Great Debt Defender


I worked with Attorney Jerome Lee on three credit card debt cases over the last few years, and he did a really good job. In this most recent case, I was being sued for about $17,000. The case had 9 court appearances and even a trial date before the plaintiff would settle. Jerry was able to get t...he settlement down to just $7,000, which is way lower than what they were asking for. Through the whole thing, I never had to go to court. Jerry went to every court date for me and always worked to protect my best interests. He even did something kind of fun. When he had a court date for my case, he would send me a short video from outside the courthouse, texting me, “I’m going in as your attorney to protect your interests.” It was quirky, but it helped me feel like he was on top of everything and keeping me updated. This last case was my third successful case with Jerry, and I couldn’t be more thankful. In every case, he kept me informed and even waived some fees to make things more affordable. If I need legal help again, I’ll definitely go to Jerry Lee. He really cares and is willing to do whatever it takes to help. Sincerely,
 Matt/Westchester, NY

Highly Recommended Attorney

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Jerry Lee on three credit card debt lawsuits over the past five years, and I highly recommend him. Mr. Lee handled each case with professionalism and calm, making a stressful time easier to navigate. He communicated clearly and in a timely manner, outlined ...our options, and secured fair settlements, significantly lower than the creditors' original claims. In our most recent case, Mr. Lee negotiated a settlement thousands of dollars lower than our initial offer and arranged payments over time, which was a huge relief during a tough financial period. Throughout all three cases, Mr. Lee was transparent about his fair fees, with no surprises. Each case was resolved smoothly, without unnecessary drama. I truly appreciate how he managed everything, allowing me to focus on rebuilding financially. If I need legal help again, I would not hesitate to hire Jerry Lee. His expertise and dedication to clients are unmatched. If you're looking for an attorney who defends with integrity and delivers the best outcome, I highly recommend him.

The Greatest

Mr. Lee was very understanting of my situatation & helped me out a great deal by being thorough with my Amex case being able to obtain a reasonable settlement. He is professional & kept me informed at every step of the way. I highly recommend him.

Predatory attorney reminiscent of predatory lenders of the past decades

Jerome takes your money, provides platitudes and then returns for more money and platitudes. When it comes to actually drawing up documentation, he defers to a settlement where he does not have to do work. This attorney deserve a negative 5 rating. Stay far far far away from him with your wa...llet zipped up.

Jerry Lee is the best

Jerry helped guide me through a long difficult process regarding a collections lawsuit.. He was encouraging, helpful and always kept me informed and up to date. We settled my case for 1/3 of the total. His fees are quite reasonable considering the amount of time and work he put in. I am happy to reco...mmend him to anyone. You will be glad you chose him.
