Our goal is always an outright dismissal of your debts
Consumers are often unaware that creditors and third-party creditors have inadequate records to prove their case. Our attorneys strive to keep these faulty and unreliable business records out of evidence. When we are most successful, the creditor dismisses the case, and our Case Results list shows just how common such dismissals were as recently as 2016. In that year, in 22 actions with the National Collegiate Student Loan Trust, we got the action dismissed or a result where our client paid nothing.
Being in debt is difficult enough without dealing with the complexities of a lawsuit. You may be suffering at the hands of ruthless agencies that ignore the debt collector laws of the United States and the State of Texas. At the Law Office of David A. Fernandez, P.C., you receive the help of Houston consumer law attorneys who treat you with the respect you deserve while tirelessly defending you in and out of court. We always fight for an outright dismissal of your debts. When a full dismissal isn't possible, we negotiate your debt settlement to ensure that you pay the least amount of money possible on that alleged debt.
