Wage Garnishment Issue

I had a surprise wage garnishment happen and Frank helped me navigate the waters in verifying it was legit and facilitating a settlement. Frank is very knowledgeable with debt collection matters. His expertise was extremely valuable and very much appreciated. He went above and beyond with his service..., and I was very happy with the results. I would definitely hire Frank again.

He got my '50k promise to pay back loan' money back

I should have placed a lien on the property I lent money on. A service that Frank was going to do for me but I dropped the ball and didn't follow through. After the property sold and my friend decided not to pay me for the loan from the sale profits, I got Mr Huguenin to go get it back for me. Luc...kily I had texts of the conversation and he presented it to the judge and clerk and awarded me the entire amount of the loan plus interest. He was professional, he got close to the billing amount he thought it would be for his fees. Good communication and transparency. He was committed to helping me because he knew I was in the right. I am across the nation from him and trusted his firm and I am very glad I did. Absolutely 0 complaints on how he does business and gets the job done. If there was 6 stars, I give it.

A true Rock Star in a world of wanta be's

We are a collection agency specializing in enforcing judgments and we've used Frank for several different cases. He's performed a wide variety of tasks including wage, bank and rent garnishments, judgment revivals, etc. In our most recent case he skillfully obtained a new judgment against a very ...large unresponsive garnishee, which then led to a FULL settlement/collection. This was a big deal for us as we were expected a few hundred dollars from his actions but instead walked away with tens of thousands from that one case. And that's how it usually goes with Frank on the case. We deal with A LOT of lawyers, and most talk a good talk but when the rubber meets the road- very few show up as the kind of powerhouse that Frank has for us. Can't recommend this attorney enough- he's hard working, he's creative and thinks outside the box, is happy to collaborate with his clients (surprised by how many attorneys don't do this) and overall, he's an asset we cherish on a weekly basis. You can't go wrong with this rock star attorney!

Excellent Attorney - Proven Results

My client, who is a subcontractor, was not paid for work they completed for a large residential contractor. My firm owned the receivables for the projects. Frank represented my firm for collecting on the debt. Frank was extremely knowledgeable and helped us navigate the laws in Washington. His an...alysis and game plan was well thought out and in the end we collected from the the general contractor and brought our exposure down to almost nothing. Great working with you.

Review of Frank Huguenin

I am the president and owner of a successful collection agency in Washington State. I have worked with Frank for a few years now. He has successfully handled a number of disputed collection cases and has obtained excellent results (for example, in one case he got the debtor to double their offer a... very challenging property management case that involved a personal guaranty that was disputed). Frank has excellent communication skills, is easy to understand, has excellent critical thinking and reasoning skills, and has good legal analysis and judgment.
