Not upholding the signed Letter of Engagement for legal counsel. At another time I'll be more specific.

Matt was able to help our financial situation by providing good counsel representation and strategy thinking. Of course we had to do our part which was a lot of work. I was surprised to see a 1 star rating posted by another client. Appears my 5 star experience is the majority and not an exception. Matt helped us navigate some rough waters and we have been blessed to have had his help. He is a good person and great attorney. Thank you Matt.

Mr Iwama helped us with a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. When we first met him we were impressed by him. He said he could help us renegotiate our debt ( we had a second mortgage, car loan, and a few credit cards). He said that the entire bankruptcy would be 3 years and the payment would be less than $200 a month. He said that we'd have a credit rating over 700 by the time we'd be done. After review we ended up with a 5 year plan and now I'm finding out that even after the 5 years are up I still will owe money! Every time we call him he "suggests" a re-negotiation of our plan (at the cost of $300 bucks and hour). I now wish that I had done my research better and found someone that has an interest in helping people, I am not opposed to lawyers getting $300 dollars an hour but I don't not think he's actively trying to help his clients. Whenever I call his office the conversation is usually filtered through his very nasty secretary. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an attorney to look elsewhere.

This is the second time I have worked with Mr. Iwama. He is a true consumer advocate and is very thorough, kind, knowleadgable and trustworthy. He has an obvious passion for his profession, keeps me informed about the progress of my case and patiently answers my numerous questions. I would recommend Mr. Iwama to anyone looking for a dedicated, competent and compassionate attorney.

Matt Iwama negotiated a short sale of my condo with my bank. The entire process was exactly as he explained in the beginning and he and his staff could not have been more supportive and professional throughout this emotional time in my life. He explained all options to me and I was extremely happy with the outcome. He is a courteous, knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. I will use him for any of my real estate and or legal needs in the future.

I have a Countrywide home loan. With the downturn of economy, I am making a lot less money this year. I found Matt and asked him to look into my Countrywide home loan. I received a loan modification proposal back from Countrywide within 40 days. He helped me with application, documentation, and preparation of my hardship letter. He also help me with the final loan modification paper and even arrange a new title policy supplement which Countrywide needed to modify my loan. Every step, he was there and got this loan modification done. He called Countrywide and made an arrangement for them to interview me, etc. When my loan interest was reduced to 4%, it was a $1,000 per month saving for me. He saved tons of money. I recommend his service to everyone.

Matt did exactly what he said he would do, (helped me get a mortgage modification) in the time period he said it would take him to do it, for the fee he agreed to do it for. It doesn't get any better than that. He is courteous, friendly and helpful. I would work with him again in a heartbeat and recommend him unconditionally.
