Are you being sued by a credit card company or debt collector?

Credit card companies may sue a delinquent consumer if a payment has not been made within 180 days or the credit card company believes they have no other option. Sometimes a debt may be sold to a collection agency, which are often more persistent and less forgiving.

Credit Card Debt Litigation Defense

Knowing how to respond to lawsuits brought by credit card companies can mean the difference between saving or paying quite a lot of money. In most cases, we can save our clients thousands of dollars by expertly defending against credit card company lawsuits, or when warranted, negotiating a settlement.

Estate Planning

Despite the unsettling nature of contemplating death, it is crucial to proceed with drafting your Estate Planning documents, as this is the sole opportunity for you to personally make these significant decisions. When it’s too late…it’s too late.

Guardianships

When a loved one becomes unable to handle their own affairs, either because of an injury, illness, or aging, the Courts can appoint a Guardian to act on their behalf. However, becoming a Guardian is an endeavor that necessitates the Courts’ approval. Our office can assist you in navigating this complex process, and position you for success.

However, our office is here to provide comprehensive support throughout the entire Estate Administration process, providing comfort during this difficult time.
