Helped me tremendously with a debt
I contacted Mr. Lilly when I got served by one of my creditors for non-payment. He immediately put my mind at ease, pointing out that there was plenty of time to negotiate and to avoid having to appear in court. He ended up getting a very manageable payment plan from the creditor. I was amazed at how much he got done in just a few hours. Overall, a very good experience!
