Dombrow Law Firm is a dedicated consumer rights and financial litigation practice based in Syracuse, New York, led by award-winning attorney Russell Dombrow, defending consumers against predatory debt collectors, mortgage servicing abuses, credit reporting errors, and auto dealership fraud across New York State.
Tenacious Consumer Protection and Debt Defense in Syracuse
Dombrow Law Firm is an assertive consumer litigation practice located at 499 South Warren Street in Downtown Syracuse, New York. Founded in 2012 by attorney Russell W. Dombrow, the firm champions the legal rights of everyday New Yorkers battling abusive financial institutions, predatory auto dealerships, and aggressive debt collectors. Attorney Dombrow earned his Juris Doctor from Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law Center and holds a Master of Science in Management Information Systems. He began his legal career as a staff attorney at the Justice Alliance of Central New York (Legal Aid Society of Mid-New York and Legal Services of Central New York), where he defended low-income tenants facing wrongful evictions and consumer debt actions. Honored by the New York State Bar Association with the 2021 President's Pro Bono Service Award and a proud member of the National Association of Consumer Advocates, attorney Dombrow combines technological proficiency with sharp litigation strategy. When corporate entities take unfair advantage of consumers, individuals need a lawyer who investigates the facts thoroughly and enforces consumer protection laws.
Debt Collection Defense and Mortgage Servicing Litigation
Being sued by a collection agency or debt buyer can result in frozen bank accounts and severe wage garnishments. As experienced debt relief lawyers, the firm defends consumers against collection lawsuits in New York Supreme Court and local city courts. Attorney Dombrow identifies improper service of process, missing chains of title assignment, and violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). In addition, the firm handles mortgage servicing disputes under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), challenging servicers who miscalculate escrow accounts, fail to acknowledge qualified written requests, or initiate unlawful foreclosure proceedings.
Credit Reporting Corrections and Auto Dealer Fraud
Damaged credit reports can prevent individuals from securing housing, employment, or reasonable interest rates. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the firm holds credit reporting agencies and data furnishers liable when they refuse to correct inaccurate notations, mixed credit files, or identity theft records after formal disputes. Furthermore, Dombrow Law Firm actively investigates automobile dealer fraud across Upstate New York, pursuing claims against dealerships that engage in financing deception, spot delivery scams, failure to disclose major collision or flood damage, and deceptive warranty practices.
Focused Consumer Rights Practice Areas
Dombrow Law Firm represents clients in state and federal courts throughout New York, concentrating on:
- Debt collection lawsuit defense: Defending debt collection actions, vacating default judgments, and stopping improper wage garnishments.
- Mortgage and foreclosure defense: Holding mortgage servicers accountable under RESPA and asserting statutory defenses against foreclosure.
- Credit reporting violations (FCRA): Forcing credit bureaus to remove inaccurate information and pursuing statutory compensation for non-compliance.
- Automobile dealer fraud: Representing car buyers victimized by deceptive loan terms, undisclosed structural damage, and fraudulent sales tactics.
- Student loan debt counseling: Assisting borrowers with evaluating federal student loan rights, collection defenses, and repayment dispute options.
A Methodical, Document-Focused Case Evaluation
Dombrow Law Firm does not offer generic legal advice; rather, the practice takes on cases that present verifiable legal claims supported by documentation. Clients provide contracts, court summonses, account statements, and dispute correspondence, which attorney Dombrow carefully scrutinizes to identify statutory violations and build compelling claims for damages.
