"I had an outstanding experience working with Adam through ContractsCounsel. Adam exceeded my expectations in every respect. He was highly responsive, thoughtful, strategic, and incredibly thorough in his work. He took the time to understand the facts and objectives of my matter, provided practical legal guidance, and consistently delivered high-quality work product on a tight timeline. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. Adam not only addressed the legal issues I brought to him, but also identified risks, strengthened my position, and offered valuable strategic recommendations that I had not considered. His communication was clear, professional, and timely throughout the engagement. I have worked with many attorneys over the years, and Adam stands out for his combination of legal expertise, business judgment, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to his client's success. I would not hesitate to hire Adam again and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, diligent, and trustworthy attorney. Five stars without reservation."

When to use a debt settlement agreement?
I have recently been struggling to pay off my credit card debt, and I'm trying to find the best way to settle this debt. I am considering a debt settlement agreement, but I'm not sure when it is appropriate to use one. I understand that a debt settlement agreement is a legally binding agreement between a creditor and a debtor, and I want to know if this is a viable option for my situation.

I only just saw your question - sorry you have been waiting since July 30, 2023! Whether a settlement agreement is your best choice is very fact-specific. In many situations, it's a good option if you can negotiate a far lower pay-off amount, but in some situations bankruptcy and a "clean slate" is the best option. Many legal servies/legal aid offices may offer free debt assistance -if it's not too late, I suggest that you contact such an office.

Debt settlement agreement vs. bankruptcy?
I am currently in a difficult financial situation and am looking at my options to get out of debt. I am considering both a debt settlement agreement and filing for bankruptcy, but am not sure which option is best for my situation. I am hoping to get advice from a lawyer regarding the pros and cons of each option, so that I can make an informed decision.

Bankruptcy is a very large part of my practice. I have had many clients that have attempted to use a debt resolution service without success. Unfortunately, they often pay a substantial amount of money to the service, their debts do not get resolved, they end up in bankruptcy anyway, and they do not get their money back. Aside from the difficulties in successfully completing a debt settlement agreement, there is also a tax issue. Forgiven debt is considered taxable income. You will receive a 1099 from any creditor that accepted a reduced amount to satisfy a debt. The result may be an income tax liability that you were not expecting. Debts that are discharged in bankruptcy are not counted as income.
