Otto is the best law attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. I would highly recommend him.

Robert navigated us through our home sale and helped us avoid complications with contractors. He frequently emailed us updates and worked tirelessly to ensure the transaction closed on the scheduled date, despite delays out of our control. Robert was one of the only sure things we could count on in a complicated transaction with too many moving parts.

I hired Attorney Feldman in Dec. 2017 to help with with a unique and sensitive rental property dispute. The whole situation was extremely stressful for me (especially around the holidays) but Attorney Feldman kept his cool, managed a very tense and adversarial dispute between me and the other party, and ultimately got me the desired result (refund) within a matter of approximately one week. He even responded to some of my emails after hours around the holidays when I wasn’t expecting it (I was amazed). Atty. Feldman, if you’re seeing this, thank you so much for everything you did to help bring my matter to a positive end result. You were immensely helpful when I was pulling my hair out...lol. Next time I sign any lease I’m going to hire you to at least give it a once over and advise me accordingly-it would totally be worth it to avoid future rental debacles.

I received Mr. Feldman's name after contacting ACAP. I called ACAP because I felt suspicious of the lawyer I hired as my personal representative attorney who was one in the same my dad hired to do his will.
I hired Robert to assist me after our initial telephone consultation. I gave him may areas in which I needed clarification and promised my speed to get through the probate process.
My brother subsequently hired Robert for a real estate closing.
Robert educated me on the various steps of probate, answered layperson questions and was quick to respond to calls and emails.

talked to Jason about a case and paid him for the consultation time and a response for my case. He gave me a flat rate for the case if i were to hire him for the court. Months later, after the court set up a trial date and i had some stuff from the plaintiff mailed to his office, i went back to see him, he question why i had some stuff from the plaintiff mailed to him so i told him i was going to have him represent me, but he just said there was a great chance of winning for my chance and i can handle it by myself. So at that time he had no interest of taking my case after the consultation because he believed I can win. He has really bad workmanship, if you going to give someone a flat rate for the case, you should get it done right from start to finish. And during all the time i tried to call him, either no one answered the phone or you leave a message with the front desk person about the issue, but you never receive a call back within 48 hours, it was more than a week. He finally called back because I had to call the office every day asking for me. Their office is really bad at returning calls. And one more thing, 8 out of 10 times that i called the office, no one picked up the phone and went to voicemail, but when i blocked my number before i called, someone picked it up. So you can figure it out what's going on. definitely don't hire this lawyer if you expect someone to stay on top of your issue and return your call within 24 hours.

I would say that my experience was very good with Wells Law and Realty. Your office was able to change what could have been and likely would have been a highly stressful situation to one where I could push it to the back of my mind having confidence it was being taken care of. I felt like all of the staff were respectful, honest, and diligent. I appreciate being given regular e-mail updates on what was happening with the property. Although there were many setbacks in the sale of my property, I was given honest and timely updates. I attribute the successful sale to the diligence your office made in getting appropriate offers and in your persistence in negotiating with the lenders. Thank you for a great experience. I would highly recommend Wells Law and Realty to others.

Our home in the Scottsdale Los Gatos neighborhood was sold in 2012 through Short Sale.
Wells Realty & Law Group represented our interests, advocated on our behalf, and were trusted advisors during the often surreal, emotionally exhausting Short Sale experience.
We greatly appreciated the online process and the responsiveness of the team. We highly recommend the Wells Group .

The best decision I ever made was to hire Brian's office as my attorney in my home loan modification case. They have work very hard to keep me in my home and have won my foreclosure case. They keep fighting to keep me in my home and I appreciate everything they do for me. I would recommend them to anyone in my situation.

Attorney Matthew Lindblom entered my life in 2016 when I transferred a contractual lawsuit from one state (where I won my judgment) to another. The lawsuit had been a long, grueling, and punishing event; however, now came the most difficult part of all: collecting my judgment.
I had a consultation with Matt and was impressed with his confidence, intelligence, and ability to communicate in a personal and caring manner. He is thoroughly centered on his clients' words and listens to everything that is said. He will even repeat things in an unobtrusive way to make sure everything is correct and understood.
Matt's practice habits are the same whether he is in court or out of court. His unbelievable preparation is very evident in the motions made and paperwork written which were always presented before the deadline date to the courts. In addition, one of the defendants decided to file for bankruptcy while all of my other court deadlines were being addressed by Matt. So now, he also had a bankruptcy case to prepare.
My case became more laborious here than it had ever been in my previous state, but through it all, Matt's demeanor remained the same. Even during my periods of doubt, he never allowed someone in his office to return my calls; he always returned then himself in a very timely fashion and always calmed my jittery nerves.
Over the past few years, Matt and my family have become friends. Two months ago, my husband and I experienced a family tragedy. As a result, Matt sent us a beautiful plant and still calls us "just to check in."
I would without any hesitation refer Matt as an attorney to my family, friends, neighbors, or anyone needing an honorable, ethical, well-informed, and exceptional attorney.

