My livelihood was on the line I needed legal representation fast and I needed someone very knowledgeable regarding my situation. I went online in search of an attorney and I chose Howell, Buchan, and strong because of their reviews. Attorney Brown and Attorney Buchan went over the entire process of a case such as mine and reassured me that they would get the best possible results and when I tell you they did that and more. I'm a true believer in God I had never heard of this law firm , but when I was in search of legal representation I was lead to them. I didn't even chose a lawyer from the city where I live. I highly recommend this law firm and let me not forget their legal secretary Helen Blandon she is phenomenal.

Hands down to this law firm for having the BEST secretary, paralegal and attorneys. I was very pleased on how fast and easy you made this process.
Helen, I am truly grateful for everything you did to help me with this process. You never dodged my calls or emails, you were always there and willing to help me even if it was just with your encouraging words in my time of desperation.
Thank you, many blessing

Let me start by saying, I needed all the help I could get. A lot of processes when dealing with the state can get frustrating and overwhelming. My experience with this firm has been amazing! I cannot say enough about the attention to detail, the time with responses, and the thorough approach to each and every aspect of my situation.
I am soo grateful to Howell, Buchan and Strong and the way Helen has just been by my side throughout the whole process! SHE is a powerhouse and I would literally recommend anyone in need of the services they provide, to use them.

Nobody imagines that they will have to use the services of an attorney, but if you have to...there is nobody better than Chris Turner. His professionalism, genuine interest in your well-being , legal knowledge, and the quality of the services he provides were beyond what I expected, exceeding every expectation. I will forever be grateful for him and how he dealt with a very stressful situation in my life. He did not rest until every aspect of the situation was properly resolved.

In August I found out a lawsuit has been filed against me. It was in regards to a very emotional and sensitive matter, plus having never been sued before I was nervous. I got recommendations from lawyer and court employee friends, and looked up lawyers on Google. I called 12-15 law offices in the area but ultimately decided to put my trust in Mr Chris Turner at CRT Legal. His office staff was friendly, personable, and professional right from the start. Mr Turner then took the time to speak to me in depth about the case on our first phone call. I knew I needed a lawyer who is smart, organized, and can fight. Mr Turner is that. I felt like he's old enough in his career to know what he's doing extremely well, but young enough in his career to enjoy the fight. Exactly what a good lawyer should be. He hasn't disappointed. He's professional, incredibly smart, and great at what he does. Glad I made the choice to have him fight my battle for me. I pray I don't ever need another lawyer- but if I do- Chris Turner's office will be the first call I make. I highly recommend CRT Legal.

I contacted Mr. Turner about a possible civil law & defamation case. Mr. Turner was very prompt about returning correspondence. He was quite knowledgeable and informative in his response.
As a physician, i deal with many attorneys (typical personal injury lawyers), but i found Mr. Turner to be insightful, honest, kind and not pushy. He seems like a very caring individual to me.
If the need arises, i plan on using Mr. Turner again and if someone asks me for a referral in the civil law department, Mr. Turner would in fact get my referral as i do recommend him.

Debi saved by situation. I called 20 lawyers and her office is the only that picked up. Within a couple of days, she learned about the case and prepared all documents. It was a very difficult and urgent case, but Debi solved it very quickly and very efficiently. Hiring her was the best decision that also saved many nights of good sleep.

Having been a lawyer myself for many years here in Orlando, I have had the privilege of knowing Attorney Alex Lopez for a good number of those years. I have recognized the care and concern that he has for his clients, so, when it came about that I and my family needed an attorney for a probate matter there was no question in my mind who I would trust to help us. Alex worked diligently and professionally for us and we couldn't be happier. He moved the case forward through the Courts, keeping us apprised every step of the way and brought the matter to an excellent conclusion without delay. I will continue to recommend my family, friends and clients to Attorney Alex Lopez without any hesitation knowing they will be well taken care of.

