Joshua Wood Denbeaux

I have been a licensed attorney for nearly three decades, but I found myself caught in a lending dispute for which I was wholly unprepared. I am very grateful that I found an attorney who was both remarkably knowledgeable and incredibly considerate to contact me the same morning I submitted a reques...t for a consultation. This attorney was Joshua Wood Denbeaux. When we spoke, Josh succinctly laid out the issues I was facing and presented a plan to deal with things that did not rush to send me and my family into bankruptcy. Other attorneys with whom I had spoken reflexively told me I had to play the bankruptcy card. Josh provided far more effective alternatives that included not only affording protection from foreclosure, but taking on an unscrupulous lender with an aggressive offense designed to turn the tables on them. He is a dynamic advocate who chooses the most beneficial path for his clients rather than simply marching lockstep down the easiest, least advantageous road.

I went to see Josh Denbeaux when my foreclosure seemed to be coming to fruition after 7 years of trying to save my home. I saw 3 attorneys before I went to see Josh. They all charged me a high consult fee and all recommended bankruptcy to save my home. I didn't get a good feeling with any of them. ...It was so discouraging that I came close to not driving 1 hour away to see Josh for his opinion. I expected more of the same shady advice. I'm so glad I pushed my depressed self to go. First of all, Josh took the time to see me at no charge and he made sure I brought the necessary docs so our meeting would be productive. Let me say that Josh was so encouraging and uplifting to me. He was honest enough to tell me that bankruptcy would not save my home, (after our meeting he referred me to see a colleague that specialized in bankruptcy/accounting who confirmed that fact, no charge to me), that there was nothing in my loan docs that was illegal and it wouldn't make sense for me to hire him. He instead encouraged me to go to court and fight (I had my court date in a few days). He said I was doing a great job for 7 years and I could do this! He advised me to tell the judge that I never had mediation, that I had completed 2 forebearance plans, that I was told my income was too high, too low (all true information that I told Josh at our meeting), basically to fight back against the BS excuses the bank was giving me for denying me a loan modification. I did just that and the Judge sided with me!!!! She cancelled the foreclosure proceedings until my mod app was reviewed (bank was trying to push it through before the app was reviewed, bums!!!) Two days later I got an offer to modify my mortgage and I saved my home!!!! I want to thank Josh Denbeaux for encouraging me when I was so close to giving up. I will always be grateful to you!!!!!!!! You showed care and concern for my plight, a genuine want to help me in my battle, which was so unlike the other attorneys I went to. So glad I took the hour drive!!!!!!!!

Took payments regularly but farmed out the work to staff who were regularly MIA. Lack of communication, not told his employee handling the case quit the firm. More than once ! No replies to emails. Put up little to no legal arguments to defend me. The foreclosing bank dismissed there own case and I s...till lost my home.
