Result:

M.J. discharged all of her credit card debt and IRS back taxes in her Chapter 7 and adversarial proceeding.

M.J. had over $85,000 in unsecured debt and $10,000 in back taxes. The IRS argued the tax return was not timely filed. We proved to the court that it was.

-In re: M.J.

Result:

Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child Under 14 Y/O:Case dismissed.

B.D.R.’s wife filed for divorce and kidnapped the children. Her daughter made a false allegation that he molested her so that she and her mom could move out of county with mom’s new sugar daddy. Quinton got the charges DISMISSED and got B.D.R. his innocent boy back.

B.D.R.

Result:

Nearly $200,000 saved in less than 4 months.

This family owed $160,000 in unsecured debt and $16,000 on their car at around 20% interest. We filed a Motion to Redeem and they paid only $8,000 for their car, which saved them over $10,000 over the life of the loan. Unsecured all discharged.

In re: J.J. & J.C.

Result:

40 FBI Conspiracy & Texas Engaged in Organized Crime Cases: All dismissed.

Aggressive FBI and State of Texas investigations were conducted for several years on K.D.T. for her integral involvement in a $40 million mortgage fraud scheme. The kingpin was a Hall of Fame NFL linebacker. Convinced that she was going to spend the rest of her life in prison, she turned to the Pelley defense team for help. Despite being caught red-handed and confessing to the authorities, Quinton walked her on all her federal and state cases.

– K.D.T.

Result:

Although this family of 3 failed the first half of the Means Test, our attorneys convinced the U.S. Trustee that they were eligible to file a Chapter 7. In short, hiring our trial lawyers saved them tens of thousands of dollars.

This family met with several debt relief agencies before meeting with Mr. Pelley. Every agency told them that they made too much money to file Chapter 7. Thus, the fees for a Ch. 13 would be at least double, if not triple, what we charged them for a Ch. 7 to discharge ALL their credit card debt.

– R.G. & S.G.

Result:

Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child Under 14 Y/O: Case dismissed after rejecting the D.A.’s final offer of 40 Years in prison.

T.A.H. was facing life after being indicted for repeatedly raping his pre-teen daughter. Prior to hiring our sexual assault defense team, his bond was revoked for going to a gas station near a middle school and he spent months in jail on a “no-bond” awaiting trial. Several lawyers refused to take his case. His family came to us. Quinton got his case DISMISSED.

– T.A.H.

Result:

We filed Ch. 7 for them both personally and for their business. They discharged nearly three million dollars in business and personal debt and got a fresh financial start.

This family owned a company that supplied medical equipment. Much of their business involved clients on Medicaid. When Medicaid put a moratorium on payments to providers in the area, their well-established business quickly fell apart.

In re: W.L. & P.L.

Result:

Assault on a Peace Officer-Habitual Offender x 4: (each carrying a minimum 25 years in TDCJ). All 4 cases dismissed.

C.S. was up four 25-LIFE creeks and the Pelley defense team was his only paddle. He had two prior pen trips and was arrested after 2 a.m. outside of a shady lake bar drunk and accused of beating up 4 cops. 6’2″ and 240lbs with a lengthy violent criminal history, his outlook seemed grim. His family hired us immediately. Quinton got all 4 cases DISMISSED within 2 months.

C.S.

Result:

Thanks to our knowledge of an obscure exception to the Means Test, these clients were able to discharge all of their unsecured debts in a quick Ch. 7.

The J’s had a tremendous amount of credit card debt. However, because of their income they failed the first half of the two-part Means Test. Nevertheless, we proved to the U.S. attorney that they qualified for an exception to the B22 income requirement as disabled veterans.

In re: A.J. & J.J.

Result:

Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child Under 14 Y/O: Case dismissed.

D.J.K. was jailed and bond was set at $200,000. The family hired us. First, Quinton got the bond reduced to an astonishing $500. After springing D.J.K., Quinton got his 1ST degree case DISMISSED in 2 weeks.

D.J.K.

Result:

Mr. Pelley convinced the U.S. Trustee that this couple qualified for a Ch. 7 case despite making nearly double what the IRS’s guidelines say is typical for a family of two.

This couple had over $270,000 of debt from an extended illness. Richard got it all discharged.

In re: W.M. & R.M.

Result:

1st Degree Aggravated Assault Family Violence – Deadly Weapon: Dismissed.

J.E.

Result:

We put C.B.’s ex-husband in his place and got her back on her feet.

This divorced single mother was left with a mortgage she could not afford. Her ex-husband took the mortgage payment out of her alimony every month, leaving her without enough money to buy food or gas. We filed her Chapter 7 case, discharged all of her debt (including the huge abandoned house mortgage) and helped her receive the full alimony payments.

In re: C.B.

Result:

Sexual Assault: Dismissed Without Indictment.

D.D. had a crazy co-worker who said he sexually assaulted her at work. Facing 20 years and a lifetime of registration as a sex offender, he sought our counsel. Within weeks of hiring the Pelley sexual assault defense team, Quinton ended his nightmare and got his kids, wife, life, and job back.

Assault-Family Violence: The Barbie and Ken Divorce. Quinton got “Ken’s” charges dismissed and prevented “Barbie” from stealing his kids.

This affluent and very attractive couple had a toxic relationship. On more than one night, “Barbie” called the police and falsely accused “Ken” of assaulting her. “Ken” hired a divorce lawyer who for months advised “Ken” to plead the assault case out and go on probation. Had “Ken” taken that horrible advice, it would have deprived him full access to his children and subjected him to substantial alimony obligations. “Ken” fired that lawyer and hired the Pelley defense team. Quinton convinced the State to unconditionally DISMISS his case in one single court appearance.

– B.P.

Result:

R.B. saved his car, eliminated his ridiculous auto loan rate and discharged his credit card debts.

Result:

B.H. was a trained killing machine that proudly served in the U.S. Marines. At trial, the State’s victim testified that our client beat him to a bloody pulp and video evidence at trial showed him transported to the ER via ambulance on life support. He also admitted to agreeing to the fight and after Quinton explained the “mutual combat” defense to the jury, they acquitted B.H.

J.J. & J.J. were indicted on 1ST Degree Aggravated Robbery charges in Jasper, TX. The “J.J. brothers” and their friends were indicted for using semi-automatic machine guns, a Draco, and two 9mm glocks to rob both victims at gunpoint-forcing one to strip naked. Facing life in prison, the family hired Quinton to defend the J.J.s even though Mr. Pelley was over 220 miles away. They chose wisely. Quinton got both brothers’ Aggravated Robbery cases DISMISSED.

S.M.

Result:

D.H. saved a lot of money on her car through the Chapter 13 bankruptcy because she was able to buy it for the amount it was actually worth, rather than the amount she owed at 4% interest. Plus, she put a permanent end to her payday loans and credit card debt.

D.H.’s car was up for repossession. She also had multiple payday loans that were draining her bank account. We filed her Ch. 13, stopped the repossession and all collections/garnishments from the payday loans.

F.W. was a target of the FBI.

This resilient couple had $160,000 in medical debt and a rental house they could neither sell nor afford to maintain. Right before we were going to file, Mrs. H’s cancer came back.
