Let’s go through the reviews.
In my opinion, two of the most unbiased, holistic review sites are BBB reviews and complaints and Google reviews. It may tend to be a bit more negative, but it seems to be a source of information.
What I found surprising was that there was a current BBB alert for Harbor Legal Group showing a pattern of complaint. It’s the first time I’ve seen this type of alert.
So, what are the other reviews?
On BBB, Harbor Legal Group currently has a 1/5 rating based on 2 reviews, and a F rating. When I see these types of reviews, I wonder whether someone else is signing people up for Harbor Legal Group, and that Harbor Legal Group is not doing direct marketing.
Both of these reviews mention that Harbor Legal Group does not do their job or hold up to their end of the agreement. One review even mentioned that they paid over $33,000 and the legal group ended up just pocketing $18,000 and the debt was still not paid off.
On Google, Harbor Legal Group has a 1.5 rating based on 24 reviews.
One of the reviews mentioned that Harbor gave him the run around and when he tried to contact them to resolve the situation, he ended up being on hold for over 3 hours. After giving a bad review and making a complaint on BBB, the legal group contacted him to try and make things right. However, after rejoining the program, the exact same thing was done. They did not resolve the accounts.
The other review also says they were on hold for an extended period of time and that Harbor Legal Group did not deliver on their services and made excuses. There is little to no communication and this review actually tells people to stay away from Harbor Legal Group.
Harbor Legal Group appears to be a law firm that is pitching debt settlement. I wouldn’t be surprised if Harbor Legal Group was tied to a much bigger organization as it appears that there are more of these firms that have similarities.
When I look at these companies, I like to understand how old the website is and see any information I can about the company.
What I found interesting is that Wayback machine image of the Harbor Legal Group shows that the website has been around for over 8 years, so it appears that this company has been around for a while.
