BEST CREDIT SPECIALIST

Big gratitude to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for helping me out on my credit report. Earlier this year I had evictions, foreclosure and bankruptcy on my credit report which deprived me access to so many things. I decided to go online and search for good hacker for help and that was how I came across P...INNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who helped me removed the eviction, foreclosure and bankruptcy from my credit report. I can guarantee you they are the best credit specialist in the universe. They further increased my credit score from 553 to 802 TransUnion, 807 Equifax, 812 Experian. One thing I love so much about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST is that they keep to time frame, they told me in less than 6 days they’ll get job done. In the 5th day job has been fixed already and uploaded to my credit profile. They’re the best among all. I sincerely recommend them to the universe.

Bankruptcy attorney

I had Michael Sheridan as my lawyer and his was amazing. He was fast and reliable at responding and discussing everything in a manner that I could understand. Everything got settled in a fair amount of time and his was super cooperative. I would definitely recommend Mr. Sheridan to anyone.

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.
