There are many process servers in Los Angeles. With so many options, some are very good and others are really bad. I found Ace to be outstanding. With 30 years experience, Ace’s Jeff Levine is a pro at serving difficult to serve defendants. I am very impressed.

I've been working with Eisenberg Law Group, and my experience so far has been excellent! My case manager, Stephanie, has been very supportive and attentive throughout the process. She’s kept me well-informed on the progress of my case and made sure I’m receiving the proper care after my auto accident. The team is professional and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend them!

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.

My nanny was having some issues and needed to file for bankruptcy. I immediately thought of Sheila and thank god I did. She helped her with her case quickly and smoothly. She was always available to answer her questions and let me bug her on off hours too. My nanny only speaks Farsi, Shiela spent the time to translate everything for her, which she was relieved and forever grateful for. Thank you Sheila for everything!

I cannot say enough good things about Sheila. She helped me through every step of the Bankruptcy process and went above and beyond the call of duty. She made the process easy from start to finish. She was always a call or text away to help me with any questions or concerns I had in regards to my Bankruptcy. I can’t thank her enough for her help and I highly recommend Sheila.

I contacted Martin & Bontrager Law Firm regarding creditor harassment calls. Nick and his team were absolutely exceptional with settling several cases successfully, they were dynamic, trustworthy, reliable, responsive and went above and beyond. They recommended Sanaz for support with filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and worked together with her and her team to support me in the process. The entire team worked in cohesion and cooperation. My consumer debt was successfully discharged and I received money by settling a harassment cases by the great work of Nick andTom. I felt they looked out for me, crossed every t's and dotted every i's. Thank you so much! I highly recommend hiring them!

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.

I have known Zack for four years, and in this time he has helped me many times with many different issues. He is attentive each and every time he helps me. He is extremely responsive, caring, knowledgeable, and helpful. He worked tirelessly on my case, and in most cases he answered my concerns right away. He is also the kindest attorney I have ever known, and he is always available for me to reach out to. He has never disappointed me, not even once. He pretty much saved me from a whole lot of trouble, and I sincerely feel very much indebted to him. All in all, if you are looking for an attorney who truly cares about his clients and gets the job done, he is your man. Thanks again Zack!

Zack fought hard for my case, he was knowledgeable, assertive to the other party, and very easy to work with. Trustworthy and experienced. Anytime I had any questions, he was always an email or phone call away. He was always great at replying back to all my questions and concerns. I recommend this lawyer to fight for you. I had several lawyers tell me that I didn't have a case because I was employed for only two weeks or didn't have enough evidence to support my case. This lawyer along with his partner, Johnathan, were very confident and knowledgeable in their field of law. During my initial meeting with them, they told me I had a case and that they would help me. They won my case for me for great results! It's the best feeling to have a lawyer who will do anything and everything to help you defeat and win your case.

I called Mr. Broslavsky after finding his information on line. Being skeptical while reading other reviewers' comments, I still wanted to give it a try. Well, here I am to confirm you can believe those reviewers! This attorney is patient, polite, straight forward, sincerely willing to help. My case is kind of complicated, and I don't know if Mr. Broslavsky would be working with me yet. In any case, he is one of the very few I am considering.

Ryan is an excellent lawyer. He has helped me a few times and has always exceeded expectations. He is helpful and he would walk me through processes and explain things to me in a way that made it really easy to be on the same page as him. He is reliable and easy to get ahold of. I would hire him again and would definitely recommend him to a friend as well.

I live in a building that isn’t well cared for despite rental hikes and I wound up breaking my foot after slipping down some stairs. I met Ryan through a mutual friend and he agreed to help me with my case. I was pleased with how professional he was, responding to me in a timely manner and helping me understand that no, it wasn’t my fault that I fell (the stairs were wet and the roof was leaking). He guided me through the entire process and really allowed me to worry less about the legal matters and more about healing my injury.

I got a collections letter from a company I've never heard of and they wouldn't work with me no matter what I did. I looked through this website for a lawyer in my area and saw Eric Sapir so I gave him a call. He didn't charge me much and he got them to get rid of the collections and also got me a small settlement from them which ended up paying for my legal fees anyhow. I'm very happy. He's also a really nice guy, he Js very hard and does an excellent job. I haven't had good experiences in the past with attorneys but I can honestly say this was the best experience.

I got into a disagreement with a major bank. I found Mr. Sapir and contacted him for help. He walked me through the process and was very aggressive in fighting for me, which I really appreciated. Most attorneys I've dealt with seem somewhat detached but Mr. Sapir always made me feel like I was his priority. His pricing was fair and his services were great. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help with debt-related issues without hesitating. I also plan to keep using his services in the future.

