Posted by anonymous | February 18, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

Mr. Kaplan was excellent

A debt collector tried to sue me for a very old debt that they couldn’t legally collect. David contacted me and offered to represent me for free. Not only did the debtor drop the lawsuit, they actually were ordered to pay for illegal collection activities! I’d definitely recommend Mr. Kaplan to my fa...mily and friends!

Great help!

Dave contacted me after hearing I had a judgment against me, and he did a wonderful; job. My anxiety greatly diminished and he assured me he would do whatever he could. I could not have asked for a better experience!

Excellent at what he does

I was contacted by Mr. Kaplan when he became aware of a judgement that had been filed against me. He not only had the judgement dropped, he eliminated several other items that an agency was illegally attempting to collect upon. I highly recommend him to anyone who is experiencing issues with unscrupu...lous debt collectors.

Amazing

David was great, i was getting pounded by phone calls and letters from collection companies. All i did was give him approval to help me out with them, he eliminated all of my collection accounts and i couldn't be happier. The best part is the collection companies covered his fees and he eliminated ...over $10,000 in debt and my credit report is finally clear. i never imagined that an attorney could help or that this was an option and he exceeded my expectations by far. I'll be recommending him forever to everyone.

Debt is gone and no more calls

I didn't realize that the debt collector that was calling me could not legally even collect. Dave Kaplan explained to me how I was being illegally harrassed and he took the case with no money upfront and got the debt dismissed. It took about 2 months and he handled all the paperwork and details for... me.
