Excellent Consumer Protection Attorney

Mr. O'Grady provided excellent legal counsel and results for a family friend stuck in an unwanted timeshare. He was highly knowledgeable of the law and procedure, and resolved the matter efficiently.

When all else failed, O'Grady Law Group made it happen!

While on a trip to Las Vegas, I ended up using one of my friend's timeshares. Lo and behold, I somehow walked out of there with my very own timeshare. That was over 4 years ago and I haven't used nor had any desire to use it since the initial purchase. After several unsuccessful attempts to sell o...r cancel my contract, I turned to O'Grady Law Group for help. I sent them a copy of my contract to review at no cost and we scheduled a consultation to discuss my options. During the the initial consultation, they took the time to explain exactly how they were going to handle my particular case and what I could expect during the process. By the time I walked out of the meeting, I was very excited to have them working for me. They took complete control of the situation, including all communications with the timeshare company, and had my timeshare contract cancelled within 6 months. Knowing that they have the experience, credentials, and knowledge to handle my timeshare contract cancellation gave me such peace of mind and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for assistance with timeshare contract cancellation.

Gratitude

A friend was given a Christmas gift of 2 nights at a Timeshare Resort. The next morning she was woken up and told she needed to attend a meeting, which she did. At this meeting she identified herself as a woman religious, a Catholic Nun, and informed them she received a small stipend for her Church M...inistry. She was pressured to sign up for a Timeshare. She was told it was for a small monthly fee. Again she stated she received a small monthly stipend for her Church Ministry. Finally, after much pressure she signed a contract. In the summer of the following year she went on a mission trip to another state at was treated to 5 days at this same Timeshare Resort to minister in a soup kitchen to feed the hungry. Again she was woken up early for a mandatory meeting. Again she was pressured to upgrade her Timeshare and purchase a more ownership. Again she identified herself as a woman religious, a Catholic Nun ministering in the Catholic Church receiving a small monthly stipend. Again she signed this second contract. This time they opened a Timeshare Credit Card where payments would be deducted monthly at a very high interest rate. English is not her first language and therefore she did not understand the ramifications. She shared all this with me and we called the Timeshare Resort to attempt to cancel the contract, which was not possible. We called 2 Real Estate Brokers who sell Timeshares and received information as to possibly selling it. I then called a Real Estate Broker friend who researched both agencies and said the BBB showed they were not reliable. My nephew, a lawyer, visited me and I shared with him all the information and gave him copies of the paper work concerning this Timeshare. My nephew recommended the O’Grady Law Firm. I contacted them and shared Sister’ situation and they were most helpful. She was released from the Timeshare Contract and received a check for payments to this Timeshare Resort. Truly this was the grace and guidance of God leading us to the O’Grady Law Firm. Both Sister and I were praying to God that this law firm would produce a miracle and through God’s graces it happened; she was released from the contract and received a check for all her payments. Needless to say we are both most grateful to God and for the O’Grady Law Firm. I highly recommend the O’Grady Law Firm, they are very professional and reliable. May God’s Blessing be with them as they assist their clients.

O'Grady

O'Grady is one in a million. Although, I was refered to this group of wonderful layers, I was never in doubt after reading their profile online of what the result would be. Guess what, my assumptions were 100% correct. They did an exceptional job handling my case in just a few months for a case that... should have lasted years. Thanks to O'Grady lawyers I can now smile again after going through some miserable years of being stuck in a horrible situation. Thanks to O'Grady for how you handled my case.

Answer to our prayers

We are a retired couple. We were a little skeptical about "A Lawyer" when other companies could not help us. William and Len took on our case with a guarantee that they would get us what we wanted. I am so thankful they came our way because I can sleep better and not be under so much stress. I e...ncourage anyone that has a legal problem to contact these great friends for help. It won't take long until they become your friends as well.
