Sample matters
How four flat-fee matters ended
One from each kind of trouble we take on, with what the client paid noted beside it.
Dismissed
Collector lawsuit, a store card
A debt buyer sued over a card it could not trace to the client. We filed the answer the week the summons arrived, and the buyer dropped the suit.
Flat fee, agreed in advance.
Removed
Credit report error

Before the first call
Questions people ask before they send anything
What does a flat fee cover?
The work named in your engagement letter, for the price on it. If the job turns out bigger, we tell you and you decide. We never bill by the hour behind your back.
I was served with a lawsuit. How long do I have?
The summons says, and the number of days is short. Send it to us the day it arrives. A lawsuit that goes unanswered can end in a judgment against you.
Do I have to pay the debt?
Not until someone proves it’s yours and the amount is right. We check both first, then tell you whether to dispute it, settle it or leave it.
Can you help if I live far from Overland Park?
Yes. We meet by video and handle paper by email, for clients across Kansas. If a court is too far for a flat fee to make sense, we tell you before you pay.
What should I send first?
A photo of the bill, letter or summons. Leave off account numbers and your Social Security number; we’ll ask for what we need once we talk.
Bring the bill, the letter or the summons.
Send a photo of the paper. A lawyer reads it and writes back with what it is and what it would cost to deal with it.
