I agree with the previous attorney. If you are facing debt collection by a firm or debt collection agency, my Firm can help you settle your debt and all obligations for a fraction of what you owe. The earlier you confront the debt collector, the more leverage you have during the process. If you would like some assistance, please contact my office.
