Wrongful Foreclosure Action

I was the subject of a wrongful foreclosure action; a clear violation of statute by the bank. I filed a pro se Complaint in an attempt to stop the foreclosure, but when the bank proceeded with the foreclosure, I engaged Attorney Sherwin to represent me in the ensuing litigation. Attorney Sherwin's ex...perience in this area was instantly a value-add: he already had a working relationship with the bank's attorney and was able to bring my matter to a swift (albeit COVID-delayed) settlement, in which the foreclosure was rescinded. Attorney Sherwin worked so efficiently over the course of the approx. two years of litigation, that I had left-over retainer which I used to pay my first mortgage payment after the settlement! I would highly recommend Adam Sherwin as an excellent foreclosure defense lawyer.

Tenant /Landlord case

He helped us with a small claim case and getting a security deposit back. Since we first contacted him, he was very professional, knowledgeable and objective. Also, he always responded us quickly and the price was very honest. We highly recommend this lawyer!

Great Attorney. Very prompt!

Great Attorney. Very prompt, always kept me posted of updates. Remained very patient with my queries/concerns. After endless efforts of trying to get my deposit back and disappointments from my Landlord, I sought Adam's help. I moved to Seattle from Boston and never even had to visit back for my cas...e. He did not charged me any cost upfront. Whole process took ~1.5+ Years and I had to remain patient but it was worth it since Adam was able to handle all ordeal nicely and was able to get me little over 3 times of my deposit back. Thank you!

Saved me from foreclosure!

Adam was fantastic! My home was in foreclosure through no fault of my own and Adam saved it as I was involved in a document-scam when I tried to remodify my loan. He worked with me during my emotions and was so kind and patient and low and behold he saved it! I am so lucky I was referred to him! I o...we him my life! Thank you Adam again !!!!!
