The Harold Shepley Story – A Lawyer Who Truly Understands
A Message from Attorney Harold Shepley:
I know how you feel because I have been there. I have been through the gambit of emotions just like you are going through. I also know that sometimes realizing you are not alone can make all the difference. I too have found myself between jobs and barely able to put food on the table. Without the income needed to repay all of my obligations, I began to fall behind, as many of you have.
I have undergone the relentless harassment from bill collectors calling day and night. It’s degrading, depressing, and paralyzing. I wanted to pay my bills. I did not want to fall behind or have to file bankruptcy. I did not know where to turn or what to do. I ended up doing what most people do; I buried my head in the sand and pretended this problem did not exist.
Then the unthinkable happened, I GOT SUED!
All of my neighbors watched as the sheriff pulled up to my house to deliver the legal papers. I knew I owed the debt, so I did not fight the lawsuit. A judgment was entered and I began to think the worst was over, it wasn’t. The sheriff came again to inventory my family’s belongings. He placed a levy on my possessions. Practically everything I owned was going to be sold at a Sheriffs’ Sale. Now the true horror set in and my mind began to spin. What if they take the stove and refrigerator? Where will my family sleep if they take our beds? Will they sell the kids’ toys? How will we survive?
The time for action was forced upon me and I did what many people do, I called the cheapest bankruptcy attorney I could find. I got exactly what I paid for. Through my bankruptcy, my attorney went from short and abrasive to downright rude and arrogant. He rarely answered my questions, if he bothered to return my calls at all. Our occasional discussions always left us feeling berated and ignored. The entirety of my experience left me totally demoralized and without hope.
Through this experience I constantly asked the Lord, “Why me, God. Why do I have to endure this pain?” One day He answered my prayer and showed me why. I went through all of that so that others would not have to endure the same pain and frustration that I did.
From that experience, I gained a deep-seated passion for people who are in financial distress. I know that bad things happen to good people all the time. I have now dedicated my law practice and my life to rescue people who are on the brink of financial ruin, all being done with a heart of compassion and understanding. If you are in a place similar to where I was and need help, please call my law firm. We work every day to ensure that good people do not have to endure anymore hardship. There are options, there is hope.
