Posted by Susan | February 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Delivered what she promised.

I first met Irene, when I filed bankruptcy. My bankruptcy did not fall into the federal guidelines, and it was dismissed. It left me pretty unsure of what would happen if my creditors continued to pursue me for payment. Irene assured me, that she would be a phone call away if my creditors pursued me.... About a year later I received notice that a case was filed against me by one of my creditors. I searched for Irene online and found her on LinkedIn. I thought I would give it a shot and contact her. As she stated, she answered and was there for me. She helped me with my case for a minimal fee. She was my liaison between the Credit Companies lawyer and the Credit company. I am now on a payment plan for less than the original debt. The monthly payment is less than the original credit card monthly payment. Irene is passionate about her work and her clients. I would recommend her to all of my friends and family.
