To dispute inaccurate information, you must contact the credit reporting company and tell them what is incorrect and provide copies of documents that will support your claim. The credit reporting company will investigate the matter and should rectify the problem. However, if the problem is not corrected, you may receive pressure from debt collection companies to pay the debt.

Very Knowledgeable

Mr. Silver represented me over the course of six months in a consumer fraud case. For the duration of that time, he was knowledgeable and up front about the lawsuit and what was required. He was trustworthy and always did what he said he would do. I would highly recommend Mr. Silver to others in s...imilar situations.

Bad Car

I was at my witts end with a huge problem I was having with a car, the dealerships and the corporate office did not want to do anything. They just blew me off and I wasn't paying almost $700.00 a month for a car that had a bad problem. I was told about Mr. Silver and after talking to him I felt like ...a weight had been lifted. His help was very professional and greatly apprieciated. And he got the job done. (Name removed) bought my car back and paid me a good amount for the payments that I had made to that point. There was no way I could have done this on my own and Mr. Silver's charges were very affordable. I highly recommend him.

Perfect Lawyer

I had bad luck with 3 cars but was very fortunate with my attorney (Howard Silver). I interviewed other attorneys for my first case and was told that, I do not have a chance returning the car, Mr. Silver’s experience and vision won all three cases. He handled my cases with the utmost professionalism,... I recommend him with 100% confidence.

Motorhome

I purchased a new motorhome and experienced problems with the leveling jacks from day one. After 13 different attempts to repair the leveling jacks over a 3 year period, the problems still existed. On the last repair attempt I was told the warranty had expired and I had to pay for the repairs mysel...f. At that point I used Google to find a lemon law attorney and came across Howard’s website. I was apprehensive at first but after talking to Howard, listening to his experience and hearing his evaluation of my case, including the potential outcome, I signed up with him. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and when the settlement was reached it was consistent with the initial evaluation of my case. Howard was responsive, diligent, kept me informed and at no time over promised what he could accomplish. Should I need an attorney in the future to represent me, I would use Howard again.
