Efficient and Trustworthy

Excellent job working my case. He is a highly skilled attorney that produced the results I needed.

Posted by Steven | July 21, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Credit Repair

Absolute Incompetence

Jim was aligned with a credit repair company run by Steven Palmieri and I worked with them to repair items on my credit report. Their model was to sue the debt collectos and force settlement. I had a small (about $200) item on my report and they convinced me to use their "model" to sue them, even t...hough the amount was small. But that collector counter-sued claiming frivolous lawsuit. Fair Debt Collection Practices law protects such lawsuits from being considered frivolous, but somehow Walker lost a summary judgment argument, and the court awarded the other party $59,000! At the very least a competent attorney should have been able to use valid debt collection law to show the judge why the suit was NOT frivolous, but Walker was not able to do this. So now I'm left living with a $59,000 judgment against me, and Walker and Palmieri washed their hands of it entirely. All from an ill-advised suit on a small amount of money, which was then bungled by Walker.

Replied last July 21, 2019

I advised Steven Tortolani to accept a settlement to pay the $200 debt and walk away since we had an unpredictable first-year judge assigned to the case, but he insisted on going to trial. Then, when I strongly advised him to appeal and offered to appeal the matter for him at cost he didn't want to bother with the appeal. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it.
