Do I need to be behind on my creditor payments to get help?
Not always. Many clients seek legal guidance before they fall behind on their debt obligations. Seeking advice early can provide you with more options and greater flexibility. Our firm can help you understand your options, assess risks, and develop a strategy to address debt before it becomes overwhelming.

Can a creditor sue me on a debt that I previously paid off?
Generally, a creditor cannot pursue a collection lawsuit on a debt that has already been paid or otherwise satisfied. Yet these types of lawsuits are filed against consumers more often than many realize. Our litigation defense attorneys routinely defend clients facing such claims and pursue counterclaims when warranted to hold creditors accountable.

Can you stop my creditors from calling me?
Debt collectors are required by federal law to obey written instructions to stop calling you, but original creditors are generally not. However, when you hire our law firm, one of our top priorities is to handle all communications with your creditors for you. In fact, one of the first actions we take is informing your creditors that you are now represented by our firm, and to direct all communications to us.

I have a financial hardship – how can I afford to hire a law firm?
We understand that financial hardships place burdens on individuals and families. The last thing anyone facing these challenges should have to worry about is whether quality legal representation is beyond their reach. It’s why we are committed to providing experienced, competent legal services at fees that are mindful of our clients’ circumstances. Depending on the type of matter, our fee structures vary, and in many cases we don’t earn any fee unless we obtain a result that you approve.
