About Lynn
Biography
I have been an attorney for 38 years. My practice is limited to representing consumers who have debt issues. 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 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 by appointment only. I do not accept "walk-in's". All initial consultations are done by telephone only.

Received excellent advice for free
I had a threatening email about a cash advance loan I did not request or receive any money. Ms Coleman confirmed that it was a scam. I am 71 years old and in poor health. She really put me at ease.

Amazing Experience for a free consultation
I was connected to Mrs Coleman through the AVVO site from a google search and from there I scrolled down to Mrs Coleman’s profile that seemed to match what I was looking for. Clicked her link and took me to her site. It was during the day and I was busy with work but I decided to call her business ...

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.
Censure issued in NC, 2018
