I have hired Johnathan twice over the past couple of years. Johnathan is very supportive and understanding. He takes time to listen. He provides clear and thorough explanations of all options and is transparent in his recommendations. Johnathan is honest and straightforward. He truly cares about justice and equity and will advocate with persistent tenacity on behalf of his clients. I recommend Jonathan as a lawyer for employment, labor, business, and real estate matters. I would also recommend Johnathan as a resource for any other legal needs. He is very knowledgeable and provides sound and reliable advice.

My husband and I hired Jonathan after having a dispute with a contractor. This was the first time either one of us had ever hired a lawyer. Jonathan was highly recommended by a colleague and we immediately understood why. I texted him requesting urgent help on a Thursday night as our issue was time sensitive. He responded that evening and by Friday morning, we had hired him. He was able to efficiently gather enough information to start addressing our urgent concern that Friday afternoon. Within the week, our situation was resolved to our satisfaction. His responsiveness and professionalism was outstanding. He helped set expectations and educate us. He was upfront about expected costs for our case and when we ended up exceeding that, he honored his initial quote. We are in the middle of an adoption and he told us to take the difference of the quote and actual cost of his services and apply it towards the adoption. It was not expected and he certainly was not obligated to do this but was greatly appreciated. If we ever need a lawyer again, we will not hesitate to reach out. I have already provided his information to another co-worker.

My job was eliminated after 18 yrs. I was 1 of 3 over age 60 eliminated. Since there were new employees and less seniority employees , i felt i was let go unfairly with age discrimination. Jonathan fought for a new severance contract against the medical corporation and won. He achieved double the severance i was offered per "their protocol" that was unfair. Jonathan was kind, calm, explained what i didnt understand ( which was most legal terminology!) And worked with me as my own advocate. Advising and suggesting. Timely , tenacious ( did not let down his drive to succeed in our goal.) Smart , timely, direct. I consulted and hired him within 2 days of losing my job. Highly recommend Jonathan.

Andrea helped me in many legal matters. She is my attorney to go to. Thank you so much Andrea!

10 Feb, 2016 by Rochelle

Andrea is a very knowledgeable respectful lawyer. She was there to help me in one of the most difficult times of my life. She helped explain the legal process and describe our "best case scenario". Andrea took the time to settle my nerves, responded quickly to my emails, and had my best interests at heart. Together with our heads held high, we walked out of the court room knowing WE WON! Here we are one year later, and everything Andrea said "would happen" has happened and it was for the best. I would highly recommend Andrea for anyone needing legal assistance.

Ms. Von Hoff represented my divorce in a very professional and well prepared manner. She was always on time and gave clear guidance in the manner to proceed with my divorce. Time sensitive correspondence was received from her office in short order. The outcome of my divorce was as well as could be expected given my personal circumstances. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is seeking a divorce.

My experience with Larraine was very positive. I hired her to fight for me in order to save my home from foreclosure. Her professional approach dealing with my case gave me confidence and assurance we were going to win. We did win. She stopped the foreclosure and worked out a deal I'm very happy with. Today, my family and I are in our home thanks to her efforts and professional work. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional lawyer ready to fight for you.

14 Dec, 2015 by Susan joyce

Larraine is one of the most amazing women I've ever met. She is so motivating when I'm down. She gives me hope and confidence that we will be triumphant when we finally get to court in March. I can't say enough about this spectacular woman. She is small in size but big in personality and intelligence. I know that she will win my case and that we both will make history when it is all said and done. I feel that my story, and Larraine as my attorney, would make a great 20/20 episode or even 60 minutes. I feel proud to have her represent me!

We had gone through a foreclosure process with our bank over three years ago when the bank dismissed the case. After almost a year and a half with no word the bank filed again. We had received a "mailer" advertising this attorney and contacted her two days before needing a response for the courts. After only two months of being clients we have now been given a deal of a lifetime from our bank through mediation. The stress of dealing with Monster Mega Banks is no longer a concern and we are now able to stay in our home. She has truly been blessed and so have we

I found Steve to be personal and professional simultaneously. This is a feat for most of us, with lawyers being either one or the other and often neither. Steve was focused on my case and successfully found a Chapter 7 solution when the means test made it look improbable. Steve didn't "sugar coat" the situation, and was very upfront even when he had to say something I didn't necessarily want to hear. There were no "suprises" along the way. Steve was able to mitigate the stress level associated with bankruptcy; which was a tremendous help. From the standpoint of value, Steve's fees were very reasonable especially considering the level of responsiveness, personal service and results provided. I didn't feel like I was part of a "bankruptcy mill" or being given only cursory attention. In part, I believe, that this is because Steve is a single lawyer firm....bigger isn't always better. I highly recommend Steve!

