Got referred to Angelica by a family member! She has great energy and is willing to help your financial future!

15 Sep, 2024 by Erin

Angelica took the time to speak with my husband and I. She listened carefully to our situation, she was super warm/friendly and really seemed to care about us as people vs just as business. We are looking forward to working with her and eager to get going on our financial goals!

12 Sep, 2024 by Darien manley

Just had our first meeting with Angelica and what a breath of fresh air! Bonnie and I had a great introduction to how Angelica works within the Edward Jones model! Very impressed with her knowledge and professionalism and how we jumped right in to making changes for the better! Can't to see where this new relationship takes us!

Ashley Tuchman is representing me through my divorce. Going through a divorce has been the most demanding experience of my life. Truly the light throughout this laborious and emotionally draining process has been the support of my attorney. I cannot stress enough how important aligning yourself with the right attorney, with the right attitude will serve you well and keep your head on straight at a time where you need to be on your game. Ashley is pragmatic, knowledgeable and honest. Her no nonsense style while dealing with facts and challenges is well balanced by her empathetic and attentive nature to see you through the most challenging circumstances. Ashley is supportive and helps keep it all together in a time where many things seem to be falling apart. She is reliable, responsive and diligent. She does an outstanding job of keeping you on target and prioritizing demands effectively. Ashley is a true client advocate and a trusted advisor. I would highly recommend her services.

I had the privilege of working with Ashley Tuchman during my divorce. She made things very simple and easy for me to understand during the entire process. She was amazing at catching the smallest details and coming up with brilliant strategies that helped my ex and I come to an agreement and settle our divorce in a timely manner. I’m forever grateful for her expertise and advice and understanding in helping me through this difficult time. Her knowledge and creativity and the way she worded the documents was very helpful to my case. I’m very confident in her abilities and I absolutely would hire her again. Thank you.

30 Dec, 2018 by Nicole

I could not have asked for a more seamless experience with my divorce. Ashley and her team guided me through each step and anticipated the next. Not only were they professional but they made my experience very personal as well. My concerns were prompltly addressed and answers were given very quickly! At the end of this entire roller coaster, my ex husband even stated that he would recommend my attorney over his! Thank you Ashley and Modern Law, for your excellence in taking care of me and my family!

It took me months of on and off research to find the right bankruptcy attorney. When I read Krystal’s background and reviews, I knew she was someone I could trust and depend on to get all the details and everything done right in my case. Her extensive knowledge, experience, and clear communication throughout the entire process made this a good experience. I would highly recommend Krystal to anyone who is going through this challenging time. She’s the very best and I will be forever grateful for all her help.

14 Jun, 2023 by Alen

While I only had a consultation with Krystal, she was extremely sympathetic to my concern, making heartbreaking bad news not quite as hard to swallow. She's the kind of attorney you know has your best interest in mind. And she was able to answer every question clearly and understandably to boot. She was intuitive to understand what would be good for me to know as well, even without me asking. If I ever need to hire a bankruptcy attorney, she's the one I would hire hands down.

17 Mar, 2023 by Jodi

I had the pleasure of talking to Krystal yesterday. After hearing about my individual situation she recommended I take an alternate route. Not only did she answer all my questions she also went the extra mile and helped educate me. I highly recommend Krystal.

Brant was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! I reached out to Brant's office after being sued for an extremely old credit card debt. The debt was not a large amount and although I requested and was willing to pay for a consultation and assistance, Brant acknowledged this was a matter that could easily be handled without a lawyer by myself. He then took the time to provide advice, answer all of my questions, and provide suggestions to help solve my problem. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and likeable. Without a doubt, I would reach out to Brant again and will do so for any future matters and I would highly recommend his services to anyone!

