Mr. Richard Burton and his son Marc are truly the best. I had a very complicated case about a dispute with a Homeowner association pending for almost five years. I  was at risk of losing my possession. When I called their office, they immediately began working on the case, and they were able to get me what I deserved. I appreciate the assistance I received from these two excellent attorneys.
I Â highly recommend this firm. They are very responsive and will keep you informed of every step.

Jude is an excellent lawyer. They were very attentive throughout my Green Card process. They expedited my case, and what was supposed to take 4 years was completed in 1.5 years, and my Green Card was approved. I highly recommend them. They will fight for you to win. I am very grateful to them and their team, and I am very happy to have worked with them.

Having been in a solo practice for over fifty years I know the best compliment is to receive a referral.
I was recently represented as a plaintiff by Mr Randy Weber of Pita- Weber-Del Prado in a case that was a life altering event. Mr Weber and his staff were most professional, thorough, friendly and empathetic.
The case was concluded with a satisfactory settlement and I appreciate all they have done with a complicated situation.
I can highly recommend Mr Weber and his firm for the legal services they provide.

What a remarkable team! I had been turned down by 2 other law firms for my husband’s wrongful death case and from the moment I had my consultation with Skip, there were no hesitation – from either of us. He was well informed of the laws surrounding my case and he thoroughly explained the process to me; it was from there on that I was confident he and his team would represent me well. I was absolutely right! Within 5 MONTHS my case was SETTLED and for the MAXIMUM amount allowed by law.
Skip and his team were always available to take my call, they gathered and reviewed my documents and evidence quickly, and were fast in taking action for filings and responses. They were also genuinely compassionate and held my hand through the entire process for what was a very emotional and difficult time in my life. I would highly recommend Skip Pita and I couldn’t be more thankful to have had him fighting on my behalf.

I can highly recommend this firm to handle your case. I was involved in a car accident during a trip to Miami. My husband and I were contacted through a nephew and they decided to take the case. At no point did I feel like they did not have my best interest at heart.
The communication was top notch, as was the compassion and professional concern.
Great job and a quick resolution for a lost customer like we were definitely 200% Recommended to and I almost forgot it's been a while and they haven't forgotten about me today I received my birthday card and my first birthday present I'm super happy, thank you so much Rosanna and your team 💐💐🙏

I hired Mr. Neustein in 2008 he kept us out of foreclosure for four years , he won the case and was able to get some of the attorney's fees reimbursed by the bank and the best is that we were able to keep our home.
I'm very grateful to this law firm , the staff is very professional and they keep you informed of all the changes in your case.
Again, thank you !!

I contacted Neustein Law with about two weeks notice, prior to a Summary Final Judgement (Foreclosure) and the firm was able to deliver big. Not only did they deliver big, they delivered fast, negotiating an equitable agreement in a very convoluted, albeit difficult relationship with the lender.
I followed their advice and it ended in 100% success! I can't recommend this firm enough.

Friends, I tell you, Frederick Neustein is unlike any other lawyer. If you want to feel comfortable talking about your personal legal problems, AND get ACTUAL results, Mr. Neustein should be your next stop. He has a welcoming office and an even more welcoming demeanor. He was honest and realistic when it came to my foreclosure case, and gave me a sense of relief by educating me on options I didn't even know existed. From Mr. Neustein's wonderful and friendly receptionist/legal assistant and prompt notary, to his professionalism and knowledge in an array of areas...THIS is where you want to bring your case if you not only want to win, but be informed on how to better your legal issues. We just went to court today and got the sale postponed, which awarded me the extended time I was in hope for. I thought I had exhausted any and all avenues to postpone this sale, but with his quick actions, he worked with the bank's lawyers to come to an understanding. I suggest you take the free consultation with him, as I promise, you will be satisfied! I was just in your shoes last month; On Avvo, looking for legal answers and an attorney that I could afford...And now, I've happily gotten the results I was in dire need of, AND at a price that is affordable. Make Frederick Neustein your attorney, you will not regret it!

EACH AND EVERY ATTORNEY SHOULD ASPIRE TO THE EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH STANDARDS OF MR. RICHARD R. ROBLES! HE IMMEDIATELY PUTS THE CLIENT FIRST, HE IS VERY EASY TO TALK TO, HE TAKES HIS TIME WITH THE CLIENT, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT TO MR. ROBLES. MR. ROBLES IS VERY PATIENT AND THOROUGH AND HE CLEARLY UNDERSTANDS THE LAW AND HE REALLY WANTS TO HELP YOU! WHAT MORE NEEDS TO BE SAID?!