25 Nov, 2013 by Adrian

Mr. Cotter was able to file a chapter 7 without issues when other bankruptcy lawyers thought it wasn't possible due to the means test. He did not give up when there was clearly a need for bankruptcy protection and researched all aspects of the law to find a solution. If it wasn't for his excellent research skills my financial situation would be very bleak indeed.

5.0 star rating 11/19/2013 First to Review I speak to the people who are looking for an attorney who is able to first of all be honest and give an accurate evaluation of your money being spent wisely. We then spoke about how things would play out in the amount of court time, phone calls (BILLED IN QUARTERLY BY THE HOUR) and one on one office strategy meetings. Attorney Cotter before taking one dollar from me, sent me to a tax advisor to see if i would be responsible for the liability if we lost the case. I had seen two other attorneys all saying I had no chance of WINNING, Attorney Cotter saw a posibility and he won my day. He is on his own with a wealth of knowledge and I think this was a key to the success. If you seek one on one personal service and do not care to be a part of the lawyer factory, I am on a 4 month holiday and that is as good as it gets! GOOD LUCK who ever you choose. 5.0 star rating 11/19/2013 First to Review

Atty Gauthier explained my options very clearly during our very first phone conversation. After that the staff members that I worked with were outstanding. I even made a point to telling them how much I appreciated their patience and help. I have recommended his services to others.

18 Feb, 2015 by Anonymous

My house was in foreclosure and I didn't know what to do. I talked to several attorneys who pretty much told me there was nothing I could do. Mark actually took the time to speak with to come up with a solution. I was approved for a mortgage modification and my family and I are still in the house. I would definitely recommend this attorney to anyone in the same situation.

Greg was extremely knowledgeable in bankruptcy law. Anytime I had a question he called me back the same day, even if it was a question he probably got a100 times. He is honest, polite, and friendly. Yes, I did use the word honest something you normally don't hear in the same sentence with attorney/lawyer. :)

21 Mar, 2016 by Anonymous

As first time going through bankruptcy we were not sure what to expect from the process much less who to trust. Greg explained each step and all fees involved before we even hired him. During the process he was always quick answer our calls and kept us informed all along the way. Never made us feel bad just always there to answer our questions. He even sent us all the necessary info needed for what to do after the bankruptcy was finished. From the beginning he was ethical trustworthy and very competent. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal help!

I had my finances and stuff in a mess from being in an accident. greg helped dicuss with me what the best options would be for me filing bankruptcy and helped explain every step of the way.

If I have any questions or small requests for paperwork. He is always happy to help me with what is needed. Very great job.

I struggled for years with the concept of beginning the bankruptcy process. I wish I had consulted with William sooner than I did!

Most importantly I was given peace of mind throughout the experience and was very thankful for that.

I had a legal sitution that festered for over five years. Complicating the matter was that I received a judgement in another state and my opponent sought to evade payment in Wisconsin. This mattered little to Mr. Thill. He quickly registered our judgement in Wisconsin and began proceedings. What impressed me the most was that Mr. Thill kept at it no matter what my opponent attempted, tried, or said. Equally impressive was that Mr. Thill kept me informed every step of the way and often asked for my input. If you are in a needs collection situation I would highly reccomend Brian Thill. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

20 May, 2015 by Anonymous

I had recently had an unfortunate matter involving property and family. Sadly the situation could not be resloved without the need for legal intervention. Attorney Brian Thill provided me with uncompromising professionalism, compassion, and impressive legal knowledge. He always kept me informed, and I never felt as though I was "out of the loop". The outcome of the matter was succsessful One can never really claim a "win" in such a situation, but Attorney Thill did a remarkable job of being able to make myself financially whole, while limiting the harm to the contra party. A fine line which few can walk.

