HOW THE WOODS LAW FIRM, LLC CAN ASSIST

The Woods Law Firm, LLC has over a decade of experience representing clients who have been sued by American Express.  We offer affordable, flat fee representation. 

If you have been served with a Summons from American Express and the case has not yet been filed, we are often in a position to negotiate a very favorable settlement, typically for a percentage of the balance owed.  

In the event that American Express has already filed its case, there are several pleadings that we will file to prevent the case from proceeding to Judgment.  Usually, we will file an Appearance in your case.  This filing accomplishes two objectives: it prevents American Express from obtaining a default against you for failure to appear.  It, additionally, prevents American Express or its lawyers from contacting you because the Appearance signifies that you are represented by counsel.  Approximately thirty days after filing the Appearance we will file an Answer in the case.  These pleadings afford time in which to decide how best to resolve the case.
