Bankruptcy and Debt 50%

We assist individuals in all types of bankruptcy cases, including Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. We also handle virtually any kind of dispute regarding a consumer debt, including disputes regarding whether the debt is owed, the amount of the debt, unfair collection practices, and other disputes.

50%
Debt Collection 20%

We do not collect debts, but we do help consumers fight debt collectors who are violating federal and state collection laws by such acts as calling friends, family and co-workers about your debt, making illegal threats, and other illegal acts.

20%
Credit Repair 10%

You have the right to an accurate credit report. If a creditor or debt collector is reporting inaccurate information, or you are a victim of identity theft, we can assist you. We do not, however, offer 'credit repair' services that involve removing accurate information from your report. And, we do not recommend that you ever hire such a company.

10%
Debt Settlement 10%

Debt settlement involves negotiating resolution of your debts owed to credit card companies, medical providers, etc. We help you evaluate whether this option is better for you than other options, such as bankruptcy.

10%
Foreclosure 10%

Mortgage loan issues. Stopping foreclosures through litigation and through bankruptcy.

Very Helpful!

I was very impressed when I met with Mr. Armstrong for a consultation about my lawsuit. Because it was a case for a small amount, he gave great advice on my next steps, which helped me get to a point where I was able to settle my case without having to hire an attorney. Mr. Armstrong, thank you so mu...ch for your honesty and integrity, it is very appreciated!

Great legal response

Being without funds to hire a lawyer, I used AVVO to obtain information concerning a credit debt I had accrued. In each instance when I posed a question, Gary Armstrong gave concise and helpful information that I utilized to make the steps necessary for a successful conclusion. I really liked the f...act that Mr. Armstrong answered the question as opposed to those lawyers that never directly addressed the issue.

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.