Susan LaCava is such an advocate for the home owner! When my bank tried to grab my house with an escrow scam, Susan’s skill and experience made a huge difference when negotiating a settlement. She knows when to push hard and when to settle. She saved my home. And, while this was an extremely stressful time, I must admit that it was amusing to watch her train the pompous corporate attorney that worked for the bank.

I had a lot of credit card debt, and I managed to pay every month, but I could never get ahead. When my income went down during the pandemic, I knew I was a hare's breath from having my debt overwhelm me. As a responsible person, I was embarrassed and scared about filing for bankruptcy. The decision to file was hard, but, with Kirk's help, actually filing was MUCH easier than I ever could have hoped. My initial contact was with another lawyer at his firm, but I was assigned to Kirk for my first meeting. He is calm, funny, non-judgmental, efficient and absolutely reassuring. From the first meeting where we discussed my financial situation, he made me feel I was making the right decision. He told me what was going to happen and what records I needed to provide. He always answered my questions quickly, and I know he did a LOT of work on his end to make my Chapter 7 bankruptcy happen. I really trust him - he's dedicated to providing good service and doing the job right. If you're considering bankruptcy to discharge debt, but you're scared of what it will take, talk to Kirk. My bankruptcy is now filed, the price was very reasonable, my house is still mine, and I feel like I have my life back. I really can't recommend Kirk highly enough.

We had a fantastic experience working with Lotfi Legal regarding our immigration process! I came to our initial consultation with a complex situation and many questions after having done my own extensive research. Atty Fuchs found a path through to meet our goals that we didn't realize was available to us, which ultimately saved us many years and thousands of dollars compared to paths other attorneys were recommending. We worked together to file our applications quickly and were lucky to have full resolution of our case in a short timeframe. We couldn't be more grateful! It can be difficult to know who to trust regarding immigrations concerns and I cannot recommend Lotfi enough.

Shabnam Lotfi and her team appeared in our lives when all hope seemed lost for our Petition for Alien Relative case.

After twice being denied by disability application. Both my son, and I turned to Wade Pittman. What we needed was Honesty, the knowledge, and the expertise to have our questions answered so we could understand. Wade explained clearly in detail , he was very friendly, and our questions were answered. Wade always welcomed us in person as the office Highly Recommend.

04 Sep, 2019 by Anonymous

When I first began looking for legal representation, I was upfront about my extraordinary circumstances. The dozen or so attorneys I contacted either ignored me, referred me elsewhere or told me I didn't qualify. Attorney Wade Pittman responded quickly and assured me I had access to the financial protections I needed. With Wade's knowledge and insight I was able to protect what I worked hard to earn, dismiss my case early and secure enough funds to get back on my feet. Wade always treated me like a priority and responded quickly to every message. He understands the statutes like he wrote them himself. Call him now. You worked hard for what you have and Wade will go to bat and guide you through the legal protection you deserve.

19 Jan, 2018 by Monte

Wade is outstanding. I contacted him in total panic. He completely reassured me and had our bankruptcy case filed within three weeks of contacting him. Much of that time was merely getting my own paperwork in order. I plan on keeping him on speed dial for any future legal needs. Highly recommend.

He answered all our questions thoroughly, responded to our calls and emails almost immediately, and always took his time during our office visits to ensure we understood everything.

Ben Wright was a great help for information on Medicaid and how trusts work.

He also had a lot of suggestions and questions for us. I highly recommend him for anyone who is trying to apply for Medicaid or if you have questions or even if you are denied to see if you can appeal. He is very friendly and knowledgable.

First let me say Deborah was so kind to take my phone call on a Saturday morning and I was just calling to leave her a message. Deborah displays excellent customer service and satisfaction, she is kind and patient with every question that I need answered and I can always hear and feel a warm smile on the other end of the phone. I am in awe of her talent, compassion and commitment to those she services. I am always reassured that my decision to file bankruptcy, chapter 13 was the right decision for me and putting my financial rebuild in the capable hands of Attorney Deborah Stencel at Miller & Miller law offices.

I picked her based on the reviews, but If I could redo this process, I certainly would and wouldn't choose this attorney for something this important and life-altering. She was evasive, not very informative, and since working with her, I am no more informed than I was prior to hiring Deborah. She rarely responds to correspondences too, even with the various modes of communication these days. There seemed to be a correlation between the timeliness of her responses versus getting payment. After receiving payment, she was difficult to make contact with. I regret hiring her for something so important.

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.

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.
