Great Representation in Consumer Finance Case

I hired Mr. Starkey due to a matter involving possible violations of laws protecting consumer interactions with Collection Agencies. I had recently moved out of an apartment to purchase a home and the apartment complex management stated I violated my lease agreement.I had a clause clearly stated in m...y lease that stated lease could only be broken due to home purchase. I tried unsuccessfully to resolve the matter with the Apartment management. I was wrongfully charged for the remainder of my lease term and when I refused to pay the proposed amount it was sent to collections. In addition to sending account to collections, the outstanding balance was reported on my credit report. when I was contacted by the Collection agency I told them my story and again tried to resolve the matter. The Collection agency stated the Apartment complex had done everything correctly and the debt owed was valid. Over the next 3-6 months the Collection agency aggressively tried to collect on the outstanding debt. I subsequently contacted Mr. Starkey to review the problems with both the Apartment Complex and Collection Agency. Mr. Starkey thoroughly reviewed my case in a professional manner. He set a stretegic plan to get the matter resolved, the debt removed from my credit report and identify all potential violations by Collection agency. Mr. Starkey interviewed all involved parties, completed depositions and submitted violation findings to the Collection Agency. He also submitted to them the terms needed to resolve matter without the need to go to court. The Collection Agency refused to agree to terms to resolve matter. Mr. Starkey prepared a strong case against the Collection Agency and advised me it would be best to proceed to court in this matter. The day prior to my court date, the attorney representing the Collection Agency contacted Mr. Starkey and advised his client would to settle matter and agreed to all terms requested for resolution. Mr. Starkey had debt removed from my credit report, had line item from Collection account removed and had Collection Agency pay the maximum fines for each of the multiple violations he identified within the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. His representation of my case was Professional, Timely, Effective and Efficient. I would recommend Mr. Starkey to anyone who needs a lawyer that will always go the extra mile to protect your interest and get true JUSTICE in your case.
