Excellent experience

I recently worked with Mr. Eblen, and I was very impressed with the level of professionalism and attention to detail throughout the entire process. He explained each step clearly, provided timely updates, and made sure I understood my options before moving forward. I felt supported and well represent...ed. I would not hesitate to work with Mr.Eblen again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable legal guidance.

Mr.

I would highly recommend Mr. Eblen for any legal help with credit matters. He was instrumental in helping me resolve an erroneous credit situation that was very serious and headed towards a negative conclusion. He is very nice, professional, and easy to work with.

Thank you Tim

I had a horrible situation where I was the victim of identity fraud. Even as a prior finance manager, there were three huge credit card companies that refused to cooperate. It took the time of the court system, but Tim Eblen and his staff went after the three companies and credit reporting agencies, ...and not only got my credit back to perfect, but got good compensation settlements for me. Truly professional, kind, and SO well versed at financial law... hire him today!

A+ Lawyer

As a retired attorney from a large firm with a practice that included litigation cases, I worked with many attorneys. I also supervised associates and wrote annual reviews. I recently had my own personal case that required consumer expertise. I had tried to handle it myself, but with no success. T...he other side just ignored me. When I took it to Tim Eblen, he noted the theories for my case, a right to recover fees and the statute of limitations, then immediately went to work. And he was successful. In less than a month without litigation, he obtained an excellent settlement for me with a refund. Tim is successful because he is smart, he really knows the law and how to get results, and he listens. And unlike many lawyers, he is well organized, careful, extremely efficient, prompt and responsive. Tim gets an A+ rating from this old lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
