I got there a few months ago scared (you know how it goes with doctors and lawyers...), and 4 months later, I'm glad I went with my instincts when I was doing the research and chose them. From the beginning they treated me with respect, and understanding that I was a first timer in my situation, they took the time to fully explain to me what I was getting myself into and what my options were. Everything went smooth, like I'd never imagined, their communication was great, and finally, I've got what I paid for, which I believe it was very competitive price to begin with. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. read more

The firm failed to inform me when my retainer was exhausted and charged me hundreds of dollars in excess for the simple task of setting up an LLC. I did not appreciate pay per email fee structure, paying for the attorney to do research to answer basic questions, or paying for the paralegal to sit on hold with the IRS. Nice people. Big waste of money. read more

HIGHLY recommend!!! Honest, willing to work with you, flexible and available. Marirose Roach is truly a life saver!!!! So grateful to her...she worked so hard for us and was always up front and honest. In the beginning, we contacted them after hours and my call was returned almost immediately and she was already calming me down. Great person, great office, great lawyer! read more

They fought with the banks got my eviction thrown out and my mortgage re-instated. Thank you so much for saving my home. I can finally sleep at night knowing this is finally over. Thank you so much!!! read more

Most of my experience with this was a disaster. I was looking for an attorney whose last option would be bankruptcy and would be willing to fight in a foreclosure defense all violations with the ultimate goal being a modification. That's what I thought I was getting with Robert Leite Young. I never even got to speak to him. First there was a mortgage consultant who it turns out was only telling me what I wanted to hear. Then I asked to speak with Robert who was unavailable. I asked specifically to speak with an attorney. I would put in touch with Joesph Scafidi whom I found out months later had been a prosecutor who had been disbarred. Had I know who I'd be dealing with I'd never have retained the firm. I will admit they got the sale of my home postponed. Good for them but after that they were more like begging for the mercy of the bank. I got more done than they did. When another sale was coming up, it was my actions and the government agency I was trying to work with that got the second sale postponed. There were problems on both sides so we ended the relationship and I posted a bad review about the firm. I still had never spoken with Robert and wasn't even sure he really existed. I found out he did when he called me about the review and offered in exchange for removing the review to represent me to do everything possible to obtain a modification for me. We'd discussed what I was thinking about doing with the new company allegedly servicing my mortgage. These were real dirt bags and there were things I was trying to catch them on, considering a class action suit and other avenues. He said we could explore them and others and even suggested getting all communications between me and the company. I believed it to be exceedingly clear that I wanted to go after them in every way possible to fend off sale dates and make them more flexible in granting a modification. He also promised to be available to me, answer my questions and keep me informed. He would do this at no cost other than reasonable expenses and court filings. I had to grant him permission with the company to speak to him. After that they refused to speak to me unless I got permission from him. I told him I wanted the ability to deal with them directly if I found it necessary and he said he'd take care of it. He never did. He avoided the question in subsequent calls, when he returned them which was not often and he ignored this and other questions along the lines of the way I wanted to approach things along these lines. That is if he replied to those emails at all. I have emails of me repeatedly asking about this. Among the things he avoided or ignored were that I'd found that they'd been recording our conversations and I knew of somethings that they'd lied about.or otherwise misrepresented. He said he'd get those recordings. He never did and ignored the question in subsequent emails if he replied at all. I asked him to read the numerous pages of complaints about this company so he'd know who he was dealing with, the dirt bags they really were so he could be prepared for whatever they did and react accordingly. When I did get to speak to him he admitted he had not read the complaints and I believe he never has. As such he missed confirming what my actual mortgage payment and arrears should have been. One of the complaints was that they would increase mortgage payments without justification. One complaint stated that taxes and insurance had actually gone down. Other complaints suggested that they would play with payments, changing the amounts or when they deposited or claimed to receive them so that those who were current with their mortgages no longer were and they would start foreclosure proceedings. I actually met one person who had this problem with them. it made it all the more crucial to catch them on violations to keep them honest. There was also a question if they were paying my property taxes. it went tot he question of actual arrears they were entitled to. To my knowledge, he never checked this either. The list goes on. Again, it was pretty much like they were begging for the mercy of a company whom it was obvious could not be trusted. I could do nothing myself because I was blocked from communication from the company because he never arranged the permission for me to speak with them directly along with them. Again, he consistently avoided the question in conversations and ignored the question in emails. Time was getting short toward the sale of my home. I had to submit a profit and loss as I was a 1099 independent contractor and had no pay stubs to submit. Some months I had small losses. Through Robert, the company and their lawyers requested, stating that the "investors" might be more receptive if I removed the losses. I submitted the P&L they requested. to be continued in another review read more
