Agathe Wexler
Consumer attorney
I spent my first years in practice on the other side of the table, reading contracts for a lender. I left to read them for the people who sign.
For several years I drafted and defended the documents consumers sign: loan agreements, arbitration clauses, collection letters. I learned where the important terms go, and how few people ever reach them.
Then I opened this practice on Locust Street to do the same reading for the other side. I take a small number of cases at a time, and I handle each one myself, from the first letter to the last page of the settlement.
I grew up in Dutchtown, and most of my clients live within a short drive of where I did. Outside work I volunteer at a free legal clinic and read, mostly the small print on cereal boxes.
Cases I take
- Dealer and auto finance fraud
- Debt-collection defense
- Credit report errors

Why one lawyer
A practice the size of one desk
A large firm can take a hundred consumer cases at once. I decided not to. A small case still deserves the whole contract read, and that takes time no assembly line has.
So you’ll have my direct number, and when you call, you’ll reach the person who has read your file. If your case needs more hands than mine, I’ll say so and help you find them.