21 Mar, 2020 by Marco

I spoke in person with Brant Hodyno, he was personal, attentive non-judgemental and above all very honest and yet kind, which was exactly what I need it He told me that there was really not much he could do in my case due to my specific circumstances, but he gave me free advice about how to handle it, I fallow it and the result was positive. Thank you very much you help me to save my house, God bless you Mr. Hodyno

Kristopher Childers and Brant Hodyno were very helpful on dot on what i was looking for. I came with an issue related to a civil case, went to multiple people and they all talked which wasn't related directly in my situation and made me more nervous. Brant was in middle of a client meeting, then also picked my phone and told me text him with contact details. I like the professional way of ack. someone. His counterpart/expert contacted me back in less than an hour. Kristopher Childers - heard me, understood my situation. He didn't go on and on rather asked to produce certain case copies to find out where we stand. He understood and explained what needs to be done with guidance to avoid falling in to such situations. I am a professional in IT field, I like the way they worked with me respecting time of all the parties. Already referred them on my company referral board. Guys, keep doing the great work!!!

To say McCarthy and his team gave me hope would be an understatement. Hope was something I never thought was possible. My parents divorced right at the time I was to attend an out of state university. On paper, my mom looked “fine” (able to support me according to FAFSA) so I didn’t get much help financially even though she was putting out a lot because of the divorce, having to relocate, etc. so I didn’t qualify for much of any federal loans/ grants. And being in my late teens, early 20s, I didn’t know better than to sign my life away to get the private loan support. Flash forward after graduation, I found a job at a non-profit organization. The work was challenging but rewarding to be able to provide hope to those in need, but financially, like many other jobs out of college and non-profits, it didn’t allow me enough to keep up with the high interest rates and steady incline of my loans. Despite many efforts for financial assistance from the private loan lender, the payments began to exceed my monthly income. I exhausted my forbearance and thought to myself, “This is how my life’s going to be” That’s when I found McCarthy. From the initial contact until the very last contact, they have been eager, humble, receptive, generous, and knowledgeable. To be able to speak to a person, not an automated message or system, but every day people was a treat in itself. They took time to explain me to how I can work towards gaining financial freedom and within a few years and a payment plan (without interest accumulating) I would be able to pay off the loan in its entirety. And not the amount it exceeded to (138k) because of interest, but the amount I took out from the beginning (108K) by negotiating the amount with the private lender themselves. I was able to focus on getting my life back, working the usual course to get promotions without the burden of paying an amount I couldn’t afford. And by having extra in my pocket, it made my job enjoyable again. I was able to give the best version of myself in all aspects of my life because, for once, I didn’t have to worry about “How am I going to make the next payment” The staff were beyond welcoming and remained that light, that beacon in my life since 2015. From Kelly who greeted me with a “It’ll be ok,” from Ali who said “Let’s look at getting a payment plan set up for you” to Joan who said, “I got you and will continue to fight for you” it was something that was not only refreshing, but humbling as well for me. The zeal exhibited by all that work at McCarthy Law is unmatched. I was one of the fortunate ones to say that I am now 100% free of my private loans. 108k settled!! Joan worked real time magic in negotiating my loan amount to where I was able to receive a payment back from McCarthy of all I paid to them over the years, following settlement. They thought that was a blessing, but to me, they were my blessing. To top it all off, Kevin McCarthy reached out to me via mail congratulating me on reaching financial freedom. I just cried when I read it and it remains on my fridge as a reminder to this day. It took me a bit to write my testimony, partly because I’m still in disbelief that I’m free, but more importantly, because I wanted to take the time to write something from my heart, something they touched long ago. I have recommended a few people to McCarthy and would recommend them to anyone who feels stuck, lost, and is experiencing hopelessness as a result of student loans. And just like they did with me, I’ll pay it forward as well.

03 Apr, 2019 by Anonymous

Awesome, magnificent, brilliant, amazing, remarkable, wonderful, beautiful (even though I have never seen Joan), east coast, just to name a few superlatives to describe Joan. Joan has helped redirect my life in a very positive direction. To be honest, these student loans really put me in a challenging position, and Joan truly helped me overcome this obstacle. Joan definitely exceeded my expectations, and I am very happy to have found McCarthy Law. To be 100% real, there was one moment when I was a little nervous, however, I believed in the negotiation skills of Joan, and she made sure everything worked out better then I could have expected! THANK YOU JOAN, AND MCCARTHY LAW!

