Hiring Siam was the worst mistake i could have made in my case. All he wanted was money and did no work. He even forgot to show up to my hearing. I had to call him to remind him my case was going on. He lied and said he was in another courtroom when i clearly heard him driving in his car. He just wants to do the least work possible and never return your call. Do not hire this attorney. Terrible

Stay Away from Siam Joseph! Siam represented me in a landlord dispute case. The case was truly stressful and personal to me. I was never in good hands nor did I ever feel protected. He constantly tried to get me to settled. By settling, the landlord would have gotten away with highway robbery. I had to fight her attorneys and him throughout the course of this case. The judge represented me better than my attorney. The determination went in my favor! He never got me the monies awarded to me, he failed to recover ANY of the fees I was awarded and he had the nerve to lament that he didn't get the fees he should have gotten so I should forget about my fees and move on. He failed to recover hundreds of dollars for me. The filing fees alone were $320.85. I had many items that should have been refunded back. He is lazy, disrespectful and condescending! Hiring him was an awful decision. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Mr. Joseph came to my business establishment and collected money from me to render a service and he never did. He never returned my calls or my emails. He took $2500 and never did any work or us. We are filing a complaint against him with the Florida Bar. Mr. Joseph is not an honest man. I would never hire him or recommend him.

Poor representation, poor knowledge of Florida law, misrepresented his services. Full of it, took money then quit and lost the case.

He started out ok but since he got most of the case done he quit answering my calls or texts or emails. Made many mistakes on the paperwork that I had to have him fix. Just looking to finish everything and not keep it hanging over our family's head.

Ivan took his fee for a demand letter. We texted and called him for updates and never got a reply until we filed a dispute with credit card company for a refund for lack of services. It took filing the dispute and over 30 days from him actually communicating with us. Worst, he would not call when he said he would. I do not recommend this attorney. After dispute, he finally sent proof that a letter was sent (unprofessionally emailed), he had received a response (still did not communicate what the response was!) from letter, trying to incite parties to go to court on issues a competent attorney could have settled out of court, and no acknowledgement concerning any emails/correspondence sent to him from us UNTIL a dispute was filed. Due to the fee, his hourly rate must be about $1500/hour, because there apparently was not time spend on communicating with his clients, much less time taken to prepare quality and thoughtful case to settle issues without an unneccessary, expensive court case! Worst yet, all he had to do was send proof to credit card company that there was a service rendered. Instead he threatened me and if I did not respond in 24 hours, he was having me prosecuted by the state attorney's office! This was day after he sent the proof that a demand letter had actually been sent. The letter that had been emailed 32 days prior with no communication from him concerning any updates. No we do not recommend him.

If I could rate a negative 0 I would. Mr. Casio represented my Ex. In our divorce. He knew my signature was fraudulent in the listing of the sell of my home. Even knowing this he still allowed a fraudulent contract to submitted for the sell of my home. Due to the home being in foreclosure I ended up being forced to agree to the sell. The divorce judge advised that my and my ex husband's proceeds be held for when we return to court.. Well now we can't return to court until Mr. Casio releases the funds. My home sold in May the mortgage has been paid (the only positive thing he has done) and he refuses to provide he information needed to finalize our divorce and release our funds. Again the home sold in May I and my ex husband have called multiple times to no returned calls. To google showing temporary closed then suddenly after I posted my review to Google his business is no longer temporarily closed. GIVE US OUR MONEY & MY DIVORCE MR. CASIO!

Mr. Weller would not do what I asked. I suggested to him to try to convert my chapter 13 to a chapter 7 because of my change in my financial situation. His reply was pretty much that can't happen. I elected to terminate Mr. Weller and go with another lawyer. My new lawyer converted my chapter 13 to a chapter 7 after reviewing my situation and we took care of it in a matter of a couple months. Case closed , I'm happy . Jay Weller needs to try to have a little more compassion for his work ethic and for his customers I won't talk about the price I paid along with his so called monthly monitor fees. Not any monitoring going on that I was aware of.

