Excellent Attorney!

Great lawyers that really work with you! I contacted Light & Gonzalez, PLLC because I was getting debt collection letters and harassed on the telephone by debt collectors seeking to collect on past due credit card and medical bills. Both Anthony Gonzalez and Gregory Light walked me through what my ...legal options were and informed me of my consumer rights so that I could fight back against these abusive debt collection tactics! Ultimately, I decided that filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy was my best option. Working with Anthony throughout the bankruptcy process was comforting and he was professional throughout the entire process. I have received my “fresh start” as I have now received a discharge of all of my unsecured debts! I highly recommend Anthony Gonzalez and Gregory Light and the entire team at Light & Gonzalez, PLLC for their thoroughness and professionalism! They are fantastic! I would highly recommend them! A+

Absolutely amazing attorney!!

Greg is the best attorney you could ever work with and I feel very lucky that I found him. He is very knowledgable, professional and at the same time empathic and honest. In contrast with most other attorneys, Greg takes your case personally and makes you feel like he is on your side. After many m...onths of struggling with a foreclosure on my property in FL, I decided to look for a new attorney as I was fed up with large hourly bills and no results. I came across Greg and his outstanding team with great ratings and decided to give him a call. After the initial consultation, I was sure I wanted to hire him. I immediately felt like I could trust him and found a big relief from my long term stress over this case. And he surely did not disappoint. After carefully gathering all information and diligent research, Greg filed a fair depth collection counter claim against the bank. Given his resilience and skills, Greg managed to reach a settlement that I was happy with. I consider this a great victory! I absolutely recommend Greg and his team to anyone. Especially if you feel stuck or things seem so unfair, Greg will make sure justice is served. Thank you Greg again and again. You are the best!

Consulta de embargos bancarios

Vine a la oficina de abogados de Light & Gonzalez, PLLC en Plantation, Florida porque el demandante en mi caso civil de una deuda de una tarjeta de credito congelo mis cuentas bancarias. Estaba extremadamente estresada porque los fondos congelados de el Demandante eran los fondos que tenía que pagar... mi renta. Gregory Light me explicaro todas mis opciones legales y mis derechos para luchar contra el embargo. Siento que realmente se preocuparon por mi situación y recomendaría sus servicios a cualquier persona que esté teniendo problemas para pagar a sus tarjetas de credito o que hayan dejado de pagar sus tarjetas de crédito o que hayan sido víctimas de una reposición ilegal. Mientras visitaba con ellos, también discutí algunos otros problemas de unas deudas médicas que tenía y me explicaron todos mis derechos contra las prácticas ilegales de estos cobradores de deudas que buscaban a cobrar mis antiguas deudas que tenían más de 5 años sin pagar. Me explicaron mis derechos por la Ley Federal de Prácticas de Cobro de Deudas (FDCPA), Ley de Prácticas de Cobro para Consumidores de Florida (FCCPA) y la Ley de Prácticas de Colección de Consumidores Telefónicos (TCPA). En su consulta, aprendí por primera vez que podía recuperar monetariamente de estas violaciones ilegales y que la ley permite la recuperación de los honorarios de los abogados de la parte perdedora si yo podía prevalecer en una demanda en su contra. Mientras los visitaba también me di cuenta de que podía sacar mi propio informe de crédito de forma gratuita anualmente. Me decepcionó que no supe esta información antes porque había llamado a una agencia de reparación de crédito y esa compañía me cobro $ 95.00 para retirar mis informes de crédito. Desearía haberlos llamado ANTES de haber llamado a cualquier compañía de reparación de crédito porque ahora me he dado cuenta de que es mejor consultar a un abogado de protección al consumidor para averiguar mis derechos con respecto a lo que aparece en mi informe de crédito que pagarle a una empresa de reparación de crédito que no son abogados. La mejor parte de todo esto es el hecho de que ofrecen consultas iniciales gratuitas. ¡Recomendaría sus servicios A+++!

Excellent Consumer Financial Protection Attorney - Highly Recommended

I contacted Light & Gonzalez, PLLC's office in Plantation, Florida as a result of my wages being garnished because of an extremely old credit card debt. I think that it is notable to mention that I had contacted a minimum of four or more attorneys prior to calling their office and each one of them h...ad told me that I would be better off paying what was being alleged that I owed then fighting against what I believed that I did not owe against this debt collector. I then called and spoke to Gregory Light and Anthony Gonzalez, they reassured me that my case was important and it was indeed worth fighting. They met with me on multiple occasions and were prompt in responding to telephone calls and emails if I had any questions. They agreed to go to court and represent me on extremely short notice and at a price in which I could afford. Although, they never guaranteed me a result, it was their relentless pursuit of justice coupled with their diligent efforts in zealously advocating for me that I respect. Ultimately, the result was the garnishment against me was stopped and a refund of my needed monies which were being withheld by my employer were returned. If there is any individual who has debt collectors: send them letters, harassing them, calling them, suing them, threatening them or garnishing their wages, then I would recommend their services without reservation.
