Financial & Debt Defense

Financial & Debt Defense Litigation in Maryland

Strategic Advocacy to Stop Predatory Lenders, Dismiss Debt Lawsuits, and Protect Your Assets.

Defending Your Financial Future Against Aggressive Creditors

In Maryland, debt buyers and predatory lenders rely on one thing: that you won’t fight back. At Ben Akech Law, we level the playing field. Whether you are facing a high-interest Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) crisis or a lawsuit from a third-party debt buyer, we provide the sophisticated litigation strategies necessary to protect your business and your household.

OUR LEGAL SOLUTIONS

If you’ve been served with a summons from Midland Credit Management, Portfolio Recovery, or a major bank, do not ignore it. We challenge the “chain of title,” demand strict proof of debt, and work to get cases dismissed or settled for a fraction of the original claim.

MCAs can paralyze a business with daily withdrawals and aggressive “Confessions of Judgment.” We help Maryland business owners challenge these high-interest agreements, stop illegal collection tactics, and restructure obligations to keep your doors open.

Judgment Defense & Asset Protection

A court judgment is not the end of the road. We move quickly to vacate default judgments, quash illegal wage garnishments, and release bank levies to protect your hard-earned assets and business revenue.

I wanted to take the time to recognize Attorney Ben Akech for the outstanding work he did on my case. Attorney Akech was professional, thorough, responsive, and consistently available whenever I had questions or concerns. What stood out most was his reliability. When he says he’s going to get something back to you, he follows through. His communication, attention to detail, knowledge of the law and dedication made a stressful process much easier to navigate. I truly appreciate his hard work and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dependable and effective attorney. Thank you, sir!

Ben Akech is a great lawyer! He advised me on a claim against a landlord who did not fulfill the terms of the rental contract and obtained a full refund. Ben was very professional, a good listener and always focused on my best interest.

Q: Can I really win a debt lawsuit in Maryland?

A: Yes. Many debt buyers lack the proper documentation to prove the debt in a Maryland courtroom. By filing a Notice of Intention to Defend and demanding strict proof, we often secure dismissals.

A: It is a legal requirement that MCAs adjust their withdrawals based on your actual sales. If they refuse to reconcile, the contract may be considered an illegal, usurious loan.

A: Absolutely. We can move to vacate judgments or negotiate settlements that immediately halt garnishments and bank levies.