Jay Weller is VERY unprofessional and unreliable. He stood me up on 2 separate appointments and then when I asked for my deposit back due to the situation, his incompetent staff refused. They did nothing but waste 2 of my Saturday mornings and then kept my hard earned money. I chose another attorney that did an excellent job and was always at the appointments. Jay Weller is not someone that I would choose to represent me in any way shape or form. Don't even bother calling him and call someone that will actually show up to your scheduled appointments.

Albert Rey contracted with my company to complete photography for a property listing he represented as a realtor selling a property. Our services were ordered by Albert Rey, scheduled at the date and time Albert Rey selected. Services completed and delivered on time. After almost one month and the history below of invoices sent we have received ZERO communications from Albert Rey. Very unprofessional that he no ability to reply to any communication and cost my company wasted time and money as a result of his non payment. Attorneys like to bill for every hour of their time and not pay when others time is wasted. Good Luck with this attorney.

Mr. Rey has handled many personal real estate matters for me and my family over the last 15 years. He and his staff have consistently demonstrated their trustworthiness and knowledge. They truly take care in crossing every "T" and dotting every "I" in order to protect their client. They take the same approach whether they are handling a million dollar deal or a thousand dollar deal. We have always been more than satisfied with Mr. Rey's services and I can tell you that my father is NOT easy to please when it comes to lawyer's services!

I had to deal with this title company for a closing (I was the seller). They held $100 from my disbursement to cover for a water bill balance of $2. I sent them the final water statement with a zero balance on Sep. 11 and called the following day only to be told that the lawyer was not in and they could not make any payments until he arrived. I spoke to them again on Sep. 16th and was told that the lawyer was there and that they would send me an e-mail when the wire was done, I received no payment and no wire. I would expect for them to AT LEAST reply to my e-mails but they do not have the decency to do even that. As of today I am still waiting for the wire.

Mr. Wilhelm helped me when no other attorney would. I was consulted by other attorneys that asked in upwards of $7,000. 00 down to do a foreclosure for me. I am 70 plus years old and Mr Wilhelm took the time and patience with me at an affordable price so that I could defend myself. He is caring and patient. I will recommend him to anyone who needs legal help!! Great attorney that goes over and above and I am so thankful to have found him!

In short he is a vulture that apparently likes to take people's money when they are/were already struggling. He apparently thinks he is someone special in that he can judge them for being in default when most people do not just stop paying on a house they have paid a note on for more than 12 years unless there is a reason. I have medical issues that caused our default and after trying to work with the mortgage company we had no choice but to hire an attorney.
He was recommended by the service officer serving our forclosure notice. I am convinced he pays him to recommend him since he stated he was the "only one that could help us" because all of the "other attorneys are working with the mortgage companies". There is no communication, he does exactly as all of the other reviews state he does. He takes people's money and does absolutely nothing for them. We paid him for three years all the while assuming that he was doing work on our case to help us. In the end he gave our house to the mortgage company and has not sent paperwork or emails as requested or as he stated he would.

This attorney should not practice the law anymore. I payed him $3,000.00 to file an represent me and to file an affidavit on my behalf as i was not in default at all. Instead, he set me up with the plaintiff attorney and set up a date to foreclosure on my property without my knowledge and my approval. I don't think he works for people, I think he's working against people helping the palitiff ( bank ) indirectly! He should loose his license! He put my property in foreclosure when I'm not in default.

My HOA has this firm on retainer. I sent an email asking our attorney how much he would charge us to write a contract for a project. The reply was 4 quick lines and we were billed $81 for their "services". I can't figure out how else I would have found out the cost of the project without asking. Insane and insulting....we may be shopping for new legal counsel shortly!!

I retained Adam to represent me in a fairly simple real estate transaction, which turned out to be one of the worst mistakes of my life. He mishandled the case from the very beginning - he never returns calls, follows up, or keeps the client updated, and worst of all he doesn't know what he's doing. His errors with the final paperwork have so far cost me over $40K in taxes that I should not have paid, and the damage may not be done yet.
Yes, I have filed a formal complaint with the Florida bar, and they are actively investigating him. His license has been suspended twice in the last several years - maybe third time will be a charm. This individual has no ethics, and he has no business being an attorney.

