Donovan, you defend every single bad review, pointing out things like "as per the agreement you signed." You mean the agreements you were PRESSURED to sign. Don't bother commenting on this because you'll be defending the indefensible. I got totally scammed. My credit score of over 800 (Excellent) before ELP contacted me, is now on high 500s to low 600s (POOR). ELP misrepresented what exactly they did. The FIRST THING Mo should have said when he was selling your scamming business is this: " it's going to ruin your credit." Bec of ELP, i got my first collections letter ever! I've paid $2,010.08 to date, $251.26 a month for 8 months. Since all you people do is take ownership of loans on people's credit reports, say you represent your client and NO ONE can do anything with the debts. You encouraged me to send you anything you could grab at as something else ELP can add to the list of negative things about debts, in my case $8,000, which i was TRICKED into turning over to ELP who promised to "scrub my record clean." My record was obviously pretty clean with the score of over 800 already. Because of you, I lost an open line of credit there.I've had for years with my credit union. Besides that, they would loan me up to $6,000, usually to buy a new used vehicle. Now they nor any other financial entity will loan me a cent. I don't know when my current used 2013 will need to be replaced, but you've f'd up any chance of any financial institution giving me a loan. I sent a letter certified to ELP in Los Angeles stating I WANT MY MONEY BACK. Again, don't respond to this with one of your lengthy detailed EXCUSES. They are indefensible so don't defend them. This has messed my life up so much that I am taking ELP all the way to the cleaners. Including elder abuse on a disabled senior citizen. read more

I wish I could give ZERO stars. Rude, condescending and so much pressure it's like an interrogation! If you even try to attempt to say no the pressure gets worse and so do the insults. The only few good reviews have got to be from people who work there. No way anyone had a good experience with this place. The Better Business Bureau rating they have on their website is not accurate. COntact them directly they will tell you the true rating for this company. STAY FAR FAR AWAY! read more

Title: Misled, mistreated, and now worse off -- avoid this firm I signed up with Elite Legal Practice PC for debt consolidation and paid them consistently for over a year. Then one day, I get aggressive banging on my door -- terrifying my entire household -- only to find out I'm being sued by one of my creditors. ELP never disclosed that I could still be sued, nor that the money I was paying them wasn't going toward my actual debt but toward legal fees. What legal work, exactly? Because nothing has been done. My credit score has plummeted since joining their program. None of my debts have been reduced or managed. This firm has done nothing but take my money and leave me worse off. They promised me my credit score would recover in a year or so. What a LIE! After months of trying to reach their managing attorney, Timothy Thomas, he finally promised that the amount I now owe the creditor suing me would be deducted from what I pay ELP. THAT PROMISE WAS BROKEN. They lowered my payment slightly -- but not enough. Now I owe MORE per month overall towards a debt I was sued for -- the very debt I thought had been "consolidated" under their program. Meanwhile, the program itself has yielded zero results. The worst part? The way they treat you. Calling their office is a dehumanizing experience. You're dismissed, ignored, and spoken to like you don't matter. Every promise they make is a lie. This firm is a scam, and I regret ever trusting them. read more

I've been in the program for 6 months. I have 18 months left and I really have to say that this has been a great experience working with ELP so far. They communicate with me regularly and have made turned this hardship situation into a hopeful path free of creditors. I don't usually post reviews but I felt it was important to let people know that these are the guys to go to. read more

Elite Legal practice is a total SCAM, don't get fooled by this company, paid them for more than 2 years over $5k for nothing. I should just settled it myself if I only knew. The government (BBB) should do something to stop them SCAMMING more innocent people. read more

With the many scams out there this "law firm" did not help me. I had a bunch of debt and they told me they would give me financial stability. I WAS SO HAPPY! Forward a few months and my debt is increasing, nothing has been resolved and they just told me my monthly payments were for legal fees... Very weird considering they told me they would help with my debt. DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Having elite legal practice work with me and my creditors is the worst decision I've ever made. I was with them over a year and they did absolutely nothing to help. I would call and ask for updates and would never get contacted. There communication is horrible. They made my bad situation far,far,far worse than imaginable. These people should be disbarred. Elite legal practice is nothing but a scam! read more

With all the telemarking phone and scam phone calls you get daily its very scary to actual trust the person calling you. I recieved a call from a very polite and professional man asking me if i needed help getting out of debt. Well I'm so over my head in credit card debt I decided to hear him out. He was able to consalidate all my debt and come up with a realistic option to actally get myself out of this hole. It took a some time because I'm in debt becasue I don't have the money to pay in full but Elite Legal Practice changed my life and helped me navigate through a very stressful time in my life. Two more payments and I'm debt free!!! To anyone that is feeling like they are drowning in debt there is help out there. And you found them. read more

