I am incredibly satisfied with the service provided by Solomon Immigration Law. They are always on top of things—meticulous, organized, and consistently reliable. Whenever I send a package, they promptly acknowledge receipt, even on weekends, which gives me great peace of mind. Allison, my paralegal, was exceptionally thorough, making sure every detail was covered. Their dedication and attention to detail are truly amazing. I highly recommend Solomon Immigration Law for their outstanding service!

Tim Sullivan is an Outstanding attorney. From the first consult he took the time to explain the various options available, including the pros and cons of each. He provided a roadmap and timeline based upon the particulars of my case. Tim has extensive experience as an attorney handling DUI cases. He handled multiple court appearances without me attending. Tim provided the process and steps necessary for me, explained what to expect at each step in the process. This was very emotionally reassuring since it was my first time being in trouble with the law.
His office staff Christina Smith Legal assistant, was outstanding responding to my requests and keeping me in the loop on all schedules and communication. The electronic file storage system is a genuine asset. As a client, I was able to upload and view my case documents. Whenever I had a question Tim or Christina responded almost instantaneously.
One of his greatest attributes is his reassurances on the issues which had a calming affect on me. Keeping me abreast, Tim immediately responded to my questions. I also enjoyed his Skype message updates. Before trial, Tim gave me the trial process, step-by-step format. The day before the trial/plea he called me and went over expectations and instructions. Outstanding communicator. I highly recommend Tim Sullivan as a DUI Defense Attorney!

I hired Monk Law Firm to help me fight for custody of my daughter. Not only did they help me get custody, but they also helped me write my living will and also helped me fight off a frivolous lawsuit from my ex-in-laws. It was 3 years of headaches for me but Brian and the team at Monk law firm worked hard and won my cases. It's not anything I ever want to go through again but I'm glad I had Monk Law Firm on my side.
Thank you, Brian.

I hired Mr. Monk to assist in a paternity case. I was so nervous when I hired him because I had never been though any court matters before.
Him and his team truly work together like a well oiled engine. They are quick to respond, answer questions clearly, and definitely gave that piece of mind I needed. Mr. Monk had a clear strategy and his years of experience really do show in the best ways.
Not to mention he is a 3rd generation attorney!!
I wouldn't recommend any other attorney!!!

Nobody likes to be sued, but having a lawyer like Michael made me forget it was even happening ! I mean, he handled everything so quickly and professionally that it required little input or time on my part. He settled my case for significantly under half the amount with low monthly payments as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better deal or process. While I hope I’ll never be in this situation again, he would definitely be my first choice for representation. Thank you Michael and Al

It's not easy to file for bankruptcy, let alone find a reputable attorney. I didn't want to talk about it to any of my friends or relatives, so my husband googled "Best Bankruptcy Lawyer in Sarasota, FL" and Ms. Sherry Ellis' name popped up. I've had no regrets since contacting her. The amount of paperwork was insurmountable but Ms. Sherry explained the need and how it would help to determine the type of bankruptcy to file for. She has guided me throughout the whole process and was at my side during the court intervention. I didn't feel alone or ashamed of having to file for bankruptcy at all.

It took a while to settle our case; however, Natalie kept us positive by encouraging us to remain calm and let the things law of work. Boukzam Law was always just an email or phone call away which is an encouragement. Natalie knows how the system works as I recall, early on on she told us it could take a while and she was right. It took five years to get a settlement on our case but we got it! If you are contemplating hiring a lawyer to deal with your Timeshare issues; I recommend Boukzam Law.

Hired Boukzam Law in January 2024 for DVC. Immediately Ryan was on the case and kept in contact with me throughout the whole process. Expecting the process to be tedious and long, but little did we know in April 2024 we had a favorable resolution. Not all cases are the same, but fortunately for us their representation was all it took.
Thank you Boukzam Law for a smooth process

I'm glad I made the decision to hire Kaelyn. Between Kaelyn, Nathalie, and Crystal they have handled every aspect of this entire process of CH. 13 so much easier than I thought. After notifying my creditors of their representation in my case I was still contacted by some of the creditors, and they fought for my settlements against them for contacting me and have received some settlement checks already in my favor. Wonderful job and they really make the process as easy for you as possible. Would definitely recommend

The right attorney does make a difference. Right from the beginning we could tell Ms. Diamond was going to take care of this problem. After asking us just a few questions, she knew exactly what was wrong and she knew just how to proceed. She always answered all our questions patiently and completely and without making us feel like we were dumb or wasting her time. She and her staff kept us informed all along the way. We have been stressing over this situation for years but after finding Kaelyn Diamond, Esq. and Ziegler Diamond Law/Debtfighters, it was taken care of in just a few short months. If you want an attorney who cares and really knows what they are doing, then you need Kaelyn Diamond, Esq.

