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

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.

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!

A master of consumer debt defense strategies.

Without a doubt, Jerry is a consummate master of consumer debt defense. So easy to work with, and so experienced, he put my mind to ease knowing that my case is in good hands I highly recommend him to anyone struggling under a mountain of debt and fielding lawsuits from their creditors.

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.