The best thing of Richard is that nothing is "sugar coated". He is very straight forward and tells you what to expect each step of the way. Richard and his team keeps you always informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep to make me happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Highly recommended.

I hired Mr. Richard Robles as my personal injury attorney. The first day we met I knew he was the man for the job, he guided me through all the processes and steps needed to move forward with my case. From the day I hired him he kept me up to date with everything that was going on right up to the end of the case which was a success. Richard is an all around nice guy and I would recommend him for anyone. Hopefully I won't need legal assistance again but if I do I know who to call.

After my wife and I met with several attorneys we knew after a few minutes of talking to Mr. Montalvo, he was the right attorney for our Foreclosure case. He made us feel at ease and showed a personal human touch regarding our situation. Through out the whole process Mr. Montalvo and his staff kept us notified of what was going on and kept us abreast of any changes to come which really helped set our minds at ease. With the many ups and downs we had through out the process with our case, Mr. Montalvo demonstrated his knowledge and expertise of his work by handling all of those bumps professionally and effeciently. Mr. Montalvo was very cost conscious, he detailed every cost and made sure there were no hidden fees. Mr. Montalvo demonstrated to me through out our whole process his integrity and honesty, his business ethics are second to none. Mr. Montalvo has my up most respect and trust and I would recommend him to anyone that asks.

We hired Lamchick Law Group for a real estate related issue and we felt right away comfortable in giving them the case for which they fought for in the best possible way. The entire team is extremely professional and hardworking. The case was resolved in no time and during the entire process they were available to explain everything step by step, reassure us and answer all our questions. If we had any other issues in the future, in any field, we would 100% go back to see them. We recommend Lamchick Law Group to anyone who needs a good attorney and most important a reliable one. We are very grateful for what they have done for our family.

Ala has represented me and my companies since 1987, over 29 years. During that time, Alan and his staff ALWAYS got it right. During one case for me, Alan was required to attend court for over two years using every free day the court had. The ruling was in our favor. In his "spare" time, he and his firm handled, our other legal matters. His fees were fair.
If he takes you as a client, sit back and relax. I am now retired and doing just that.

It was a pleasure working with Nick and his paralegal, Annabella Chin. Nick was very responsive and he went out of his way to counsel my wife and I on multiple questions, legal or otherwise, related to closing on our first home purchase. He was consistently proactive and available for a call. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, and he ensured we had our ducks in a row so that our closing process went on without a hitch. In coordination with our realtor, Nick made certain that the closing occurred on the date as previously agreed. When the attorney on the seller side was unresponsive, Nick and his team went as far as completing all legal paperwork that the other attorney was supposed to complete. Above and beyond. Than you, Nick. It was a pleasure working with you!

I'm very satisfied with the service provided by Nina Tarafa, she is very professional and responsive. I highly recommend her services.
Read more
02 Jan, 2015 by Jorge
My experience with Ms. Tarafa was at first a difficult one as my case was being investigated and discovery and depositions were being scheduled. I was facing up to 15 years in Federal Prison. Ms. Tarafa's demeanor is that of a pitbull in a skirt when it comes to defending her clients, regardless of guilt. Her background having worked for the State Attorney serves as an excellent frame of reference in her negotiations. She's upfront with her clients, but also empathetic enough to get to know who she's dealing with. After negotiations with the State, Ms. Tarafa was able to assist me in a plea deal and sentencing that was favorable and was able to help me "avoid the worse case scenario."
If you find yourself in a tough legal situation, you want Ms. Tarafa on your side - she will give you all the facts and those are scary to hear most of the time, but she will also assist you in assuring that, as she told me after my first hearing, "will fight to get you the results that are best for your lifestyle." She certainly delivered, I'm writing this review from work and I can carry on with my life under community control, no tether, with reporting to a PO once a week which is certainly better than 15 years in Federal Prison that would've stripped me of a normal life.
I am forever indebted to Ms. Tarafa for her determination to assist her clients.

