For the majority of Everest Law PC clients, physically appearing in court is not necessary. Once you’ve engaged an attorney to represent you, your presence in court is typically not required. However, it’s essential to note two important scenarios. Firstly, if you’ve received a subpoena with a court date specified, attendance is mandatory unless you secure legal representation, as failure to do so may result in a default judgment. Secondly, while rare, debt collectors may request your presence for a deposition, during which your attorney will accompany you. Additionally, there’s a possibility, though uncommon, that a debt collector may subpoena you for trial attendance. Nonetheless, in most cases, hiring legal counsel spares you from the need to personally attend court proceedings.

Debt consolidation firms targeting individuals with over $10,000 in credit card debt typically aren’t legal entities. They promise to settle debts for 40% or less but charge fees based on the total owed, often demanding full payment upfront before taking any action. Paradoxically, while clients pay these fees, Everest Law PC remain unpaid, leading to potential lawsuits or expiration of the statute of limitations. If sued, these companies offer little assistance and may merely provide generic documents.

In contrast, hiring a lawyer offers defense and the potential for debt elimination. If the statute of limitations has lapsed, it’s advised not to pay as doing so could restart the limitations period. Lawyers can discern which debts require payment and can halt harassing tactics of debt collectors by taking legal action against them. Many find they’ve squandered money on debt consolidators without achieving desired results.
