While Pressler & Pressler is a law-firm, in reality they act more like a glorified debt collection agency using the courts as a debt collection tool. Once a judgment is obtained, law-firm debt collectors like Pressler & Pressler can freeze bank accounts, garnishee wages and issue subpoenas.
Law-firm debt collectors like Pressler & Pressler 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.
Pressler & Pressler and many of its debt buyer clients are sued regularly by consumers for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The FDCPA is a federal law that regulates the collection of consumer debts.
