I was skeptical about a free consultation with a lawyer. I though that it would be a scheme for a quick up sale of legal services that I would not need. I was so wrong. The consultation was great. Ian gave me the information that I needed and explained it very well. He did not rush me and answered all my questions in the 15 minute call. I would definitely recommend him.
Testimonial from F. Clarissa Prada
I can say sincerely say Ian C. was a lifesaver. I had a debt from a creditor for almost $11k they were seeking to start garnishing my wages plus interest to total $20k. I seeked and attorney in hopes of getting the amount reduced. But when I got Ian on the case he got my case DISMISSED! I did not have to pay a dollar! I was very fortunate to find him!
Testimonial from Cindy K.
After experiencing severe financial difficulty following a divorce, I found myself being sued by a creditor for the first time in my life. To say that I was panicked would be an understatement. After searching for help on the internet, a consumer website led me to Ian Chowdhury. In all honesty, the thought of dealing with another attorney did not exactly warm my heart. I had dealt with several during my divorce and all they cared about was money. I was sure that Ian would be just like them. I could not have been more wrong.
Ian returned my call that same day and instantly eased my anxiety. I was afraid he would lose interest in my case once he learned that I had minimal financial resources. Instead, he came up with a payment plan that I was able to afford. He worked on my case tirelessly and put far more hours in than he charged me for. There were no surprises and no last minute add-ons. I was most impressed by how much he knew about creditors and the law. He knew every Achilles heel, fought hard and won!
I have never actually met Ian because I was lucky enough to never have to appear in court. My feeling is that he is driven by a strong sense of right and wrong and consumer fairness. He has the perfect combination of knowledge, empathy, and tenacity. If you need someone to advocate for you, look no further. You have found him.
Testimonial from S.Robison
Ian has been a blessing to me and I respect his knowledge and advice. I have never personally met Ian but he has communicated with me via the phone and email regarding my own personal legal battles. I was at a loss as how to handled a situation and was frantically calling everyone in the phone book and on the internet trying to get help. That is how I happen upon Ian Chowdhury on the internet.
I requested a call back from his online call reservation system at his calcoldefprod.wpengine.com which allowed me to pick the time I preferred him to call me back. I made a call reservation and I didn’t have to sit by the phone waiting and hoping for a call back. I knew exactly the time to be at the phone. He did as promised and called on the dot. I actually missed the first call and thought I would never get another call from this guy again. To my surprise his message he left say if I wanted another call back just reserve another time slot. So I did and made it later in the evening and again the call came in right on the dot.
The call was very pleasant, professional and informative and there was no pressure from this guy at all. He knew what I was going through and made me feel less nervous, less anxious and gave me hope where I thought there was none. He gave good sound advice that made a lot of since.. Even though I live in Sacramento Ca. and he is Los Angeles based he has made me feel as if he is just a few mile away. I will definitely refer him to everyone I know, no matter where they live. I have no problems with giving this guy a five star rating. I am sure you won’t either.

Ian is awesome!! He showed truth warmth and caring towards me and was very professional. I was extremely pleased with his handling of my case and the outcome he achieved for me. Like the first review, I requested a call back a website I found called California Collection Defense Dot Com. It was the middle of the night and he had contacted me the next morning. We talked that afternoon and he educated me on my options. Without being pushy, he’s a fighter and I respected that. I DEFINITELY recommend him as an attorney.

Like the prior individual said, he was able to connect with me on the first conversation and showed a genuine interest in helping me with my issue and was able to achieve a very satisfactory outcome and I could not be more pleased. Ian is someone I would recommend absolutely.
Testimonial from Sam P
I was sued by a debt collection agency and was trying to represent myself, after a few weeks sleepless nights and research I was referred to Ian, in only about a few months he was able to settle my case with [censored by Ian due to confidentiality issues].
He won the case for me without me having to do anything. I spent countless days talking to attorney after attorney but no one knows this business like Ian. He knows the correct tactics to handle a case regardless of this complication. Not only is a great attorney but he is a caring and understanding individual.
Thanks IAN!!!!!
Testimonial from BC
Thank you for both the help that you provided to me when I needed it – and for your patience in allowing me to properly pay you in full. At all times, you handled yourself in the most professional manner and it was very gratifying to have the opportunity to work with you. You did an excellent job – and I can say absolutely that no other attorney could have done a better job than you did. Though I hope that I will not need your help for any similar matter as the one that you won, I do hope that our paths will cross again in the near future.
Testimonial from J.A., Los Angeles, CA
Several years ago, I found Ian Chowdhury via the web and hired him to help me with a collection case. That was over 10-15 years ago. He has since helped me with more than one case through the years. One was with a collection agency that lied about properly serving me, when I was not even home or in town! I trust Ian. He knows what he’s doing, and he cares about the 99% of the Peoples who are disenfranchised by a financial system that only looks after itself. Through the years, I have hired him more than once. I have worked in the legal field for more than 20 years, and I personally give him my highest recommendation. – J.A. – Los Angeles, CA.
Testimonial from Allison M., Sherman Oaks, California
Ian was heaven sent. I was served with court papers from sleazy Midland Funding and didn’t know where or who to turn to. It was Ian who actually prompted me first that I was about to be sued and I could not believe it. I have never heard or received anything from a collection company nor did I owe this debt they were accusing me of.
Ian spoke with me several times and put my mind at ease and we counter sued. The day of the trial, Midland drop their case but Ian continued with the counterclaim against Midland and we WON!
They were suing me for $950.00 and we won over $3000.00 !!! plus Ian got his fees back from them too. (After being refunded when Midland paid us, I ended up paying nothing out of pocket.)
Hopefully I will never be put in this position again but if I do… I know who to call.
Thanks a million Ian !!
