She made the collection agency pay me!!!

I had an a very old consumer debt that was snowballing. The company had gotten a judgement behind my back without even subpoenaing me to court. I felt powerless to fight back since they had obtained a judgment and a lien on my house already. When they levied my bank account I began searching for leg...al help by getting the free initial consultations . Laila Thompson was the only attorney who asked me which state I resided in when I originally opened my credit card. She said that the collection company had sued me in the wrong state and that was a violation of federal consumer protection laws. They would actually have to pay me a settlement fee and waive the judgment! It sounds to good to be true but that's the difference between having an attorney actually fight for you and having one who only wants to profit. Laila's fees were also less than a third of what the other attorney had quoted me. The other attorney I met befor I decided to hire Laila, had been more interested in padding his pockets and also had some shiesty additional reoccuring monthly fees which made me worry he would never settle my case in order to keep my money rolling in every month! I was so discouraged after speaking with him but then I found Laila Thompson. She kept me informed during the process and was extremely accessible. She called me once to tell me the collection agency had agreed to waive the judgement and walk away, but she felt she could fight a little more and make the collection agency pay me the settlement due to me under federal law in order to help cover my legal fees. She informed me that the option was mine, but she would keep fighting with my permission. It was truly an amazing experience. I would absolutely recommend her 100%.
