The Law Office of Patrick A. Kane offers Debt Buyer Lawsuit Defense. A debt buyer purchases debt from the original creditor, primarily a credit card company or private student loan lender, for pennies on the dollar and then attempts to collect the full amount of the original debt by filing a lawsuit at the magisterial district justice or county court naming you as the Defendant. If you fail to respond, the debt buyer will hold a judgment against you which may result in a li...en against your home, the sale of your personal property by the county sheriff and/or the freezing of your bank accounts. Some common debt buyers are Ability Recovery Services, Asset Acceptance, Cavalry SPV I, Jefferson Capital Systems, LVNV Funding, Midland Funding, National Collegiate Student Loan Trust, Portfolio Recovery Associates or Remit Corporation. The Law Office of Patrick A. Kane, LLC, has experience exposing the deficiencies and defects in these lawsuits in order to obtain a favorable outcome. The key is to contact an experienced debt buyer defense attorney as soon as you are served with the lawsuit as there is a limited time (20 days) to file the objections that may result in dismissal. If you are one of the thousands of individuals faced with a debt buyer lawsuit, call me at (570) 876-6904 for a free consultation.

If you successfully completed the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) Program stemming from a DUI or other crime and your record still shows that you were convicted of that charge, I can help. You may be entitled to an expungement of your record which means that records of an earlier process be sealed, thereby making such records unavailable through the state or Federal repositories. Please contact me at (570) 876-6904 to discuss your options.

Pennsylvania's drunk driving laws now apply to prescription medication. Under Pennsylvania DUI penalties, an individual who is caught driving, operating or in control of the operation of a vehicle with traces of sleeping medication such as Ambien, Restoril or Valium, or anti-depression medication like Alprazolam, Xanax, Xanor or Niravam will not only be charged with a Pennsylvania DUI, but in the most serious categories of Pa DUI offenses (third tier). The fact that your doct...or prescribed the medication and you were taking it according to his or her direction does no protect you from a DUI arrest and ultimate conviction. The police officer need only prove that the medication you are or were taking has impaired your ability to safely drive. If you are facing a DUI, please call my office at (570) 876-6904. I have helped many individuals facing a prescription drug DUI with great success.