15 Jan, 2019 by Laura

I cannot say enough fabulous things about the staff at Mc Carthy Law in Scottsdale AZ. I was referred to them by a friend when I had ZERO hope of ever getting above water. It took a few years, I was NEVER pushed further than I could handle, and now its all settled and off my back. I believe they got it to around 56% of the original debt. They have an amazing practice, and reasonably priced if not underpriced for the service you get. Thank you so much!

We were very fortunate to have found Mr. Larry Karandreas to handle our Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I highly recommend him! He is a superb negotiator who is staunchly on your side. Our case was somewhat complicated and we ran into several unexpected snags during the course of our bankruptcy. Mr. Karandreas handled these surprises with professional aplomb. At the outset of our case Mr. Karandreas was able to set aside a large portion of our debt that was held by unsecured creditors that had not contacted us for a number of months. This was very helpful. Mr. Karandreas is clear and concise about what he needs to receive from you. He works to keep his fees as low as possible, but never misses a deadline, always giving you ample notice. He has a Shakespearean sense of humor with which he paints word pictures that leave the judge with no doubt as to the character of predatory lenders. If you choose Mr. Karandreas for your bankruptcy attorney, you will be in good hands. Thank you Larry Karandreas for a job well done!

22 Mar, 2019 by Ron

Larry helped us through a stressful time in our lives. He made the process seem less daunting and was with us every step of the way, answering any questions that we had. During the five years he was our attorney, he went above and beyond for our family.

28 Apr, 2016 by Fred & terry

Referred by family, Mr. Karandreas took the time to explain the totality of filing for Bankruptcy. His reassurance of the process made us feel comfortable. During this entire time Mr. Karandreas handled all issues in an exceptional and timely manner. He made himself available and made matters go smooth. He is a true professional that produces outstanding results. We absolutely and highly recommend Mr. Karandreas a man of high integrity and great character.

I've been the victim of identity theft and it's the most difficult thing to have to deal with. David has listened patiently and worked to help me resolve debts that I was wrongly being sued for. Words cannot express the professionalism, empathy and kindness David has demonstrated throughout this process.. Calls, emails etc… were beyond my expectations. I highly recommend David and I'm still continuing to fight with him in my corner. Again, thank you for all you do and many blesssigs.

David is a very caring, go the extra mile attorney that you don't run into very often. He is knowledgeable and is able to communicate well both with his clients and other parties involved. I would highly recommend David.

I had a debt turned over to collections that got out of control; I wasn't able to pay the exorbitant amount and started getting harassing calls at my place of work. In addition, I was embarrassed and scared of how to proceed. From the start to finish, David was understanding, non-judgemental, knowledgeable, and highly professional. His help resolved the situation completely, and it finally became manageable for me to pay off. I would recommend him to close friends, family, and strangers alike!

I had filed a CHPT 7 for my folks, and at the moment it felt like everything was crumbling to pieces. All of the staff we worked with were very responsive and answered all of our questions. Our world has come back together, and we have recovered. My family feels like this firm has made a huge impact on our lives today. Attorney Neeley is very, very good at his job. I would highly recommend his firm to anyone. Five stars and a smile.

Nat is a sharp, diligent and DEDICATED attorney. He gave me a very quick history on precedents of my legal issue, gave me some options, made recommendations and came up with a plan. He was instrumental in not only resolving a frustrating experience with my HOA.....but also set the scenario up so that if they *didn't* acquiesce, then we would be in a particularly advantageous position, legally speaking. Fortunately, that never had to play out, but he was ready to be there. If you want a lawyer who will listen, take your side, tell you your options and potential/likely outcomes, and is thinking multiple steps ahead of your adversary, and it willing to be generous and judicious with your/his time....then, hire him.

Attorney Nickele has done a wonderful job for us! He not only listened intently in our initial interview, but explained different courses of actions and the costs for each.

We opted to make the leap and do our trust at the same time. In the end, we love having a book and a digital copy of our documents. We have peace of mind knowing that Paula is available for questions and updates as needed. Not sure why we waited so long to get this all done.