Excellent Lawyer!
I had the pleasure of working with Alejandro and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the very beginning, I felt in the hands of a highly skilled professional who was committed to my case. His attention and guidance were invaluable, and he always made sure that I was informed and comfortable with every step of the process.
In addition to his technical ability, Alejandro showed a great commitment to my personal situation and took the time to understand my needs and expectations. He really went the extra mile to help me achieve the results I was looking for, and I am very grateful for that.
I have no doubt in recommending Alejandro to anyone in need of legal services. He is a true professional with a customer-focused approach that makes the whole process as easy as possible. Thanks to him, I was able to successfully resolve my case, and I will always keep him in mind for future legal needs.
Thank you, Alejandro, for your excellent work!

Mr. Petersen is extremely knowledgable in consumer debt collection and consumer collection cases. Hired this attorney for an aggressive debt collector that had incorrectly reported to credit report and was calling continually, violating several laws. He was able to quickly resolve the issue and represent me in the court case. He thoroughly understands and defends consumer rights against these companies that will try to bully you while they knowingly violate laws, and I had utmost confidence in his handling he case. He is on your side as a consumer, and fee structure was very fair. I have hired numerous attorneys over the years for different needs, and for consumer collection and litigation he is the best I've hired, can't recommend enough.

Navigating the tumultuous waters of divorce proceedings across state lines is akin to traversing a legal labyrinth. When my boyfriend found himself embroiled in such a situation—his marital saga spanning South Florida to Pennsylvania, with three children in the balance—the task of finding competent legal representation seemed daunting.
Enter Melissa Alfonso, a beacon of hope amidst the legal quagmire. Hired as the third attorney in our quest for resolution, Melissa immediately distinguished herself through her proactive approach and unwavering commitment to our case.
From the outset, Melissa exhibited a depth of understanding and insight that surpassed our previous experiences. Unlike her predecessors, she didn't just handle the legal paperwork; she immersed herself in our situation, offering invaluable guidance and strategic direction.
Communication, often a sore point in legal matters, became a cornerstone of Melissa's practice. She kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring we were equipped with the knowledge and clarity necessary to navigate the complexities of the legal process.
In a high-conflict scenario exacerbated by the presence of a formidable opponent—a seasoned litigator known colloquially as the "battle axe" of the Seminole County Court—Melissa proved to be an indomitable force. Refusing to be intimidated, she met each challenge head-on, skillfully advocating for my boyfriend's rights with poise and determination.
Even in the face of an initially unfavorable judgment, Melissa's tenacity remained unwavering. Armed with a meticulous understanding of the case and pertinent legal precedents, she crafted a compelling motion, exposing the glaring injustices of the ruling and championing my boyfriend's right to due process.
Though our journey is far from over, Melissa's exceptional advocacy has been nothing short of remarkable. In her capable hands, we find solace amidst the legal storm, confident that justice will ultimately prevail. Melissa Alfonso isn't just an attorney; she's a lifesaver, guiding us through the darkest of legal turbulences with unwavering expertise and compassion.

Hiring and dealing with Mr. Johnathan D. Eichelberger Esq. was truly a great experience. He was always available to answer my questions, and, I even had access to his cellular telephone!!! How many lawyers give you that? He walked me through my legal process step-by-step, and, was able to explain things to me in layman’s terms without issue. His price was reasonable, and, he explained up-front what type of legal advice he would be providing me. I am very happy with Mr. Eichelberger. I would, and will, use him in the future. I will be recommending Mr. Eichelberger to my friends and family!!!

After months of trying to negotiate with my creditor- who refused to budge on their demands-they had added on $2,700 to the original debt for late fees. I could not pay what they were asking- if I could, I would have paid it to begin with. They finally filed to take me to court. I tried to mediate, but they refused and said they would seek judgement. I was in tears. I had just so happened to receive a letter from Bryan the day before offering his service. Something told me to contact Bryan. I am so thankful I did. Brian and his Mom were so helpful in explaining everything and listening to my problem. For a VERY reasonable fee Bryan got the collector to completely dismiss the debt. I owed nothing! And they agreed to remove it from my credit report too! God was watching out for me when he sent me to Bryan. Such a nice, honest man willing to listen and help. I would not recommend any other lawyer.

Attorney Dangler exceeded my expectations. After both consulting with another firm and failing to take care of my debt lawsuit on my own, Mr. Dangler was able to have the case dismissed and I didn't have to pay anything to the debt collector.
Attorney Dangler maintained constant contact with me during the duration of my case, even going so far as to give me a congratulatory phone call when my son was accepted into college. He was very knowledge, blunt in in terms of which solutions were realistic, and guided me through the steps he took during the case in an effort to further educate me on the issues.
Should I need any help or advice when it comes to anything relating to debt, whether or not I absolutely need an attorney, I will be sure to contact Mr. Dangler to at least gain his insight into my options.

I was feeling ashamed, overwhelmed & bewildered by my credit & debt situation. Especially since I had walked away from a large salary & very successful career just a few years ago to pursue more meaningful, personally fulfilling creative endeavors. With every month I had to pay out enormous minimum payments, the guilt and doubt racked up as well, making me feel like a failure.
I knew I had to do something but frankly I was scared to take any kind of action. I was stuck, frustrated, misinformed, not totally understanding my options or even who to trust to help me.
I found Shante's site and after reading I posted a question about bankruptcy.
I'm so glad that I reached out to her - Since day one she's being nothing but helpful, caring and extremely professional. More than a lawyer she's like a friend. She helped me with the process and was always there for any questions I had. She's very understanding, caring and a big life changer, I will say. Thanks to Shante I can finally sleep and have less stress. I will recommend her to any family member, friend, colleague etc... Shante I must say you are and extraordinary person and I'm very thankful for all you did for me.Thank You

I don't typically write reviews unless a product or service is indeed remarkably horrible or excellent. I can say with confidence that Mr. Nazareth is an A+ outstanding attorney. He and his staff handled my case expeditiously and removed a tremendous burden from my shoulders. After interviewing several lawyers to handle my foreclosure defense, I decided I would be better off answering the court summons myself. With only 3 days remaining until the answer was due, I met with Mr. Nazareth and felt that I could actually trust him to do the best job. He intentionally listened to my case and never made me feel pressured in any way to employ his services. His rate was extremely fair and he did not charge anything extra to rush the case. The answer he provided the court on my behalf was top notch. I believe he will continue to effectively defend my interests before the court. His staff is very personable and speaks very highly of him. His website is a wealth of knowledge and I found it to be very informative. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with his law firm and will definitely utilize his services in the future should I need them.

I just went through personal hardship, and called 4 attorneys before a friend told me how wonderful her experience was with attorney Archer.
All lawyers wanted more money than I could afford to help me with a few personal items and contracts.
Attorney Archer spent the time with me to explain everything I needed to know and helped me with a rate that was more than reasonable and about 1/4 of what other firms were quoting.
She is a very good person, extremely knowledgable and someone I would recommend to close family.

Attorney Roberto Santoni exceeded my expectations in forming my business and handling my legal matters. He was available when I had questions, and took the time to explain each step in the process. I was so impressed with him that I asked him to be a speaker at a referral group I facilitate. His legal knowledge was excellent but more so his ability to relate to the "non lawyer" was superior! He has a new way of doing business that will change how we do business! I highly recommend jumping on board with Roberto Santoni without hesitation!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Melanie Branch, who was my divorce attorney. My divorce after a 23-year marriage was very contentious and my ex-spouse wouldn't be reasonable at all, so after a process lasting more than 2 years (outside of our control due to the antics of my ex-husband), I had to have a full divorce trial. Melanie was utterly amazing at my trial. She had so much paperwork, many binders, all perfectly organized in detail and seemingly memorized. I was an emotional mess trying to hold it together, having never gone through anything like this before, and Melanie made everything look smooth and effortless. She fought hard for me on the most nerve-wracking day of my life, and even corrected errors made by my ex-spouse and opposing counsel. I couldn't be happier with Melanie's representation of me, it was impressive. I HIGHLY recommend her firm, Ghantous & Branch, and will always be grateful I chose Melanie Branch to represent me.

Además esta reclamación a mi seguro de auto por gastos médicos aumentó mi póliza 165 $/ mes a más de 390 / mes.

A Tribute to an Extraordinary Criminal Lawyer, Vincent Citro Attorney at Law
My wife and I would like to personally thank Mr. Vincent Citro for representing our son, saving his life, and our family.
When our son was falsely accused of a crime he did not commit, our world came crashing down. The weight of the accusations and the fear of an uncertain future were unbearable. Just when all seemed hopeless, we found the lawyer who would not only save our son’s life but restore our faith in the judicial system. His name is Vince Citro.
Mr. Citro, this remarkable criminal attorney, is nothing short of brilliant. From the moment he took on our case, it was clear that we were in the hands of someone extraordinary. His dedication, passion, and unwavering belief in our son's innocence were evident in every action he took.
When others saw no way out, he devised a brilliant legal strategy that turned the case around. His meticulous attention to detail, deep understanding of the law, and ability to think several steps ahead were instrumental in dismantling the false accusations against our son.
But what truly sets Mr. Citro apart is not just his unparalleled legal expertise, but also his compassion. He treated us with the utmost respect and care, keeping us informed and involved. He was not just our lawyer; he became our champion, our advocate, and our beacon of hope.
Thanks to his tireless efforts, our son was fully exonerated, and we have our lives back. It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Citro saved our son’s life, and for that, we will be eternally grateful. He is, without a doubt, one of the best criminal attorneys in the nation. If you ever find yourself in need of a defender of justice, look no further. This man is not just a lawyer; he is a hero.

David Meek is an absolute godsend and I am ever so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with him!! From the moment I got in contact with him, I knew I was in the best of hands. I have such a small business, and this was the first time I ever needed this kind of help, so you could imagine how nervous and worried I was! I am just small fries, but David never made me feel that way, which I appreciated so much. He kept me sane, updated, and was always responsive, polite, and informative. He was fantastic at presenting me my options, and he handled things perfectly!! He KNOWS his stuff, and thanks to him I got an even better result expected. If you have a small business, you would be so lucky to have David on your side and all of the Losey Law team!! Thank you again, 15/10!!!!

I am very displeased with John Crone. I hired him in 2022 to take on a probate case and have been disappointed with the lack of communication. I have been trying to run him down only to get brushed off every time. I have emails stating that due to the amount of assets my father has this would be a couple month long case. I have been so stressed out due to lack of communication and being in the dark about everything that I have started seeking therapy. I go through the reviews and notice that those that are very pleased with his work have the opposite ethnicity of me. I want to put into perspective that he was paid up front exactly what he asked for and has been dragging my case for almost 2 years. He says my case is unique and promises to get back with information and never does. This has added unbelievable stress to me. I would not recommend him to any African American people. This already bad situation has gotten worse. I pray he finally gets back to me because it does not take months and months to answer questions or acknowledge my concerns.

Gwen is an exceptional human. She is incredibly smart, offering clear, strategic advice that made navigating my legal issues much easier. Her direct approach is refreshing; she doesn't sugarcoat things, which helped me understand the realities of my case and set realistic expectations.
What truly sets her apart is her responsiveness—she always made time to answer my questions, often getting back to me quicker than I expected. Despite her efficiency, she never compromised on kindness. Throughout the process, she was empathetic and supportive, making me feel valued and understood. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate on my side. Highly recommended!

Ms. Shea Fugate is the absolute best. I was really struggling with applying for my SSDI. I was lucky enough to be given her name from a lawyer friend of mine. She got back to me super fast after I called her office. She is so friendly and spoke to me with genuine concern and in a way that I easily understood what was going to happen. Any time I had a question, she was available. Not surprisingly, the dealing with the government took a while. But she saw it through and got my benefits for me. Would absolutely highly recommend.

This lawyer is the absolute worst. DON'T expect to get anything done in a timely manner. They will always miss your appointment time and it is incredibly hard to even talk to the lawyer. You will call, the assistant will tell you that she will get back to you, and she never does. It's a borderline scam. I would recommend going elsewhere with lawyers that have more professionalism.

First, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to you for making the decision to take our case literally the last minute. When I received your message that you would, indeed, take my case I felt relieved, as you are known as one of the top lawyers in this field of law. From day one, I knew that we had a chance at winning this thing, and fortunately for us, this proved to be true.

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.