I hired Adam to assist with a bankruptcy in late 2014. After 2 submitted and subsequently dismissed attempts to finalize the process, I finally stopped communicating with Adam in late 2017, due to his repeated failure to return any of my frantic, urgent calls or emails, up to the point where I needed to hire another attorney two days before a scheduled court date for the foreclosure of my home.
Adam repeatedly missed court imposed deadlines, submitted incorrect documents, misrepresented or incorrectly explained processes or court requirements, and frequently gave me, what in retrospect, I feel was either unethical or simply wrong. But by far, my most frustrating and consistent experience with Adam was his near complete disregard for appropriately communicating with me as his client. Calls, emails, deadlines, critical information, and urgent questions simply went unanswered or missed, over and over again. Bankruptcy is a difficult enough process without the added stress of having to cope with an attorney that simply ignores or dismisses your concerns.
Additionally, upon doing my research (unfortunately, after hiring him) I discovered Adam has a history of being disciplined by the bar to the point of having his license suspended in two seperate states, on several occasions for similar problems and unethical behavior. Had I known this before I hired him, I would have passed, as I would recommend any clients considering him as an attorney do.

Apparently Jana Thornbury was assigned my case from Morgan & Morgan. On the calls she belittled the value of my case, and reiterated thats the costs for for expert examination would have to come out of the damages for the case, and failed to recognize that those particular damages would be in the compensatory damages, as these would thus compensate the medical needs and treatment required to recover from this case.

I hired this lawyer in 2008 for him to help me acquire a modification for my home that had entered in foreclosure the same year. He started doing his job as a lawyer but after the years passed and nothing had been settled we started asking him questions on how the process was going. He would always tell us that the case had been won and that there was nothing to worry about. He is very disrespectful and rude. He didn't show up to the final hearing of the home. Long story short I lost my home, and the lawyer didnt even know the house had been sold until I went to claim in his office. He had no valid excuse to give me.

This Lawyer took my case, I trusted that as a Lawyer he knew what he was doing, and a short time later when I sold my house I thought that everything was fine and he had left me a debt of several thousands in the modification that he made. This meant that the profit for the sale of my house was significantly reduced. I DO NOT RECOMMEND, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, AND SEEMS LIKE A LAWYER WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AND ADVISES HIS CLIENTS BADLY SUCH AS IN MY CASE.

35 years of career and no reviews. I should have read the signs when I looked you up for representation. He is a total embarrassment for the attorneys who performed with high standards. He barely knows the law system. As matter fact the only thing that keeps him alive are the connections in different agencies who he uses and still can not win a case. I would rather represent the case by myself than having this person representing me. He is a total ashamed. 35 years wasted. You know where to contact or call him or find him because he works for several firms. He would do much better in Publix filling up the bags than he does as an attorney. www. Publixjobs.com

Tyra Read might be a "super rising star attorney" but she will plow you over on her way to create a name for herself. Very unfair person & completely unreasonable to work with! She solicited me away from my management position, hired me & then only worked with me for 14 business days before firing me! That day she stayed home & didn't even have the guts to look me in the eye. She's a very fake person!! Only cares about herself & her wallet!

I would be very careful about retaining this attorney. I retained him for a foreclosure matter. He was non-responsive. He refused to do things that we asked him to do such as contact opposing counsel and work out settlement of 2nd mortgage. Then when we complained about his communication, he withdrew from the case as attorney after taking our money and not finishing the case. He is - in my opinion as an attorney for 24 years in this State - a horrible attorney and I would never retain him again.

I am not going to waste your time with a sob story, In my opinion, it is best to just use another company.
This rating is not rectifiable, so please don't ask again.
Rest assured, I am a legitimate customer that paid Mr. Levine for his services. They can play the semantics game and say that I am not their "client", but again, I absolutely used his services, thus, I am leaving a legitimate review of my personal experience, to suggest otherwise is misleading to say the least.
Mr. Levine did contact me to rectify this situation but we are at an impasse.
He is suggesting that clarification of a mediation agreement that he authored is considered legal advice, and I disagree.
It is important for mediators to be aware of the line between clarification and advice, especially during mediation.
He seemed to understand this point during mediation.
As I understand it, as a mediator, he was never allowed to provide legal advice but he was, and still is, allowed to clarify what is written in the mediation agreement that he authored.

