Highly Recommended
Ian & team were great to work with. They were very thorough & professional with my case & ensured justice was served in the end. They gave me top notch guidance when it came to gathering evidence. Walked me through the deposition process & provided excellent representation throughout my case. In general, I felt very comfortable & secure in their hands. I would recommend Lyngklip & Associates to anyone facing a consumer rights case.

Confused Grandma
I am the co-signer for an automobile that my granddaughter purchased. I could not understand why we were approved even though my credit score was high, our income was not. Attorney Lyngklip brought it to my attention that the only consideration between the dealership and the finance company was that my credit score was high. He also brought it to my attention that I am in fact the owner of the automobile not the co-signer. Like many other grandmas I have gotten myself caught in "quicksand". When the time comes I will be contacting Attorney Lyngklip to bale me out.

Outstanding Experience!
Ian and his team explained exactly what they were going to do to help me with my claim against Asset Acceptance. As David versus Goliath, I thought this might be a waste of time, but Ian is dogged in his pursuit of justice for the little guy. He will fight for your rights as a consumer if you have been exploited and wronged. I highly recommend Ian and his team of professionals. They are legal experts who truly have your back.

Very Happy Customer
Some time ago Ian helped me to recover, my vehicle, my tax, return and a lein on my house....for months I was harassed at home, work and through the mail. I tried to just hide and stopped answering the phone and then the collection agency took it a step farther and filed doctored documents in court. That was when I contacted Ian and with one phone call he was able to get me everything back. Don't let this be you make the call the minute you feel you are being treated unfairly because you probably are.

Recommendation
Ian and his staff were extremely helpful, courteous and professional. Something that is very rare these days. We were being billed for a service that was never rendered. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is having a problem with a creditor.

Innovative, Excellent, and Still Getting Better
Ian and his staff are true innovators, and true advocates for the consumer. As great as they are, they are constantly getting better. I've worked with Ian as co-counsel and would work with him (or send clients to him) without hesitation.
