Oakview Law Group has been exceptionally kind and patient has relieved me so much of the stress that has to do with Collection companies. The company has helped tremendously in settling debt but also stopped annoying phone calls to my house. They have all been kind and professional. They have always maintain a good relation with me and I can always trust them. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is in need of help settling debt issues. They are the greatest!

We are extremely pleased with Oak View Law Group. They helped us beyond what we could have imagined. Sandra was wonderful. She did all of our negotiating with our creditors and was very aggressive. We could not have done any of this on our own. She assured us constantly and we were able to see all of the progress online at any time. They handled everything for us from beginning to end. We highly recommend Oak View Law Group. Thank you Sandra.

The first time I started taking out loans, I thought I could handle it, but I soon found-out that I could not. I was falling behind in debt, and there was no relief, until I was contacted by Shaun from Oak view Law. Then, I could begin to manage my money better with only one payment instead of so many all at once, and that made a big difference in my life. Thanks Shaun and Oak View Law for all your help, you all have been most helpful all time!
Sincerely,
Cynthia Fadness

I am very happy with ovlg. I have been in the program for eight months and have settled four accounts and working on the fifth. I recommend this program to anyone who needs to get out of debt. They have answered every question I had by phone or e-mails.

For the most part I was very satisfied with the help that OVLG gave me. I did feel a little mislead at first, and all of the information was not properly given to me, and I was not able to resolve some of the debt the way I had wanted to. Both Pattie and Richard were pleasant to work with and always helpful at answering all of my questions and resolving my problems. I would recommend this program to others.

I contacted Oak View Law Group on May 10, 2010 after trying to deal with overwhelming payday loan issues, and they replied immediately. I can honestly say, my experience with them has been wonderful thus far. The customer service has been outstanding and the staff prompt to assist me and very patient. I spoke with Peter Simon who has been kindly “holding my hand” through this difficult decision. I’m glad I took this first step and that it was with the Oak View Law Group. If you find yourself in debt difficulties PLEASE contact them, at least to get a perspective on what your options are. I look forward to working with them to get myself back on the right track and off the debt roller coaster. Thanks OVLG!

Richard Smith of Oak View Law Group was very helpful in getting my accounts in order and trying to help me get them paid off.. How ever after speaking with my attorney it was decided that I need ed to go in a different direction. Richard Smith was very understanding about this matter and I am thankful for his kindness and wish him well.

I am so pleased with the progress I am making with Rebecca’s guidance at Oak View Law Group. Going through this crisis with the professional help of this firm has given me hope and faith that everything can be worked out in the end. Rebecca responds to my emails daily and I totally trust her advice. I only regret that I waited so long in getting help!!

I was in a lot of debt due to divorce and not receiving any child support. I had a lot of payday loans and did not know what I could do to get myself out of this mess. I looked up debt relief and found Oak View Law Group, I read all of their reviews and decided to give them a call. I spoke with Van and Richard ans they were extremely helpful in explaining how the process works. I decided to sign up with them and my creditors have already been notified, I have been with them for only a week. The monthly payment plan is easy to manage and I look forward to getting out of debt in a shorter period of time. Richard Smith has been wonderful to work with, he always returns my emails and calls promptly and is extremely professional, he makes me feel better about my situation and I feel like I have a partner in this process. I would recommend Oak View Law Group to anyone in debt that needs help.

I start with ovlg thought it was a scam but it was not. They help you out, they set up a payment schedule very flexible so you can get out of debt. The best feeling in the world is when ever you get the letter from the creditor saying that they have settle your debt, and you don’t have to pay any more.

I was in debt for more than 3 years and i felt like i could never get out of it. i went online and did some research on debt relief groups. When i came across ovlg i was drawn to it because it had the BBB accredited sign. I signed up for it and with the help of their agents like Richard, who has been on tremendous help, I can see my debts going down. I would recommend them to anyone.