Arlene is very nice to speak to and a nice person but that is where the good experience stops. It was very frustrating and time consuming to constantly chase after a lawyer to follow-up on closing matters. Arlene is not detailed oriented and does not allot an appropriate amount of time to "close" on the transaction/business at hand during her day. She follows-up on 1 out of every 3-5 emails and the same ratio for phone calls. A mistake was made in the closing settlement that would have cost appx $500 if I had not caught it. I am still waiting for a closing document to be delivered and the closing was over 2 months ago.

I was referred to this attorney and qualified for a free phone consultation. Maybe that is why I was treated the way I was treated. This woman would not let me finish a sentence, kept rushing me, wouldn't let me explain my entire situation, and spoke to me as if I were dirt on the ground. When I asked her if I could finish what I was saying, after being interrupted for literally an entire 10 min conversation (I was entitled to 30 minutes), she replied with, "I don't think this is going to be a good fit". I completely agreed. I have never been spoken to in such a way by a "professional" before. I have never gone out of my way to give a bad review, but I was in tears by the end of the call due to how cruel she was. All I wanted was some advice. Please, do not bother with this attorney, unless you want to be made to feel terrible. I get the feeling that if I had a lot of money, I may have been treated quite differently.

He smooth talks you and does all the upfront work so he can get paid. He does all the initial filings then drops you like a bad habit. He failed to submit paperwork on our “supposed” behalf to the board of trustees and they filed to have our case dismissed. Numerous emails and phone calls were unanswered/unreturned and I had to do all the work myself. Don’t hire this scumbag.

