I am a Sacramento local and just found them on Google, I didn't want to opt for a big time LA attorney, and I'm glad I didn't. My first time interacting with Lemon Law Pro was in 2022 when I had a brand new Honda I was having an issue with. At that time they were honest in the fact that my case wouldn't have been strong enough and that they had a 100% success rate but didn't feel they could get me anything. I appreciated that honest feedback. I decided to get rid of that car and get a 2023 Honda. Little did I know that this car would have triple the issues. As soon as I was being denied help directly from the manufacturer I contacted Lemon Law Pro again and they immediately took on my case in Jan 2024. Ever since then it took about 5 months to get me a settlement I was absolutely happy with! I can not thank LaDawna enough for all her hard work. To all the paralegals and also Kim Zazzi! If you have any concerns your car might be a lemon, definitely hit up Lemon Law Pro!!!

I would very highly recommend Mr. Bradley for any collection disputes. I was looking around to retain a lawyer to collect my judgment award against my previous employer. A friend of mine recommended Mr. Bradley and I am so grateful that he accepted my case. He is a fantastic lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He was able to collect the judgment in a very short period while maintaining the cost at a minimum for me. I never sent him an email during the whole process because he always updated me on everything. He is very reachable and easy to communicate with. I will recommend him again and again.

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.

Bait and switch! I filled out and submitted a form for a free consultation on my wife and I's immigration case and then two weeks later they emailed me saying there was no free consultation and that it would cost $400.00 to talk to an attorney for any sort of evaluation/consultation. Not only is this rate upwards of double or even higher that of most attorneys in the field, it clearly states on their website that they offer free consultations and they don't. False advertisement!

I don’t typically write any reviews but Shiela was so Amazing from the initial consult to the end of the case that she deserves people to know what a professional, compassionate, kind attorney she is. If your looking for the best attorney than stop looking. I liked her immediately because she listened without any judgments, she didn’t rush me off the phone, she really listened to my case. It was so refreshing to find an attorney that was so good at what they do, make your feel comfortable, and pass zero judgements and care all at the same time. She gives you the facts, helps you understand what to expect which helped me so much. I found Shiela after my previous attorney really messed up a simple case for me and made it beyond complicated. Shiela solved the problem, where most attorneys wouldn’t even want to get involved with someone else’s mess, but she took the time, helped us and solved our case. We are so happy with Shiela and appreciate her very much. Thank you so much for all your help.

Received a judgement for a credit card l defaulted on over 10 years ago, they were going to take 25% of my wages by garnishing my paychecks. Over the years I avoided the paperwork and didn’t have the money to pay it off. Looking all over the internet for a local consumer attorney to guide me through this situation. While l was reading reviews l came across Mr. Fred Schwinn and just go in my car and drove over to his office. Upon my arrival Fred met me at the entrance and right away took me back to his office and looked up my case. Fred instructed me to go pick up some paperwork for him downtown, with paperwork in hand the next morning I was back in Fred’s office, sat down and discussed a few things with Fred and he, of course, just happened to know the collection agency that garnished my wages. Fred solved my situation in a matter of minutes! We reached an agreement and it was over right then and there. I’m sure it all depends on the situation but the minute l met Fred l said to myself this is my guy.
Big Thank You To Mr. Fred Schwinn And The Consumer Law Center

I consulted Fred Schwinn regarding a debt-buyer's action to reopen an out-of-state vacated and dismissed case. As a result of Fred's professional knowledge and experience, Fred informed me of the exact document I needed for my defense. I obtained this critical document and it was sent to the debt-buyer's attorney. Due to this supporting evidence, my case was again vacated and dismissed in court. I am forever grateful...Fred Schwinn is the very best consumer law attorney!

I went online looking for a attorney to represent me in a Chase credit card debt lawsuit being handled by the Moore Law Group.
I called John, and he actually answers his own phone. That was a time saver and I did not have to wait for a call back.
We had a brief discussion about my situation and he gave me sound advice. I was leaning toward hiring him, but unfortunately I am in northern California and his recommendation was to find a local attorney.
If i have a need for a attorney in the Orange County area, I will be contacting John.

Jeff helped my sister and I out with a personal injury case involving a car accident. This was my first time being in a car accident, and I felt overwhelmed by the prospect of dealing with the other party’s insurance and all of that paperwork. Jeff was a subject matter expert and really took the time to explain exactly how the process would work, how the fees would be broken down, and what sort of documentation to keep. I really appreciated the attention to detail.

I had reached out to the firm after a collector... would not stop! 3-4 calls per day, you might have a similar situation; ?? and I must say the personalized and FAST service- was outstanding. The end result was better than hoped; and I know that if you take the time to consult with Nick and his firm- you have now found your attorney. Spare yourself the exhaustion of looking further. Seriously- I could not be happier with the whole process, their "attitude". Extremely professional- call them! Glad I did, you will be too. That was my experience.

After a car accident you’re so shaken up that the last thing you want to do is deal with phone calls to explain the same thing over and over.
Michaels firm helped me understand the steps moving forward and took care of everything while I was able to focus on my pain management.
Strongly recommend this law firm.

Words alone cannot express the appreciation and gratitude I have for the fantastic work that Land Legal Group did on my divorce case. They were incredibly efficient, highly competent, and provided exceptional service, handling everything with impeccable professionalism. I would rate them over 10 stars if it were possible. Attorney Joseph Land is a man of his word! From my first telephone conversation with Joseph all the way to the end of my case ,he and his team followed through with what he said they could do for me, and they did successfully. I never felt as though they put my case on the back burner. He always answer the phone himself right away or returned my calls immediately. Attorney Yana, who work along with Joe was compassionate and definitely knew the necessary legal steps needed for my case to have a successful outcome. She returned my emails and calls right away. They were all so very patient with me and never made me feel as though they were rushing me off the phone or didn't have time for me. I am so satisfied and happy with the Land Legal groups performance that I can go on and on. Also, thank you James who handled the financial portion of my case. If you are looking for a Legal team to get the job done legally, ethically and successfully the Land legal group is definitely the team you would want to handle your case. They truly value their clients and it is demonstrated through their performance.

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.
