I am in the beginning stages of entering an agreement with Defense Lawyers, P.Aand after reviewing some of the information here, I am distressed, as to proceed forwardI was hoping for a positive experience, and for them to assist me in becoming debt freeCan someone please tell me, if they have had a positive experience with this company?
Defense Lawyers, P.Ais a horrible company! My husband and I were convinced by them to join their program in January of They made the offer into their program sound extremely helpfulThey told us they could eliminate our credit card debt and we would make a monthly payment to themThey were not truthful or forthcoming with any information in the sign up processOnly after making a couple payments to them did we figure out that our credit score was being horribly damagedBut not because they told us, but because one of our credit card statements showed our current credit scoreWhen confronted with questions and issues about the process, our caseworker was a complete iShe didn't know how to answer many of the questions we were askingShe was a scatterbrain and had a tough time returning emails we sent to herIt was impossible to get in contact with her via phoneOnce she even called and left a voice mail for me using the wrong clients names! Very unprofessional! Upon realizing this company was a scam, we went behind their backs and put a stop on the payments at our bankWhen I finally got in contact with them to tell them we were pulling out of the program, they seemed indifferentWe were just another number to themThe manager tried to get us to stay in the program by telling us that one of our creditors had decided to settleInteresting that this was not told to us previously, only when we are leaving the programScam! The bottom line is they will tell you what you want to hear, make you feel like they care about you as a client, and then drag your credit score to the lowest it can goWhatever they tell you, don't believe them
