So, I was in the process of rebuilding my credit. I was in the upper 500’s and after a lot of research I decided to go ahead and take a chance at contacting [email protected] even though many people didn’t believe in credit repair companies. I am a living witness that contacting PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST will raise your credit score. I am now at 802, 7 collections have been deleted. Good luck to anyone going down the same road I am.

First case DUI

An ad sponsored money filled law firm. I had paid for an attorney in Sand law and have received the bare minimum for attention on the case. Takes at least 2-4 days to even get a call in with my attorney on an update on the case. Was never notified about my case tickets to be paid, which extended my way to receive a temporary restricted license, in result, loss of a job. It seems sand law has won numerous cases, but in retrospect seems way to busy to be able to check up on/inform clients about the case. filled with words, not actions.
