What should I know about hiring a debt lawyer?
I’m trying to hire a lawyer for person A, who recently received a Show Cause Order - Revival of Judgement for an old private student loan that they co-signed for.
Person B (original creditor) is afraid to reach out to the court or creditor as they believe the statute of limitations has expired.
I’m willing to hire a lawyer to help sort this out for them. What should I know ahead of time and how much should I expect to spend? Original loan amount was about $15,000 20 years ago, and last I heard collections wants about $30k now.
