Allegro Law Firm reviews – has anyone worked with them?

If anyone is working with any group suing Allegro Law or anything similar, please include me. Email me at
I am going to any attorney next week. Have been served with 3 civil summons, and all creditors said they were never contacted by Allegro Law on my behalf, even though I mailed/faxed them MANY letters from creditors, etc. So it's not like they just didn't want to settle...these creditors were NEVER CONTACTED, period!
They have right around $20K between my husband and I in the last 18 months, and they've not settled a single credit card. Now I've got a police officer showing up at my house about once per week serving me with another civil summons.
I can't believe I fell for this. I asked SO many questions when I was talking to Rebecca McFarland (our representative) and she was so reassuring and told us that she's never had anyone whose debts were not settled successfully and that no one she'd ever represented had ever been sued. She claimed to have been working for Allegro Law for many years.
I don't know how the people who work for this company can sleep at night knowing they are lying and creating a ticking timebomb to ruin the lives of those they are claiming to help.
If anyone has had ANY luck with anything, or if anyone knows of any group of people submitting evidence for a suit against Allegro Law, PLEASE email me.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Sescilla

Allegro law firm has proven to us to be the biggest scam ever. We were turned onto them by their frequent commercials on a right wing talk radio station. The biggest slam is the fact that Allegros commercials were most frequently aired during dave ramseys money management show. Allegro did NOTHING for us, but convince us to let all of our payments lapse while we sent money to them, to "save" until our debts got to the point of no return. After that, they were supposedly going to negotiate our debt settlements with the money we had been sending. It would've been nice if they had told us that they were in the midst of a major lawsuit, and were TOTAL fuck-ups before we started working with them. We have since cancelled our contract with them, and have been waiting for over 6 months now to be paid back the $2000 that they we paid to them to pay on our debts. We have now had to negotiate our own payback plans ourselves with our collectors.....many of which are lawyers now, due to allegros advice to just let everything lapse till they could take care of it. bottom line, DO NOT JOIN THIS SCAM!!

I am currently using Allegro Law Firm, I am suprised to see so many people with good things to say about them. I actually "finished" paying the program early, well that was a year ago and my debts still are not settled! Its so frustrating to call and talk to someone. One day I waited an hour and a half to speak with someone and all they did was give me the run around. Needless to say I would not recommend them to anyone. They have aweful communication, and customer service reps who are not trained well enough to help customers with questions. I really hope they step up and get my debts taken care of. Or is there anyway I can get my eskro back and pay my debts myself?

I have to bear the bad news, that I guess shouldn't surprise anyone who got suckered by Allegro Law. Posted 4-2-10 on the GetOutofDebt.org site (Steve Rhode is the get out of debt advice guy): darling crook of the century, Andy Nehlms, owner of Allegro Law, has now filed personal bankruptcy, listing Allegro Law as a personal asset. Louis Colley is now the FORMER receiver of Allegro Law!! The law is such that now the bankruptcy court is in charge. ALL ALLEGRO CLIENT ACCOUNTS ARE CLOSED!! This mother fucker has got to be Satan in disguise. He wasn't satisfied stealing money from thousands of desolate people, now he's doing his damndest to see that the courts can't give it back to the people who got royally screwed....he'd probably steal the shirt right off his mother's back! Someday, someone will fuck him back,twice as bad. You will burn in a slow and torturous manner to the death that should have come to you long ago.....forget the pearly gates and happiness asshole!

@ mona lisa

mona lisa I am so sorry to hear this. Allegro Law is over but the scam goes on. I was one on this site and thread to expose them. I did my best but they still got a few folks. This is very unfortunate.

I wonder if Nelms will get away? Are his assets still frozen?

Why isn't someone prosecuting this bum to get some jail time? So, he's filed bankruptcy....Big deal! Due to my disability, my wife and I were unable to keep up with our debts, so contacted this "Debt Consolidation" company to try and work things out with our creditors. $26,000 later paid to this crook, we're in worse financial shape than we were at the outset. Stupid? Yes, you could certainly call us stupid. No doubt, we'll have years, probably the rest that I have left, trying to catch up with our debts. We weren't trying to avoid the debts, just stretch them out so we could pay up honorably. Now we're bums, trying to get a free ride. It makes me sick that no one will criminally prosecute Keith Anderson Nelms and any others who aided him in this treachery. It seems like if you're a lawyer, nobody with the power (others with a legal background) is interested in sending you to jail. I'm sure that if I had ripped someone off for $26,000, I'd be in the pokey right now, trying to look unappealing to some drooling moron who thinks I have a "purty mouth". It's time the government does more to these con artists than take away their vacation homes and penthouse suites. Thanks for letting me let off a little steam. I didn't use any bad words, although I've plenty of them in mind.

