Lawyers Who Treat You Like A Real Person, Not Just Another Number

If you’ve ever talked with a lawyer about a bill problem you’ve probably experienced the feeling that they were running on auto-pilot.  It’s almost as if they were sitting in front of you but just parroting the same advice they’d given hundreds of times to hundreds of nameless, faceless people who came to them for help.

In other words, they weren’t really paying attention to what you needed – they were thinking about the next client coming through the door.

And if you’re like us, you didn’t much care for that.  You wanted someone to listen to what you had to say, and to help you put together a solution that would help you.

Every bankruptcy lawyer pushes bankruptcy.  Even foreclosure defense lawyer pushes fighting the foreclosure and the “produce the note” defense.  Consumer lawyers talk about taping the debt collectors and suing them within an inch of their lives.

The problem is that if the lawyer stopped long enough to listen to you – to really listen to your problems – he or she might think twice about their pre-conceived notions about solutions.

You’re Not A Nail

The real problem is that most lawyers do one thing, and offer one solution no matter the problem.  If you’re in debt, the lawyer knows of only a single solution – and will do everything possible to convince you that this is the only one that will work for you.

Not many New York consumer lawyers can offer more than single solution for your overdue bill problems and help you get your life back together.

There’s an old saying, When you’ve got a hammer, everything looks like a nail.  That’s pretty much how it works.

Except you’re not a nail.  You’re a person, someone who’s got a lot of options to get out of debt.

Let Us Offer You More Than A Hammer

Jay Fleischman and David Shaev have been consumer protection lawyers for a long time – David’s been doing this for 29 years, and Jay is the newbie with “only” 14 years of experience under his belt.  The saying is that it’s called the “practice of law” because nobody can ever get perfect, but David and Jay like to think they’ve seen pretty much everything by now.

Together, David and Jay will work with you to make you fall back in love with your life.  End the phone calls, stop the harassment, halt the foreclosure … whatever solution is right for you is what we’ll offer.  Bankruptcy is an option, but so are a wide variety of things.

Maybe we decide that fighting the foreclosure in state court is going to be the best choice.

Perhaps the bill collectors have gone one step too far, and suing them under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is the best route.

Whatever it is, we’ll work with you to get you where you want to be.
