Q: I am being sued by a credit card company. Is there an attorney that can help me settle before the case goes to court?

A: Yes, you can get an attorney to negotiate on your behalf based upon what you can realistically afford.

Keep in mind you will be stuck paying your attorney hourly fees while this is addressed and settled.
