One of kind lawyer.

I decided to go on my own to get a loan modification after spending so much money on legal fees. At the end of the process, it got really technical and complicated, I called Ilya for an Appoitment, he went over my case in the phone and advised me of what to do next, and what to expect. Following his... Advise I got it two month later, I feel he did a bonus case with me. He was so kind and humane, a rare quality in a lawyer.
