Open communication at it's finest.

I found Attorney Fitzgerald of Fitzgerald Campbell, APLC after a simple web search and decided to give his office a call for their free consultation. I had lost my father the year prior and was working my way through severe depression so all my bills had suffered during that time and I was truly ove...rwhelmed by trying to figure things out. The reception was courteous and patient during my initial phone call and all subsequent calls for that matter. I quickly received a return call from Attorney Fitzgerald and we began my initial free consultation. Between the fear, anxiety and stress of my situation, Attorney Fitzgerald was great at keeping me calm and truly hearing me out. Even with my financial situation being shaky, he was reassuring that he would do all he could to help me through it and "we" would work it out. He was very clear on what I needed to do from my side so that he could help me in the best way possible. He answered any and all questions without hesitation and even offered answers to questions I didn't realize I had! The communication with the case managers was and remains clear, concise and quick. Any time I needed some information, they were there. Adam Jauregui and Fabiola Parkerson were great about working within my budget to get started on my cases. Even when I fell behind in my retainer fees due to hard times and moving, they worked with me to get everything on track again. Never once did I feel judged, rushed or pushed into any decision regarding my cases. April Inlow and Sam Foster have been great with keeping me informed about the status of my cases and the honest opinions they had regarding what my options were for my next move in any given situation. I have recently settled the first case and April was great in making sure I was able to get the most realistic payment option within my limits. She communicated with me every step of the way. This is simply an excellent office to work with. I would recommend them to anyone.

Greg and his team did excellent work

Greg and his team did and excellent job on a matter that they resolved in a very short time frame to my satisfaction. He gave me expert counsel and his follow up was outstanding. When his staff got involved, they were professional and knowledgeable.

Big Savings (60%+) on Debt Collection Lawsuit Worst Case Scenario

Greg's approach to helping debtors who have the misfortune of being sued by debt collectors and bottom-feeding debt buyers is excellent and helpful. Instead of asking for his entire fee upfront for defending you against debt collection suits, he asks for a $500 down payment and $50 per month fee unti...l a case is settled or dismissed. His contingency is 30% of the amount saved by his work, less whatever you have paid up to that point. This saved me almost $20,000 from what could have been a $27,000+ burden, plus annual interest of 10%, with a net savings of nearly 60% when both the settlement to make the debt buyer go away and his firm's fees are included. During the entire process, Greg and his staff kept me completely informed when things were filed in court, responses were received from the other side, and solid advice on strategy and negotiating the settlement with the debt buyer. I am grateful for his and his staff's help in my sticky matter.

Grey Area -Solutions !

I had a unique situation wherein I am being sued by a major bank on credit card debt, and later the bank sold off the debt and the assigned creditor had subsequently filed suit against me. After the suit had been filed the original creditor/bank had submitted to me a 1099-C "Forgiveness of Debt...". I reached out to Greg after reviewing one of his on line commentaries on this kind of baffling subject matter. -Having a pending law suit and potential judgement against me while also being liable for the tax consequence of forgiven debt. Essentially the creditor seeks to have their "cake and eat it too!." Greg was kind enough to arrange a telephonic consultation with me without any obligation and was able to quickly interpret my situation. He gave me some sound advice on the "grey area" of the law. Given Greg's expertise in this area he succinctly and most graciously provided me in layman terms with some legitimate defenses to hopefully give me a fighting chance in court. Should I choose to defend the case myself, I feel much more confident as a defendant armed with Greg's legal insight once I get before the judge to plead my case.

Awesome Greg

Gregory Ftizgerald is a wonderful debt attorney. He took on my case and within 2 months my creditor who was sueing me dismissed my case and had to pay me for violations. Mr. Fitzgerald kept me informed on what was going on with my case and when I had questions he was always there to answer. Every...one in his office was helpful and pleasant to work with. Mr. Fitgerald is knowledgable and affordable which is a great plus when you are in debt. I will and would reccomend the Law Offices of Gregory Fitzgerald to anyone who needs an attorney to fight back against these abusive creditors.