I fell into this con because ELP lead me to believe that the money I was paying them would go to pay off the debt I assigned to them. After paying them for 9 months I received court papers from 1 of my debtors for collection of the debt. When I notified ELP of this information they assigned a lawyer and I had to go to court. ELP also told me that I would have to pay the bill and continue paying them the monthly payment. This has caused me to file bankruptcy losing everything I had acquired over the years. Please consider other options before you even consider doing business with ELP. One option I can recommend is a true debt relief company that actually negotiates your debt and makes the payments from the funds you pay them. There are several out there. Ask questions when you call them. It may take a couple of years to get the debt paid but it will be better than losing everything you work for. Bankruptcy is a last resort. I didn't get that choice because I trusted ELP for too long there was no other recovery for me. I hopes this helps you make your decision and good luck with any decision you make. D. E. another dissatisfied ELP customer read more

SCAM. There's no other way to put it. Very disappointed with Elite. They promise to offer "legal services" to wipe out your debt. Not only will this not happen, but your credit score will drop 200 points & you will get sued by creditors. And, when Elite said Tim Thomas (managing attorney of ELP) would reach out today at 11, he didn't even call to resolve the matter and the email Elite gave me for him is bouncing back. UPDATE: I already have called your practice and NO ONE has responded. I emailed Tim Thomas today, and have had NO response. I emailed Taylor (Long - I think?), NO response. I emailed Client Care & called. NO response. I have not received a single response besides on this public platform. read more

Signed contract 06/06/2023 for a monthly payment of $296.02 for 35 months and 36 month $295.92. Elite Legal Practice was supposed to represent me with two credit cards I needed help with due to lack of work during covid so credit cards racked up and I couldn't stay a float. For the last 3 years I have emailed and called to constantly be told they're still working on everything and it's going smoothly. I was told back in January by Taylor via email that everything was being handled properly and the credit card companies had 30-45 days to respond well here it is June and no one has reached out to me so I decided to once again email two weeks ago and call last week and check on things to find out that I have a judgement against me that was never sent to me! Also to find out that the lawyer representing me stated he would be present but did not show. This law firm is a disaster they have made everything worse for me and constantly keep giving me the run around. I would not trust them and I certainly do not recommend them because I even reached out on 06.11 and 06.12 and someone was supposed to return my call to explain to me what will happen next and to discuss a refund and of course no one has called. DO NOT WASTE your money on them they are a joke! I am hoping to atleast receive half of my money back if not all for the poor job they've done representing me and now causing me to owe more money. Jessica stopped June's payment until further notice which leads me to believe they know they've messed up. And the keep removing my bbb review read more

I responded to a debt consolidation loan I received in the mail. I called the company to apply for the loan and was told I didn't qualify at this time but they said they were able to offer me a program that will take care of my loans and credit cards. I didn't completely understand and 4 days later I called and canceled. 30 days later, still no refund!!!! I've spoken to numerous people who have promised to push the paperwork to get my money returned, NOTHING! Steer clear of this company! read more

no stars. so much for helping. i am being sued by creditors and have all these legal problems because of them...i am worst off that when i started with them. i called them and i was told i was one of the unlucky ones. i requested a refund and was denied. now i need all that money back to pay my creditors. share your experience . read more

They tell you not to pay. Make you pay them for over a year. Then wait until you get sued by creditors & claim you need to settle with the creditors. I could do that myself read more

Total SCAM. Signed up with Elite Legal Practice 18 months ago. At first they told me if sign I sign up and I will save 12 grand on 30 grand debt by just paying 400ish amount to them to settle the debt. once I agreed they turned the bait and switch that saying 400 is going to be only for their service on the contract and not a penny goes towards paying debt. They told me not pay my credit cards so I will be late on payments and the credits goes to collections and the collections agencies started suing, showing with summons at my door. During this time this company just waited till I get sued. Once I was sued the credit companies were asking for original money + late fees+ penalties + court fees which is usually between 30 to 50 percentage increases on original debt. At this time this ELP outsourced to hire a lawyer to negotiate this amount and usually if I would get lucky I would be paying the original amount I owned them. And this ELP would negotiate for me not pay the extra fees and bragging about saving me money. So basically just making you circling around your self so they can benefit their third party attorney and charge you stupid exorbitant money for just sitting in the office and do nothing till you get sued. In my case, I ended up paying not only more than what I was paying towards my debt before hiring ELP but also ELP made me to pay for their monthly services. I believe, this is a fraud, and they should be prosecuted. Contact me you would like to file a class action lawsuit. read more

SCAM company. Please avoid. I started with a 720 credit score. They told me not to pay my debts. Now my score is 500. I was told my credit debt would be wiped away but now creditors are suing me. I've been paying this company over $400 a month & now since I'm being sued I will owe even more than I did when I signed up here. And their "legal team" won't even litigate all they are willing to do is settle. I've been paying over $4k in the last year for NOTHING! PLEASE AVOID read more
