I was fortunate to retain Brian to represent me in my divorce case. He was aggressive in court and fought hard for me to protect my relationship with my daughters. This was a bitter and nasty fight but he was more than up to the task. In the end I felt like I won the war.

Collection Matters — Creditor Rights

Collection Matters — Debtor Rights
Have you been served with legal papers regarding a debt collection matter? Calls from bill collectors and creditor harassment can be very disturbing. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, debtors are protected from certain harassing conduct by collection agencies.
Past Cases
In the past, we have handled cases involving the following scenarios:
- Identity theft
- Defense for people who have unknowingly been sued
- Financial matters — Defense for co-signers of a loan in which one signer refused to pay, and now the other is getting sued for the remainder.
- Settlement negotiations — For example, we once handled a case in which a car was repossessed, and we negotiated the amount the individual had to pay.
We work hard to negotiate a settlement that works toward the benefit of our client. When someone else’s financial negligence is costing you time or money, it is critical to take care of the matter legally.

It gives you the right to a free credit report from each of the three major bureaus annually and the right to dispute any inaccurate information on your report. A lawyer can help you file a dispute and sue credit bureaus for violations.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Do I need a lawyer for my debt collection case in Jersey City?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “When facing aggressive debt collectors or a lawsuit, hiring a lawyer is the best way to protect your rights.
