I was terrified when I was served legal papers that I was being sued by Midland. Never had anything like this happen to me. Weston was very quick to get back to me and help when I needed it. Mr. Dominque McKnight, my lead case manager, helped reduce my debit and get a payment plan set up that I could work with. Thank you again for everything you do!

It’s incredibly hard to get in touch with these people Racquel, always give the run around when we talk every other 3 weeks they are quick to take a case but terrible at keeping in contact; when it was time to get my car repaired it wasn’t enough to get it repaired I had to still come out of pocket even when my insurance wasn’t even involved and still get terrible excuses after going on close to 2 years. I shouldn’t have to keep contacting a company about MY CASE. Once finally settled won’t ever use this company again and don’t recommend

I’m incredibly grateful for the outstanding service I received from this law office. After being stuck for over a year with a debt consolidation plan that failed to deliver, I retained the Law Office of Chantelle Clark, and within days, she secured a favorable settlement with my creditor.
Mrs. Clark’s professionalism, clear communication, and streamlined process turned a stressful situation into something simple and manageable. She followed through on every detail with care and precision, making me feel confident and supported throughout.
Thanks to her efforts, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this attorney for any future legal matters. Highly recommend!

Hengst did not fight for my disabled son. He represented his SSI case in federal court and lost. I recognized obvious ways in which the Social Security Administration violated its own rules and regulations. They want me to repay several thousand dollars as if my son was NEVER disabled.

I hired Shawn for a collection case and he wasted almost a year and he wanted me to settle for much less of what I should be collecting. Very weak work.
I hired another attorney and he got it all done in less than 7 month.

Mr. Joyce displays character, competence, and commitment towards resolving each issue that emerges in our case. He knows our facts inside and out; likewise, he knows the applicable law and can therefore make well-reasoned decisions on how to proceed. He is very timely with his responses to our inquiries and he goes above and beyond to keep us informed of developments in our case. He thinks very proactively so we are prepared ahead of time for any twists or turns that may or may not emerge. We have great trust in Mr. Joyce's ability, and have also been served well by the support staff at his firm. We would certainly use his firm again if the need arose.

I have engaged Jeff on numerous occasions to assist with complex litigation related to the collection of large commercial real estate loans that were in default or bankruptcy. Jeff by far and away is the most knowledgeable lawyer that I have worked with in my twenty years of collecting commercial real estate loans. Not only does Jeff have a superior grasp of the law he also has extremely sound business judgement. I have observed Jeff in action conducting depositions as well as numerous court appearances and two trials. Jeff has the personality characteristics and skill that enable him to engage with judges in a way that allows him to get the judge's attention with respect to the position or point of law that he is arguing. Jeff has the unique ability of laying out a case plan and strategy in an understandable way so that the client is fully aware of the pros and cons of a given case. Jeff has my highest of references as a trial lawyer with the highest of ethical standards.

Very honest. After numerous attempts were made by Ms. Cromeens to get some satisfaction for me from the contractor we had engaged, her best advise was to take the money we were going to have to pay her to pursue a lawsuit and just fix our house. That is as honest as you can get. I have dealt with her and her firm on a business matter several years and now on this personal matter.

Trey Stiles carefully walked me through every step when probating my husband's will. I am not one for legalese, and he walked me through every part of it. I was allowed to ask as many questions along the way ( which I did). He provided the expert guidance, knowledge and experience that I needed to accomplish my task. I would highly recommend Trey Stiles.

Trey is very knowledgeable and experienced. He prepared our estate planning documents quickly and guided us step by step through the signing process as we were in a different location than his offices. He is very friendly and engaging and always responded quickly if I needed to discuss something with him. I highly recommend him if you need any estate planning or have other probate issues.

Trey Stiles is an excellent Will and Estate attorney.
He's an accomplished professional and very amicable and pleasant to work with.
From our first phone call, email correspondence, to our initial office meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand. There wasn't a question he wouldn't answer promptly. At the Will signing all went smoothly and timely.
I truly appreciate how affordable his fees are and how easy he made this entire process!

Shields Law firm and Andrea Koch are compassionate, knowledgeable, and the advocates you need when you're not sure where to turn. They understand the struggle of trying to get your child's needs met in a school that's determined to sideline you and your child.

My interactions with everyone at Shields Law Firm were positive. They are knowledgeable and explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand. Everyone was kind and respectful. I loved having Andrea represent us. She made us feel heard, understood our issues, and was able to be our voice when dealing with the fourth largest district in Texas. I never felt that Andrea misunderstood what we were trying to convey. In fact, she took my scattered thoughts and beautifully communicated them to the school and district staff. Before hiring Shields Law Firm, we felt completely cornered and felt that the school and district were only looking out for their own interests, not my child's. Only when they knew we were being represented did things start to move in a different direction.
I couldn’t be more thankful for their representation and won't hesitate to contact them again if we run into similar issues.

Testimonials: I needed legal help after losing a large sum of money from a dishonest broker. My account of approximately $130,000.00 was down to just $500.00 dollars, in approximately 30 days. I was devastated to find my broker had drained the account using hundred of bad trades. I found SSEK through an online search, and was EXTREMELY fortunate that David Miller answered my call and took my Case. David and Sam called me and tried to settle with the Brokerage firm to no avail. So we took them to arbitration where we won and I recouped a large amount of my losses! If you need a lawyer group that is compassionate and knowledgeable in this field then STOP now and hire this firm. They are AWESOME, extremely professional, and seasoned in their trade. I am very grateful for their services! Lawyers are people too! ( Ha Ha) They did not have to take my case, and I am forever thankful that they did! p.s. I never write reviews BUT they deserve every word of this review and more.

