Incredible Resource - Wonderful Help

Mr. Triggs was an incredible resource for me to resolve and consolidate my student loans. He was very approachable and responsive - his promptness and simplification of the process made my life easier - and now better! I am very grateful and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking to get in a ...'better place' with their student loans.

Great Attorney

Douglas was great!! He was direct and to the point and very helpful. He even gave me his home phone number so I could contact him at any time needed with questions or concerns. Student loans can be very stressful and scary and he helped put all my worries at ease and help me find a solution that will... work for me in the present and future. Thank you Douglas.

Not worth it

My wife and I made an appointment with them back in January 2016. I gave it quite a bit of time to reflect and these are my thoughts: Upon making the appointment they sent us a Questionnaire for us to complete and send back. The receptionist kept telling us that the questionnaire was not compl...ete. After sending it over several times and hearing from them that it was not all there I decided to call to see what was going on. They had failed to look beyond the first page to see that what we were sending was in fact complete. They just didn't bother to look beyond the first page of the fax to find out that it was all there. Without even looking they kept assuming that it was incomplete every time we sent it as they kept asking us to send it again and again. Not exactly confidence boosting when a legal office that deals with paperwork can't even look at a fax. When we met with Triggs, he callously looked at us and said something to the effect of "Pay it" and then told us his rates for work he could do that you could do for yourself for free. He charged us $100 for this consultation which lasted around 20 minutes. Did not learn anything we didn't already know and provided literally no service or legal counsel whatsoever regarding student debt that would benefit us in any way. Everything he offers to do you can do for yourself and save the cost of paying his attorney fees. He was happy to take our $100 for the 20 minute consultation in which he was of zero help so I am happy to leave an honest review of how he runs his operation. Save your money and time, do your own research. Do not use this office.

Replied last August 24, 2016

I am sorry that you were unhappy with our initial appointment. You are correct: everything that I can do for you, you can also do yourself for free. That's set out in the FAQs on my website, and that's the same for most all legal work. However, with my experience I can often get the work done more easily, more smoothly, and more properly. I note your comment "Did not learn anything we didn't already know". That's one of the problems with initial consultations, which is not knowing ahead of time what the person with whom I am talking already knows. And again, you are correct: if you already know everything from your research, then I am unlikely to add anything to your knowledge base. Much more often than not, however, I am able to point out changes in the law or helpful programs that the person consulting with me was not aware of. And it's often helpful to people when I can describe the administrative processes in detail so that they are more comfortable with the changes they are considering.

I can breathe again!

Doug was so great! From the first meeting with him, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders, and finally had some hope that I wouldn't be drowning in student loan debt for the rest of my life. Would definitely recommend!

Great Experience

Doug was exactly what I needed to understand how to consolidate multiple student loans years after having finished school and starting a business. I worked with Doug remotely (via phone and skype) and he was very responsive and extremely organized. He helped me to be organized by giving me instruct...ions for finding and filling out documents, labeling forms that I needed to complete and sending them to me along with a step by step splan. I appreciate that Doug also had a followup email outlining and emphasizing a plan for the future with instructions to print documents and save copies for my reference. When speaking with Doug he was very matter of fact and did not "sugar coat" results or his services, which helped to make the process very clear. If you want to work with someone who is knowledgeable, organized, responsive and focused, Doug is great. I also thought his fees were fair and affordable for me as the owner of a new small business with lots of student loans.
