Cudos to this lawyer for his integrity, expertise and competence.

I represent consumers who have been sued by debt collection law firms for alleged consumer debts. I charge a flat fee plus costs in a debt defense action.
I also sue debt collectors who violate a consumer's fair debt collection rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Lastly, I represent consumers who want to know if bankruptcy is an appropriate decision to handle their unmanageable debt.
Under the SSA Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income programs, I assist workers and consumers who have sustained disabilities that prevent them from working to obtain benefits
I represent consumers who cannot correct their inaccurate credit reports through their own self-help. I also sue credit repair organizations that ripped off consumers with false promises of credit deletion.

Excellent!
I contacted his office on behalf of my mother who is elderly. His secretary was very professional and nice. He gave my mother a free consultation and told her what she needed to do to rectify her situation. I would not hesitate to call him again if needed.

Thoroughly Impressed
This is the first attorney that I ever dealt with who honestly had my best interest at heart. I was a skeptic when I found their listing on the web. During a free consultation, he thoroughly went over my options and potential costs involved for a levy placed on my bank accounts due to mistaken identity. He gave me the exact steps I should take to handle the matter on my own (at no cost) and even scheduled a follow up call. Everything he advised worked seamlessly. He was honest and told me that I had a legitimate case that I would win if I wanted to go after my bank but advised me that I would not gain anything from it since the levy had been lifted. He could have taken the case as most lawyers would have, and simply collected his fees. Joseph Mullaney III is a great human being and I would recommend him to anyone.

Lawsuit against Collect Corp.
I contacted Joe in 10/10 after experiencing several months of harassment from Collect Corp. which entailed several violations of debt collection practices. Joe took my case and was able to obtain $1,500 from Collect Corp. for their illegal tactics.

better results than one can ever hope for...
Being at the mercy of creditors is a really scary scenario.
I am thrilled to have found this website and better yet; stumbling on Joseph Mullaney. Joe is a miracle worker... He eased my mind immediately upon our first conversation. The time and effort he puts into a case is over and above the call of duty. He actually goes out of his way to advise you with other credit problems that you didn't retain him for...yes,he is that caring. He is responsive and polite and his no nonsense approach nets results, PERIOD. He handled a really tough case for me against AM** and fought for a settlement that was comfortable for me. If you are looking for somebody to be on your side and don't hire Mr. Mullaney...you are a fool. Yes, I am that impressed.... Joseph Mullaney equals positive results!

He would spend hours on the phone with me to make sure all my questions are answered in the easiest terms possible so that there was no confusion. He is very compassionate about what he does and goes out of his way for you. He is very personable too. Thanks Joe for all you have done and May God bestow blessings upon you, your family and your health. Take Care.
