Practice Areas

Consumer Protection 50%

I litigate disputes exclusively on behalf of consumers whose rights have been violated. So if you've been harassed by a debt collector, turned away by a credit bureau after informing them there's an error on your report, sold a defective product and refused a refund, or sued for some old credit card debt, I may be able to help you. Call today to find out how.

50%
Debt Collection 25%

Sued for old credit card or student loan debt by a company you've never heard of? If so, your original creditor is out of the picture and you're dealing with a debt buyer. In such situations, state and federal law gives you a number of rights. Depending on the situation, you might never have to pay the old debt! Call my office today to learn more.

25%
Foreclosure 15%

Have you fallen behind on your mortgage payments? Has your lender sued to take your house? Contact my office today to learn your options. In Pennsylvania, homeowners have a number of rights that most people are unaware of, and most mortgage companies overlook. Depending on what your lender has sued for, you might actually be able to sue your lender.

15%
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 5%

Looking for a fresh start? Chapter 7 takes your debts and wipes them out, with the entire process taking about 3 months. Call our office today to see if it's a step that makes sense for you.

Years of representation

Recommended to anyone in debt over their head!! Emily is the best for many reasons. 1. She charges a flat rate. Many attorneys charge for a percent of the debt. In my case this would have costed me thousands more than what I paid Emily. 2 She is the most knowledgeable person I know and I've spoken to... other attorneys who understand the rules but not as good as Emily. 3 she's gotten me much more than I can ever imagine on cases where I owed debt. Because of her knowledge of the law and rules against the way certain letters are worded, she has gotten me money on these cases. I would recommend Emily to anyone dealing with debt or financial hardship. She's amazing

Debt collection case

Emily represented me in a debt collection case. She charged a flat rate. Others wanted to charge based on the amount of debt I was being sued for. She steered me away from filing for bankruptcy. Others were trying to sell me on bankruptcy. So glad that I hired Emily! Easy to talk to, very straight fo...rward and honest. She took the time to explain all options to me, along with all the possibilities. I would definitely hire Emily again. ( hopefully I won't have to)