Hello,
I would like to share my own personal experience with Oakview Law Group (OLG) over the past couple months. It’s an honest assessment of what has transpired so others can benefit from my situation. I just think it’s important people are armed with some real knowledge about this process, considering the serious nature of what they are trying to accomplish.
- OLG has received the first two months of their initial start up fee’s, and I was relieved to see they sent out documentation to all my creditors once they received their first initial payment. Off to a good start.
- Creditors will continue to contact you even when OLG has sent documentation to them. Please don’t be under the illusion they will stop contacting you until a settlement has been reached. I don’t know about you but I plan on being involved in the final negotiating language.
- Von is my main contact with OLG and I’ve sent him periodic correspondences to check on my account, but also to send him updated information from my creditors as well. However, I have not received any responses back from Von over the past couple weeks, which has really caused some concerns for me. I’m in a precarious situation with my creditors like many of you, and I do take this process very seriously, especially when you take into consideration the legal risks and associated costs involved here.
- My concerns with Von and OLG is if they are really taking care of business at this point, because we’re 60 days into the process and I’m 90 to 120 days out with my creditors. I feel I’m at the proverbial fork in the road…do I stay the course with OLG, legit or not legit, or do I pick up the ball and run with it myself? Hope is not a good business plan, so I’m going to give Von at least another week to ease my concerns.
- Please Note: I’m under the impression Von works out of the Indian call center, so I’m really not sure where the American lawyers come into play, regardless. This is the reality of my own experience with OLG up to this point.
- I’ve recently noticed OLG’s BBB rating has slipped from an A- to a BB+. I’m not trying to sound off the alarm bells, but it is a valid concern nonetheless. There are a lot of shady debt settlement companies out there, and I’m sure many of you hired OLG because of their excellent BBB rating. I will continue to monitor this situation moving forward.
- I will follow up with another post within the next couple weeks about my status, because the purposes of my post was to inform everyone of my experience. I just think it’s important people are armed with some real knowledge about this process, considering the serious nature of what they are trying to accomplish. We all want to avoid becoming victims and compounding our situation by not knowing all the facts.

Hello Let me start out by saying I selected this firm because of the BBB rating that they received. I went through all the documents that they supplied to me, signed up with OLVG. I did mention to Austin that I was not able to pay all at once. He advised me that I could split my 1st payment in 2. To date that first payment has not yet been debited. I did speak with Austin and he assured me that the payment would be taken out and that once the first payment is made the letter for limited power of attorney would be sent. Well, I have not heard back from Austin to date. Time is of the essence to me for my payday loan nightmare. I did call the main number and spoke with Shannon (Indian Call Center) and he advised me that I should speak with Austin and to call back in 15 to 20 minutes. At that time I told Shannon, that I don’t think I want to work with OLVG, because Austin does not call back, no once responds to my e-mails, and who is Priscilla? I see her name on the website and I guess she has something to do with my case. I did speak to her and she sounded like I was bothering her with my questions. I did receive an email that she forwarded to me, meant for Austin. It sounded to me like Austin handled this case, because it’s not my job at this point in time. I, too, will give them one more week to straighten out my case or I am cancelling my service with them. Will keep you up to date with my account.

Hello,
I posted my original review back on 7/3/10 of Oakview Law Group and much has changed since then. I can honestly say now Oakview Law Group is indeed legit. Von Griffen has been really great to work with. My concerns have been erased. We may have had a few communications issues before, but we are definitely on the same page now. It’s a great feeling!
Von just settled one of my accounts for 30% and he is in the process of finalizing another one for about 40%. I can’t thank him enough for all his efforts. He has exceeded my expectations. What a relief to have a couple of these behind me now. I still have five more to go, but at least it’s a couple steps in the right direction.
I will provide updated information as Von and I continue our journey of knocking one off at a time. I would love to take care of the remaining five, but my budget has limitations like everyone else.
I hope this helps ease some of your concerns out there, and I wish you all the best of luck. Please do not hesitate to hire Oakview Law Group to settle your outstanding credit card debt.
