CREDIT FIX

I have a couple of collection accounts that I want to get removed…. I was going through a divorce and lost track of certain bills/paperwork. Also I have completed a student loan that went into default. I have been making on time payment with the new provider but the old loans still remain as closed/t...ransferred with the negative payments history on them. Shouldn’t they be deleted Since the same loans are now with a new loan provider? It is essentially duplicated reporting them right? I am planning on getting married in a couple years and want to buy a house with my current boyfriend and with this stuff on my report I fear I won’t be able to do this. This was exactly my story until I contacted PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who did the magic by clearing all the debts and raised my score 804 excellent across the bureaus and even added some positive tradelines on my report. I was able to get a good house with a very low interest rate. Thank you for helping me…. EMAIL: [email protected] for clearing of debts and more just the way I did or TEXT +1 (323) 406 1225.

Responsive & caring

I hired Max to help me with an unusual real estate matter that was not at all straightforward. He was responsive and caring, advising me on my options and ultimately resolving the matter in a way sensitive to the needs of all involved parties. I highly recommend him!

poor communication, lack of work

Took a retainer, accomplished nothing in over 2 months. Wouldn't answer any questions I had directly reguarding when he intended to start my paperwork. Never spoke to him in person, and it usually took a few days to hear back after I emailed him. Only decent thing he did for me was refund my entire r...etainer, but legally he had to because no work on my case had been done.

This 100% fair and accurate. COVID-19 slowed down my practice a lot more than I had anticipated and I was not able to give this matter the diligence and attention it deserved. My sincere apologies for any delay this has caused. Please do feel free to contact me directly if there is anything else I can do to make this right for you. Sincerely, Max

The best Attorney I have met in Hancock County

Attorney Coolidge took my case on. He really cares about his clients. You can tell his career is about much more than finances. He took the time to get to know me and build a very detailed and well thought out argument on my behalf. He was able to get my felony theft charge dropped down to a misdem...eanor as long as I completed the requirements of my differed disposition. He was always quick to respond to my Emails. I am very grateful for Attorney Coolidge. If I were ever to need an Attorney again, without a doubt I would choose him!

Stellar lawyer

Max was stellar in representing me during my divorce. He was highly responsive, knowledgable and always protected my interests. You will not find a better advocate and lawyer.
