I found Joe Mullaney for help with several debt issues. Not only did he help me successfully navigate the process but provided almost unlimited time on the phone with his consultations. He is a rare individual with an outstanding knowledge of the laws and an ability to explain everything in comfortable terms. He is on your side. Cudos to this lawyer for his integrity, expertise and competence.

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!

Very thorough and understanding

Joe Mullaney was the first lawyer I ever used and because my personal experience with him was such a positive one, not only am I using him again but I recommend him to friend and family in the area. He always, always kept me up to date on my case and explained everything in detail to me. 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.

My Mother and I worked with Mr. Mullaney III because she had credit issues. Joseph was so efficient and quick in getting this resolved with as little stress to my Mother as possible. I was worried about the stress that something like this may have caused her because she is up in years. I am so thankful that he was on our side and took care of the situation quickley and efficiently. HE IS AN ANGEL.
