When you are facing a lawsuit from a debt buyer or enduring relentless creditor harassment, you need an attorney who knows exactly how the collection industry operates. Christopher J. Diwan is the founder of Diwan Law. Today, he dedicates his practice exclusively to consumer rights, debt collection defense, and judgment collection defense. But what makes Christopher uniquely equipped to handle your case is his background: he used to work for the other side.
Insider Knowledge: He Knows the Debt Collector’s Playbook Because he spent years representing large creditors and collection agencies, Christopher knows exactly where these companies make mistakes. He understands how they process files, the evidentiary shortcuts they try to take, and the legal loopholes they exploit. Today, he uses this invaluable insider knowledge to dismantle their lawsuits, negotiate highly favorable debt settlements, and protect his clients’ financial futures.
He has successfully litigated numerous complex claims in both Federal and State Courts. Christopher aggressively pursues debt collectors who violate federal consumer protection laws, holding them accountable under the:
• Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA)
• Georgia Fair Business Practices Act (GFBPA)
• Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
Outside the Courtroom Aside from his professional pursuits, Christopher believes in maintaining a strong work-life balance. He enjoys staying physically active through CrossFit, hiking the beautiful trails of Georgia, and spending time with his Westie dog, Marshmallow. He also remains dedicated to his local community by volunteering for a number of charitable organizations in the Atlanta area.
