HistoryAidan W. Butler is a member of the National Association of Consumer Advocates and the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, and is admitted to practice in all four California federal districts, as well as the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He has offices in Los Angeles and in Oxnard.SpecialtiesMr. Butler zealously represents consumers with claims against abusive debt collectors,debt buyers, predatory lenders, and companies that blemish consumers' credit unfairly. The pro-Wall Street kleptocrats that hijacked our democracy serve only financial institutions, which in turn exert enormous influence over legislators, slanting laws in their favor. But a few laws exist that actually protect consumers from the oppression and greed of powerful financial corporations -- such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and fair debt collection laws. Butler files civil suits utilizing those laws. The banks that the American people involuntarily bailed out with their tax dollars (remember TARP?) return the favor by preying upon the most needy consumers. Much of Mr. Butler's practice consists of defending consumers against collection lawsuits by credit card companies and student loan companies. Butler also helps consumers get a fresh start through bankruptcy.
