Knows his stuff
This guy knows his stuff and is very knowledgeable in the areas of consumer debt. I spoke with a few lawyers in this area and none of them was of any help only pretending to know. Then i found Mr Klass and he got the job done in 48hrs.

Steadfast and reliable legal resource.
I've known Richard Klass for about 10 years. Over that time he's been a steadfast and reliable legal resource. He's handled a real estate closing for me and also a handful of matters for my business including collections cases. He also mediated my divorce, making the best of an otherwise unpleasant event -- and that's not easy.
Richard has become more than just a lawyer to me, he is one of my business advisers and an extension of my circle of friends. He's even referred customers to me. I can't think of anything more I could possibly expect from an attorney.
As an aside, even if you don't hire Richard, sign up for his newsletter. It's the best lawyer newsletter I've ever read -- interesting, informative, and even downright hilarious sometimes.
