We were totally out of our element. We had perfect credit profiles in business and our personal lives for 33 years. The business went bad and we were left to pick up the pieces. Every creditor came knocking on our door. One of the most difficult positions of our lives. We were at our wits end. We met Sofya and Michael and they took us by the hand and got us through it. The best advice I can give you is to call them earlier rather than later. It will be easier on you.

Michael and his team were responsive and outstanding from day one. Michael worked on my case for 15 month and ended up in trial.. The outcome couldn’t have turned out any better for me. Michael destroyed the défendent’s attorney and after 2 day the judge ruled in my favor and awarded me every penny we asked for.