My mother was getting many telemarketing calls on a daily, and sometimes hourly, basis. The calls were more than annoying, the volume of calls amounted to harassment. I called Attorney Eric Sapir, discussed my situation, and we were able to successfully stop the calls from this particular telemarketer. We were also able to secure a favorable settlement.
Mr. Eric Sapir was attentive to our needs, took his time in both listening to our problem as well as explaining what legal recourse would be available. Mr. Eric Sapir was honest, attentive, and persistent, the hallmarks of a true professional.
Both my Mother and I are very pleased and thankful with the time and efforts Attorney Eric Sapir expended in dealing with our legal matter. We would highly recommend Eric Sapir to anyone who is experiencing harassment from telemarketers

I would highly recommend Ben to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair and who wants someone that will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Honest, trustworthy and very straight forward is what Ben is. In unvarnished truth he will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. I will now only seek Ben and and Woolf & Nachimson's advise whenever a need arises for legal services and further counsel for any sort of business related issues. I would not hesitate to seek representation from Ben Nachimson again.

Mr. Ramenian has closed (won) several cases for me. His consultations and legal advice worked very well for me and I am certain that I will forward more cases to him. During my cases, if I was not able to reach him by phone he was prompt in returning my calls, which was very important to me! I would recommend Mr. Ramenian to represent your business cases.

Wow! We were in legal nightmare and were fortunate to find this amazing attorney, Sharen Ghatan, and her awesome team! We were struck by an Uber and had no idea what to do. The driver even ran from the scene but our lawyer found him, and fought the insurance company all the way. Our dear friend, our passenger, was so injured and we worried if he’d ever recover. Thank goodness for our lawyer who never gave up and fought til the death for us!! We got a new car, and with the money from our settlement we can have a fresh start on life! We are so thankful to find CLC, and would never hire anyone other firm.

When doing a bankruptcy like this it may
typically take longer than one thinks if you
didn't read up on the process..., months !
Also a successful bankruptcy petition isn't a " gimme".
Be aware you will need LOTS of patience as most everything is done online at Sternberg Law.
My advice is learn how to scan & create files onto a flash drive properly.
That can be learned on a STAPLES copy machine.
The ZOOM interview with the State of Calif is NOT "optional". This isn't a " hire and toss the situation" to your Attorney like a red light
traffic ticket.
Download the ZOOM App and practice a two way conversation with someone prior
to your ONLINE camera appearance date with the Bankruptcy Court of The State of California.
BE available, online, and ready to talk.
Sternberg Law was very patient and Professional throughout my entire successful bankruptcy process.
I would wholeheartedly recommend them.
Thanks !

The attorney Joseph Land is very knowledgeable and took the time to listen to my concerns regarding my situation. He answered my questions clearly and there was no pressure to retain his services because he wanted to make sure that I truly understand my options in the legal process. You can tell that they truly care about their clients. It's rare to find someone who cares about their clients and shows the genuine empathy and commitment to their clients. He answered all my questions thoroughly during the consultation and made sure I left with a clear understanding of the next steps. If you're in need of a family law attorney, I highly recommend reaching out to Land Legal Group.

My husband, our then 1 year old, and I were involved in a hit and run that rendered our car totaled. We had never been in an accident that bad before so apart from reporting it to the police and filing an insurance claim, we weren’t sure what else to do. Finances were tight since we had just signed a new lease that previous weekend and we would need to put aside some money to buy another car. A friend recommended contacting Ed Lee Law Offices and it was the best investment we could’ve made. My husband and I initially felt hopeless since our case didn’t seem as serious as others we have read/heard about considering no one was severely injured, but Ed Lee and his team made sure we were properly compensated for all the hardship we were put through in being the victims of a hit and run accident. We knew it would take some time to be resolved but time was all we had and after putting our full trust in his law firm, a year and some change later, our case was closed. We were compensated for all that we lost and then some. Even though the police did not find the suspect, Ed, Sylvia, Angela, and the rest of their team were able to give us the closure that we needed from a horrible incident.
I highly recommend contacting them if you or someone you know is in a similar situation. They’ll get you the compensation and closure that you need. We are so incredibly grateful to Ed Lee Law Offices for what they did for our family!

Kevin Gres is an exceptional legal professional who embodies integrity and compassion. When hope seemed lost in our search for representation, Kevin's empathy and dedication shone through from our first conversation. He not only took us on as clients but also eased our anxiety with his expertise and guidance. Throughout the process, Kevin's kindness and excellent communication skills remained unwavering, and his commitment to fighting for justice was evident. He is a true advocate for those unfairly accused, going above and beyond to explore all avenues for the best outcomes. Incredibly grateful for Kevin's brilliance and integrity, words cannot fully express our appreciation for his outstanding service.
Thank you again Kevin, your kindness is one we will remember forever.

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.
