While Allegro appears to be legit, they are extremely shady. They are NOT a law firm. Basically, I did the math and a miniscule amount of my monthly payments would be going in escrow for the first 18 months. You are essentially paying them upfront thousands of dollars to perform a service you can do yourself, and get started underway much quicker (with the money you save on their fees). Remember, if your creditor sues you, Allegro cannot represent you in court - you need to hire counsel anyway. They also told me they would refund my first escrow deposit but that turned out not to be the case. I am disputing the payment through my bank. I do not recommend this company.

I'm with Superior; I had just too big of a problem to deal with my mess on my own. I investigated them on the BBB first before I signed up, and they do have some negatives, but most complaints have been resolved. That is an important statistic. Their BBB rating is pretty high. Also, one has to keep in mind the emotional and frustrated state people are in when they make complaints - especially with debt problems - it is easy to panic and assume you're not being helped properly when it seems like the world is crashing down around you. I am still comfortable with them, even after hearing some negative remarks, because each case is different and debt settlements take TIME and strong nerves.

Allegro Law is law firm. Keith Nelms Esquire is the lead attorney. If you asked for credentials you would have received them. Apparently you don't read contracts before you sign them. That is, if you're a real client. Also, debt settlement helps prevent lawsuits. With Allegro you're not hiring litigation attorneys, you are hiring negotiation attorneys. Also, if you can do this yourself, you should teach the people with garnished wages they can do it themselves. Settling a debt for $500 is much different than settling debts for $50,000.

Whatever you do do not sign on with James Lombardo he used to run a company called American Liberty Financial out of Florida operating out of Irvine, CA. He did mostly wholesale debt settlement with this company, meaning he negotiated on overflow accounts from other debt settlement companies, leaving many client to rot and get sued by their creditors or junk debt buyers such as LVNV. How do i know all this, I worked for one of the so called legit and very clean with a spotless BBB rating called CuraDebt out of San Diego, CA. I used to fix what this mans company never did which was not negotiate on clients behalf. This guy had some sort of scam going on with Wolpoff and Abramson, the arbitration king where he used to get really great settlements on MBNA. As for CuraDebt out of San Diego, they are no better than James Lombardo, nicely kept BBB rating at their clients expense. Do not always trust BBB ratings, they are not what they seem.. If you want to learnmore about james Lombardo just do a goole search and you will find out some horro stories!