My wife and I had a business go under in 2019. Carolyn treated us with respect and told us everything we needed to do, to file our business bankruptcy. She took away the guilt we were feeling by being so supportive and sweet. Her assistant Sam, guided us through every step that we needed to follow for the trustee. Because we had so much debt from the business, we also had to file personal bankruptcy. Again Carolyn and Sam were there to explain everything and guide us through the process. They were always there to answer our questions. Carolyn even called us back to answer our question while she was on vacation in another country. How many lawyers would do that? Both bankruptcies went smoothly because of Carolyns' expertise, efficiency and knowledge. We recommend Carolyn Secor to everyone who needs an efficient lawyer who treats you like family and will get things done . She makes an uncomfortable situation comfortable. Thank you so much Carolyn we appreciate you getting us through this difficult time, Ron & Cory.

I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of the outstanding work David Herman and New Day Law Group performed as my legal representation in settlement negotiations.
As a client experiencing financial hardship, I was in a position of significant stress. David Herman stepped in with optimism and determination and negotiated a settlement that I would not have been able to do with my limited experience. His confidence and professional experience enabled him to quickly deal with my situation. David is one of those unique individuals who is willing to take on seemingly impossible challenges and make a personal commitment to ensure it is done ‘right’.

The escrow title attorney made a request within two weeks of the closing of the estate sale. Melissa changed her schedule to accommodate my mother and I by filing a petition with the guardianship court in one business day.

I contacted Mr. Coburn for some simple legal advise regarding real estate. I had at least 3 issues where I may need to hire an attorney. He took the time to listen to all my concerns and explained what he could help me with and what he couldn't help me with. He gave me some great advise, and was extremely patient, courteous, kind, honest and a great help to me. He let me know, I don't need to hire him just yet, but advised me on if a certain something didn't happen in a timely manner, that I could hire him with an easy open and shut case - pretty much based on what the law and statute requires. He took his time with me. Did not rush me at all - and I had a lot of questions! He was great! and I assure you, if my situation doesn't pan out like it should and I need to hire an attorney, I will be calling him immediately. I loved his honesty and him being real with me. Some lawyers just want your money and would gladly take you for a ride just to get it. He clearly let me know, what was worth chasing after with a lawsuit and what wasn't. I really appreciate his time and the knowledge he shared with me. I will hire him if needed, and I highly recommend to anyone who needs an attorney with his expertise to hire him.
Thanks for your help Guy!! Sincerely!!

Bankruptcy Attorney, Mr. Rehan Khawaja and his Legal Assistant, Mr. John Walker are professionals who I highly recommend in helping with your legal concerns. Mr. Khawaja from day one of my initial consultation was so very understanding, professional and brilliant at knowing how to help me. He really put me at ease with my situation since I was unsure how most of the process worked. Anytime I needed to speak with Mr. Khawaja, he was immediately available and always willing to explain in detail what I did not understand. What I realized about working with this attorney is that he is extremely proficient in every part of what he does. He did not waste time on any matter and is completely brilliant in his field understanding how the law works. For my 341 meeting, I was completely confident knowing he was there to help represent me. When I noticed other people in the meeting with different lawyers I knew immediately I had chosen the right person as Mr. Khawaja is always highly professional in both appearance and attitude. He is a highly qualified lawyer and I am so THANKFUL he has been able to help me lift the burden of debt from my shoulders so I can breathe. Thank you so very much for all of your help and time!!! I couldn’t believe when I received a letter in the mail stating my bankruptcy was discharged. I had been contemplating bankruptcy for most of my adult life and was always told by others how hard it was to do and how it would not work or be good. I was so nervous and concerned going into this, but Mr. Khawaja made it seem so easy and simple. I am truly amazed by how excellent a lawyer he is. In addition, his legal assistant, Mr. Walker is so knowledgeable, helpful, kind and together these two are the experience you need in order to get through a bankruptcy.

Rehan was a real person helping me to navigate a very difficult legal case, due to another lawyer's shoddy work. He took my case in the most difficult time. He saved my life from going to jail because of misunderstanding that occurred in the initial BK process. He helped to restructure my debt with a Ch. 13 100% repayment plan. He recently helped me an my husband to gain permission from the trustee to purchase our first home. I am so grateful for Mr. Khawaja's ability to turn my life around with his hard work. He provides honesty and demonstrates a great proficiency for his work. Anyone in the Florida area should work with Rehan, he is the absolute best bankruptcy lawyer out there.

