ONE Week Settlement!

I think this was a record settlement.

On Monday, August 27th, a prospective client retained my services to negotiate a settlement on a lawsuit.  I immediately emailed an offer to the plaintiff's attorney.  After some back and forth communications, he made a very favorable counter offer the following Tuesday, September 4th, which my client accepted.

This was an extremely quick chain of events and the fast settlement was primarily due to the response time from the creditor / plaintiff and their attorney.  I am sure that having some history and a good working relationship with this attorney also helped.

Once again, all parties benefited... I negotiated a substantial discount and favorable payment terms for my client, the creditor will receive a dollar amount they found acceptable without further litigation and I earned a several hundred dollar fee for my efforts.
