I have worked with Chris, we have referred one another cases, and I have reached out to him for guidance on cases over the years. Chris is an excellent lawyer. I would not hesitate to send clients his way, as I know they would be well represented by him and his firm.

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.

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.

Attorney Malenfant was a absolute joy to work with during these trying times. He worked diligently through my case and was on top of everything in the most efficient manner. His paralegal Lindsey was a absolute joy as well. She ensured that I was kept up to date on any proceedings and assisted me with anything that I was not understanding. If she didn't know the answer she ensured that she either got the answer quickly or had Attorney Malenfant reach out to me to answer my question. I hope I never have to go through a Family law matter again but if I do I will absolutely be reaching out to Attorney Malenfant and Lindsey.

I had the privilege of working with Alison Lopes for my divorce, child support, marriage settlement, and house-related matters, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate, making an incredibly challenging time much easier to navigate. Alison fought hard for my rights and ensured that my voice was heard throughout the entire process. Her strategic approach to handling the marriage settlement and child support arrangements was outstanding, and I always felt confident knowing she had my best interests in mind. Alison is a skilled negotiator who worked tirelessly to ensure I received a fair and just outcome. I am truly grateful for her dedication and expertise. If you need a lawyer who will stand up for you and fight for your rights, Alison Lopes is the one to trust.

I had a warrant for these past 6 years and many people said they couldn’t get the warrant off, or I had to surrender, well.. she got it off. With a reasonable plea deal. She is top notch and knows her stuff. O would recommend to anyone with a case in Florida, or if she’s willing, out of state. Great lawyer and a great lady and person in general, with reasonable prices. Highly recommend to anyone who needs an attorney to turn their life around.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

He was helpful, trustworthy and professional!! I will certainly be back and I will only recommend Daniel! Elkins and Freedman are the best in the business!!! Thank you Daniel for all your help!!!

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. We realize that this was not the easiest case to win, and that you were required to spend long hours preparing for one of the most difficult business challenges we’ve had to personally overcome. It is for this that we thank you. You treated us just as well, if not better, than your more prestigious clients. In fact, I was not prepared for the kindness and consideration I received from you and your great staff. It was not all “business” with you, it was something more personal. This made me feel secure in you handling our case. We saw the light of day and won by all standards. Jeff was absolutely “Awesome”, I would take him into any battle without hesitation! Your dedication, your attention to detail and diligence made this all possible. Thanks to your expertise and prowess, our case not only You and your staff believed in me and my situation, and did not leave my side, but remained steadfast through it all, even when it did not look promising. Thank you for not only being my lawyer, but also my friend through this. Tyrone and Adriene Nabbie

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. Bob and Sandy

I had the privilege of working with Hale on my high-conflict case, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and expertise. I was in a situation where I felt hopeless as a single father, but Hale stepped in midway and completely changed the course of my case. From the start, he took the time to listen to my concerns and explained everything with clarity. His knowledge of the law is unmatched, and he was incredibly transparent throughout the entire process. He doesn’t treat you like just another client; he makes you feel like family, and you can tell he’s genuinely committed to fighting for you. When it came time for trial, Hale’s confidence and expertise were on full display. Watching him in action was nothing short of impressive. He set realistic expectations from the beginning, and everything he said would happen, did. No false promises, just honest, diligent work. If you're in need of a lawyer who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about your case, Hale is the one you want. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a trusted attorney to take their case all the way to trial.

I’m writing this as a warning for special needs parents who are looking for legal help. We contacted Shay almost two years ago, needing help with a special needs trust and a birth certificate issue. She said she could handle both for us and we paid 3k up front. During the next 18 months, we had to consistently call her office for updates regarding the trust. It took over a year for her to finish writing it, and then when we finally received it, we found she had written the wrong name down for guardianship. A big error! As for the birth certificate issue, it never got fixed. We would call her office every few weeks for an update. But finally, we just stopped calling and we haven’t heard from her in over 6 months. This entire experience was horrible for us! I’m shocked that her rating is as high as it is on here… We paid her 3k and baaarely got half of what was promised.

Having never been involved in a legal action, we were hesitant to seek assistance when our insurance company flatly denied our claim, after our roof was damaged in a hail storm. Marc Jandy and Para Professional Tracy were professional, courteous, patient and effective. The process was thoroughly explained, and all of our questions and concerns were answered. We had easy access to Mr. Jandy, and he was quickly responsive when we had questions. The process went smoothly, and the outcome was achieved in a shorter time than expected, and beyond what we had hoped it could be. We strongly recommend The Insurance Dispute Law Group if you are facing a similar situation. Terry M.

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.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
