Credit Card Settlement Lawyer in Plantation, FL
Legally Reduce What You Owe — Without Bankruptcy
Struggling with overwhelming credit card debt? You’re not alone — and you’re not out of options. At Segaul Law Firm, we help individuals and families in Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, and throughout South Florida resolve unmanageable balances through strategic, attorney-led credit card settlement — often for a fraction of what’s owed.
With over 25 years of experience, we use proven legal negotiation tactics to lower your debt, protect your rights, and help you avoid bankruptcy — so you can regain financial stability and peace of mind.
What Is Credit Card Settlement?
Credit card settlement is the process of negotiating with your creditors to accept less than the full amount owed in exchange for resolving the debt. This can be done through:
- A lump-sum payment (e.g., settling a $12,000 balance for $5,000)
- A structured settlement agreement with lower monthly payments and no further interest
- A combination approach across multiple accounts
Unlike credit counseling services or national debt settlement companies, we offer attorney-backed representation, which means your negotiations are respected, your documents are enforceable, and your rights are protected under the law.
When Is Credit Card Settlement a Smart Option?
You may benefit from credit card settlement if:
- You’re behind on payments or facing default
- You’re receiving collection letters or legal threats
- Your balance keeps growing due to interest and penalties
- You have some funds available for partial repayment
- You want to avoid bankruptcy and stop creditor harassment
We help you evaluate your options and design a settlement strategy that meets your financial and legal needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I settle credit card debt even if it’s in collections?
Yes — in fact, creditors are often more willing to settle after default or charge-off. We regularly settle accounts in collections.
Q: Will settling my credit card debt hurt my credit score?
Settlement can affect your score, but typically less than ongoing default or bankruptcy. And we guide you through rebuilding afterward.
Q: Can a credit card company sue me while we’re negotiating?
They can — but having legal representation significantly reduces that risk and allows us to respond quickly if needed.
Q: Do I need a lump sum to settle?
Not always. We also negotiate structured payment settlements when lump-sum funds aren’t available.
