Crimson Legal Group Reviews

In my opinion, two of the most unbiased, holistic review sites are BBB reviews and complaints and Google reviews. It may tend to be a bit more negative, but it seems to be a source of information.

So, what are the reviews?

BBB

On BBB, Crimson Legal Group currently has a 2/5 rating based on 11 reviews, and a A- rating. It looks like they have had 7 complaints in the last 3 years and are not BBB Accredited.

One of the reviews mentions that even after paying $299.70 for 28 months on a $10,200 debt. Crimson Legal Group wanted to extend the contract to 6 to 9 months. The review also mentioned that their paperwork was inconsistent and that the legal group would not answer questions directly when questioned about the accounts that had been settled.

Google

On Google, Crimson Legal Group has a 2.9 rating based on 21 reviews.

One of the biggest things I took from the Google reviews is that the top 3 reviewers stated that the legal group seems like a scam and doesn’t actually help their customers. They also noted that the legal group took fees but didn’t work on the case so in turn their credit scores ended up taking a big hit without any action. One individual said that they act great when it comes to potentially hiring them but after you start making payments the legal group never does anything with the case.

In another review, the reviewer mentioned how their credit was destroyed while in the program.

So, What is Crimson Legal?

Crimson Legal Group appears to be a debt relief law firm that is pitching debt settlement. It’s possible that Crimson Legal is potentially part of a network of debt relief law firms based on similarities with other law firms.

When I look at these companies, I like to understand how old the website is and see any information I can about the company via Wayback Machine.

What I found interesting is that Crimson Legal Groups website has been around for 5 years, which is much longer than some other entities that are much newer.

What’s really interesting is that from the Crimson Legal Group home page, it states that this is a law firm. This website is an advertisement. It is not a lawyer referral service or prepaid legal services plan. Each of the lawyers on this site are either Managers, Members, Partners, Limited Partners or staff attorneys. There is information about filing bankruptcy and other options if bankruptcy is not for you. It states that they help people file bankruptcy under the bankruptcy code.

Your Options

If you would like to stay with Crimson Legal Group, you may want to read the Client Services Agreement in its entirety. If they are taking out fees before settlement, why are they doing that? What are they actually doing for you and what’s the percentage fee they charge?

If you’d like to cancel, you may be able to contact them directly, but you may also have to get assistance from your bank if they do not allow you to cancel the program easily.

My family was grappling with the burden of credit card debt. We had explored various avenues, including debt relief companies and consolidation loans, but everything seemed dubious and left us feeling uncertain. That all changed when I came across Ascend and had the opportunity to connect with Justin. He reached out to me on the very same day, and from that point forward, things took a turn for the better.

I provided Justin with an overview of our financial situation, our objectives, and the timeline we hoped to achieve our goals within. He promptly outlined the possible courses of action and presented a thorough breakdown of our various options. What truly stood out was Justin’s approach—he never pressured me into making a quick decision. Instead, he offered me the information and allowed me to ask questions at my own pace.

Upon selecting the path we wanted to pursue, Justin facilitated our connection with a non-profit organization. Much to our delight, they exhibited the same level of courtesy, expertise, and patience that Justin had demonstrated. In retrospect, the entire experience instilled a sense of confidence within us. We now believe we have a solid foundation and are well on our way to achieving financial success!

Ben and his assistant Jeffrey from Ascend Finance did an awesome job helping me to find an attorney who could talk with me openly and honestly about Chapter 13 as an option for my financial situation. Before finding out about Ascend’s bankruptcy calculators, I was stuck on a wheel of countless offers for consolidation loans, but always steered towards debt settlement or debt management plans over and over again due to my credit score and high utilization percentage. Based on data I entered into Ascend’s calculator, Ben and Jeffrey reviewed my situation and quickly connected me with a skillful, experienced bankruptcy attorney. I finally feel like I’m on the best path to being debt free; one that will save me a lot more money than any of the debt settlement or debt management programs that other companies and agencies have offered me… THANKS Ben, Jeffrey and Ascend!!

These guys are truly a beacon for those of us with too much debt. From the start where I found Ben on the YouTube channel Ascend I have been treated as a real person by real people. Even getting a personal call helping me figure things out. I went through one of the lawyers recommended by Ascend and as of January 2nd I am debt discharged, and already have a great credit card from Mission Lane for $2000. Things are getting back into place and my life feels so much less stressful due to the weight of debt being off my shoulders.

PLEASE give these guys a call if you are even considering any sort of debt relief be it bankruptcy, consolidation, or whatever other types of debt relief are out there. I can’t thank the Ascend team enough. (I was not paid to post this, or told to do this. I am genuinely so thankful to have the help when I needed it most♥️)
