Client Review:
I recently discovered a civil judgement on my credit report. It was from a debt in 2001. The judgement was entered in Ramsey County, I have been living in Ca since 2003. I did not want to spend extra money to fly to MN and attempt to resolve the issue. I searched for attorneys online and found Bill's office. Sent my initial email, Bill was out of the office, but another guy name Paul that worked with him provided detailed information. Bill returned and called me immediately. I was very impressed by how prompt he called me back. He threw suggestions out there and advised which documents I would need. As soon as I gather those documents I sent them to him and he went to work. He's been mailed me correspondence and kept me updated via phone calls. I'm very glad to have found him. Recommend his services to anyone!! His office is great at relaying messages to him too. And if they can grab you a copy of something they will. Very REASONABLE price!!! EXTREMELY HONEST.

Mr. Michelson is an excellent attorney

Client Review:
Mr. Michelson stepped in and helped me when I didn't think there was any hope. I am a single mother of four who experienced major credit card debt while trying to finish raising my children. I paid and paid on the credit cards and wasn't making any headway. When I sought help with a credit counseling agency, they took my money and left me in worse shape than I already was. I found Mr. Michelson online, contacted him, and he stepped in and took over even when he was scheduled to go on vacation. Mr. Michelson made my case a priority as I was currently being sued in court. Mr. Michelson stopped the harassment and debt collection. Mr. Michelson treated me with respect and empathy. I could never thank Mr. Michelson enough and would definitely recommend him to anyone.

  • I used William 1-3 years ago.
  • William handled my Debt Collection matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
I looked Bill up on the internet because we needed a good credit attorney. I had no idea where to go and hesitated calling anyone for fear we would get charged for every word we said and would end up owing anyway. You see, we got hit with a judgment on an old credit card debt and monies were taken out of our savings account without our knowledge. We met with Bill and told him our story. He felt the debt collection attorney gave bad service and demanded the judgments be vacated (there were 2). We put our trust in Bill and he came through with flying colors. He got our money back and gave us the necessary letter to have our credit report cleared. I hope we never have to use him again but would without hesitation.

Client Review:
I would recommend Bill Michelson to anyone who has need of a lawyer. Bill helped us with our debt when we thought it was hopeless. He took over and handled the situation and it took a lot of pressure off us.
He negotiated with all our creditors and he skillfully and knowledgeably handled our court case. He helped us over the long haul and got us back on track.

Client Review:
I was in the midst of 3 year battle with a credit card company over an account of my ex-wife's from more than 15 years ago. Every lawyer I talked to told me there was nothing to do but settle with them.

Bill not only took my case, he took the battle to the credit card company. He stood by me even though I was unable to continue paying him and fought to the end and won an incredibly difficult case. He believed in me and my case and I can't find the words that do justice to his effort.

Without him I would have filed bankruptcy and my finances would have been completely destroyed over something I had no part of. He's an incredible individual and highly knowledgeable lawyer who refused to allow the credit card company to beat me just by outspending me.

Bill's my hero. He saved my life. I kid you not.

Great firm, great advise, great lawyer.

Client Review:
I stumbled across Mr. Michelson's website during a panic after being served by a debt collection company regarding a past credit card issue. Bill was professional, understanding, non-judgemental yet upfront and direct. After reviewing my situation and finding details that suggested fair debt collection practices issues, he worked with legal representation of the colelction agency and resolved the situation in a way that saved me money and addressed my credit reporting bureau concerns. The investment in expert legal help was the best decision I made during this siutation and paid off in less stess, peace of mind and a better outcome than I could've hoped for. So thankful that I didn't have to go it alone. Calling a qualified attorney like Bill Michelson is the best first step to take if you find yourself dealing with debt and collection problems.

Client Review:
When I went to Bill in the beginning of 08 I had over 500,000 of unsecured debt for my two business and personal accounts with interest rates of way over 20%. I had tried one of those agencies that you see on tv and mail you offers to reduce your debt. The one I used charge a ton up front and is now out of business. I was getting nasty calls from creditors and didn't know where to go. I found bill on the internet and made an appointment. Two years later my debt is about 100,000 grand and I would say my average for the settlements is about 25%. All I can say is I am glad Bill is on my side. He is tough with creditors and know the law and won't let the debt collectors bully his clients. In the end he is way cheaper than the debt relief agencies, because you pay him by the hour and only pay for what he does. Anybody who needs representation should look no further than Bill Michelson.

Bill was a great help.

I have used Bill now for 2 debt collections. The first saved me several thousand dollars and the second saved me 3 times that amount. I will use him again in the future and recommend him to any one I know that needs his type of legal help.

Client Review:
There was an old judgment on my credit report that was preventing me from moving forward.

I did not know what to do and was just a small person up against big guys with lots of heavy tools.

I was afraid to move.

William Michelson had the knowledge and skills to take this on and be successful on my behalf.

The ball and chain of this old debt is gone and now I am free to have a better life.

Don't wait another day! Call this guy to find out if you can get your freedom back.

Hands down the best attorney I have ever worked with. He helped save me hundreds of thousands of dollars. He vigorously defended me against debt collectors and won. He made debt collectors pay me because the violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Client Review:
William Michelson saved me from countless Debt Collectors and saved me from filing Bancruptcy, we were unable to file because of our company situation and it was a very complicated file, He has worked diligently to save me over $100,000 of debt and with his great knowledge and assistance, some of the collection companies had to pay me for improper collection procedures.

If you are choosing an attorney, call William, I have not encountered any other attorneys that can do what he can and give you the feeling that someone else cares about you in a tough time!

I have worked with William in other business and personal legal situations over the last 20+ years and he has always come through for me and others I have refered him to.
