Posted by Michelle | September 05, 2013 | Debt Collection

Quick and Helpful

Mr. Fredrick replied to my web inquiry within the business day. I scheduled a phone conference with him the next day. I presented him with my situation involving a debt collector. Mr. Frederick provided very useful advice, and advised that I would probaly save money by hiring a lawyer closer to wher...e my civil case will be held. Though he knew from the biginning of the conversation that I would not be hiring him, he connected me with useful resources, explained legal jargon, and directed me toward what steps I should follow next, and what I should do if the collector does X Y or Z. He advised me on what a fair price to pay for this kind of legal advice in my area would be, and what to do if I could not find affordable representation. I am very glad that I called Mr. Fredrick.