David and Sam helped us recover money we invested with a "brokerage" company. David and Sam are kind, knowledgeable, diligent and amazing at what they do. We are so thankful they took our case and helped us win. They are passionate about doing the right thing to earn positive results. Thank you so very much David and Sam - while, we wish we hadn't needed your help, we are so glad we met you and worked with you.

I moved to Houston in April, and my welcome was " being hit from behind, while at a red light ".
I was recommended an attorney that would later prove to have absolutely no integrity leaving me no choice accept to release him and search for a new attorney.
Best decision I ever made was to retain Attorney Todd White!
His demeanor is a quiet one, not to be mistaken for weakness. Mr. White showed me great and immediate assistance. His staff definitely represents him well. My experience with his employees was one that made me feel like a family member. Warm ,caring and professional.
Mr. White was able to pick up where the other attorney left off from and literally resolved my case in less than 30 days! And is currently still fighting for MORE!
If you need a sincere and trustworthy attorney, I highly recommend him! Also, while going through a rough spot, Mr. White allowed me to vent, without charge. Lol. Boy, did I vent, while he showed me compassion as he listened. That is a quality is one that not all Lawyers possess when it's only about money.
Thank you Mr.White!

Any parent or person involved in a situation of divorce/custody understands how stressful and frustrating the whole process can be. This firm from the very beginning in consultation through to completing my case just made the whole process a lot less painful. I never did not know what was going on or where we were at in the process. As a father I appreciate the collective efforts and hard work of everyone in this office very much. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of representation that cares and fights for their clients.

No one thinks it will happen to them until one day, it does. No one anticipates getting into a car accident and the pain and suffering that sometimes follows. However, if and when it does happen, having the Ramsey Law Group help you through everything makes it a less painful process. Everyone at this firm is truly amazing, compassionate, knowledgeable and understanding. From beginning to end, I knew that no matter what was thrown at us from either the other parties or insurance companies, they would handle it all and do it seamlessly. Thank you to everyone at the Ramsey Law Group. I know I could not have gotten through this “bump in the road” (so to speak) without you. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

John is not one of those attorneys that are just here to get your money, he is a very compassionate person and truly cares about his clients. I cannot express how much I am thankful for the work John and his staff put into my case. He never promised me anything except that he would fight for me, and he did just that and won my case. He stays in contact with you, and informs you of everything that’s going on throughout the case, which means a lot when your life is on the line. I recommend this lawyer 100%

Non fake review. I also have paperwork I can load with pictures that I was a client if this were to get denied. I should have placed this review long time ago. They dropped the ball on my case I paid a lot of money for them to only lose the evidence on court day. They simply said there’s nothing we can do. In his video he explains how he likes to get people and court while there defenses are low. That is an accurate description of how they act when they can’t/ couldn’t win against the court. they take the same approach to their customers after that. If they’re willing to fix this problem without additional cost to myself I’d be glad to change the review.

Troy Moore was extremely helpful to my family during very difficult times. After my father passed, he guided us through the challenging and confusing probate process. When my mother passed a year later, he again provided excellent help and support with our estate issues. Like most people, I had no idea how to settle my parents' accounts and deal with all the other legal issues involved when someone dies, so I cannot thank Troy enough for his work and support. He was always available to answer questions, clearly explained everything that we needed to do, and was always prompt and efficient with everything. I highly recommend consulting with Mr. Moore for any estate planning and related problems!

Terrible attitude! Doesn’t like to be questioned. She took my case and then argues with me as if she is prosecuting me. Lacks empathy. She is one or those lawyers who obviously is in it for the money and not for her client. I hate I even was recommended to her. I spoke with other clients she had out of Arkansas and they all have had nothing but negative experiences with Joyce. I bet that the reason she moved her practice to Texas. She won’t get away with this bullying style. DO NOT USE HER TO EVEN REPRESENT YOU IN A SEATBELT TICKET….she works against you!!!

I had the privilege of working with Lindsey during my divorce and child custody case, while also being an active-duty military member living in another state. From the outset, Lindsey demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique challenges I faced. She fought aggressively and strategically for my rights, ensuring that my military status, as well as the intricacies of an LGBTQ divorce, were handled with care and expertise. Lindsey worked tirelessly to protect my interests and those of my child, achieving a favorable outcome. Even after the case was finalized, Lindsey continued to offer invaluable support and guidance whenever needed. I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone, especially those in the LGBTQ community or military service members, looking for a dedicated and skilled attorney who goes above and beyond.

I wish I could rate her more than 5-star as rating just 5 star is not enough for a person who is so dedicated to a profession, so caring for those in distress and above all for those who have been burnt previously by a class of greedy, money-hungry , unprofessional attorneys.
She is a Christian and a true Christian attorney who would spare no efforts to fight for you, disregarding amount of compensation she would get in the process.
I was so lucky that my good Karma prevailed and brought me to her to help me .
If one can judge an attorney by knowledge, experience, care , I think she is by far the best I have ever met in my 30 years of interaction by attorneys.
She greeted me right at the door-step of the building and even helped me carry heavy boxes of documents. She is so consistent, thorough , knowledgeable that I was amazed .
She listened to me for hours and immediately offered help . She took my most horrible case mismanaged by another so-called Board Certified Real Estate lawyer who had made a complete mess of the case.She has been calling me and sending me prepared documents disregarding the amount of compensation she has received.
She is an amazing attorney, out to helping someone in dire need without any objective but to bring smile on one’s face.
May Almighty shower all the blessings on her?

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.

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:

- 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.