I am grateful for Kristen and her services. Kristen represented my family cases for approximately 4 years. The overall case is complex needing representation with several components multiple times. Kristen was the 4th attorney that I had. The first was for the divorce; I wish I knew about Kristen then. I would have retained her immediately and likely never had to go through what I did. Kristen was up against a 'shark' of an attorney, who represented my ex. Kristen handled everything with grace and tact. There where moments when she presented the ugly truth to me in a kind way. Her knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. The only reason that I have new representation is because I moved across the country. She provided me with guidance to transfer my case. She also has great communication. I never felt that I was left hanging and wondering.

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother Ms. Mota. We are thankful for the extremely great work that this firm as well as Patrick Dennis and Brittany have provided to my mother on her case. After going back and forth with the other party and dealing with them not acting in good faith towards my mother Patrick the attorney in charge made them accountable and made sure that my mother was respected and collected a great settlement. When the other party offer a low offer settlement. Patrick said "NO"! And fought continuously to collect a good offer for my mother. If you are searching around for a law firm don't search any longer you will not regret hiring them to represent you. We will definitely keep them in mind for any further lawsuits we need to file. Thank you to the firm to the receptionist to the paralegals and most importantly to Patrick Dennis! Keep up the great work!

I had a good experience with Phoenix accident and injury law firm. I was afraid at first to get a lawyer because of my past experiences. But they put me at ease they kept me up to date with everything. They care about their clients. If you have a question they're there to answer it, if you have concerns they're there to listen. In the end when it was time to settle they came to me and did nothing until I said yes or no. They made me feel like I was a person and that what I had to say matter to them. I would recommend Phoenix accident and injury lawyers to anyone that needs a good lawyer and law firm. A sincere thank you to everyone that had any part with my case and helped in making this a great experience for me. Thank you!

In January 2022, I was in my car while a repossession was taking place. From inside the car, I told the driver to put my car back down and leave me alone. The tow truck driver refused and called the police who also agitated the situation. Long story short, I felt completely violated so I called Thompson Consumer Law Group the very next day. They were quick to gather my information, details about the incident, & an overview of the next steps. After months of patience & prayer, Russell Thompson from TCLG, was able to reach the settlement we discussed in January. I take pride working with them over any other law agency because they truly help people in tough situations by working pro bono. I’ve already recommended friends/family to use their service when they know their consumer rights have been violated. I wish I found this agency sooner, thank you to everyone at TCLG!

This is my first experience dealing with any legal dealings. It is nerve racking and there is a lot of information thrown at you that does not always make the most sense. Russ has taken the time to calm my nerves to tell me in layman's terms what things mean or what is being asked of me. The communication has been very great, I receive a response from him each time I reach out. When he has received an update that requires my approval or a discussion he calls to talk it all through over the phone and will always recap in an email when was talked about so we are always on the same page. I truly feel he has my best interest in mind and wants me to succeed in my case. He has listened to me babble about my case, my nerves, my emotions and frustrations that has come along with this journey. I am grateful my case made its way to Russ and that he is representing me.

Russell Thompson IV is an expert, diligent, and brave consumer attorney! He knows what he is doing, acts in a timely manner, and is not afraid of the insurance defense companies. Mr. Thompson represents me in a consumer matter. He has been on top of the case from the first day. I submitted the case through his web portal. He quickly reviewed and a few days later I got a letter accepting my case. Mr. Thompson filed a federal class-action lawsuit when the other side refused to settle. I attended the first court hearing and could tell Mr. Thompson did a great job from the respect the judge and defense lawyers gave him. It looks like Mr. Thompson has forced the other side to settle my case and when the papers should be final soon. You should hire Mr. Thompson because the insurance companies know him and they know he will sue the law-breaking companies making your life miserable.

