Best Attorney I've worked with

Let me start by saying I've had a few issues here in my life. First, I had a dispute with TCF bank over my 2nd Mortgage & Line of Credit in which Paul got me a great deal and I settled for less than $.10 on the dollar. He basically kept me in my house. Paul is also helping me with the local debt... collector and continues to go above and beyond for me. I can't say enough good things about him. Honest, Intelligent, Integrity are what he's about in my opinion. The fact that I feel he's really working for me is what will bring me back to him in the future if and when anything comes up. I HIGHLY recommend Paul.

Credit Card Debt/soaring interest rate/Judgement halted/payment plan-no interest

This took some time to get to where I wanted to be because of the court process-but I owed it, I would pay~ I refused to pay the enormous interest rate. Tried everything -credit card company would not listen and either would the dogs they sent to retrieve. Calls and letters came in, stress level wen...t up. Contacted Mr. Weig, his approach was very different and unique....and it worked. I have an agreement to pay the original amount I owed without interest on a monthly basis until paid in full. No judgement on my record that would hurt my job seeking efforts. Clearly a Win-Win situation. Call him if you want someone you can trust who is honest, hard working and most important-human. Once he gets on board all the calls and letters stop coming in. Debt Collection, Debt Settlement, Bankruptcy. Just call-he will lead you in the right direction if he cannot help you himself.

Garnishment

I went to Paul with questions about a credit card garnishment from Discover Card. He was very helpful in sorting through all the paperwork I had received, and explained my situation and options to resolve it. I was impressed by his knowledge of the garnishment laws and made me very comfortable to e...xplain my personal situation with him. We were able to resolve my situaton in a timely and fair manner.
