After calling several other bankruptcy offices, Mr. Magauran was the only lawyer that seemed to have my best interests in mind. He gave me free advice regarding my financial situation and I ultimately did not have to file for bankruptcy. When other attorneys in town were trying to sell me on their services, Mr. Magauran was ensuring whether his services were actually necessary. He may not have made any money from helping me, but I certainly intend to repay him by referring others to him. He's also a very approachable and down to earth kind of guy. I highly recommend him to anyone having financial difficulties. ---On a side note, whoever this "Paul W." person is that posted on 9/27/13, I think that it is simply a bunch of malarkey. I honestly think that he is most likely a competitor attempting to dissuade others from Mr. Magauran's services. If you look at his profile, you will see only three reviews dating back to 2010 and they are all negative. In internet terminology I believe the word is "troll". Please don't let this harsh review dissuade anyone. I had a great experience with Mr. Magauran.

he is a very strange person. i hired him to help me, but realized that if i went with him i'll hurt my own bankruptcy case because he didn't seem to look out for my best interest so i fired him and hired another lawyer. when i asked for a refund, he kept almost half of the money i paid him because he said he spent some time on my case already which i think is bull, but that's what they will all say right? that's not what was weird... whats strange and weird is that he told me that it'll cost him a stamp to mail me a check for my refund so he'll need to deduct that from my refund and it'll show on the check. who does that? after he did that, i was sure i made the correct decision to FIRE him. i felt that he is talking all strange and sounding like he will not do what's in my best interest so i thought about it for a few nights in regard to switching lawyers. when i decided to actually do it, i was hoping that this decision will not be something that i'll regret, but i knew i did the right thing when he actually charged me for the stamp he'll need to use to send me the refund. i didn't even know if i should be upset or what, but i ended up laughing and was definitely relieved that he is no longer representing me. changing lawyer is expensive and at that time, i really had no money and certainly can't afford to, but after hiring him, i really felt that it is in my best interest to fire him and hire someone else so i actually had to borrow more money to make the switch and to cover what edward charged me (about 1/2 of the case fee i already paid him and that stamp). he was charging the cheapest and i couldn't afford a better attorney so i originally went with him, but he was really strange and made me feel scared about filing for bankruptcy so i knew i should just borrow money and make the switch.

Van and Raymond are very knowledgeable. They are well versed when it comes to mortgage modifications. If I need to take action, I will definitely be using their services
