I have worked with several lawyers for various situations over the years with owning a business. But can honestly say that Justin Boschwitz and Peter Kaiser with Moss & Barnett have been the two best I have worked. They are down to earth and it doesn't feel like the classic lawyer - client relationship I have had before or is stereotypical. They have helped me with both positive and unfortunate business situations and guided me along the way. I would highly recommend them, SKOL!

It has to be one of the most misogynistic man whose ego is too big for his body. Right off the bat this man has man explain to me and I am a man, but he was mansplaining. On top of that, I am a part of the LGBTQ. I in no way felt like he was supportive of that because I was a victim of Domestic assault. This lawyer managed to get my spouse everything he wanted, Including dismissing my order of protection And came up with his own stipulations alongside with the other lawyer the only thing he negotiated with me with was to move Which I shouldn’t have had to because that is also my house. I have shared interest and dividend in it. He acted not in my favor and I will not recommend this lawyer. One of the worst absolute lawyer I have ever seen and he’s gonna give him back every single Since when I’m done here because he was an ineffective counsel and advise me to do stupid things I should not have done. He also told me to sit down and look pretty and a grown man talk and shut my mouth, who talks to somebody Like that?

While our initial consultation made me feel heard and supported, it has been nearly four months since our last contact despite multiple attempts to call, text and email. I've been left hanging without the agreement I paid for and have been forced to seek for and hire another attorney. As much as I understand that life happens and he may truly be unable to help me at this time, I've paid for a service and believe I deserve an explanation, at minimum, as this significantly impacts a very sensitive situation.

After four years of fight in court, Steven has been able to prove that I wasn’t an abusive person and that the mother of my kids didn’t need an OFP. Steven had always give me right recommendations and take the time for my case. He has been able to direct me to the right person that I need like anger manager and immigration attorney. I definitely recommend Steven Coon if you need any help and good advice from a criminal attorney. Good job and thank you Steven

Mr Coon was good enough for my situation. He counseled , predicted, and then executed. My case was pretty much straight forward. He gave me worst case scenarios, and what it would look like if everything just worked in my favor. Which ended up working all in my favor. The only thing that I can say that I didn’t like was the communication. I have yet to meet this bright lawyer in person, but he did what he said he was going to do and I appreciate him

Attorney Dawn Speltz and Paralegal Kayla Johnson were incredible throughout my divorce process. They were exceptionally responsive, often replying to my emails even at night, and provided clear guidance on every legal matter. Dawn helped me achieve 50/50 physical and legal custody of my children, something I didn’t realize was possible as a father. She found legal precedents that saved me money on asset division, enforced our prenup, and helped me retain most of my assets, including my house, which I was able to buy out thanks to her advice on assuming the mortgage. With her expertise, I avoided spousal support and calculated fair child support. The divorce was entirely negotiated and we didn't have to go to court. I couldn’t be more grateful for their dedication and professionalism. Highly recommend!

Please do not hire Ellen Schreder. I found her at anoka county law day. I was desperate and thought she would help me diligently. I was soo wrong to hire her and then to keep going thinking it would get better. I agree 💯 with the other reviews on her. She should stop practing law as she is a very incompetent and unprepared lawyer and will waste your money bickering and arguing with you more that the opposing party. I also been ridiculed and told it will just cost me more. And of course we all are trying to get help at the lowest cost. She hid information so I was in the unknown about what was sent or discussed with the other party and won't respond to opposing party like I asked. She does not voucher for her client and cant take good criticism as she stated in her email I was insulting her with good criticism and how she had stressed me even more with her degrading statements about losing money and what the opposing party will or will not. Instead of just simply arguing in her clients best interest and considering all factors that would be best for her client she pushes for just taking any offer given. Even after there is positive evaluation and I have soo many evidence to clear me. Mediation was horrible I felt like I was not heard at all and I got no consideration. Even after the fact that I recd the best evaluation. She does not care and will waste your money. Look at her face. It tells you everything about her person. I will gladly answer any question any person has that want to hire her. Do not let her waste your money. Do not let her waste you time. Do not let her stress you out more than the situation already has.

