Yes, if you do not have a lawyer, another lawyer can call you directly, unless you say otherwise. If the lawyer is collecticng a debt, he/she may be subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If you dispute the debt, you should send a letter to the lawyer indicating that you dispute the debt and demand validation. You should keep copies of everything you receive or send, and possibly keep a diary of all telephone calls. The lawyer does not have to send you anything at first, but you can tell the lawyer, that you would prefer all contact to be in writing.
