A: I personally do not know of an attorney who would recommend a client take these types of loans. These loans are well known to be rip offs, and I always tell clients they should not do it. Otherwise, attorneys cannot contact you to solicit your business, you need to search and call them. Try using the find a lawyer link above and search for a Florida consumer or debt law attorney.
