You can get out of debt, while maintaining your dignity and respect.

I cannot recommend Mr. Kasalo enough. At the height of the pandemic, I was facing a mountain of debt, numerous lawsuits, and felt like there was no way out. Just as I was considering bankruptcy, I confided in a friend to guide me, who then suggested I contact Kris at Kasalo Law, as he had helped ...him in the past. From our first conversation, to our last; Kris treated me with respect and kindness. He understood my concerns and from the very day I retained him as my attorney, he took all my financial burdens upon himself and significantly eased my stress in doing so. Almost immediately, the creditor calls seized and the letters stopped flooding my mailbox. His knowledge and expertise in consumer law is vast and at times, pretty amazing. To put it quite frankly, Kris is an exceptional attorney and saved me when I was drowning. I am forever grateful for all he has done for me.

Professional and knowledgeable attorney

Mr Kasalo settled two of my cases to my satisfaction efficiently and I would not hesitate to recommend him to any one seeking legal advice about consumer law issues. Highly recommended

A+ Work !!!!

Though I cannot discuss the terms, Mr. Kasalo was able to help me resolve a giant debt already reduced to judgment on terms I can't even believe. I would recommend him to anyone having issues with debts and debt collectors. A+ work!!!!

An Amazing Attorney and Man

Mario Kris Kasalo is a man of integrity; an amazing attorney. Straight forward, knowledgeable, and perceptive, Mr. Kasalo goes above and beyond for his clients. He's represented me in one Federal case, and while he often didn't agree with me, he always compassionately listen...with one eye on the law...s that govern, and the other eye on the facts. Looking through both eyes, Mr. Kasalo provided sound, clear and practical legal advise each step of the way, notwithstanding, provided options and discussed obstacles (the risks). No empty promises, what impresses me most about Mr. Kasalo is his no-nonsense, articulate, confident, kind, and intelligent mannerisms when before a Judge. I guess what I'm saying is if you're looking for an attorney to have your back, provide peace of mind in a stressful but "successful" outcome, it's MarioKris Kasalo.

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.
