The country’s first truly national consumer law firm stands by indebted clients in face of political and profit-driven lawsuits.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 05, 2011
LHDR is aggressively challenging an administrative order from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The law firm’s senior partners, Thomas G. Macey and Jeffrey J. Aleman, both licensed Illinois attorneys, defend their law firm stating that the Department has its facts completely wrong and is motivated by pressure from the banks who are upset because LHDR has taken them to task for their abusive practices against innocent Illinois consumers.
“We are a law firm, the first truly national consumer law firm in the country,” said Jason Searns, Managing Attorney. “Our clients need alternative debt resolution options, such as financial workouts with their creditors because they can’t afford usurious interest rates and to be kept awake all night with harassing phone calls from the credit card companies and banks. If the Illinois politicians want to side with the banks and assist them in this harassment, then so be it, but we have a duty to protect our clients- something the politicians are not doing.”
“The Department, along with the attorney general’s office, just like Illinois consumers, have fallen victim to the will of the banks and instead of protecting consumers from the banks’ ruthless practices, are seeking political favors from the banks by attacking those who protect consumers and challenge their vicious practices.” Said Jason Searns, Managing Attorney.
LHDR’s mission is to provide ethical, cost-effective legal services to consumers across America, protecting them from abusive creditor practices. LHDR is a consumer advocacy law firm that protects its clients’ rights and negotiates burdensome debts. If a client is sued, just like any other law firm, LHDR represents them in court and litigates or settles the case in favor of its client. “We don’t ever see the Department or the Attorney General standing up for Illinois residents against the abusive banks, and we feel a great ethical obligation to do so. We wish the politicians would, but that job has fallen to us to do within the confines of what lawyers are allowed to do for their clients.” said Searns.
Searns explained that while banks prefer consumers repay some of their debt rather than discharging it entirely in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, they do not want consumers who can afford full repayment to attempt to repay only a portion of what is owed. In fact, banks successfully restricted the availability of debt resolution services for consumers in some states, but legitimately indebted consumers can still seek mutually beneficial debt work-outs with the help of LHDR.
LHDR is composed of attorney partners in every state who are in good standing with state bars and prepared to provide whatever services their clients need.
