Debt Defense Law has helped clean up my credit

This firm has handled all of my debt problems that were headed to court or in collection. The settlements and fees were reasonable and the results have given me much peace of mind now that I have retired. Thank you

Debt settlement lawyer | Feb 25

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Over the past 10 years I have litigated dozens of cases against Erik. He is without a doubt one of the most capable attorneys in the areas of consumer debt settlement and consumer protection law in Florida. Erik knows his stuff and has proven himself to be a formidable adversary both in and out of the courtroom."

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.