Charles handled our bankruptcy in 2019. We were told that we could reaffirm our mortgage which we had never missed a payment on , and still have not. When we went to refinance this year we discovered he had never filed the reaffirmation paperwork he had said he would. He had assured us that while everything had to be incorporated in the bankruptcy that that would be reaffirmed as would our car loan that was also current. However, he sent someone in his stead to court and apparently left it up to that person to file the paperwork? I have tried contacting him several times and have received no response. He only responded to one text saying that “judges don’t reaffirm real property.” I’m not even sure what that means, but that was NEVER part of the conversation we had before. He had assured us that it would be reaffirmed. Otherwise, we would never have gone this route. The fact that he has not returned three emails to help us address this with our mortgage company, four years later leads to my frustration. It does not show any of our payments for the last four years to the credit bureau! And we are stuck on how to reaffirm our mortgage. Very frustrating! I would not recommend going to this lawyer. We were handed off and the paperwork not properly filed and now no response at our request for help.

This review is well over due! Mr. Bybee was very helpful in getting an old issue cleared up so we could close on our home. We would highly recommend him for your legal needs.

I was looking for an attorney to handle a debt that arose from an apartment lease agreement. The landlord was playing hardball because of a negative (but honest) review I left online. The landlord even refused to accept full payment because I insisted we sign a release. When I contacted this Bybee character he sounded arrogant. I had to sell myself and my case to him even when I was willing to pay for his services. While describing the situation I mentioned the negative review I left and he interjected with "there goes any good will". There I was with my wallet open looking for representation and he did nothing but question me at every point. If you like being treated like a second class citizen this is your guy. Otherwise I'd recommend finding someone with better bedside manners.

We were recently represented by Floyd Bybee and found that his legal sense, personal attention to client needs, and overall attitude was above and beyond. When it comes to consumer rights, he has the expertise to navigate those areas that other attorneys simply can't deal with. He was there for us and never backed down. A wonderful attorney!

I paid the fee to talk to a lawyer because I did not know who was keeping me from registering my vehicle. Time was getting close and I was stressed. Mr. Fuerst was worth every penny! Just by asking questions, calming me down, and what it could NOT possibly be I was able to think about it and figure it out. Just a ticket with one payment made late! That late fee was keeping me from being able to register my car. What I thought was going to cost $1000's was a mere $65.00. Thank you Nicholas! Sorry if I was a nut case......

He was honest about the information and provided other contacts that might help me further.

I engaged Mr. Fuerst Oct 2012 for a simple case. He did not complete the filing in spite of being ordered by the judge to do so one year later. He didn't return my calls in spite of commitments to do so by specified dates. He did not file my case correctly yet did not communicate to me if he was not competent with the subject matter of the case if that was the barrier to proper filing. He did not execute on legal filings in a timely fashion and when done did not do so properly as noted above. He provided me with inaccurate information (would commit to completing a filing but did not do so when I called to follow up). I had to discharge him due to utter frustration and exasperation related to his unprofessional conduct. My new lawyer completed the task in 30 days! I recommend avoiding this lawyer if you desire prompt service, professional, trustworthy communication and dependable follow-through. Unfortunately you will not find any of these desirable qualities if you retain this lawyer.

What a Debt Settlement Lawyer Can Do for You

A debt settlement lawyer specializes in helping individuals and businesses negotiate with creditors to reduce or eliminate unsecured debts, such as credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans. These lawyers provide legal advice on debt relief options, represent you in negotiations, and protect your rights under consumer protection laws. By leveraging their expertise, a debt settlement lawyer can often secure more favorable terms than you might achieve on your own, potentially reducing the total amount owed and helping you avoid bankruptcy.

When Should I Hire a Debt Settlement Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a debt settlement lawyer in the following situations:

Overwhelming Debt: If you're struggling to make minimum payments on your debts or are facing significant financial hardship, a lawyer can help explore options to reduce your debt burden.
Creditor Harassment: If creditors or collection agencies are harassing you with frequent calls, letters, or threats, a lawyer can intervene to protect your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Lawsuits from Creditors: If a creditor has filed a lawsuit against you for unpaid debts, a lawyer can represent you in court and negotiate settlements to prevent wage garnishment or asset seizure.
Complex Debt Situations: If your debts involve legal complexities, such as co-signers, joint accounts, or disputed charges, a lawyer can navigate these issues effectively.
Considering Bankruptcy: If you're contemplating bankruptcy but want to explore alternatives, a debt settlement lawyer can advise on whether debt settlement is a better option for your situation.
Protecting Assets: If you have significant assets you wish to protect from creditors, a lawyer can help structure settlements to safeguard your property.

