Contact your state bar association for a referral or visit the American Bar Association for information and a list of qualified attorneys in your area. Unless there are mitigating circumstances an attorney cannot do anything that the debtor defendant is not able to do for themselves. Generally a debtor can negotiate with the creditor/collector before a suit is heard and often after a judgment has been rendered, depending on the circumstances. Many attorneys (general law, bankruptcy) for a set fee contact the plaintiff on behalf of the debtor to try and reach an agreement even if the suit has been filed. The consumer should be cautious in hiring representation and should not enter into any agreement with the creditor and/or legal counsel unless he or she has a complete understanding of the terms.