Matthew Lindblom helped me understand and work through contract resolution.
Matthew is goal oriented and handled my case in a thoughtful, efficient manner. Matthew obtained the necessary information from all parties, worked through the legal issues surrounding the case and eased any concerns that I had about the litigation process.
Matthew is a true asset to SKO and works diligently to produce a positive outcome for his clients.
Matthew is extremely qualified in his area of the law.
I highly recommend Matthew Lindblom for legal services!

I was referred to Dan Kortenhaus . My best friend since kindergartens father is also a local real estate attorney. He was my first call, and when he told me there was someone better than he (after his 50 years of practice) at evictions in Pinellas I was surely skeptical. But I've learned to admit when I am wrong. Dan Kortenhaus knows the system, knows the process, and knows the people involved, and unlike many other attorneys I've dealt with in my life, will give it to you straight. Give him the facts, he'll give you the options, and as anyone that is in that situation, that is exactly what you want. I couldn't recommend him enough , and thank you so much Dan!

I was in a custody/divorce case in 2013/2014 and Susan was my savior during that time. She got back to me in a timely manner when I had questions or information to give her. I was involved in a case involving a newborn baby and false allegations and after a year of little or no contact with my daughter I am now a thriving father of a beautiful little girl and spend half of my time with her. I am a man and for this to have happened after reading nightmare after nightmare of similar cases I am sure that Susan was a vital tool in bring the truth out strategically throughout the process. If you find yourself going through a similar situation in the Fort Myers area I would highly recommend you call Susan and explain to her your situation

After 5 years, 5 attorneys and 25k latter i was blessed to find Mrs. Susan Lorene Ray to take over those useless attorneys that took their time just to profit from my situation and probably never even looked at my file. What all the others attorneys couldn't do in 5 years Susan did in such a little time with excellent results. She is passionate in what she does and treats everyone on her side with so much respect and care ,On the other hand she is very aggressive protecting your interest, Just what i was looking for. When compared to the other 5 attorneys they were not even close to her expertise. when i was at a hearing I had the other attorney tried to intimidate me but Susan came to my rescue and put him in his place, She intimidate me and i was on her side, That was awesome. Anyways don't waste you time around like i did and go straight to the best, trust me you will save money and get the results you deserve. Thanks Susan.

This lawyer took my money and did not provide the service I paid for. He let the case drag on for 2 years and would sometimes take weeks or more to respond to phone calls, and other times would just not respond at all. Ultimately it led to losing my family home. Please steer clear of this lawyer.

Mr.Silva is a fantastic legal representative. He struck the perfect balance of careful research and in depth planning while managing to work around my busy schedule. Meetings with Mr Silva were quick, to the point, and yielded amazing results at my DUI trial.
Mr Silva and his associate came to trial extremely well prepared and delivered a powerful argument against the prosecutions case while fending off an array of accusations that the opposing attorney and police officer attempted to present as fact.
Mr Silva was able to prove my innocence and helped me out of a difficult situation. He is an incredibly skilled lawyer, is very personable, and is very relaxed in his demeanor. It was truly a please having him represent me during this stressful time and I would recommend him for any legal situations that may arise. He is a very talented individual.

He was responsive, energetic and personable in handling the matter, and I would gladly retain him for additional work.

I hire J.Ling on Nov.of 2019 and ended our relationship on April 2020, yes it took that long but she had not file my bankruptcy at all. She came up with so many reasons to justify her ineptitude, it was a mistake on my part when I paid her in full, it made her lazy and not do her job. I asked her twice to give me my file so I could go to another but she has not given it to me, up to this time I still haven't received my file.
Hire this lawyer at your own risk.

Please look at the 1 star google reviews and his responses to his clients. He first list their personal email address then he continues to publicly list the private facts of their cases in an attempt to intimidate his clients to remove their honest review. The truth of the matter is that this firm should be shut down. You have to explain the facts of your case over and over again to every new paralegal you speak to and you will get different information from each if they even respond. The only way you get a chance to speak with the attorney that you paid to retain is if you mention filing a complaint with the Texas Bar. He has called me demanding for asking questions as him and his firm drops the ball multiple times.

