Kathi Rawls is a debt expert!

A company that buys unpaid debts and sues debtors for them served me with a notice of a lawsuit. I had already been told (and had seen proof on my credit report) that the debt had been written off. I didn't understand how they could sue me for a debt that, technically, didn't exist anymore. Ms. Ra...wls was very quick to respond to my inquiry. She was obviously very knowledgeable about debt law and informed me that she would do her best to help me. I saw online where she had gotten several favorable settlements against this same company. Ms. Rawls once again came through! She was able to get a settlement that took care of the debt completely! Thank you so much, Ms. Rawls! I would trust her to help me with anything I needed!

Debt Collection Client

Kathi is a terrific lawyer and she has such a great personality. She is very down to earth and does not look down on you about your problems, she is there to help you. Kathi set us at ease the first time we talked, she explained to us what the process would be like and what we could expect from her ...and what she expected from us. She agreed to take our case and fight for us when other lawyers we spoke with would not, or could not as they did not have the expertise in debt collection matters that Kathi has. We highly recommend Kathi Rawls to anyone facing a bullying debt collector. I can tell you that she is not afraid to go toe to toe with them and will go the distance to win your case. Such a great person, can't say enough about her.

Tinker Federal Credit Union

In 2009 I hired Ms. Rawls concerning 2 repossessions financed through TFCU. After the repossessions I was served with a lawsuit. I felt this was wrong and searched the internet for a lawyer and Ms. Rawls was at the top of the page on a google hit. After looking through her website, I finally called a...nd made an appointment. The day of the meeting I presented Ms. Rawls with all my documentation concerning TFCU and then she agreed to take my case. It is now 2012 and I can now say I will soon have 2 repo's off my credit report. We have worked together to get this case won and I appreciate her guiding me through the laws and helping me understand the paperwork and proceedings. I never once felt abandoned or left in the dark and I never thought for one second I needed someone else. She is very kind and responsive to your needs and will always be my lawyer. Thank you Ms. Kathi Rawls.

Wonderful Experience

I never thought that being involved in a lawsuit would be so painless! Kathi Rawls really took care of my needs in a bad situation. She went the extra mile to accommodate me, was very professional, helpful and informative. I would recommend Rawls Law Office to anyone dealing with a collections sit...uation.

dealing with a repossion

Mrs. Rawl handled my case in a quick manner. The car company filed a lawsuit to garnish my wages for a car that i had sent back. Mrs Rawls stopped the garnishment before they started and had the repossion removed from my Credit Report and had the trade line removed. I would recommend her for any Cred...it issue any one has.
