Based in central Florida in historic downtown Plant City, near Tampa, the Heritage Law Group shares the same time-honored values of our historic Florida community- trust, integrity, and a commitment to helping and serving others. Those same values have been at the core of our approach to successfully representing thousands of clients throughout the state of Florida for almost three decades.

“We see the practice of law as more than a profession.  At the Heritage Law Group, we see it as a calling.  A calling founded on seeking justice in protecting and preserving the rights of others who are unable to otherwise protect themselves.”  
M. Joseph Dickerson, Attorney and Founder of the Heritage Law Group

Our approach to the practice of law has resulted in providing protection and relief to thousands of Florida residents facing debt collection lawsuits. Our extensive experience as litigators in both state and federal courts for almost 30 years, and our desire to help others who are otherwise unable to defend themselves, has driven our goal of becoming a leader in the area of debt collection defense in the state of Florida. We offer statewide experience, a track record of proven results, and provide representation to individuals and families facing debt collection lawsuits, with either no fees or costs from you, or, in other certain types of cases, with no fees or costs from you, unless we win your case

Since beginning our practice in 1994, M. Joseph Dickerson, the lead litigation attorney at the Heritage Law Group, had a vision to develop a law firm dedicated to seeking justice and protecting and preserving the rights of others.  As a litigator in state and federal courts in the complex areas of business and civil litigation, Mr. Dickerson leveraged his extensive experience to focus the practice of the Heritage Law Group on helping individuals and families facing debt collection lawsuits filed by creditors, debt collectors and debt buyers. Mr. Dickerson discovered that many debt collection cases were being improperly filed, were filed without adequate evidence, or were filed in violation of various state and federal consumer protection laws.  Mr. Dickerson saw a need to help individuals and families protect themselves from often overreaching and unlawful debt collection lawsuits. Built upon our core values of trust, integrity and protecting the rights of others who are otherwise unable to defend themselves, the Heritage Law Group and Mr. Dickerson have been dedicated to defending Florida residents against debt collection lawsuits filed by debt collectors and debt buyers for over 25 years. The Heritage Law Group has successfully defended thousands of debt collection lawsuits throughout the state of Florida, resulting in the dismissal of thousands of debt collection lawsuits filed against Floridians, and eliminating millions of dollars of debt.  The extensive experience we now offer our clients allows us to continue that record of success in defending Florida residents against debt collection lawsuits throughout the state of Florida, and, when appropriate, bringing claims against creditors, debt collectors and debt buyers for various violations of the state and federal consumer protection laws.