I would call DS Financial they don't charge much and they will buy you some time and get the job done. They can be reached at 866-833-6398.

this is a lie allegro is a scam dont give them your money

allegro is a fucking scam anyone who says that allegro helped them is lying

fuck allegro

FUCK Nehlms YOU piece of SHIT FUCK ALLEGRO

Hey quick question. I joined the Achievable which used Allegro to negotiate lower interest rates only. I paid each month money, but they paid the credit card companies each month. Sometimes late, but nonetheless, they always paid. Now I need to get the automatic withdrawal from my checking account stopped(luckily one has not been taken from my account this month). Anyone know anyway to get in touch with anyone who can stop this automatic withdrawal?

Below you will find the lastest post from the receivership... Again, Allegro Law has XXXXXX us without even buying us dinner!!!! I really hate this man!!
4/5/2010 - Bankruptcy Statement
Keith Anderson Nelms, owner of Allegro Law, LLC, has filed for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Alabama. As a result of Nelms listing Allegro Law, LLC as a solely owned asset of his bankruptcy estate, the Bankruptcy Court has determined that Allegro Law, LLC should be placed under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and that has been done in Bankruptcy Case No. 10-30630 in the Middle District of Alabama. This was done over the objection of the Attorney General, Securities Commission and Court Appointed Receiver. There will be no further debt management payments nor debt settlement action taken. All customers of Allegro Law, LLC should have all draws from their accounts stopped and no further payments should be sent. All assets held by and claims against Allegro Law, LLC are to be administered pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code and distributed according to Title 11, U. S. Code. Notification to all potential claimants of Allegro Law, LLC will be provided by mail and they will be entitled to file a claim in this case. The receiver has no authority in the bankruptcy and no correspondence or contact should be directed to receiver.
DO NOT CONTACT THE RECEIVER. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO RESPOND ON BEHALF OF ALLEGRO LAW, LLC ANY LONGER.
Come on now, I know you're angry but you really need to watch your language!

You'll never get ahold of anyone to "cancel your contract" and stop the auto withdrawals. Your bank will charge you a stop payment fee every month if you go that route. The only way is to close your bank account. I had to and I wasn't taking any chances....I even changed banks! The bankruptcy court in the district where Keith Asshole Nehlms filed bankruptcy has closed all client accounts that were involved with debt management and debt settlement. Allegro Law no longer exists. The thieving bastards in New York, Americorp, I think were the actual company making the automatic withdrawals on all of us suckers' bank accounts. The bankruptcy court of course has everything frozen as far as personal and business assets and that court will dispurse any funds obtained by the selling off of Nehlm's lovely home, vehicles and whatever else he bought with OUR money! He has so many other personal debts that it doesn't look good that any former Allegro clients will get any of the money back that he stole from us. He's got tax debts for a number of years that he didn't pay and the list goes on and on.....at this point I guess I'm more stupid than when I signed with Allegro because I can't understand why the Attorney Generals of both Alabama and New York and Florida for that matter, haven't pressed criminal charges on him. He could have filed for bankruptcy before the AL AG appointed the receiver, but I feel he waited just to fuck up the receiver and the court system. Look at all the time and work Louis Colley went through for nothing! Nehlms knew this! I think the fees for Louis Colley were supposed to come out of any monies he would have recovered for us, so now Nehlms has screwed him too! If I remember right, he listed the unpaid fees to state of AL and the receiver as part of his personal debts in his bankruptcy case. Check out the Get Out of Debt Guy's website....its horrifying.....all the dirt he's posted on Nehlms in the last year....only I never knew until it was too late! What he stole from me would have paid for my attorney and court fees (and then some) for the fact that I ended up filing for bankruptcy myself SOL!

Stay away from Allegro, far away! They are thieves and scammers. Anyone who has anything good to say about these people must work for them and are probably getting paid with the money they steal from you.

Go to your bank immediately and put a stop payment on your account even if you have to pay a fee Or close your account and open a new one. Email them at DSCS@allegrolawfirm.com and demand that they do not withdraw another penny from your account. Are you absolutely sure they have been paying your credit cards? Its not they way they operate. They pay themselves first and most credit card companies won't even do business with them. Good luck!
