Question:
Dear Steve,
In debt and I’m with a debt consolidation company know. Mediator Law Group
What is debt validation? Is this a smart way to work on debt? Most of the debt is an unsecured bank loan along with credit card debt. The bank loan is for 38 thousand dollars. Is it unrealistic to think debt validation could eliminate this debt?

Answer:
Dear Mark,
Thank you for your question.
I’ve actually been sitting here for some time pondering how to best answer your question.
You mention you are in a debt validation program while the Mediator Law Group seems to only focus on debt settlement on their website. At least in the FAQ section. So I’m not certain you may be in a debt settlement solution rather than a debt validation approach.
That same FAQ page raised an interesting question for me. It says, “Mediator Law Group is an established law firm with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and is regulated by the State Bar.”
Who is Mediator Law Group?
Mediator Law Group says they are located at 20700 Ventura Blvd #300, Woodland Hills, CA 91364.
According to the State of California the CEO of Mediator Law Group, PC is Orit Moskalensky. – Source
Since it appears a California licensed attorney is behind Mediator Law Group they would be subject to the State Bar of California code of conduct for advertising. It was my understanding that in California the website must identify at least one attorney responsible for it. – Source
He is an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California.
I’m not sure what state you live in but you’d have to ask Mediator Law Group who the attorney is in your state that is legally representing you.
After spending time on the Mediator Law Group site it appears to be focused on debt settlement, bankruptcy, and family law. – Source
But unless I missed it, I could not find anything on debt validation on their site.
So I’m left wondering if they did sell you a debt validation or a debt settlement solution.
Can you confirm you purchased a debt validation or debt settlement service? Please post your answer in the comments below.

Hello Mark, my name is Orit Moskalensky and I am the President of the Mediator Law Group. I too am a fan of Steve Rhode and getoutofdebt.org. Mr. Rhode was correct, Mediator Law Group does not offer debt validation or debt consolidation. We assist clients that need debt settlement and when creditors do commit FDCPA violations, we can handle those claims as well.
Sincerely,
Orit Moskalensky
Thank you, Mr. Moskalensky for taking the time to comment and add some clarity to a confusing reader question.

This may be helpful for you to know. I have visited the Mediator Law Group offices and have met with the attorneys and the staff. They are an incredible group of people that seem very concerned about excellence in each area of their business. I would contact them to ask questions about the process and service details. I am a 20 year compliance veteran in the debt relief and general consumer hardship space. I run an organization called OCCAM, (www.occamalliance.org), and are considering one of their senior staff for an Advisory Board position in our organization. I say this to let you know that you are working with a good group of people that likely can assist you in your debt settlement journey in an honest way. If you call them, and ask for Arash (executive staff), tell him Matt Hearn and Steve Rhode said to call and get your questions answered. It is VERY difficult to know who to trust in this industry, and I know all too well your plight. If this helps you make a quality decision, I’m glad I could help put light on this company. If you are ever in need of assistance in resolving issues with a debt relief provider, we can assist you as your consumer advocate to get resolution.
Great feedback. Thanks.