I used Bill for my divorce. I knew my divorce was going to be complicated as I was dealing with an abusive spouse, teenage children, little to no financial assets, and a spouse who made three times as much money as me. Bill was the third lawyer that I met with and he was the only one who showed me any kind of compassion. Upon hearing my case, he immediately started looking up similar cases and talking about strategy. I hired Bill and have been thankful ever since. He worded the final divorce papers in a way that protected my financial rights; gave my almost graduated teenage children the ability to choose which parent they wanted to stay with; and gave my children the financial support that they deserved. He also helped greatly in the negotiating process with my ex-spouse by being willing to go to court if we were not able to settle the divorce. Prior to meeting with Bill, I used a debt negotiation company to get out of debt. It was a four year long nightmare and upon meeting Bill I refer all my friends who are going through financial hardships or divorces to him.

I used Mr. Bodensteiner for a bankruptcy attorney and I highly recommend him. I was not sure about the process with bankruptcy and he assured me I was doing the right thing, and it was a big weight lifted off my shoulders. I highly recommend Mr. Bodensteiner due to his convenience of being able to schedule around my schedule; his great personality; his knowledge on all the bankruptcy laws; his low and competitive rates, and his attentiveness to answering all of my questions, reassuring me and returning of my phone calls. Hopefully I will not fall into the same boat again, but I would definitely hire him as an attorney again if needed.

Now I know why this law firm has a 2.9 review. people, believe the reviews! Pro: Sarah, the Paralegal, was such a nice person, great conversation and timely response. Now lets get to Mr. Nate or Nathan Con: 1. he autocorrected my name to "peru"... okay, I can see that happening. 2. I painstakingly filled the form, got to the phone call and this is how it went He was talking about will, trust, power of attorney etc. (keep in mind he already knows my family's worth), and like educated people that we are, we had questions (plus, he was speaking fast too, so I had to halt him to repeat some things). Please ask me why after the 2nd question this "fragile ego entity" decided to tell me I was arguing with him and if I wanted to argue he can't be our lawyer. I was stunned (like where did this come from). And my husband was like :we are just asking questions because we are not the expert and wanted to understand. And he literally said (and I kid you not) I'm not used to people asking me questions right out of the gate ( "sigh in my ancestor's language). Anyway, I just told him, "if you already feel this way just after two questions, how would we be able to ask you questions in the future if we don't understand something. I don't think you are the best fit then". Needless to say, he was like "metlife will find you another lawyer". Dude, I spent hours going through lawyers, no one did the work. Anyway, whatever is wrong with this Nate, he needs to go get some "communication 101" course on his learning path.

I am a local immigration attorney who needed some legal counsel from this firm. They came highly recommended by another well known attorney. Unfortunately, this firm is a HUGE disappointment to all consumers alike. I hope someone at big business reads this review. There is no onboarding process for this firm. None. You are at the mercy even as a colleague of poorly trained staff and assistants to get someone to pay attention to your case. The communication with this firm has been awful. Emails unanswered. Phone calls ignored. The firm waisted about 2.5 months of my client's case only to send a snarky response that they decline to represent, which is not what we were looking for (we needed a second opinion on case value). The employee (law clerk) who was assigned to our case left midway our project. No one got back to us on that. In sum, take your business elsewhere as I would say this firm has a chronic internal management problem that will continue into representation. If my prospective clients in my firm were treated this way, I would be fired on the spot and rightfully so. If my staff treated anyone the way we were treated, they would be fired on the spot as well for cause. Take note!