Mr. Petersen is extremely knowledgable in consumer debt collection and consumer collection cases. Hired this attorney for an aggressive debt collector that had incorrectly reported to credit report and was calling continually, violating several laws. He was able to quickly resolve the issue and represent me in the court case. He thoroughly understands and defends consumer rights against these companies that will try to bully you while they knowingly violate laws, and I had utmost confidence in his handling he case. He is on your side as a consumer, and fee structure was very fair. I have hired numerous attorneys over the years for different needs, and for consumer collection and litigation he is the best I've hired, can't recommend enough.

We were trying to sell our house Buy Owner. We had been through 3 different contracts when we decided we would obtain a lawyer to help us with the sale of our home. We have always sought out referrals from friends, co-workers, and Angies list when needing help. Since no one we knew had any suggestions we Googled a Real Estate Attorney in Coral Springs. Several names were generated and referred to an Avvo rating. Andrew Garofalo's rating was high and we called him. He was not available but called us back in a short time. We liked the introductory phone call and decided to choose him to help us in our process. We are so happy that we did!
Andrew helped us every step of the way! This was the first house we ever sold and knew only what we read on the internet. He was professional from the beginning. He instructed and suggested what we needed to do . He was quick to begin with the necessary documents and remained knowledgeable, efficient and precise with all the forms to the close. He kept us fully apprised of all correspondence that he sent out, on our behalf, and all correspondence that he received. He promptly responded to emails and the numerous questions that we had. He intervened on our behalf so we did not have to deal with the buyer, the buyers realtor and title company....which was great! He was efficient, knowledgeable, and meticulous with all the documents to the very end. In meeting with him personally, for the closing, he was pleasant, polite and courteous. It was such a HUGE relief to have him intervening on our behalf. He helped us tremendously! We are very grateful to him and feel very blessed to have been led to him.

Andrew is very Knowledgeable and Professional and will always take time to explain if and when it is needed. He will of course give you all the Legal reasons but when asked give his educated opinion as well. Andrew was also very "Reachable". If he was not immediatley available he would call back quickly.
From dealing with Attorneys previously, I found Andrews fees to be fair. I have delt with lawyers who (Very obviously) just wanted to strech out my time and bill more hours and consequently MORE Money.
Andrew is clearly not that way. He seems to actually care about you and truly wants the best outcome for you.
I have found him to be Smart, Honest and actually a Good Guy. I Trust his advice.
Andrew helped me with a Forclosure and Bank Re-financing. He negotiated dates and mortgage issues with Bank of America in less than a month. I had previously TRIED to work with B of A for about 2 years with NO help from them at all. (Just Headaches.)
I would absolutey (and already have) refer Andrew to my friends and Family.

I left Mr. Churchill a message on a Sunday, and he called me back the same day. He spent almost an hour over the phone with me walking me through what to expect the next day when I went to court for an eviction. I was scared to death about court and had just found out I had a hearing the Friday before. I can’t thank him enough for how much he helped calm my nerves and for all the information he gave me to help me. He’s definitely an A+ lawyer and person in my eyes.

I would like to express my highest gratitude and respect for this amazing attorney. I fell victim to an expensive scam by a practicing physician in Florida, and I was not sure where to turn. I found Mr. Churchill on AVVO, and of course, the reviews were on point. I called him at lunchtime on a Friday, and received a call back within fewer than 3 hours. He listened to my story, and with the calmest and most complete advice, he offered to me what should be the next steps for me to take. I feel absolutely 1000% confident that I have found the right attorney for my situation. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Churchill. THANK you sir!

When starting the Chapter 7 process we felt so lost and frustrated not knowing who to trust and where to turn. We researched and interviewed numerous attorneys for months and in the end no one compared to Erin Tudhope. The embarrassment, shame, and frustration associated with bankruptcy was overwhelming for me but Erin was calming and very supportive. She answered all our questions and stood by us throughout the entire process. Very professional, knowledgeable, and detailed. I highly recommend her!

I worked with Erin on a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. She was extremely knowledgable and helped guide me through the the very tedious and grueling process of bankruptcy. I felt that she really seemed to humanize the process and was very attentive to my specific needs. She and her staff were always extremely helpful when I needed questions answered or more information. She really took the stress out of the entire process and I am so thankful she was there to help me during my bankruptcy.

As a client of Ms. Gahanian, I could have not been more impressed, confident, and satisfied with her knowledge of the law, her “bedside manner”, integrity, speed of response and work, and complete professionalism at all times. In other words, if you need legal assistance with which she can help, she is truly “the total package”.

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.

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.
