Dismissal Pro!

This is actually the 2nd time that I had to use Mr. Weston's services, hopefully the last. Just like most folks needing his services, I hit a period in my life that I was unable to pay for certain things. In specific Credit Cards and Student loans. I hired Mr. Weston about 3 years ago to handle a C...reditor that filed a lawsuit against me. The whole time Mr. Weston and his staff remained in contact with me in updating and making me feel completely comfortable about the situation. My Court hearing takes place one day and then the following day I receive an email from his staff saying the lawsuit has been Dismissed! I was thrilled to hear this as I was starting my family and beginning to recover from my hardship. My second time using the Weston services was in regards to a defaulted Student Loan. Again due to my financial distress in the past, I was unable to make my Student Loan payments. I had no idea how this would turn out, as I've heard of stories where individuals were having their wages garnished due to nonpayment of a student loan. I tried contacting the Loan company, however was told that it's too late and that a lawsuit will be placed against me. After receiving my notice for suit, I contacted Weston Legal, to see what all they can do for me. They advised that Student Loans are almost impossible to get rid of and that in most cases it's to re-negotiate and settle. In settling they told me they probably could get it lowered. The amount at this point that I owed was $10K. The process drug out for over 1 1/2 years, until my court date of 4/24. Mr. Weston attended my court date (without me being there) and was able convince opposing counsel to non suit, thus dismissing my case. To be honest I was worried for the whole length of this lawsuit, as I didn't know how I was going to repay this loan. When I heard the news I was thrilled and felt that a huge burden had been lifted. I understand that this is a student loan and that I will probably encounter this later, however for now I do have a piece of mind. Plus I know that the right thing is to pay this off, so I'm starting a small fund to potentially pay this off in whole at a later time. Ultimately I can vouch for a job well done 2x, for the WestonLegal organization. I have already referred a friend to them and if anyone else I know ever has Debt issues, I will definitely refer. His staff is top notch and they more than live up to expectations.

Positive Experience!

We approached Atty. Weston's office for advice on a lawsuit filed against us by a debt collection agency. After presenting all the documentation we had, we were given informative and accurate advice. The case was handled quickly and efficiently (exactly as advertised) without any disruption or "dra...ma" we encountered with other legal affairs. We are very appreciative of the way our case was handled - with a minimum of involvement on our side. Atty. Weston and his team brought us great relief with their professionalism.

Review For Michael Weston

Michael is an excellent attorney. I was sued by discover cards. I thought my whole world was tumbling down. Michael represented me and gave me an excellent defense. The case was thrown away and I am as free as a bird. I appreciate you Mike.

Always willing to help and are the best at what they do....bottom line!

I was being sued by a debt collector and called Attorney Michael Weston for help. This was my first time being sued and I knew I couldn’t handle it on my own. I really wasn’t sure what to expect when I called but am truly glad that I did. Mr. Weston and his team of professionals immediately began wor...k on my case and within two weeks it was settled out-of-court for far less then I could have ever imagined, giving me hope of regaining some control over my financial future. My initial conversation was with Jessie C. from Mr. Weston’s office and I am grateful for her genuine concern and professionalism. She is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain my options and answered all of my questions until I had a good understanding of the process. I voiced some concern about being served and she told me she would contact the opposing counsel to try and have the papers redirected to their office instead of my home. I received an e-mail from her later that evening, not less than an hour after our initial phone call, telling me that she had already contacted the other attorney. A true testament as to how quickly and efficiently Mr. Weston and his team work on behalf of their clients. Any concern I had was quickly addressed and I felt privileged to know that Mr. Weston and his team would be representing me. Throughout the entire process I never had to make a trip to Mr. Weston’s office as everything was done over the phone or by e-mail including the signing of any documents which was handled via (DocuSign). They also sent me an article titled a “Road Map of the Lawsuit” that helped explain the various steps that a typical lawsuit of this type would follow. It was very informative and helped me realize the amount of work and planning involved to successfully defend a debt collection case. In addition , they were able to offer me an affordable payment plan for their flat-rate fee service. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this law group is and can only wish them the very best. Thank you again Mr. Weston, Jessie C., Kate W., Karen L., and everyone else at the firm for your hard work and for giving people hope that things can get better. If anyone is ever in this type of situation, please understand that you don’t have to go through this type of lawsuit alone or worry about being served or going to court. Trust in Attorney Michael Weston and his team to handle your case. They will do everything necessary to insure a favorable outcome and will keep you informed every step of way. They are always there to help and are the best at what they do.…bottom line.

Prompt Response to Questions and Excellent Advice

I was referred to Michael by a colleague of his in my local town. Questions that I had were answered within minutes of my submitting them by email. Unquestionably the best service I've ever had from a professional. Michael even called me to answer in person some follow up questions that I had from hi...s email response. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Michael and his firm for your legal situations for which you need his expertise.
