Robert Lennes2024-11-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter was very helpful with solving a problem. I was playing whack-a-mole prior to contacting him. I’d already tried a credit repair service (don’t waste your money). They got the negative stuff removed, but only briefly. I then took it on myself, periodically requesting these recurring collections be removed. They’d go away, but always came back. Sometimes under a different business name and often with varying, but increasing amounts. It was clear they would never stop, so that’s when I contacted Peter and he took it from there. My main objective was simply to get the harassment to stop and he took care of that. I believe it’s been several years now and I have NOT been harassed since!

Pete was phenomenal to work with, and I would highly recommend him. Prior to reaching out to Pete, I reached out to a few other attorneys; the ones who were gracious enough to get back to me, were not able to take my case, and the others never bothered getting back to me. With that being said, I felt hopeless in my situation. I reached out to Pete on a Saturday, not expecting much based on my previous experiences, and I kid you not, he got back to me within a couple of hours, on a Saturday! To say I was impressed is an understatement. In talking with Pete, I came to find out that not only does he have decades of experience, but he also trains other attorneys in Consumer Law; needless to say, he knows his stuff. Aside from his expertise, the thing that really left a lasting impression on me was Pete's humanity. When I consulted with him, he gave me the impression that he genuinely cared about my issue. He was so easy to talk to, you almost feel like you are talking to a friend. He was great at putting things in layman's terms, he didn't ever speak in a way that went above my head. He was great at communicating, not once did I have to chase him down to see how my case was going, he provided timely updates, and was transparent from start to finish. With Pete's diligent effort, my case was open and shut within a couple of months. Not only is Pete a phenomenal attorney, he is an even more phenomenal person. If you are ever in the unfortunate situation of needing a Consumer Rights attorney, Pete is someone you want in your corner. pradip gupta2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the collection companies used to harries me for payments which I did not owed since I had not recognized any purchase. Mr. Barry helped me and there was no calls again. A second time CVS pharmacy was charging me 1000 dollars which was not required for my payment and medicine was given to me at no cost. Insurance company may have paid. He helped me and there were no charges again by CVS. Without his help I would have unfairly paid. The unfair treatment remains in the mind and affects health badly. He is a great help to the society and individuals who can not afford costly legal assistance. Tanya Karon2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On behalf of Calvin Littlejohn Peter truly stood out! He was personable, witty, a true authority in his industry, and possessed extensive knowledge of debt collection laws while guiding me on my rights. I was genuinely impressed by his dedication to achieving a swift resolution. Tunyia Hinds2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our Common Values
We live here. We work here. We care passionately about our clients. We strive mightily to do well by always doing good. Our pro bono and community volunteer work changes lives because that’s the only way to make meaningful change. If it’s all about money, what’s it all about?

We strive to always put our client’s interests first and, by doing so, serve the cause of justice. Since 1996, we’ve passionately pursued cases that made a difference for the consumers for whom we work. That means always answering the phone even when it’s hard. Always returning calls, even when the news isn’t great. Never sugarcoating the reality of a consumer’s situation but always reminding ourselves of the humilty of our postion. Never forgetting that being a lawyer is a privilege and not a right. Always trying to be of help to those whose cases we cannot take by sending them to the right lawyer whenever possible.
And, always putting our clients first because without them there is no success.