Hiring a lawyer early can maximize your chances of a favorable outcome and prevent legal missteps that could worsen your financial situation.

What Does a Debt Settlement Lawyer Do?

A debt settlement lawyer provides a range of services to help you manage and reduce your debts:

Legal Consultation: Evaluates your financial situation, explains your rights, and advises on the best debt relief options, such as debt settlement, debt consolidation, or bankruptcy.
Negotiating with Creditors: Communicates with creditors and collection agencies on your behalf to negotiate reduced settlements, lower interest rates, or extended repayment terms.
Drafting Settlement Agreements: Prepares legally binding agreements that outline the terms of the settlement, ensuring that the creditor cannot pursue additional claims once the debt is settled.
Protecting Against Creditor Harassment: Uses legal tools to stop abusive collection practices and enforces your rights under consumer protection laws.
Representing You in Court: If creditors file lawsuits, the lawyer can defend you, potentially getting cases dismissed or negotiating settlements to avoid judgments.
Financial Planning Advice: Provides guidance on budgeting, managing expenses, and rebuilding credit after debt settlement.
Bankruptcy Alternatives: Helps you explore alternatives to bankruptcy, which can have long-term effects on your credit and financial opportunities.

How Are Debt Settlement Lawyers Paid?

Debt settlement lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:

Flat Fee: A set fee for specific services, such as negotiating with a single creditor or handling a straightforward settlement.
Hourly Rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can range from $200 to $500 or more per hour, depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
Percentage of Savings: Some lawyers charge a fee based on a percentage of the amount they save you in the settlement. For example, if they negotiate a $10,000 debt down to $6,000, they might charge 25% of the $4,000 saved.
Retainer Fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts fees as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
Payment Plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable, allowing you to pay the fee over time.

It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the total cost and ensure it fits within your budget.

How Much Does a Debt Settlement Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a debt settlement lawyer varies based on several factors:

Flat Fees: May range from $500 to $3,000 per creditor, depending on the complexity of the negotiations.
Hourly Rates: Typically between $200 and $500 per hour. Total costs depend on the amount of time required to settle your debts.
Percentage of Savings: Commonly 15% to 25% of the amount saved through negotiation. For example, if your lawyer saves you $10,000, their fee might be $1,500 to $2,500.
Retainer Fees: Initial retainers can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the anticipated workload.

Additional costs may include:

Court Fees: If legal action is necessary, such as filing motions or defending against lawsuits.
Administrative Fees: Charges for copying documents, postage, or other administrative tasks.

Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss all potential costs upfront to avoid unexpected expenses.

How to Check the Credibility of a Debt Settlement Lawyer

Verify Their License: Ensure the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state's bar association.
Experience and Specialization: Look for a lawyer who specializes in debt settlement or consumer debt law.
Client Reviews and Testimonials: Research online reviews or ask for references to learn about other clients' experiences.
Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) or local bar associations can indicate a commitment to the field.
Disciplinary Record: Check for any past disciplinary actions or complaints filed against the lawyer.
Consultation Feedback: Use the initial consultation to assess their communication style, professionalism, and confidence in handling your case.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a debt settlement lawyer, bring the following:

Detailed List of Debts: Include all creditors, account numbers, balances, interest rates, and any correspondence you've received.
Income and Expense Statements: Provide documentation of your income sources and monthly expenses to give the lawyer a clear picture of your financial situation.
Credit Reports: Obtain a recent copy of your credit report from all three major bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax).
Correspondence from Creditors: Bring any letters, notices, or legal documents you've received from creditors or collection agencies.
Legal Documents: If you've been served with lawsuits, summons, or wage garnishment orders, bring those documents.
Questions and Concerns: Prepare a list of questions about your options, the debt settlement process, and potential outcomes.
Budget Information: Be ready to discuss what you can realistically afford to pay toward settlements.

By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
