About Lynn

I have been an attorney for more than 32 years. My practice is limited to representing consumers who have debt issues and consumer complaints. I am a federally designated Debt Relief Agency under the United States Bankruptcy Laws. I assist people with finding solutions to their debt problems, including, where appropriate, assisting them with the filing of petitions for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code. I also help people resolve their disputes as a mediator. I am admitted to practice at all levels of the North Carolina court system and all of the United States District Courts and Bankruptcy Courts in North Carolina.

I began the practice of law in the State of Texas in 1986. I relocated to North Carolina with my family in 1999, and became licensed to practice law in North Carolina in 2000.

My hours are flexible nd are by appointment only. I offer early morning and early evening consultations when necessary.

Review Lynn Coleman

Look no further!

Posted by AmberMon Jul 16 2018

I had the pleasure of working with Lynn Coleman on my bankruptcy. She's awesome. She knows her stuff. She's very detail oriented; nothing will get past her, and she's not afraid to fight for you! She definitely had my back; it was impressive. Lynn is very sweet too. There's no judgement; she wants to help you get a fresh start. I couldn't have asked for anything more!

Posted by Debbie MillerMon Dec 11 2017

Ms Coleman was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was beside me all the way. She made a terrifying and humiliating experience not so terrifying and humiliating. Though I am now debt free, I will forever be indebted to her. She shows heart along side her intelligence. That was impressive to someone like myself who suffers from anxiety issues. I believe she actually cares for her clients and sees them for more than a salary. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of debt relief.

Brandon Robinson, Corporate and incorporation Attorney on Apr 15, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

With much pleasure, I endorse Attorney Lynn Coleman. She has both a deep and broad knowledge of NC substantive law--torts, property, contracts, business law, etc.--as well as civil procedure. She knows a tenable case when she sees one, and her legal analyses are among the best available on Avvo (read them for confirmation). She is a highly-skilled problem solver, and a seminal resource to North Carolinians with legal issues to resolve. I highly recommend her.

Robert Lefkowitz, Chapter 13 bankruptcy Attorney on Apr 10, 2015
Relationship: Other

I endorse this lawyer. I have read many of Ms. Coleman's answers on the AVVO site. Her answers are very analytical and well reasoned. She looks at all issues of a problem. I would hire her if I needed an attorney. I would give her the highest endorsement available.
