I proudly represent consumers in lawsuits against debt collectors, furnishers of false or obsolete credit information, credit reporting agencies, and  furnishers of credit information concerning accounts which were discharged in bankruptcy.   

I also defend consumers who are being sued by credit card issuers and debt collectors who sued my clients to collect consumer accounts.

If you wish to contact me concerning representation, feel free to contact me by calling or via e-mail.  Please be sure to include telephone numbers where my staff or I can contact you directly if I decide that is more efficient.  Please also include a brief (1 or 2 sentences) description of  your situation. 

Thank you for your interest in my services.

A technical note : I've chosen the Lawyergist categories that I believe best describe my practice to non-lawyers.   Although much of my practice involves "debt collection", I represent only consumers who SUE the debt collectors who violated my clients' rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA").   (I do NOT represent any businesses in lawsuits against consumers or defend debt collectors who are sued.)    A substantial portion of my practice consists of representing consumers in matters arising under or involving the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA") so I chose "credit repair" as the closest applicable category although I do not provide "credit repair" services as lawyers would use this term nor do I recommend that consumers use credit repair organizations.
