Choose him! Stop searching!

I usually don't write reviews unless they are restaurants, but Bryan deserves to be known out there! I got notified I was being sued by a debt collector and had never gone through something like this. I started receiving attorney information automatically in the mail that wanted to take the case. ...Mr. Hamlin's letter was not only short and to the point of things that were offered, but ALL the things I wanted to get this case off my back! Contacted them, spoke with a representative at his office that was able to pull up my information quickly and assure me it would be taken care of if not, money back. They gave me every way possible to keep in touch with them along the way with up to date emails and within a few weeks, my case was dismissed, they can never come after me again of that debt and it will not go on my credit report! I did not have to show up for my court date, he took care of everything! I'm so glad that I chose him out of all the lawyer options I had. Just stop searching! Call Bryan Hamlin, he will take care of it! I would do it again if God forbid I get into that situation. He's the one for the job!

Awesome! Hire him for pushing back against debt collectors. You will not regret it!

Super Attorney. Used for debt collection and he had the counter claim filed within 24 hours of speaking with him and the case closed within 10 days! The debt collectors received $0! Impressed. He delivers on his promises and I could not have hired a better attorney to handle this. I'd give him 1...0 stars if I could!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
