About James
Practice areas
- Credit repair: 35%
We are NOT a Credit Repair Organization. We represent consumers with legitimate claims of credit report inaccuracy. We litigate against credit reporting agencies and creditors and other furnishers of information under the Fair Credit Reporting Act in claims of inaccuracy and failure to resolve legitimate disputes."
26 years
- Debt collection: 30%
We routinely defend people who have been sued individually in State, Superior and Magistrate courts in Georgia for consumer related debt. Often times consumers have affirmative claims for patent abuse (such as calling neighbors, cursing at debtors, falsly threatening arrest, etc.) that can be pursued against some of these collectors by bringing either counterclaims or by initiating claims against the collectors in Federal Court.

- Identity theft: 10%
I represent clients that are the victims of identity theft. I routinely file actions in federal court for violations of the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and supplemental state law claims against both credit reporting agencies and furnishers of fraudulent information that fail to remove it when given notice that the account is the product of fraud. The consumer protection laws provide that attorney fees can be recovered from the companies that violate the law.
