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

You won’t be disappointed

Best consumer debt attorney. You won't be disappointed! I had a $40k judgment hanging over my head. It was on my credit reports and the collection lawyers were HOUNDING me. Things were tight and it was impossible to build credit because of the judgement. It affected me getting a job and even mov...ing. I told Jerry my situation. He said he could help and even gave me a discount. Who does that these days? Fast forward 6 months - judgement VACATED. He knows his case law. He will fight for you. Most importantly, he knows what he is doing. I have no problem recommending Credit Card Defense Center to anyone that needs help with chargeoffs, collections, judgements, pesky lawyers and agencies, etc. Trust me, you'll be recommending him to all your friends too. PS. I won't talk specific prices, but I can tell you I paid less than 10%. Amazing!

Smart, honest, and sensible.

I was being sued for a defaulted student loan taken out in 2007 and got served a summons. I spoke with Jerry about how much I owed and who was suing me. He told me that he would handle everything and to just save my money for a couple months, 7 for me, in hopes of a settlement. I paid him a very ...modest fee and he did exactly what he told me. Eventually he told me the plaintiff was ready to settle and how much could I afford to pay. He got them to knock $26,000 off; I ended up paying back a little more than half what I originally borrowed, which is a pretty amazing deal. Jerry was very honest and easy to deal with. If you do what he says and save enough money to make an legitimate settlement, he will take care of you.

Great help for someone like me

Having no experience in how to handle a debt collector on an old paid debt, I contacted Mr Lee. He was clear and fair and honest and helped me get the piranhas off my back. Recommended.

Unbelievable

I just used these guys to vacate an old default judgment of mine that I left in New York City when I live there about five years ago…I had my bank account restrained and this firm got my money back and got the judgment lifted …my credit score went up and the whole case was dismissed…the judgment was ...about $10,000 and they found out that the process server lied and never served me with the papers to begin with…based on that the judge threw the case out and I escaped a $10,000 judgment…the fee was about $600 in total and I consider myself having saved about $9400 as a result..highly recommended ..ask for jeff beck or jerry…took about thirty days
