Legal Touch Borrower Defense was originally founded by attorney Ryan Duffy, whose expertise in debt collection and defense helped shape the foundation of our services. Ryan Duffy has since been bought out by Aaron Hansome, who is now the sole owner of Legal Touch Borrower Defense.

While our services and information are grounded in legal insight, Legal Touch Borrower Defense is not a law firm. Engaging with our team does not create an attorney-client relationship, and although we take great care to safeguard client’s identities and privacy, communications may not be protected under attorney-client privilege.

We strive to provide accurate, up-to-date information and helpful guidance; however, our insights should not be interpreted as formal legal advice. By using our website and services, you acknowledge and accept these terms and the limitations of our legal role.
