Real Relief, Real Results

We've helped clients in Mandeville, Covington, and all over Louisiana wipe out debts, stop illegal garnishments, and hold debt collectors accountable for harassment. When bankruptcy is the best or only option, we can refer you to trusted resources-your financial peace of mind comes first.

How We Defend You

1

File court responses to avoid default judgments and stop garnishments before they start

2

Raise legal defenses (wrong person, incorrect amount, missing paperwork, expired statute)

3

Negotiate lump sum settlements or manageable payment plans-often for much less than what's claimed

4

Fight wage garnishments or bank seizures, seeking to exempt your income or assets when possible

5

Go after collectors who break the law-sometimes making them pay you!

Even if you owe the money, we ensure the process is fair and your rights are protected.
