    Depends on which state you are in.

    If a law firm is threatening criminal prosecution to coerce payment of a debt this may be an ethical violation, exposing the attorney to professional discipline such as disbarrment. Check with the bar association in your state.

    Hello s:

    You need to know the LAW on the subject. It's real simple, and not very long.. It's called the "Fair Debt Collection Practices Act". READ it. When you KNOW what your rights are, you'll be able to DEAL with these crooks.
