Who we serve in the Bronx

We help Bronx residents who have been sued by credit card companies or debt buyers, those facing collection calls, and those already subject to judgments, garnishments, or bank restraints.

We focus on practical remedies that minimize disruption to daily life.

About our Bronx Practice - What Sets Us Apart

Georgiou Law uses experience from both sides of consumer finance to craft defenses that are realistic, enforceable, and sensitive to client needs.

Attorney Efstathios Georgiou prioritizes direct attorney access and clear communication.

How a Bronx credit card case progresses and what that means for you

A complaint typically alleges an unpaid balance and requests judgment. If a judgment is entered and not satisfied, a creditor may seek garnishment or other enforcement. Our role is to:

  • Protect you from default entry.
  • Challenge the creditor’s proof and procedural compliance.
  • Negotiate solutions that preserve exempt income and protect essentials.

We work quickly to identify the best path for each client.

The defenses we evaluate for Bronx clients

  • Chain of title and standing — requiring the creditor to prove ownership.
  • Service issues — improper or defective service can be fatal to a lawsuit.
  • Accounting and calculation errors — we review for overstated balances.
  • Affirmative defenses — including fraud, identity theft, or prior payment claims.
  • Consumer protection violations — where collectors engage in unlawful practices.

A careful document review often reveals leverage points for negotiation.

If a judgment exists: vacatur and enforcement defense

When a judgment is already on file, options may include:

  • Motion to vacate a default judgment if there are valid grounds.
  • Negotiating post-judgment settlements or payment arrangements.
  • Raising exemptions to resist garnishment and protect essential income.

We evaluate past actions and determine the best motion or negotiation strategy based on the record.

Fee transparency and accessibility

We provide clear engagement agreements explaining fees and payment options. For Bronx clients with limited funds we often structure phased work and payment plans to ensure immediate protections can begin without undue delay.

FAQ - Common Bronx Concerns

You should consult an attorney before responding or making payments. Many collection letters are misleading; early legal advice preserves rights.

A freeze usually follows a court order. Contact us immediately so we can evaluate whether the restraint was obtained properly and take steps to release exempt funds.

Get the settlement terms in writing. If a collector violates the settlement, we can enforce the agreement and pursue remedies.
