Highly Recommend

Dean is phenomenal. I contacted him for assistance with a debt collection issue regarding a gym contract. Thanks to him I was able to come to a much more agreeable conclusion with the opposing party than I would have been able to on my own. I spoke with Dean on the phone about my issue and he explain...ed to me in great detail the legality of the matter, my options, as well as potential ways to proceed. Over the next few weeks I emailed Dean who was very quick to respond and give updates with how the situation was unfolding, his customer services is second to none. Even over email he did an excellent job answering any questions I had and explaining my options. I could not recommend utilizing his services highly enough. If you are in the market for an attorney look no further.

Glad to have found a great lawyer

Kelly gave me such peace of mind once I spoke to him on the phone. I left 5 phones messages to different credit card settlement lawyers, and Kelly was the only one who called me back within 15min!! He explained my case thoroughly and carefully and gave me peace of mind that I found the RIGHT lawyer... to help me settle my case. He is professional, knowledgeable, and makes you feel he is on your side!! I highly recommend Kelly!!

Excellent Advice and Assistance

I have utilized Kelly's services on several matters. He began by listening to the relevant facts on several debt collection matters, and provided several alternatives for each matter. This enabled me to choose the alternative that I believed to be the best for my situation. Once I chose the ...direction that I believed best, he worked to negotiate a resolution that fitted my needs. Some of these negotiations were with very difficult creditors. Based on my personal experience with Kelly, I have found him to be an excellent listener. His advice has been sound, and his negotiations top tier. I would say that my best recommendation is that I would utilize his services, should the need arise, without hesitation.

Great attorney

I would like to thank Attorney Kelly Stairs from Debtorslaw for efficient handling my consumer issue. Mr. Stairs initially listen to my situation, then explain what he was able to do and what I should expect. In a surprisingly short time, Mr. Stairs had process a demand letter and made telephone call...s to the owner in an attempt to quickly settle. With the help of Mr. Stairs, the owner settled with me instead of going to small claims court. In addition, Mr. Stairs was professional and he returned my telephone calls and/or emails within 24-hours. I would easily choose Mr. Stairs in the future for any consumer issues that might. Anyone looking for an attorney for consumer or other issues might what to give him a call.
