I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr D'onofrio regarding my divorce and he provided me with valuable insights that made my legal separation from my ex-wife far more equitable. I wasn't able to retain his services only because we were married in another state. I recommend his services to anyone who needs a friend in the legal business. John

Mr. Loscalzo handled my case in a way that was legal and a way that i was able to understand. The entire process for me to become debt free was a lot easier and not as nerve-wrecking as i thought. I was able to settle my debts for only a fraction, a small fraction at that, of what i originally owed.

When my case first arose, I wasn't going to hire a lawyer at all because I did not think I had a strong case. I could not believe the incredible settlement Michael and his team got for me. He really went deep into the details of the case and fought hard for me in court. I am so grateful and strongly recommend his services.

j I retained Mr.Locke to help me vacate a wrongful judgment imposed against my husband and I in New York (we live in Illinois). Mr Locke was professional and acted quickly in order to vacate the judgment. He was always available, always returned my phone calls and e-mails and kept me informed as to the status of my case. As a result of Mr.Locke's diligent efforts, the wrongful judgment was removed and my husband and I were able to regain access to our funds. I would highly recommend Mr.Locke as an attorney for his professionalism and positive results.

In just a matter of a few days, Jim had negotiated a very favorable settlement. I highly recommend Jim if you find yourself in a similar situation and are in need of representation.

I recently had the privilege of working with Jason Barbara during a challenging time in my life, and I cannot speak highly enough of their services. From start to finish, Jason Barbara demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and compassion. From our initial consultation, Jason Barbara took the time to understand the intricacies of my situation and provided clear, practical advice that helped me navigate the complexities of the divorce process. Their deep knowledge of family law was evident in every interaction, and they consistently offered sound strategies that prioritized my best interests. What truly stood out was Jason Barbara’s ability to balance empathy with assertiveness. They were always available to answer questions, address concerns, and provide reassurance during what was undoubtedly a stressful period. Their support was not just legal, but also emotional, making a significant difference in how I experienced the process. Jason Barbara was incredibly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that no aspect of the case was overlooked. Their negotiation skills were impressive, and they were adept at achieving fair and favorable outcomes. I felt confident and well-represented throughout every phase of the proceedings. In addition to their professional prowess, Jason Barbara and their team were approachable, respectful, and committed to delivering the best results. They made a difficult situation more manageable with their dedication and skill. If you find yourself in need of a divorce lawyer who combines legal acumen with genuine care, I wholeheartedly recommend Jason Barbara. Their expertise and dedication make them an invaluable ally during such a pivotal time in life. Thank you, Jason Barbara, for your outstanding work and support!

Nothing has been done on my case for over a year, and the dude still held on to my balance and refused to give me a final invoice, adding to the emotional stress. I cannot get another lawyer until I am cleared from him financially. But he won't give me a final invoice and the balance so I can move forward. How are these things right?. This is one of the main reasons for firing him. Lies, lies, lies, lies. Do NOT use this firm!

I am so glad I decided to work with him as the police officer told the story of what happen in such a mixed up way Jason Bassett was able to prove my innocence and also further more proved the officer didn’t know the facts he was speaking on.

From start to finish, the entire process took just a few months, which was significantly expedited thanks to Dotan's expertise. Dotan was incredibly nice, helpful, and communicative throughout. He meticulously prepared both of us for our interviews, ensuring we had every possible document that would strengthen our case. His preparation was spot on, and thanks to his thorough guidance, our application was successful. One of the standout aspects of working with Dotan was his availability. He was always reachable for any questions or concerns we had, making the entire process much less stressful. His fee structure was transparent and reasonable, with no hidden surprises. What truly set Dotan apart was his ability to think outside the box, especially regarding our financial sponsorship situation. He provided us with creative options that ultimately allowed us to save money without compromising our application.

Updated review. I cannot stress to anybody reading this enough: who you hire matters and you get what you pay for. Attorney’s have case after case slide across their desk. It’s a job at the end of the day to most. If Aaron Shapiro or the force that is Amanda Schaffer takes your case, TRUST THEM. Full disclosure: I am a nightmare client. On a scale from 1-10, I’m an 11 in terms of annoying. My son is my absolute world. I have been a “white pony” more times than you can imagine. Over-billed. None of it made sense. Those attorneys cared about a paycheck. Aaron and Amanda are not only EXCELLENT attorneys, they’re good people. They have a backbone. Their time is valuable. They’re not cheap. Know that. When your child, freedom, or immigration status is on the line — don’t put it in the hands of someone who treats you like a file. The legal progress is exhausting (mentally and financially — I know it all too well.) It’s unfair. Read that again. No attorney should ever promise you a victory.

I'm not one to typically write reviews, but my experience with Amanda Shaffer from The Shapiro Law Firm was truly exceptional and warranted sharing. I had the pleasure of working with Amanda on my immigration case, and I must say, she exceeded my expectations in every way. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication to her clients are truly exceptional. Unfortunately, my case was previously mishandled by another lawyer, who failed to properly file my application, leading to potential denial. However, Amanda Shaffer stepped in and quickly turned things around. She was frustrated by the mistakes made by my previous lawyer and immediately took action to combat their response. Amanda's expertise and knowledge of immigration law are impressive. She took the time to understand my situation, answered all my questions, and provided clear guidance throughout the complex immigration process. Her attention to detail and ability to navigate intricate immigration laws with ease are truly remarkable. What impressed me most was Amanda's proactive approach to resolving my case. She identified solutions and opportunities that I hadn't considered and worked tirelessly to ensure a successful outcome. Her dedication and commitment to her clients are unparalleled. I also valued Amanda's empathetic and understanding nature, which made a difficult and stressful situation more manageable. Her kindness, patience, and willingness to listen made me feel heard and validated. I highly recommend Amanda Shaffer and The Shapiro Law Firm to anyone seeking a skilled, reliable, and empathetic immigration lawyer. Amanda is a true asset to her profession, and I feel fortunate to have had her by my side during a challenging time. Thank you, Amanda, for your outstanding service, support, and dedication. You truly made a difference in my life and helped me achieve my immigration goals, despite the mistakes of my previous lawyer!

Brian was very helpful when my partner and I got into an accident. He not only guided us through the legal proceedings of the case, but he assisted in referring me to a convenient physical therapist in my area. Accidents aren't a good time for anyone, but he made sure to contact us and make sure to keep us updated on how everything was moving along.

From the beginning, they showed genuine concern and work with me. They answered all my questions and addressed my worries. They were always working to get me a decent settlement. Brian, Adam and Tom are the best. I want to thank them and their team for all their help. To them it's not business because they really showed they care.

I called to get some legal advice. Once the attorney advised "no money in family cases" the call was cut short with no legal advice at all. It just had a very cold feel to the call and if a law firm is dealing with victims they should be more self aware of their tone and handling. I only gave it a 2 star because the website was helpful with some information. But the customer experience from the first call with the front desk to Bryan was not a great experience at all. Rushed, cut short.

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.

  • 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:
