We engaged Mr. Boyer regarding difficulties we were having with a home improvement contractor. Mr. Boyer provided excellent counsel on what our options were and how best to solve them. Although completely resolving the issue will take some time, we feel considerable relief that the solutions he recommended have thus far been very effective. We highly recommend Mr. Boyer for counsel on resolving issues and disputes with home improvement contractors.

My son was arrested for having a small amount of marijuana in his car when pulled over by the police. Mechelle was able to get him into a probationary program where all he had to do was not smoke marijuana and his record would be expunged. Well, he failed a urine test and was brought to court again. Mechelle was able to have his probation extended in lieu of having his license suspended and a permanent charge on his record. She did a fine job.

There is no more professional and considerate law firm out there. They will keep you informed and make you comfortable with every step of your case. They go over and above to make sure that you feel safe and understand everything happening through the entire interaction and even follow up after. They do not make you feel like every interaction is just billable hour by any means. They take into consideration how you feel and help you make the best decision for you and your situation. I will forever be thankful for having Eric Lane as my lawyer.

Lane & Lane helped me with a prenup and were fantastic. From being upfront about what the costs would include, why not to go with much cheaper, online options, and then the follow-through, I was in good hands the entire time. This can be a delicate/difficult sort of agreement for a couple, and Lane & Lane were courteous, professional, and detailed. Highly recommended.

Husain Gatlin is probably one of the best attorneys I have ever retained and I can’t thank him enough for being so hands on with our case. He did everything he said he was going to do and he is well worth every cent you spend!! As I have told Husain previously, I admire him and I don’t like lawyers! 🤣
I think that explains it all!! Thank you 😎

I would recommend anyone that need professional legal representation to seek Mr Gatlin. I really appreciate his assistance and i want to say THANK YOU Mr. Gatlin for your excellent professional assistance and the outcome.

I paid Husain A. Gatlin $2,500 to represent me in a simple civil dispute. From the beginning, he was difficult to get a hold of, and even though I only reached out with legitimate questions, Gatlin only communicated through a document uploading website, through which it took several days to get a response.
Communication got so bad with Gatlin that another lawyer of mine attempted to contact him regarding vital matters- he and I still got no response for weeks.
Gatlin made it clear to me -by actually telling me- that he was tired of this case and had no interest in continuing it. It was such a relatively minor case (albeit very important to me) that he simply lost interest when it started taking just a little longer than expected to reach a resolution.
WORSE OF ALL, I didn’t find out until trial commenced (with a new lawyer) that a major point of contention between the other party and me was caused by Gatlin’s carelessness.
Part of my countersuit against the other party was for trespassing. It didn’t come out until the trial, when opposing counsel brought it to my attention while I was on the witness stand, that unbeknownst to me, Gatlin had given the go-ahead to the other party to enter my property WITHOUT CONSULTING ME, OR EVEN TELLING ME AFTER HE DID IT. Police were called, charges were filed, trial took place, all because Gatlin, knowing I would never allow the trespass FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN, took it upon himself to let the other party enter my property without even telling me he’d done it.
As a trial date approached, when he should have been the most interactive, Gatlin completely fell off the face of the planet. Neither I nor my other attorney could reach him at all. Weeks later, I fired him and hired another attorney.
Since Gatlin did nothing the entire ten months he “represented” me (other than wear his pretty little bow ties), I filed for fee arbitration to recoup at least a portion of the $2,500 I paid. During the fee arbitration hearing, he blatantly lied several times, and when I proved he was lying, he resorted to insults.
If your case isn’t as sexy and exciting as a murder, this is the kind of service you can expect from Husain A. Gatlin.
---------UPDATE, IN RESPONSE TO COMPANY'S COMMENT------------
The panel's questionable decision aside, there's no denying the fact that your carelessness put my children in danger and caused unnecessary litigation. And it's no coincidence that other negative reviews of you have common denominators- your carelessness, quickness to lose interest in cases you're paid to see through to the end, and petulant refusal to communicate with clients.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Martone & Uhlmann, P.C.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Dennis & Jahaira at Martone & Uhlmann, P.C. during my new home purchase, and I couldn't be happier with their service. They took the time to thoroughly explain everything, were incredibly responsive, and helped me close in less than 30 days! Every deadline was not only met but exceeded, finishing early each time.
Their support was invaluable, especially as a first-time homeowner navigating a stressful process. Dennis and Jahaira kept everything calm and manageable, making the experience much smoother. I highly recommend working with them—they are the reason I was able to secure my home. Thank you, Dennis & Jahaira! ❤️

I'm a person who puts things off... especially when it's dealing with troubling issues. I tend to ignore them until I simply can't anymore. On the Friday before a court filing due the next Monday, I contacted James Cerbone's law office after finally opening a piece of mail I had received from them the week before - remember the part about putting things off? Cindy returned my messaged call within the hour, and arranged to stay late so that I could come in and sign the paperwork. The price was fair and everything settled to my satisfaction. (It was a case involving old debt). Cindy was not only understanding, but friendly and personable - my only regret is that I didn't contact her sooner!

Mr. Campbell was a pleasure to work with. He was able to take a very bad situation that overwhelmed me and turned it into an easy step by step process that ended up working itself out pretty well in the end. I was pulled over with weed in my vehicle and had received moving violations on top of that and it would have been a loss of license and a lot of fines, but Mr. Campbell suggested I help myself as best as a I could and look into getting a medical marijuana card. I was able to obtain the card and should not have an issues going forward. This was a great experience with an easy going, easy to work with lawyer. He did not try to scam me or steal my money and he went above and beyond to address all my concerns and returned my phone calls very quickly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Chris is in simple terms an amazing lawyer and kept me a free man against all odds. After my 3rd DUI and facing a mandatory 6 month jail bid. He always returned my calls and was the utmost professional in every possible way. Not only was he a professional but I actually felt like he became a friend. I would and am going to refer him to anyone I know that needs amazing representation for any matter. I honestly would have paid him double for the great job he did. If you need an attorney who takes pride in his work and will do anything in his power to win your case, I highly recommend using Chris , THANKS AGAIN CHRIS, YOU SHOULD AND DO HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH FOR THE UNBELIEVABLE JOB U DO FOR YOUR CLIENTS!!!

I can't express enough how thankful I am for Constance S. Hill and her incredible support throughout my immigration process. From the moment I had my online consultation with her, I felt a sense of relief knowing I was in the hands of someone who truly cared about my case. Constance took the time to listen to my concerns, explain every detail of the process, and answer all my questions, no matter how small.
What really made the difference for me was their constant communication. Whenever I was nervous or unsure, Constance was there to reassure me, always quick to respond and provide thoughtful, clear guidance. I never felt like just another client; I felt like they genuinely had my best interests at heart.
Thanks to her hard work, patience, and expertise, my urgent case was resolved quickly and successfully. I’m very grateful for everything she did for me. If you're looking for an immigration attorney who truly cares and knows what they're doing, I wholeheartedly recommend Constance S. Hill. She made a challenging process so much easier, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We had the pleasure of working with Chris as our lawyer for the purchase of our second investment property, and our experience was exceptional. Compared to our previous lawyer, Chris brought a breath of fresh air to the process with his professionalism, responsiveness, and proactive approach.
From the outset, Chris impressed us with his responsiveness and availability. Whether during work hours, after hours, or even on weekends, Chris was consistently reachable, ensuring that we were always kept informed and reassured throughout the entire process.
Chris's professionalism was evident in every interaction we had with him. He approached our transaction with the utmost integrity and diligence, leaving no stone unturned to protect our interests and ensure a smooth process from start to finish.
During negotiations, Chris's assertiveness and commitment to securing the best possible outcome for us as buyers were remarkable. He approached negotiations aggressively, yet strategically, ensuring that we left no meat on the bone and securing a deal that exceeded our expectations.
Beyond his legal expertise, Chris's positive demeanor and approachable nature made it a pleasure to work with him.
The seamless collaboration between Chris and our realtor was instrumental in achieving the best possible deal for us. Their synergy ensured that all aspects of the transaction were handled with precision and efficiency.
We would not hesitate to work with him again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone in need of legal representation for any real estate transactions.

I had a really bad experience with Glenn Reiser's representation.
When we met with him and his brother, they said we'd always be in the driver's seat. It got off to a promising start for the first few months, but after that the momentum took a nosedive and it seemed like we barely had any input at all.
In all fairness, when he took our case over we did have a judge who by his own words was showing partiality to the other side. But after pointing that out, he didn't do anything about it. So we kept being hit with bad rulings. At the time we were told there was nothing we could do about it. Just wait for the appeal.
He doesn't really seem to know too much about land value outside of his area either with particular circumstances and he made an awful assessment of one of our experts, which turned out to be the opposite of what he said.
Rather than aiming for the best possible scenario for situations that arose he seemed to be repeatedly proud that it wasn't the worst possible outcome.
Then back in a pretrial conference call, the judge verbally approved me to testify virtually because I'm out-of-state but Glenn dragged his feet and never wrote the request that was agreed upon. I had assumed he did this but then 2 months later he forgot completely about it then gave me a hard time that I didn't want to testify in person when I had already received permission to do it virtually. But because he delayed, it cost me more having to come out in person when it was never necessary in the first place.
When driving to court, he charges his actual hourly rate for legal work and not mileage reimbursement which adds up if the court is in a different county.
There was also wasted time and money with him. One smaller example is his firm ordered video depositions then they forgot they ordered them and they wanted to use the written transcripts instead which were much cheaper and we could've just gone with originally. Again a small example, but it gives you an idea.
He appeared to triangulate the plaintiffs he was representing in our case as well.
Whenever he did something questionable, in my observation he'd do it verbally to one of the plaintiffs. He lied to me about something another plaintiff said which made us make a decision, based on the false information he provided, we never really recovered from. Then when I found out what happened from the other plaintiff and called him out on it he didn't tell the truth about what happened.
When I wanted to switch attorneys, I asked for the files of our case. When he responded if digital worked. I replied yes, then he never sent them over. After that it was too late in the case to switch to a better one.
Ironically, he threatened to leave the case close to the last minute when I disagreed with him on some issues because I felt it wasn't being honest.
A lot of the communication with him felt like a manipulation and that I wasn't being told the information directly. In fact, he was so completely wrong some times that by doing the opposite of what he said was the better move. At one point, he admitted, "you were right," to one of the other plaintiffs. However, I wanted my attorney to be right. That's what we hired him for and it made me lose all faith.
I personally found him to be dishonest. And while he definitely is an amazing and expertly skilled trial attorney, he seemed awful at a lot of other aspects of being a lawyer. The worst being negotiating in my and the other main plaintiff's opinion. He felt very draining to be around and deal with. A case that spans over a long period of time is difficult enough but dealing with him just seemed like it added to the burden.

Long story short - Back around 2017 our company was involved in lawsuit. A man you can trust and dedicated excellent Attorney Mr. Glenn R. Reiser from Shapiro Croland Reiser Apfel & Di Iorio, LLP law firm. He was successful in all suits that we had placed with him.
He was in constant communication with us, returning phone calls/emails/correspondence promptly and went to great lengths to ensure that we understood our various legal options -though he was busy with several cases, he made us feel like we were the only clients of his firm. Mr. Glenn R. Reiser is clearly a highly skilled litigator that knows when to be aggressive and when to pursue alternative options; his legal experience won us a highly favorable outcome. Most importantly, I am deeply grateful to Mr. Glenn R. Reiser for his patience and respect for diversity.
He is just a fantastic person to work with -sharp and experienced, but kind and understanding.
He receives our highest recommendation, and I am sure that you will not be disappointed.
He was very patient with me, always answered my questions and gave me objective counsel I knew I could trust. His hard work and diligence resulted in a favorable outcome in my case.
Simply phenomenal from start to finish, he was a pleasure to have on my side and would highly recommend Mr. Glenn R. Reiser and his firm.

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.
