Heidi Mock
Registered Nurse
"When I received a random bill for over $2,000 from a national company, their collection agency demanded that I pay them even though I did not owe the debt. They couldn't even tell me what it was for but demanded payment. I retained Richard to stop the harassment and he did just that. I highly recommend Richard for your collection case."
