Mario is an great lawyer. Mario's communication was very hepful and delivered the best results. He did everything we discussed and promised me. He was very reassuring that we would win, and that's exactly what he did. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. His honesty and character showed how de...voted he is to his clients and his work.

Atty Mario Kasolo brings -- shock & awe to Bill Collector

Atty Mario Kasolo is metaphorically Gulf War General 'Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf. Atty Kasolo is a " litigator " - a lawyer's lawyer. Atty Kasolo jumps into the fight with oral arguments to the court AND ALSO his ' pen ' being mightier than his opponent's ' pen '. He Attorney Kasolo sh...all bring your FDCPA fight to the enemy, rather than you his client hiding scared in the foxhole, with fear of answering your own telephone. In laser like focus he Attorney Kasolo shall like a CIA agent parachuted behind enemy lines, gathers INTEL with parse word-by-word analysis of the Section 1692 statement your Bill Collector US Mail sent yourself, ATTY Kasolo having a tool set of mastery of FDCPA precedent HOLDING decisions of our 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. FYI Atty Kasolo has given oral arguments before said 7th appellate court for benefit of -- you his client. FYI appellate court is a mere one level below Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Your Bill Collector is going to be meet with shock & awe of multi count lawsuit with over 100 factual allegation paragraphs your Bill Collector shall be required to answer (at their own lawyer costs) -- truthfully to the honorable court. Atty Kasolo does motion for sanctions against your Bill Collector, where merited. Atty Kasolo does take his cases to trial IF his negotiated settlement with Bill Collector does not ensue. Atty Kasolo shall try to lawfully gain ' leverage ' of settlement over your Bill Collector with a motion before the court to have YOUR fact pattern certified as " class action " IF your Bill Collector did naughty stuff to you, your Bill Collector most probably did naughty stuff to many other persons. You his client are rewarded with FDCPA statutory $1000 judgment. Your Bill collector in the end is going to be meet with an Order of the Court for Bill Collector to pay Atty Kasolo lawyer fees, in magnitude of $400 per hour PLUS costs of your lawsuit against the Bill Collector. With NO Guarantee, there is good chance your purported debt shall be 100% cancelled with negotiation by Atty Kasolo. Sleep well grasshopper. -:) FDCPA HELP is on the way with Atty Mario Kasolo. PEACE -- OUT End transmission. ========

Made navigating a difficult situation a breeze

I was completely unaware that I had two judgements against me from a very large collection firm in the Chicago area. They came up during an intrusive background search. I was shocked, and needed to resolve this asap. I was referred to Mario after having no luck with another attorney. I contacted ...him, and he immediately responded. I told him the situation, and he clearly explained what he was going to do to rectify things. He was kind, courteous, and went above and beyond. I needed to resolve things in a timely manner, despite my angst he kept me calm and walked me through each stage. He delivered and the results were above my expectations. His communication is excellent and I highly highly recommend his services.
