Turnbull Law Group, LLC: legal defense against creditors and consumer debt

Turnbull Law Group, LLC is a law firm based in Downers Grove, Illinois, that focuses its practice on defending consumers with financial problems. Its legal team advises individuals who need to resolve debts, face creditor lawsuits, or evaluate bankruptcy as a way out. The firm presents itself as a federally designated debt relief agency, a status that allows it to assist people seeking relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The firm itself reports its track record as more than $1.7 billion in debt resolved, more than 490,000 accounts negotiated, and more than 120,000 clients served.

Practice areas

The firm structures its legal assistance around four fronts aimed at indebted consumers:

• Debt negotiation: an attorney-represented program in which the firm negotiates with creditors to reduce the amount owed, with the goal of helping the client pay off their debt rather than making only minimum payments.
• Consumer litigation defense: representation of clients sued by creditors who turn to the courts to collect a debt.
• Bankruptcy law: guidance on choosing the appropriate type of bankruptcy based on the client's situation and support throughout the process.
• FDCPA violations: defense against abusive, unfair, or deceptive debt collector practices, protected under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Debt negotiation as an alternative to bankruptcy

The firm notes that many consumers are unaware that an alternative to bankruptcy exists when they are facing financial difficulties. In that scenario, debt negotiation is presented as a path for those who cannot meet their obligations: attorneys negotiate a settlement with creditors to reduce the amount owed. The team evaluates whether this program fits each person's situation and financial goals before proposing it.

Litigation, bankruptcy, and protection from debt collector harassment

When creditors take a debtor to court, the firm takes on their defense to ensure fair treatment. In bankruptcy matters, the firm helps determine whether it is the most sensible solution, especially when other options have been exhausted, and reviews the client's financial situation to inform them of their alternatives. Regarding the FDCPA, the firm defends consumers who experience debt collector harassment, a law that prohibits abusive, unfair, and deceptive practices during debt collection.