I had so much credit card debt from college and starting work that I couldn't qualify for a home loan or even a car loan. I went to them for credit repair but they explained the difference between credit repair and bankruptcy (which totally wiped my slate clean). I was in and out of the process within maybe 4 months total?! Just amazing - Thank you so much!

Leinart filed for me at the last minute and saved my home from foreclosure. Since then, I've been able to catch up on all of my house payments and get rid of all of the credit card debt i accumulated while i was out of work. I'm so thankful for Mr Leinart and everyone at Leinart.

She has also assisted me in business law matters by drafting very specific contracts and has been a diligent and strong advocate on behalf of my business.

Marjorie (Brunelli) DeCastro-Hirsch, Esq. from The Law Offices of DeCastro-Hirsch, P.A. is an amazing lawyer. She was recommended to us because she used to work for the banks, and she knew the tricks they used to screw people. So perhaps we expected too much from the start. She is very personable and likeable. But when we hired her for a foreclosure battle, she was the only person on her staff. She is overworked and underappreciated. That is a shame. I really thought she would fight harder, but the problem was the banks still used the tricks. When I started to ask questions and forgive me, ask for replies, well things went south. She was offended when I wanted to know what was going on with my case. And so my case was settled, the bank made an extra $3000 off me, and so did she. Lesson learned. She is a great attorney, just not a fit for us. She owed me paperwork in the end, and never replied to emails sent. But it is ok. The best thing I can say is that we wanted to hire her to handle another legal matter for us, we went to another law firm and we are happier.

I came to know Ms. Charles through the recommendation of a very satisfied client that had custodial and support needs similar to mine. She was very professional and well versed in the relevant laws. Ms. Charles has tremendous negotiation skills. Her strategy sessions made me feel like my needs were in good hands and I can trust they would be met. I’ve never known another lawyer more prepared or focused. Nothing seems to rattle Ms. Charles or distract her from the goal on a case, which of course, makes her extremely tough to beat. I strongly recommend Ms. Charles for her highly strategic and professional representation.

This letter, testimonial, is to express my satisfaction with the Law office and personal work of attorney Vernita Charles.
My family and I met Ms. Charles at a time when we were in a very stressful situation, with our house being in foreclosure. We had consulted with brokers who weren't always informative or as professional as they should have been. We had already consulted with real estate attorneys who asked for lots money up front, without much of a commitment on their end. People who were very slow in returning emails and phone calls. We were just about at wits end.
Alas, we were referred to the law office of Attorney Vernita Charles. From the very first day we met her we knew we were in good hands. She took charge immediately, with professionalism, courtesy and respect. The confidence that she exhibited gave us a sense of confidence and well being that we had not felt in a long time.
Ms. Charles took us from not being able to afford the monthly mortgage, and being faced with eviction from our home, to a new mortgage that is very affordable for us.
We are now enjoying our house again, looking forward to facing every day with confidence and a sense of security.
Sincerely,
Amir

My disabled boyfriend who had been separated since 2016 but fighting for his life against cancer since sept 2019 was finally well enough to finish his non-contested divorce. He use Zack. Nice man BUT he did not keep his word on anything!! Not only were we charged DOUBLE the max price he quoted but it took SIX months (he told us 45 days) for a divorce that was already filed (wordage was wrong in paperwork) AND he MAILED in the final decree. Everything was LOST in the mail which is why we had to ask WHY it hadn't gotten to the court plus we were charged a second time for him to redo the paperwork he lost, he stated it wasn't his fault!! Well we had instructed him the we would take the paperwork to the courts in the beginning and for him to CC myself on all emails, so nothing would get missed. Neither was done. So one star. Do better!!!!

The Lakeside Improvement Association (the HOA) had filed suit (with a $250K lean on the property) against my 93 year old widowed mother for failure to pay her dues for 3 years and for failing to repair and paint the awning of the front porch! My mother wanted me to try to work out a payment plan with the attorneys for the HOA but they wouldn't respond to my emails! The case got extended a couple of times and then when case actually went to trial, neither the court nor the HOA's attorneys notified my 93 year old mother of the court date until after the trial's date! Therefore judgement was awarded to the HOA for approximately $4K (with a lean on the property for $250K) which my mother could not pay! So we get notice that the Pct. 5 Constables office had seized my 93 year old mother's house (that's been paid off for years) and was going to sale her house under court order! I kept getting the run around from different attorneys, saying the case was too late or too complicated until I talked to Chad! He said he could handle it and he even came out to the house and met my mother! I found out that this type of case is what Mr. Elroy specializes in! I highly recommend him for any type of debt settlement but especially dealing with HOAs!

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.
