Grace Law and their outstanding team did an outstanding job with our case. The lawyer's Zino and Jordan, and their team Charmaine, Graceille, and Joana always kept us updated on our tasks and kept the case moving forward with a very favorable outcome. Having a team of laywer's that are able to give you peace of mind while facing uncertainty is what kept us sane while going through this process. I cannot thank them enough.

When I was visiting my younger brother in Corona, we were faced with a serious situation which required us to hire an attorney........ I highly recommend Sharen to anyone seeking legal assistance in California. Sharen was extremely professional, and knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to support me in my case. Her legal expertise and ability to communicate effectively made a world of difference in my case. If you need an attorney who truly cares about her clients, she's the one!

Sharen truly acted in our best interest at all times. If you are in need of legal counsel, we definitely recommend Sharen and California Legal Counsel. Thanks again to Sharen and the team!!

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.

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.

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.

I hired this law firm over a year and a half ago. They take their time to get back with you. It has been 6 months of waiting for the Veterans Administration to answer a letter. Still not answered. The law firm has already been paid, they are waiting for an answer from the VA. I told them over a month ago to send me the paperwork, and I will take it to the VA. I'm still waiting on them to send it to me! I see how this game is played. It was a car accident, not my fault. So, I wait and wait. They only call back about one fifth the time. The suck very hard.

If I can only give 10 starts to Attorney Eman Arnaout, I will give her and her team 10 STARS for being on top of our immigration applications.
Attorney Eman has been very helpful since day 1, from our telephone consultations, to my family's first time meeting with her in her office, to never ending phone calls and consultations, our fears and joys that she never endlessly listen and advised and so much more that this review is not enough to express how much thankful we are for knowing her and her team.
She is just an answered prayer to us! From our point of view, our Angel sent from above to keep us protected while we are going through hardships and trials.
But because of prayers, and her expertise to handle our immigration case, she never left and fought for us until the end.
We received our green cards already and we are so thankful to her!
I am crying while doing this review right now because whenever I will go back to our struggles, and those past memories with fears and hopelessness, God is great to be using tools for us to know Attorney Eman.
God bless you Attorney and for your help to people like us.
You made our hope to live "The American Dream" come true!
Thank you to everyone at Arnaout Immigration Law Firm! You guys are the best!
Now my children can live a happy and hopeful future!

I am so grateful that I found Joshua Fabian at Boyd Law to represent me as my lawyer for my restraining order case, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. What stood out to me the most was his kind, warm, and empathetic personality. Dealing with a stressful legal situation and the emotional pain of assault was incredibly difficult, but Joshua’s understanding and compassion made the entire process much more manageable.
Not only is Joshua Fabian a genuinely caring person, but he is also exceptionally intelligent and deeply knowledgeable about the law. I always felt confident that he was working diligently on my behalf and had my back throughout the entire process. Joshua was incredibly thorough and took the time to fully understand every aspect of my case and how to get me justice. He ensured he was well-prepared at every step, which made me feel so relieved, and that I didn't have to worry as much, because he had things handled.

Questions? We have answers
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.
