You'll probably notice that I have answered a lot of debt-related questions. In these trying times, I view these as some of the most timely and pertinent legal questions that are important to the most vulnerable and underserved segment of our population. I view these answers as a public service. If debt collectors are harassing you or otherwise violating the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, please get in touch. In my practice areas, my expertise is available at my hourly rate. I have also written a book "Debt Hope:Down and Dirty Survival Strategies" available at

I had a consultation scheduled today, July 30th at 11am. The attorney did not call and when I spoke to his legal assistant at 11:45am, she claimed he stated he called and left a voicemail, which he did not. We rescheduled for 2pm today and once again, he did not call. I finally emailed the assistant ...
