Once you've engaged the services of a bankruptcy attorney, many of your creditors will call your attorney's office instead of contacting you directly.

Can I file a complaint against debt collectors?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, if you feel that you have been the victim or that a debt collector has violated the fair debt collection practices act, there's two things you can do. The law provides for civil remedy. That means you can hire an attorney to prosecute the matter and pursue your rights.

What do I do if a debt collector has violated the law?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, if you believe a debt collector has cross the line or violated the law, what you first must do is document the wrongdoing. So many times I have clients that come in and they tell me in general that a debt collector has crossed the line, but what I specifically need to know, or what an attorney needs to know is what exactly were the bad acts? For example, a common violation is phone calls- harassing phone calls by the debt collectors after the given time periods. Or they've said harassing or abusive things to that consumer. You need to document that, get the time, date, who you spoke with and what was said, and give that over to your attorney and that's the first step in prosecuting one of these claims.

How much money can I collect after a motorcycle accident?

Proner & Proner

Fortunately, according to the law of New York State, involving in motorcycle accidents, you're entitled to $1 for the injuries you've sustained, because they are not covered under the no-fault law in New York - 5102 insurance section. Because of that, even if you have a broken thumb, you're entitled to a fair compensation for a broken thumb, or even just a bruise on your knee. But if you wanna get multi-million dollars you need to have catastrophic injuries, and hopefully you don't have that type of case for your own sake, because the health is always more important to any money you can get in a lawsuit.

How much money can I collect from a car accident in New York?

Proner & Proner

After a car accident in New York if you're expecting to get significant money, the only way you're going to get that is if you're entitled to it and you have a skilled attorney working for you and you've sustained significant injuries. If your injuries are minimal, you're not going to get much money because even if you have a skilled attorney working for you and they get a tremendous amount of money from a jury, it's going to go up on appeal and you'll never see that money because your injuries aren't that significant. But if you've had significant injuries you could get serious money if you have a serious attorney working for you. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you're looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved on in New York, contact me today.
