Great firm

I had Sheri Braun she was wonderful. I was hesitant on hiring a lawyer it was for an old judgment that I had no idea was out there and after trying to figure it out on my own I decided to call a lawyer the best discission I ever made not only did they negotiate for me they also got it settled for ...thousands of dollars less. Don't try and do their job hire a lawyer they are worth every penny they will save you thousands in the end.

Not good

I got a letter from this lawyer to help me with me credit card det and a girl Jennifer answered the phone. She was very nice but told me they could help bring down the bill if I hired them. I wanted to talk to the lawyer and when he got on the phone he sounded drunk or he just woke up I don't know. W...hat he told me was very different then what the girl said they would do. I did not hire them I used another lawyer who mailed me too.

Integrity At Its Highest

This advocate helped me tremendously. He went above and beyond his interests to assist me. I am truly thankful I spoke with him. If I have a debt related problem in the future, I will retain him. I highly recommend him.
