New 5.0-star Review: "It was not quite four years ago myself and my husband found ourselves severely drowning in debt of our own reckless doing. When it became overwhelming and no longer manageable, I made a very wise decision to contact CuraDebt after seeing their commercial on TV one night. Mario was understanding when I explained the reason I contacted them and made sure I understood I was not the only person to get themselves in credit card debt hell. Mario explained the program to us and once we agreed to the terms of the program, he assigned us to Brownstone Law Group. Here is where I admit how terrified we were to begin this program, how embarrassed we felt that we had to join a program to get us out of debt. The one bright point during the beginning of starting this program, was I realized we didn't have to file for Chapter 11, that there was a way out. From day one, the staff of Brownstone expressed their willingness to be always available. Whenever we had questions, we got answers. No question was too silly or stupid. We received the guidance we needed throughout the entire program. I can now say with 100% gratitude, that we could have NEVER done this without Brownstone Law Group. We could not have risen above our credit card mistakes, we could not have LEARNED from our credit card mistakes without the help of Brownstone Law Group. It was not an easy start, I won't sugarcoat our experience. It was very rough at first with the frequent phone calls, the 'Past Due' notices received from our many creditors. We had to turn the ringer off on our house phone because the phone would not stop ringing. When we were advised by the staff on how to handle these calls, it made it just a bit easier to deal with. We were always encouraged by the staff to "hang in there, it will get easier as time goes on. You guys are doing great." And sure enough, the last 18 months did get easier to manage. And now ..... we have completed the program ahead of schedule. Imagine our elation when we received the call with the best news we've had in quite a few years. I literally felt the weight of 15 years of disappointment lift off my shoulders. And it's all because of the one phone call I made, the one call that put me in contact with Brownstone Law Group. The best decision I ever made financially. I have and will continue to friends and family about the wonderful, professional and outstanding relationship service we conceived with Brownstone. I am so glad I swallowed my pride and understood we needed professional help. Without Brownstone, I know without a doubt we would have had to file for bankruptcy."

Mr and Mrs C wrote:

Thank you to the Brownstone Law Group for helping us with our debt. Like many other individuals in the U.S., we had a lot of debt. Credit card balances were not going down. Instead they seemed to go up. After speaking to the Brownstone Law Group, four years seemed like a long ways away from being debt free. I can say that the associates at BLG did not quit, they fought hard and were always there helping us!! We were debt free in a little over 3 years. We could not have done it without BLG!! They were very personable and contacted us regularly. We received our completion packet and it feels wonderful!!! Brownstone Law Group - thank you so much for all ur help and guidance!!! We highly recommend the BLG to anyone in need of debt help!!!!
