Very professional and helpful

Mr. Ewetuga is very good at what he does. I went to him in a panic because a past creditor had my wages garnished for an account that they thought was still outstanding. I knew I had paid off this account and fortunately, I kept all of my paperwork from three years ago. During our consultation, he re...commended that I take action and contact the creditor first to let them know I paid the debt. Then I should fax over the documents showing them proof it was paid since the first collection agency failed to follow up with the original creditor. If that didn't work, then we would proceed to plan B. After gathering my thoughts, I went home and did what he instructed. I contacted the creditor, explained the situation, and faxed over the documents. A little bit later, I called back to make sure they received everything. They then explained to me that they faxed this information over to my employer to withdraw the garnishment, and they would stop collection efforts. That really made my day! I have never experienced wage garnishment before, and I was upset and full of anxiety that collections came after me again after I paid off this debt, but Mr. Ewetuga knew exactly what to do! I know some attorneys would have figured out a way to just drag this out and charge me a huge bill, but his payment was definitely reasonable as well as his services. Thank you Mr. Ewetuga!

had ewetuga represent me

micheal ewetuga and his firm are a bunch of money hungry people with no moral ethics other than getting paid.he almost got me deported because of his lack of knowledge in immigration law(i was told to plead to a charge and that there would be no immigration issues,but soon as i get to jail a immigra...tion hold was put on me),i had to hire some real immigration attorneys in sea who only do 100% immigration law to get me out.overall these guys just scammed me out of my money.IT WAS THE SCARIEST MOST SERIOUS SITUATION OF MY LIFE AND EWETUGA AND HIS FIRMED LED ME THERE AND ABANDONED ME DURING THE TIME I HAD THE IMMIGRATION HOLD ON ME.
