PRACTICE AREAS

Debt Defense

Being in debt can be scary, but you're not alone. One in three Americans is in collections. We represent clients in debt collection lawsuits and help them fight back against unlawful debt collection practices, including medical debt / charity care cases, landlord / tenant debt, and debt collector harassment.

Foreclosure Prevention

You have rights when facing foreclosure. We help homeowners find solutions to avoid foreclosure and protect their homes from deceptive mortgage servicing by identifying mortgage servicing / foreclosure defects, representing clients in foreclosure mediation, and assisting with surplus funds post-foreclosure.

Automobile Fraud

Millions of car buyers are estimated to be defrauded each year. We help people fight back against dealerships who break the law by engaging in bushing / yo-yo sales, selling unsafe vehicles, and deceptive advertising / financing practices.

Consumer Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is an opportunity for a financial fresh start. We help individuals and families start anew by filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy on their behalf.
