Atty. Hamlin is a rising star!

I recieved a letter from Atty. Hamlin offering to support me in a legal case with a creditor. His expertise in the area is amazing. He kept working for me and I had to do mostly nothing but wait to hear from him. He took my stress and worry away completely. He is a personal, and caring man and I a...m pleased by his diligence with my case. I would highly recommend his services.

review for Bryan J.Hamlin

i received an advertisement letter from several law firms after being served for consumer debt. Bryan Hamlin's letter was the only one to state i would not have to pay him any fees at all. After talking with the Hamlin law firm I hired Bryan to handle my case. Bryan went to the court hearing on my b...ehalf. My case was dropped. and my credit report was ordered cleared.. All done at NO cost to me. I have recommended Bryan to other friends and know a friend who has used Bryan with the same great result.

Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC was trying to sue me

Bryan J Hamlin is a excellent lawyer. When I was served papers from this Portfolio Recovery company that they were suing me I did not know who they were until I read the papers. Even then all I knew is they were involved with JC Penney/ G.E. but I did not understand why. When I hired Bryan he persona...lly spoke to me and was very positive of the case that we had a very good chance to win. What happened was this company was a bill collector trying to collect money they said I owed them because they bought my account from JC Penney. Well Bryan got to work and proved them wrong. We won! He is very professional and knows what to do to come out on top.

Attorney Bryan Hamlin, loyal, trustworthy and committed

Upon noticing a potential judgement being tried against me, Attorney Bryan Hamlin actually reached out to me. I read his letter, which stated that he would work to my full advantage at no cost to me. Much to my dismay, as soon as I left our first meeting many months ago, Mr Hamlin was hard at work an...d hasn't stopped yet. He has attended both hearings on my behalf so as that I have not missed any quality being with my children and not missing any time with my own legal studies, as I've been focused on taking classes to become a Paralegal. Mr Hamlin is young, ambitios and full of legal knowledge in his field! I only wish he practiced family law! I would "highly recommend" Attorney Bryan Hamlin to fight for your rights as a consumer if your being sued by a debt collector that has no bearing or contract personally with you! He will fight for your rights to the best if his ability while fighting for justice to those that are left feeling helpless and alone. I only wish I'd met him sooner! You'll never be alone if you contract with Mr Hamlin! He is a true champion in the legal field and a real go-getter!

  • 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.