They completely ignore your messages and only call you back to claim they're reviewing your case, but then make you wait even longer. They only respond when you're practically flooding their voicemail. I definitely RECOMMEND TO KEEP CALLING AND LEAVING VOICEMAIL

Sadly, waited weeks for even a call back. Told me they'd have an answer for me in 4 days... a month ago. Still no answer. It's really sad, they run your time out before your court date, which will screw me over. No suggestions for me, NOTHING. If I wasn't from this country, I'd be at the top of the list. I'm disabled, poor. She did tell me however "it's expensive, but you could try a mediator" REALLY?! SERIOUSLY?!

I've been waiting 2 almost 3 years to get assistance with my divorce. They contacted me several months ago saying I'm on top of the list. I haven't heard from anyone since I've left several messages. This is ridiculous at this point!

Mr. (Daryl) Bail is a joke. Hiring him means you're overpaying for legal services and there are plenty of other better lawyers in the area that cost THOUSANDS less. No sense of ethics whatsoever. He's openly disclosed to other people the amounts of money he has drained from his clients. Client confidentiality means nothing to this guy. I totally get why he's not a named partner at PHB. He'd ruin the firm's reputation. When looking for a law firm to represent you I suggest looking anywhere else.

I was very pleased how everything turned out to be. I’m not going to lie, I was very nervous and scared for the worst and thought that I didn’t have a chance. But with the help with my lawyer and the whole team from Patton Hoversten And Berg this wouldn’t be possible. So I want to give a huge Thank You to Joe Heinrichs and Andrea Lembke for helping me get through this all the way, none of this would be possible if it wasn’t for you guys. Thank you Patton Hoversten And Berg!

I had to appear in court for speeding. I hired this firm, and my case was assigned to Joe Heinrichs. Mr. Heinrichs was knowledgeable, professional, and effective. I believe Mr. Heinrichs secured the best possible outcome for me. I would recommend this firm, and especially Mr. Heinrichs to anyone in a heartbeat. I even thought the fee was reasonable.

I paid my debt in November 2024. Got a letter in the mail in February 2025 talking about how I owe a debt. I called Gurstel to talk to a representative. He was less than helpful. I told him I paid it off in November. He said they haven’t received any funds and I still have to pay. I once again said I paid it in November. He said I should call the payroll company for my employer. I called them and they explained that yes I did in fact pay it but state law says the collection agency has to request payment. You would think a law firm would know the law??? What an absolute joke of a company. The “representative” would go silent when I asked a question and wouldn’t say anything for a minute, to the point I asked if he went on break or hung up on me. I asked to speak to a supervisor and of course there wasn’t one available. What a surprise.

This company has a lot of false information about me and as such took me to court. They then withdrew money from an account I had no actual ownership from and are now insisting I send them some personal information so their lawyers can decide if it is proof enough the money was not mine. At first they tried to say they couldn't speak with me because I was represented by another law firm, which I had no prior contact with. Very unprofessional and frustrating.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. My husband has an account in collections and we sent paperwork agreeing to the payment plan in 01/24 and now in 12/24, they've started a court case because they never received the signed paperwork. I had called to let them know it was in the mail on 1/9/24, we've been making payments, there's been no contact attempts, no notification that paperwork was never received, nothing, until we got something from the courts notifying us of the court case. No help was provided over the phone, and I was told a supervisor would contact me, but I'm not hopeful for that as I've had to reach out after asking them to reach out about this.

Imagine thinking you’re so special, you don’t have to follow the law at all. A little ironic being lawyers, yeah? Congratulations on taking advantage of someone with a traumatic brain injury, and I hope you’re proud of yourself. Failed to validate this debt, failed to inform me that I was being sued, failed to return multiple phone calls, and failed at being decent human beings. The world would be a much better place without scumbag leeches such as this company.

Mr. Conway was moonlighting defending people who were facing civil commitment. I found him to be dishonest and apathetic. While his dishonesty was not material to the outcome of my case, at the time, I was really put off and felt I was railroaded. I suggest getting anything he promises to do in writing or just avoid hiring him.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
