With household debt in the U.S. rising by 11% over the last decade and credit card and auto loan debt surpassing the $1 trillion mark, debt collection agencies have become increasingly aggressive.

CAN A CONSUMER RIGHTS LAWYER HELP MY COURT CASE?
Our Consumer Rights Lawyers are invaluable if your situation leads to court. Collectors can take consumers to court to recover owed money, often winning cases because consumers do not appear in court.
Consumers who appear in court without legal representation are at a disadvantage. They often lack knowledge about their rights and cannot represent themselves effectively.
With a Consumer Rights Lawyer, a consumer involved in a court case with a collector is more likely to be treated with respect and have an expert by their side. In many instances, a Consumer Rights Lawyer can present compelling arguments to the judge in the client’s favor.
Additionally, our Lawyers can quickly assess whether illegal methods have been used by collectors to recover funds. This is particularly useful for those who have experienced harassment or threats. In severe cases, a Consumer Rights Lawyer can prepare and file a lawsuit against a collector seeking financial damages.
