While Selip & Stylianou, LLP is a law-firm, in reality they are more like a glorified collection agency able to use the courts as a debt collection tool.  Once a judgment is obtained, law-firm debt collectors like Selip & Stylianou, LLP can freeze bank accounts, garnishee wages and issue subpoenas.

Law-firm debt collectors like Selip & Stylianou employ few attorneys but many debt collection agents.  In fact, if you call them, you will not speak with an attorney, you will speak with a debt collection agent who is probably being paid a commission for any money he or she collects from you.

Selip & Stylianou, LLP and many of its debt buyer clients are notorious violators of federal debt collection laws known as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and are sued regularly by consumers for these violations.  The FDCPA is a federal law that regulates the collection of consumer debts. It precludes third party debt collectors from using false, misleading, deceptive and harassing debt collection tactics.

Over the years Selip & Stylianou, LLP (when it called itself Cohen & Slamowitz) had been on the receiving end of countless FDCPA lawsuits, Attorneys General lawsuits, regulatory and governmental actions.
