Why Choose The Debt Settlement Companies

Good question simple answer. To wit: Why select the student when you can have the MENTOR-TEACHER?
The simple truth is that in 1989 when David Fishman, JD. then semi retired from the practice of law, decided to open an office to handle debt negotiations for the many people who were being referred to him by his legal peers and Judges who knew of his expertise in debt, he effectively launched an industry.

While negotiating debt is nothing new (people have been negotiating reductions in what they owe to others since the dawn of time), having a third party handle the negotiations from the standpoint of being a debt professional and expert was new as was doing it outside the purview of the law office. If a third party is not required to be a member of a bar to represent a creditor and collect money, why then could not there be a third party expert to represent the debtor and to negotiate the debtors economic position with the creditor and the world of creditor agents?

Thus was born the formalized third party debt expert debt negotiator whose job it is to level the playing field and give the debtor an even break. In addition, it could be easily argued that in representing debtors to negotiate settlements of what they owe was in fact one of the earliest forms of what the American Bar Association calls ADR or Alternative Dispute Resolution.

From that humble beginning, literally hundreds of competitor clones have come into existence following the The Debt Settlement Companies lead and the Fishman methodology. The Debt Settlement Companies Inc. is and remains THE innovative leader in the development and growth of this industry and in the constant day to day practice of ADR.

Today, David M. Fishman, JD Plenipotentiary, is not only the Nation's leading PRO-ACTIVE PROFESSIONAL DEBT NEGOTIATOR, a CERTIFIED DEBT MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL, a trained and skilled ARBITRATOR but Mr. Fishman has over 100 hours of certified training in the growing field of dispute MEDIATION, yet another form of ADR where acting as a Neutral, he helps people and businesses find common ground to facilitate their own dispute settlements.
