Premium Specialty Consumer Credit Report Lawyer
Upon learning I had major errors on my credit reports from the big three I had nowhere to turn. I wrote letters, called etc. I searched and called many lawyers that all said the same thing ( no damages, to small of case, busy, etc. I found The Adkins Firm and it was a blessing. Great attorney that listens and actually responds in a very reasonable amount of time. He did a great job and he knows the credit reporting laws. IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE REPAIRING YOUR REPORT NO MATTER HOW SMALL YOU THINK IT IS do yourself a favor and call. It is free and direct he will treat you with respect and get the job done. Thanks Mr. Adkins well done can’t say thank you enough. Call em….

Credit case
Hi, Micah S. Adkins did an excellent job for me with my case from the beginning to the end. He gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend him. He explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. I would have him work on a case for me in the future if need be. I would not hesitate to use him. He repaired my credit totally. He would answer all my questions and emails. I am so happy and lucky to have had him to work on my case. Best regards Anthony

Identity theft
Mr. Adkins Law Firm helped me wipe clean my credit report, someone had stolen my identity and charged on my accounts, I had no luck on my own to get the 3 major credit bureaus to take off the negative reviews or even look into my identity theft complaint, and because of my bad credit scores I could not Lease a car, apply for credit cards, or even get a loan, after talking to Mr. Adkins he assured me we could resolve this issue, all I had to do is be honest with him and be patient, and work with him through this long process, and that's what I did, and after two years everything he told me came true, I could not ask for a better Lawyer to work with, I now have my credit cards back, and a few new ones, and i am now leasing my car, his whole firm were so friendly and helpful to me, I highly recommend Mr. Micah Adkins to anyone who is having trouble with their Identity theft like I was.

Best lawyer in the state in my opinion
First of all he is honest!! He was a man of his word and kept me well informed of everything that was going on and provided me with lots of information dealing with the issue I had. I have recommended him to many people that I encountered dealing with the same or similar situation. One thing's for sure I'm DEFINITELY going to use his services if I ever need them again in the future!!!

FCRA Expert that gets results!
Micah handled a FCRA case for me due to inaccurate information that was on my credit report and he was superb! Micah knows the FCRA inside and out. Micah handled three lawsuits for me and we received settlements on all three.
