Negotiating Skills
Many people think that their creditors have made up their mind to pursue legal action when their account goes into collections. What they don’t often realize is that the collection process is expensive, and most companies would rather not waste the time and effort trying to pursue collection when they may not even get their money back. Instead, you’ll find that sometimes, they’re highly-willing to negotiate. Our debt settlement lawyers in NJ are also skilled negotiators, and do so from a position that understands the restrictions that your creditors are under which can only help you get a better outcome.
Negotiations may result in you paying less then what you owe over a longer period of time with the rest of the debt being discharged. And the best part: this may be able to help you avoid declaring bankruptcy, which minimizes the damage to your credit report and lets you recover faster!
Defending NJ Lawsuits

A good attorney is going to be particularly skilled at looking at the debt your creditors claim you owe and finding discrepancies. Some of these discrepancies may be big enough to have your debt dismissed and you can walk away from them completely free! This isn’t common, but having an attorney review your case should be your first step if you’ve been notified of a lawsuit against you.
