review

I have been working with action advocacy for the last two years. I think in the end it was worth the money I paid them, but I worked with a paralegal the entire time only met with attorney once. The paralegal wasn't overly friendly or helpful so it wasn't a very reassuring experience. Also I still ...had to do a lot of calls/work myself. They never tried getting anything deleted off my credit report either, they only settled the debts. Didn't feel like they really "fought for me" with these collection agencies. I probably could have just called them and settled with them myself. I learned a lot more with My FICO website than I did paying action advocacy.

HALLELUJAH!! I found a good Bankruptcy to Attorney

Attorney Dave Falvey is certainly the ‘go to’ attorney for bankruptcy in New London County. I was over the median income and owed over $200,000 in credit card debt. With great patience and determination, Dave carefully gathered my information and he ‘beat’ the Means Test. He referred me to an at...torney who handles harassing phone call cases because I was being harassed to tears. Well, what was the result? I discharged over $200,000 worth of credit card debt and received a settlement of over $5,000 from a harassing creditor who wouldn't stop calling me and I kept all the settlement money because Dave was able to exempt it from the creditors. I discharged all my debts and made a ‘profit’. Further, Dave has given me wonderful materials that he has developed to restore my credit score within 12-24 months post-bankruptcy! And his program that is called, ‘The Pennywatchers’ which challenges youto continue to pay on the debt but you pay yourself and to save all the money that you discharged. I was so depressed before going to see Dave (I had heard from everyone in Connecticut that he was good) but I had to drag myself to his office in Groton, Connecticut. Thank God!! How do I rate him? 5 Stars, Plus! I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, ethical and fair in his dealings with me and Dave and his office staff in didn’t make me feel like a loser but as someone who was about to succeed. And, indeed, I have completely turned my life around. I went to see Attorney Dave Falvey and I now I say Hallelujah! I have put my depression behind me and I feel good about myself. “Here Comes the Sun” And I say: HALLELUJAH!!
