Mr Anderson is an excellent communicator who helped my wife and I through a difficult bankruptcy case. Our prior legal counsel was no match for an aggressive trustee attorney, but Mr Anderson rescued our retirement fund through careful, tireless dedication, working many hours to help us rebut the Trustee in court. His significant knowledge base and skill set in bankruptcy court helped dig us out of a deep dark hole. We will forever be thankful that we had Mr Anderson to help and represent us.

Brad Folsom is an excellent attorney. He has a wide area of expertise with his law practice but has generally represented us with various real estate matters. Brad has a unique ability to solve problems and move the issue along for resolution. He adopts the least cost resolution model in that he is sensitive to time, cost, and the the ultimate goal of the transaction. I highly recommend Brad as an attorney and would think that you would be very pleased with his service.

Our attorney helped us a lot and guided us when we were going through bankruptcy. Whenever the lender gave us the hard time, we call him up and tell him the situation. He would then make a phone a call to the lender or advice us what to do. Thru experience, we made so much phone calls and make complaints but didn't do anything until our Attorney will do the phone call. Yap! to make my story short, It's better to have an attorney to represent you. I was so happy that i was finally done with my case thru the help of our attorney.I would strongly recommend Van -Alan Shima to stand by you.

Having to file for bankruptcy was something I had never imagined having to do, ever. But when life throws you curveballs in succession, being homeless as a single father of two children is not an option. The feeling of failure was overwhelming and I needed a professional to get me through the legal process. Van Shima was professional and caring throughout the entire process. I was able to easily contact him whenever I had any questions, and his office is conveniently located in downtown Honolulu. I never felt rushed or pressured by him, and always felt he treated me as a person and not just a number. Great with follow ups, and always available to clarify anything. I would strongly recommend Van Shima to anyone who may be in a similar situation that I was in. An excellent choice.

I had the pleasure of working with Dan for several incidents: The first was with our landlord who was being unresponsive on our 8+ service requests that had not been responded to for over 2 months. Dan offered advice on the best way to get both the landlord and management company to respond and it worked really well! We had people fixing up our rental house within 48 hours! The second time was when we wanted to end our lease early. Again, Dan offered advice on the best way to go about this and we were able to satisfactorily end our lease without extra charges. The third time was when we needed to get our deposit back from our rental company. Dan advised how to approach the landlord and management company and we were able to recover our entire deposit! Dan's positive, can-do attitude made him a pleasure to work with and helped get us results. Thank you sir!

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 called Nadine at the last minute, on the Thursday before Good Friday (a holiday), to help me with a situation that I felt was quickly sliding away from me. She dropped what she was doing, asked me come to her office, sat with me for a short time and explained to me what she recommended as the next course of action. I agreed with her and she immediately took action. During negotiations with the other attorneys, she kept and continues to keep me updated. I have never had to use an attorney before and was so nervous about the entire experience. She was very focused and calming. I hope I never need to use her again, but if I ever wind up in a situation where I may need legal advice, I would definitely call her before I called anyone else.

Mr. Dresslove Law absolutely deserves me taking the time to write a TOP NOTCH 5-STAR review. Mr. Dresslove went above and beyond to help us address a community conflict and took his time in a FREE consult. He knows the laws, speaks with confidence and excellence, and has integrity; not once did we feel rushed with our questions or concerns. Our time with him was face-to-face and on a reserved holiday. Did I mention that this was a free consultation where he took the time out of his busy day to consult with strangers that needed help? We are veterans of the Armed Forces and very grateful for Mr. Dresslove's attention to detail and the encouragement to help the "underdogs" in a civilian matter. He is straight to the point, will not waste your time, and speaks Truth! You will leave his office feeling confident and comfortable that he understands your issue and knows how to help by offering many suggestions, resolutions, and alternatives for all outcomes. DON'T DELAY! We did the research/groundwork for an incredible lawyer that's got your back and has a true gift, talent, and skill set to get the job done. Thank you, Mr. Dresslove, for treating us as human beings, not just as business transactions. We appreciate your kindness and pray it returns to you tenfold. We will pay it forward by word of mouth, no doubt!

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!

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

Being in this legal situation was nerve wrecking for me and in my situation I had lost hope of any possible solution. David gave me peace of mind and ensured we took care of every detail. Now I am free from a dreadful an exhausting legal battle thanks to him. He is knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate.

He thoroughly researched details and laws and helped me understand them with patience. He was honest about the pros and cons about the case which was refreshing.

Mrs Gardner took care of our bankruptcy. She was extremely knowledgable in both the chapter 7 and 13 and helped me to figure out which one was the best at helping our family. She was even able to get 2 mortgage liens stripped because my house was no longer worth the amount of the two equity loans. She was wonderful at making us feel comfortable and always quick at replying to our emails or calling us back when we had questions. I stopped in the office to get her help with out an appointment when I was panicked over my husband having his clearance taken because of our financial problems and she brought me right into her office and wrote a letter for us and made copies of paperwork for us and calmed me down as she worked with her scheduled clients in other offices.

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.