I haven't had the best experience with lawyers in the past. But, Ms. Nina Tarafa had our complicated case and did beyond wonders for us with a huge victory. When I met her for the first time, I heard a knowledgeable professional with a logical course of action to successfully win the case. She is competent, highly skilled, understanding, compassionate, displays the highest ethics, and is aggressive in court when she has to be and she never gives up on the case. She keeps you informed, always makes herself available as soon as she is able to, even if it is just to see how you are doing, she shows you exactly the work and plan that she is going to be presenting for you in court. Ms. Nina Tarafa was a former Chief Prosecutor for Miami Dade County, so she really knows the strategies and tactics to use in your defense in court by already having the experience of being on both sides of the judicial system and court room. She is the only attorney from now on that my family and I will be going to for any legal matter. The best legal counsel can be the very difference between an acquittal or a conviction. Because of that I highly recommend Ms. Nina Tarafa without any hesitation. Thanks Nina and God Bless!

I was at my wits end after dealing with a previous attorney that closed it's firm while handling my case. I was referred to Monica by a close friend of mine. I am so very glad that I heeded her suggestion. I went to see her regarding my real estate case. She not only set my mind at ease but explained the logistics and how she could assist me to continue with the process in layman's terms. Needless to say, I retained her services. She has kept me in the loop and guided me step by step throughout the whole process. Her staff are extremely attentive, very helpful and always available to take your call. There are no words for me to express my gratitude for all her efforts, guidance, knowledge and assistance. She was a Godsend. I recommend Monica Amador with complete confidence!!!

Hired Ms. Amador and her partner, Ms.Cuellar for a criminal defense and outstanding is an understatement. From the moment they took the case, they got to work and they had proof of all the work they had done. Depositions were done in an organized manner and the facts were made very clear by both Monica and Abbie. Once it came to trial, the case was beat and justice was truly served.
I reccomend these two amazing, professional attorneys for not just criminal matters, but civil matters as well!

My Husband and I went to see Mrs Amador who was highly recommended by a family member because we were having problems with the bank improperly calling in our loan and my mother was going through a very difficult foreclosure after my dad died. Look no further for a Consumer Debt Attorney! She is a DEBT WARRIOR. You will not be disappointed. Mrs. Amador is a true professional. She was straight forward and knowledgeable and boy was she tough with the Bank! I would go to every court hearing in my case and I was so glad she was on my side - the bank's attorney didnt stand a chance. I highly recommend her!

I had three different events in which I needed legal representation in the last three years. I have met a lot of attorneys these past few years and the only one I would recommend is Octavio. Octavio has saved my life. I thank him and I'm in debt because in the times I did not know where to turn he was honest, he was fully committed to helping me overcome the problems I encountered, and he gave me the best service. You don't have to chase after him. He always does what he promises. He is easily accessible by phone and email. I feel that he is worth much more than the fees I paid. My first name is Juan. He knows who I am. I give permission to have my cases discussed with anyone that seeks his advice. My cases were very complex and difficult. You will be shocked to know that Octavio overcame all obstacles, he put the time into my cases, and won in court for me several times. Not only did he win, he made the other attorney look like a rookie. I felt embarrassed for the other attorney. He fights hard. He doesn't give you a sales pitch like most attorneys out there before they get your money and then treat your case like he is doing you a favor. He is a good person and a great lawyer and you can tell right away after meeting him.
Bottom line: I will recommend Octavio to any family member or friend and I will always seek his legal advice if I ever need it.
He did absolutely everything right. He was supportive and he truly cared about the consequences of my situation. Never late. Perfect experience.
He has helped me with a divorce case, 2 domestic violence cases, and a real state case. Absolutely satisfied every time.

I have known Winston personally and professionally for years and have the highest respect for his knowledge, his ethics, his attention to detail, and his devotion to his clients. He goes out of his way to explain the law, the process and the options, and he is devoted to his clients. And moreover, if he can't help you he will find someone who can. When I meet someone who needs his skill set, I never hesitate to recommend him over any other attorneys in his field. A consummate professional and a great guy, as well.

Mr. Cuenant is by far the best attorney I have ever dealt with in my life. When I filed for bankruptcy earlier in the year I was very afraid of the entire process. Mr. Cuenant took the time to make sure that I was as comfortable with the process as possible. He was always there to take my calls and if not, he returned them very promptly. He genuinely seemed to care about me and that was very comforting. I would recommend his services to anyone.

- 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.

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. -

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.
