When digging into specific reviews, one individual mentioned that they continued to get charged past the 4 year mark, and all his accounts were not charged.
One reviewer mentioned that they enrolled $42,419 in debt paid $43,544.71, which is more debt than they actually enrolled in the program. She mentioned that Whitestone claimed that some creditors were more aggressive than others, but a debt relief company may already know which creditors are aggressive and which are not aggressive BEFORE they enroll an individual into the program.

On TrustPilot, Whitestone Legal Group maintains a 2.8 rating based on 172 reviews. What stood out to me for the first review was that the individual alleges that she had settled an account, and that the company failed to make the 2 final payments, meaning that the account had to be re-settled.
