I can't recommend enough!!

Jim has great knowledge in debt collections and creditor harassment laws. He took on two separate cases for me on the same day, one of which was literally in a time crunch as a court deadline was 2 days away. Jim spent a good amount of time on the phone with me going over options and payment struct...ures and explaining what he expected to come of both cases. He was able to get both cases resolved in the exact way I was hoping for with great outcomes for me. He was very easy to work with and very generous with his time. I especially like that he was able to do 100% of our business through email without a need for me to drive to his office. This was the best experience I have had to date working with an attorney.

Very helpful. Nice gentleman too.

Has been extrememly helpful. He even drove me to the courthouse when I couldn't find any other way to get there! Professional, and highly recommended. :)

Posted by anonymous | November 21, 2013 | Debt Settlement

He is the one

I talked to numerous attorneys in order to settle my debt case but I was told they won't be able to help me or negotiate my case, from every single attorney I spoke to. Some of them didn't even call me back when I left them a message with a brief summary of my situation to their secretary. Mr. Fea...gle answers the phone, responds my emails in a timely manner. My case was settled in a few days in my desired direction. He saved my life. I highly recommend Mr. Feagle!

Treated like family

I've had experience with many different law firms as a business owner and in my personal life. Mr. Feagle and the entire firm has become like family and they express true concern for me as not only a client but as a friend. They actually care about you and go above the normal level of care to handl...e their clients. I highly recommend Mr. Feagle for your law needs

Posted by Gerard | November 14, 2013

Great Job

From day one, Attorney Feagle demonstrated tremendous knowledge and expertise in the law pertaining to my daughter issue. He was patient and responsive. He did the research necessary in helping her....Attorney Feagle priority was to help my daughter first and getting pay took a back seat. I must also... mention that his pay structure was reasonable and workable.
