Get Bill On Your Side!

Very Pleased! Couldn't be happier with Bill for handling a persistent debt issue. I found it difficult finding an attorney who still practices consumer law. Not only does the firm he's with practice in this area but Mr. Michelson has genuine concern and will help you. He's very affordable and had imm...ediate suggestions - even before I met him. His caring nature and expertise is a valuable combination and asset for anyone needing advice. I was fortunate to find him. Give him a call - you won't be sorry... he's certainly got my business.

Best credit attorney in Minnesota

I looked Bill up on the internet because we needed a good credit attorney. I had no idea where to go and hesitated calling anyone for fear we would get charged for every word we said and would end up owing anyway. You see, we got hit with a judgment on an old credit card debt and monies were taken ou...t of our savings account without our knowledge. We met with Bill and told him our story. He felt the debt collection attorney gave bad service and demanded the judgments be vacated (there were 2). We put our trust in Bill and he came through with flying colors. He got our money back and gave us the necessary letter to have our credit report cleared. I hope we never have to use him again but would without hesitation.

More than just a lawyer

I was in the midst of 3 year battle with a credit card company over an account of my ex-wife's from more than 15 years ago. Every lawyer I talked to told me there was nothing to do but settle with them. Bill not only took my case, he took the battle to the credit card company. He stood by me even ...though I was unable to continue paying him and fought to the end and won an incredibly difficult case. He believed in me and my case and I can't find the words that do justice to his effort. Without him I would have filed bankruptcy and my finances would have been completely destroyed over something I had no part of. He's an incredible individual and highly knowledgeable lawyer who refused to allow the credit card company to beat me just by outspending me. Bill's my hero. He saved my life. I kid you not.

Any consumer dealing with a debt collector needs to know this attorney

I stumbled across Mr. Michelson's website during a panic after being served by a debt collection company regarding a past credit card issue. Bill was professional, understanding, non-judgemental yet upfront and direct. After reviewing my situation and finding details that suggested fair debt collec...tion practices issues, he worked with legal representation of the colelction agency and resolved the situation in a way that saved me money and addressed my credit reporting bureau concerns. The investment in expert legal help was the best decision I made during this siutation and paid off in less stess, peace of mind and a better outcome than I could've hoped for. So thankful that I didn't have to go it alone. Calling a qualified attorney like Bill Michelson is the best first step to take if you find yourself dealing with debt and collection problems.

Bill Michelson is the best at what he does

When I went to Bill in the beginning of 08 I had over 500,000 of unsecured debt for my two business and personal accounts with interest rates of way over 20%. I had tried one of those agencies that you see on tv and mail you offers to reduce your debt. The one I used charge a ton up front and is ...now out of business. I was getting nasty calls from creditors and didn't know where to go. I found bill on the internet and made an appointment. Two years later my debt is about 100,000 grand and I would say my average for the settlements is about 25%. All I can say is I am glad Bill is on my side. He is tough with creditors and know the law and won't let the debt collectors bully his clients. In the end he is way cheaper than the debt relief agencies, because you pay him by the hour and only pay for what he does. Anybody who needs representation should look no further than Bill Michelson.

"I met Bill Michelson as an adversary and now I work for him on some cases. When he was representing individuals I was trying to collect debts from I found him to be that rare combination of tough and collegial. Bill's conduct in litigation was never anything short of professional. Now that I work for him I see the high standards he maintains for his practice. If you are facing a tough collection lawsuit in Minnesota there is no better attorney to have on your side."
