Heather Weis Benveniste

After being served by a huge bank and subsequent collection agency for a large debt (+20K) that I owed for over 7 years, I researched Heather after reading positive reviews here. I immediately went to her website and found more positive reviews and did some more additional research on her and her t...eam. Not wanting to deal with this on my own, I felt comfortable reaching out to Heather. I was very impressed with the level of communication from her and her team. The responses were quick and never pushy however I could tell she understood the sense of urgency to secure information and resolve this prior to the upcoming court date. What was most assuring is that during our experience was that I was never intimidated talking to a "legal professional", she made me feel comfortable and I truly felt she was on my side and working (and fighting) for me. Being a busy professional, I appreciated that we communicated mostly through brief emails but there was one time we needed to talk in person. She reached out and we were immediately aligned on her next move in the process on my behalf. Not knowing what to expect, the results blew me away. She was able to settle my case for around 12% of the original balance. Wither her fee, I walked away paying roughly 25% of what I owed. These results may not be typical of course but I would place my bets on that her experience and knowledge of this industry and the credit process will yield you satisfactory result. Best of all this was a turn-key process. I contacted Heather, filled out a form, and in 2 weeks I was leaving this credit mess and collectors behind me. If you are contemplating legal advice on how to deal with this type of situation I would definitely reach out to Heather for a brief review. The rate is reasonable, the service is excellent and you can rest assured she knows what she's doing. DISCLAIMER - People tend to be skeptical of online testimonials but I am a real person and these are real results. Believe me, I know lawsuits and collections suck and you wish it would all go away but level with yourself and at least face these issues with someone like Heather! I urge you to take the time to find out for yourself. Good luck to all!

I have hired Heather three times over the last few years to help with my credit card debt. She handles all contact with the collection agencies and I never had to go to court. Each time she was able to work out a reduced repayment amount with an affordable payment plan. I was very pleased that on ...the most recent occasion, even after her fees, I saved over $9,000. I would definitely hire Heather again.

I had a pending debt lawsuit filed against me. Being a full time stay at home mother, taking care of 4 children, one being a newborn, I did not know what to do or how I would be able to fight this case. I received many letters from different offices saying they wanted to help me with my case, but... they were mostly about filing for bankruptcy, something that I did not want or need to do. When a letter came from the Benveniste office, I did a little research and felt like this is the one. I couldn't be anymore happy with this choice because Heather was prompt and was able to settle with the debt collector within a day. She is kind and explained the whole process to me. I would hire her again and will recommend my family and friends to her in the future. If you need someone to work on your case fast, give Heather a call!

I had an unexpected wage garnishment against me from a rental I had years ago. Although the rental company kept my deposit they still took action against me for leaving a month early on my lease. Heather contacted the law firm and got them to settle my case for a fraction of the cost and release the ...garnishment. She was very patient with me during the process and alway made me feel like had options. I appreciate her so much. Thanks Heather.

I hired Heather to represent me as my credit card provider submitted court filings to freeze my back account after I failed to submit payment in agreement with my original payment terms. Heather was very quick to respond and negotiate with my credit card provider to not only withdraw the court fili...ngs but also reduce my disputed debt by several thousand (i.e., removal of late fees and interest) and stopped interest from accruing on my outstanding balance. Heather was very effective at communicating the status of my case as well as obtaining the necessary paperwork once I paid my settlement in full. I have been extremely satisfied with the services provided by Heather and would not hesitate to hire her should I need her services in the future. Thanks Heather