What a Foreclosure Lawyer Can Do for You
A foreclosure lawyer specializes in helping homeowners navigate the legal complexities of foreclosure, working to protect their rights and potentially save their homes. Foreclosure lawyers assist homeowners facing foreclosure by negotiating with lenders, filing legal defenses, and representing them in court. They also help with loan modifications, short sales, and other alternatives to foreclosure. Whether you’re behind on mortgage payments or already in foreclosure proceedings, a lawyer can help you explore your legal options and work toward a solution.
If you’re at risk of losing your home, a foreclosure lawyer can provide guidance on how to stop or delay the foreclosure process and protect your financial future.
When Should I Hire a Foreclosure Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a foreclosure lawyer in several situations where you are facing financial difficulties with your mortgage. Common reasons to hire a lawyer include:
- Facing foreclosure proceedings: If your lender has initiated foreclosure proceedings, a lawyer can help you file a legal defense and explore options for stopping or delaying the process.
- Loan modification: If you want to modify the terms of your mortgage to make payments more manageable, a lawyer can help you negotiate with your lender and ensure that the modification complies with legal standards.
- Challenging the foreclosure: If you believe your lender has violated foreclosure laws or the terms of your mortgage agreement, a lawyer can help you challenge the foreclosure in court.
- Stopping a foreclosure sale: If your home is about to be sold at a foreclosure auction, a lawyer may be able to file for a temporary restraining order or injunction to halt the sale.
- Short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure: If you cannot afford to keep your home but want to avoid foreclosure, a lawyer can assist with arranging a short sale or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, where you voluntarily transfer ownership of the home to the lender to avoid foreclosure.
- Filing for bankruptcy: If you’re unable to manage your mortgage debt and other financial obligations, a lawyer can advise whether filing for bankruptcy might stop foreclosure and help you restructure your debts.
Hiring a lawyer as soon as possible - especially when foreclosure is imminent - can provide you with more legal options to save your home or limit financial damages.
What Does a Foreclosure Lawyer Do?
A foreclosure lawyer provides a variety of legal services to homeowners facing foreclosure, working to protect their rights and help them avoid losing their homes. Their responsibilities often include:
- Negotiating with lenders: A lawyer can negotiate with your lender to modify your mortgage or create a repayment plan, helping you avoid foreclosure by securing more favorable terms.
- Filing a legal defense: If your lender is improperly foreclosing or has made errors in the foreclosure process, a lawyer can file a legal defense, challenging the foreclosure in court. Defenses may include violations of foreclosure laws, predatory lending practices, or failure to follow the terms of the mortgage.
- Representing you in court: A lawyer can represent you in foreclosure proceedings, whether you are defending against the foreclosure, seeking more time to negotiate with the lender, or filing for bankruptcy.
- Stopping or delaying foreclosure sales: If your home is scheduled for a foreclosure auction, a lawyer can help file a motion to stop or delay the sale, giving you time to explore other options.
- Advising on bankruptcy: A foreclosure lawyer can assess whether filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy would be beneficial, as bankruptcy can temporarily stop foreclosure and give you time to reorganize your finances.
- Arranging short sales or deeds in lieu of foreclosure: A lawyer can help facilitate a short sale (selling the property for less than the mortgage balance) or a deed in lieu of foreclosure (transferring the property to the lender), which may allow you to avoid the foreclosure process.
How Are Foreclosure Lawyers Paid?
Foreclosure lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many foreclosure lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific legal services, such as negotiating a loan modification or filing a bankruptcy petition, some lawyers offer a flat fee. Flat fees can range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the scope of the work.
- Retainer: In more complex foreclosure cases, especially those involving ongoing negotiations with lenders or court appearances, a lawyer may require a retainer. This is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case.
- Contingency fee (rare): In some rare cases, particularly when suing a lender for wrongful foreclosure, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win the case or settle on your behalf.
It’s important to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer upfront, especially if you are facing financial difficulties.
How Much Does a Foreclosure Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a foreclosure lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the amount of time required to resolve the issue. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Foreclosure lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour. For example, a simple case with 10 hours of legal work at $300 per hour would cost $3,000.
- Flat fees: For straightforward services such as filing for bankruptcy or negotiating a loan modification, flat fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the work.
- Retainers: In more complex or ongoing foreclosure cases, a lawyer may require a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the length of the case and the lawyer’s experience.
In addition to legal fees, you may also need to cover additional costs, such as court filing fees or expenses related to property appraisals.
Top Questions to Ask a Foreclosure Lawyer
Before hiring a foreclosure lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the necessary experience and approach to help you. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with foreclosure cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling foreclosure cases similar to yours and has successfully helped homeowners avoid foreclosure or negotiate better terms. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost of their services. -
What are my options for stopping foreclosure?
Ask the lawyer to explain the different legal strategies available for stopping or delaying foreclosure, such as loan modifications, filing a legal defense, or bankruptcy. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the chances of successfully avoiding or delaying foreclosure. -
How long will the process take?
Foreclosure cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take and what factors might affect the timeline. -
Will I need to go to court?
Ask whether your case is likely to settle out of court or if a trial may be necessary. If a trial is possible, ask what steps the lawyer will take to prepare. -
What steps can I take to protect my home?
Ask the lawyer for advice on steps you can take to protect your home, such as making partial payments, negotiating with your lender, or exploring foreclosure alternatives.
How to Check the Credibility of a Foreclosure Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable foreclosure lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for foreclosure experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in foreclosure law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on foreclosure matters.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Look for lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) or who have specialized certifications in real estate or foreclosure law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a foreclosure lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Mortgage documents: Bring a copy of your mortgage agreement, payment history, and any correspondence you’ve received from your lender, including foreclosure notices or demand letters.
- Financial information: Provide information about your income, expenses, and debts, as this will help the lawyer assess your financial situation and determine the best legal strategy for your case.
- Previous communications with your lender: If you’ve already tried to negotiate with your lender, bring any emails, letters, or records of phone calls that document these communications.
- Court documents (if applicable): If foreclosure proceedings have already begun, bring any court documents related to the case.
- Questions about your legal options: Prepare a list of questions about the foreclosure process, your options for avoiding foreclosure, and how the lawyer plans to help you.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for protecting your home from foreclosure.
