Miss Bell was my attorney for 3 cases. I had 1 American express and 2 Discover lawsuits that were filed against me only a few months apart. I was using a debt relief company to get rid of my credit card debt and they had negotiated settlements for a few accounts. One account that I believed was in settlement was not; I thought the debt relief company had set up payments toward a settlement on my Discover card, when in reality, several payments were missed and Discover and their attorneys at Zwicker had a hearing to get a judgment against me. Miss Bell handled the communication with both the debt relief company and Discover. She found out what had happened with the settlement and then she negotiated all three accounts for me and got me a payment plan I could afford. She got me a better payment deal on the Discover than the debt relief company had originally negotiated. I never had to go to court which was a cause of great stress to me. She was honest and straightforward with me when I felt the debt relief company was running me around in circles. Discover had been nasty to deal with and kept telling me that they were going to get a judgment and garnish my bank account, but they didn't get a judgment on any of the cases and I am so thankful to Miss Bell for making that happen.
