I endorse this lawyer. I have referred numerous clients to Mr. Abel over the ten years I have known him. Often, these have been my valued clients who need his expertise in matters relating to debt collection. I have referred business creditors as well as persons being sued for collection of debts. Al has a profound understanding of both sides of the collection and bankruptcy laws. The clients I have referred to him have been extremely happy with his handling of their legal matters. He is easily approachable, diligent, and has the ability to explain the complexities of these issues in plain English so the client doesn't feel lost. I will continue to refer clients with these issues to Al Abel in the future and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
