Great experience

My husband and I have used Robert W Mitchell twice now in the past couple of years and I will say the experience, the communication and the outcome has been nothing but great. The work/help Robert has done for us each time was nothing less then amazing, both times the outcome was rewarding and we ha...ve been very pleased and grateful. If you are looking for some Credit repair, Consumer protection, Debt collection assistance this is were you need to start. Thank you Robert and the staff for all you have done for us!

Outstanding!

Robert is amazing and has the knowledge and expertise necessary to help you. He is fantastic at stopping debt collectors that are conducting intimidating and abusive tactics and performing illegal practices to collect consumer debt. I was injured in 2014, as a result I suffered a financial har...dship and couldn't pay my creditors, I had lost everything by 2017, surrendering the last item I couldn't pay and was basically homeless staying with freinds. When I returned to work, working for financial recovery and to gain the basic necessities to survive I was defeated by an attorney of law representing a debt collector because I chose to go it alone without representation, that was in 2020. In 2021, a year later I was served again by the exact same attorney representing another debt collector. I could hardly believe what was going on and felt that the attorney was actively searching my name for debt and wouldn't stop until every penny I had would be theirs and i would be homeless. I had had enough, my only hope this time around would be representation. I called Robert Mitchell's office for help, Robert called me back immediately as he knew that there was no time to waste. He obtained information from me (plaintiff attorney, my credit report and state that debt originated) and a brief history of the debt, he then put my mind at ease and assured me he will be doing all he can to help me. Within a few days Robert found many problems  with the collection lawsuit against me and immediately launched an aggressive countersuit against the plaintiff which not only resulted in a dismissal of the case but a deletion of an erroneous account on my credit report with a substantial monetary settlement in my favor. I was amazed at what Robert accomplished in a short amount of time, as I had only expected a reduction, a wash or dismissal of the case.  In conclusion, i would like to say that if you are finding yourself in a similar situation or something in regards, please don't ignore or hide from it, don't get the feeling you have no where to turn to, I would recommend you call and consult with Robert immediately, he can be your only hope, the winning edge against the illegal practices debt collectors are resorting to.

Best Outcome

We were referred to Robert Mitchell to look over a bad medical collection account. Originally we just wanted to negotiate and get the bill paid off and removed from our credit report. Robert Mitchell explained that rewarding the collection agency with payment just encourages what they did to continue.... So we listened to his advice and were able to take back control. Not only was Robert and his Paralegal Kerry honest, attentive, fair and prompt with every step in the process but he was able to get us a settlement of $7000 and was able to get these bad debts off our credit report and got the collection agency taking ownership of their negligent collection tactics. Bonus, was because of the removal of these 3 accounts off our credit report our credit scores jumped 80 points! This was huge for us because we were in the process of purchasing our first home and we were able to which from FHA to conventional loan saving us thousands. We couldn't be happier and more grateful to have an attorney really there in your corner to fight for us.

Robert is brilliant

Robert is a brilliant attorney. The collection agency filed a lawsuit against me. I didn’t know what I was going to do. It was my first time dealing with a situation. I was stressed out with no idea about what to do. I was truly blessed to have Robert as a lawyer. He took care of everything for me an...d alleviated my stress and worries. He achieved an outcome that was favorable and great for me. I would definitely recommend Robert to all My friends and family that are dealing with these types of situations. Thanks Robert

Great Experience, Quick Resolution

I had an issue with my credit report where I had an unpaid debt, but never received any bills or notices, driving my credit score down. Regardless of who I called, everyone agreed I was not at fault, but that sadly they could not help me out. I was finally referred to Robert after a chain of lawyers ...who were unsure how to best help me. Robert and Kerri provided thoughtful and detailed responses to all my questions and instilled confidence I could trust them before signing on. The issue was resolved within a month - it's no longer on my credit report - and I'm very satisfied with this outcome! Thank you for your help!
