Law Office of Donald E Petersen - Orlando, FL

Tireless Consumer Rights and Debt Harassment Litigation in Orlando

When debt collectors cross the line into aggressive harassment, deceptive threats, or unlawful robo-calling, consumers have powerful legal protections under federal and Florida statutes. If your daily life is disrupted by abusive financial agencies, choosing to hire an attorney with decades of specialized trial practice levels the playing field. Founded by Attorney Donald Edward Petersen, a 1988 graduate of Duke Law School, the firm has spent over thirty-five years championing consumer rights across Central Florida. Admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh and Sixth Circuits, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and the Middle District of Florida, Attorney Petersen prosecutes complex individual and class-action claims against predatory collection firms, automobile lenders, mortgage servicers, and nationwide credit bureaus.

Holding Debt Collectors Accountable Under the FDCPA

Third-party debt collectors frequently employ intimidating and illegal tactics to coerce payments from vulnerable individuals. Working alongside assertive debt relief lawyers and consumer rights attorneys ensures that statutory violations are addressed with swift legal action. The firm files lawsuits under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Florida consumer laws, seeking statutory damages, emotional distress compensation, and attorney fees.

• Ceasing abusive phone calls made to family members, neighbors, and workplaces
• Suing collectors for deceptive collection letters, inflated balances, and false threats of arrest
• Halting unlawful collection lawsuits filed after the expiration of Florida statute of limitations
• Defending consumers being actively sued by secondary debt buyers and junk debt purchasers

Stopping Robocalls and Enforcing Bankruptcy Discharge Rights

Unwanted automated calls and persistent text spam violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), entitling consumers to statutory damages per improper call. Furthermore, when individuals complete bankruptcy, federal law strictly prohibits creditors from pursuing discharged debts. Working with experienced bankruptcy lawyers and debt relief advocates protects your fresh financial start from bad faith collectors who continue to send bills or demand payments.

• Prosecuting automated telemarketers, banks, and collection agencies for TCPA robocall violations
• Enforcing federal bankruptcy discharge orders against creditors who unlawfully resume collection
• Correcting damaging credit reporting errors and mixed files under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
• Strategic representation from business litigation lawyers and contract lawyers in consumer finance disputes

Contingency Representation Where Debt Collectors Pay the Fees

Many consumers mistakenly believe they cannot afford top-tier legal advocacy to fight corporate misconduct. Because federal consumer protection laws contain mandatory fee-shifting provisions, Attorney Petersen handles debt harassment and robocall cases on a contingency basis, meaning the offending debt collector or telemarketer pays the legal fees and costs upon successful resolution. Clients never face upfront hourly retainers to assert their statutory consumer rights.
