Founded in 2003 by Patrick C. Burpee, the Law Office of Patrick C. Burpee, LLC is a small yet dynamic law firm in Seattle, Washington that represents clients with various fair debt collection matters in Washington. Through hard work, creativity and diligence, we obtain successful results at cost-effective rates, based on either time spent or an agreed percentage of the amount recovered.

The firm’s clientele includes consumers who have been harmed by Washington businesses, such as collection agencies, debt buyers, employers, banks, credit reporting companies, and contractors. Many of our consumer clients’ claims result form violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Washington Collection Agency Act, the Washington Consumer Protection Act, the Washington Minimum Wage Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Damages for violations of these laws often include actual and punitive damages, depending on the type, severity and frequency of the violation.

The firm also represents creditors inside and outside the State of Washington with fair debt collection matters. In the course of representing creditors, the firm helps to minimize the legal exposure that exists for violations of the various state and federal debt collection laws governing them, while at the same time striving to maximize their recoveries. The firm often assists foreign creditors with the domestication of judgments in Washington.

The Law Office of Patrick C. Burpee, LLC is not a “credit repair” firm and cautions consumers to be wary of companies that claim they can improve credit scores. Most credit repair companies are simply scammers and may actually damage credit scores. The firm pursues and defends its cases in both Washington State and federal courts. At times, as a choice of last resort, the Firm assists consumers with filing for bankruptcy under the Federal Bankruptcy Laws. As such, the firm is considered a federally designated debt relief agency.
