A True Professional

I came to Attorney Desrochers for a chapter 7 for my wife. She was backed up with credit card bills, out of work for multiple years due to injury, and now getting sued by her creditors! Matt put all of that to rest, with a simple meeting with me and my wife. It took longer than expected due to my wif...e's busy schedule and having to deal with everything at home. But with the help of Jowan, who was the trustee assigned to my wife's case, things got done. Communication was phenomenal and Matt was always there responding to e-mails, and phone calls, as was Jowan. The day of my wife's hearing came up last week and when I got home, she was a totally different person, like a massive weight had lifted off of her shoulders. "It took literally 5 minutes! All I have to do is wait for the discharge, I feel great." Thank you Matt, and Jowan for allowing my wife to come back from months/years of worry about debt and finally get on the road to being debt free. Your assistance has been amazing, and I will recommend people in the Reading area to your firm.

EXCEPTIONAL! Nothing but respect & gratitude for Matt's "GLADIATOR" performance!

After 2 years of failed negotiations an associate strongly recommended I have Matt take over all aspects of my short sale. I was losing my buyer and fighting a seriously notorious financial group (google: lawsuits of OCWEN). Knowing full well Ocwen would be a nightmare Matt went to battle. Despite ha...ving already lost 2 years, Matt sustained the buyer's confidence till the deal was done. Matt negotiated a much better deal than what was rejected years earlier! I not only recommend Matt for his services, I want him to know how much I respect him for a job well done...

Matt did what I couldn't

Unfortunately, I have had several experiences with bankruptcy in my lifetime.Life has had its challenges and with it a few incompetent attorneys and very difficult banks. After several reorganizations of our home loan this last time Bank Of America seemed unwilling to modify our loan one last time. I... was desperate and turned to Matthew Desrochers. I had seen a tutorial video he did on Facebook a while ago and it was nice to see an old classmate who I haven't seen in over 20 years had made a successful life for himself. I reached out in desperation hoping his memories of me in high school were as favorable as my own. Matt met with Sharon ad I and took over an hour during our free consultation to explain everything in detail. He listened and took what I said into careful consideration, then together we formulated a plan. 2 Months on a very fair retainer but no more than that and we will see where we are at that time. Just a few days after the 2nd moth the bank agreed to modify. They had already refused me twice and told me it was too late. (You can;t trust what the bank says). Matt got them to listen and even though they had modified the loan several times before Matt and his team got them to do it again. They even reduced the rate and my monthly payment. We couldn't be more thankful. As I said in the beginning I have used other attorneys in the past for bankruptcy issues. Matt Desrochers and his team is by far the best, and most competent and also the fairest priced. Amazing People. Thank you so much!

Wealth of Knowledge/new perspective on things

I have had the opportunity to utilize Matt's legal services as well as his real estate services. I was very impressed with both. During the collapse of the economy a few years ago, I was among the many people whose economic situations suffered tremendously. My finances, coupled with an upside down... mortgage led the bank to initiate foreclosure proceedings on my home. When I met Matt, I was contemplating filing for bankruptcy. Matt's expert advice, his knowledge and connections in the industry, his diligence and his persistence successfully guided me through a difficult and confusing time, thus enabling me to keep my home out of foreclosure and prevent me from filing bankruptcy. As I was also undergoing serious medical issues at the same time, I appreciated the convenience and ease of working with him. His professionalism has a sincere and honest down-to-earth approach. Also of importance to me was the fact that his rates were very fair and reasonable. I would recommend his services to any of my friends and family. Now that circumstances have changed in my life, I plan on being a return customer for future real estate endeavors.
