LUIS T.

En pocas palabras agradesco a la firma Acocella por la ayuda brindada en mi caso,estuvimos sufriendo mi familia y yo por anos,hasta que nos recomendaron a estos exelentes Abogados ,que me ayudaron a salir de esta situacion. Lo que nosotros estabamos pasando no era el sueno de tener una casa, si no u...na pesadilla,pero gracias a al firma de Acocella law group,la pesadilla se convirtio otra vez en un sueno de tener una casa. Gracias especialmente a los senores Cail,Jaime y Victor,se portaron a al altura de ayudar a las personas hispanas,y como hispano se los agaradesco otra vez Que dios los bendiga.

Great results

I did not know where to turn when I was losing my home . I contacted Howard Leeds and he helped out a whole world of difference. He let me understand how he can save my home and what I had to do.[ We accomplish just that!] He walked me through step by step on how to get in good standing and refinanci...ng. Anyone who is behind on your mortgage payments are threatened whit foreclose should use ACOCELLA LAW GROUP,P.C. I greatly recommend. Not only save my home but my sanity also and got me a great interests rate. When I called they were very responsive and professional. Thanks greatly Jerry Blanchard

Thanks to a great company of lawyers

I was listening to a radio programme and I heard your ad about modification and I decided to try, so i called, made an appointment. From entering the office i was greeted and made to feel at ease. Met with Brian, who explained and answered everything so that we could understand, answered all of our q...uestions and some things we would go through with the bank and that he or others on staff will be available to answer and guide us each and every step of the way and it was a true statement. The staff that worked with me was fantastic, knowledgeable, patient and completely met my expectations. I would recommend any one seeking help with modification to contact your office. I would even dial the number for them. Thank you for the wonderful job your staff have done for me. My lawyer was excellent.

Acocella Law Firm Saved My Home

I retained the Acocella Law Group to support me in avoiding foreclosure and obtaining a mortgage modification after attempting unsuccessfully to wok with my mortgage lender for three months. I am an experienced Project Manager and Systems Engineer and know how to negotiate, facilitate teams and perf...orm expert research, but my mortgage lender was still unwilling to negotiate with me or "get the ball rolling" after a three-way conference call with HUD. It was at this point, that I began working with Acocella Law Group. My first point of contact, and the Service Representative and lead for the entire process for my mortgage modification was Howard. Howard was available via land line or cell phone and answered any questions - with accurate information mixed with reassurance - during my fact gathering stage. It took me three weeks to make a decision, with no pressure or hype on the part of Acocella Staff. Once the Acocella Underwriting, Legal and Customer Service staff began working with me, the threatening phone calls stopped, the lines of communication were solidified with my mortgage lender, and challenges were addressed. The Acocella Legal Staff also provided me with local legal counsel (at no extra charge), when needed for one court appearance, because I was not within a convenient distance from the Acocella New York office. I am in the mother of a 12-year old and a long-time engineer and professional. I lost my job as an engineer and project manager due to a reduction-in-force at my long-time employer. A decision to not relocate in Washington D.C. - I wanted to keep my daughter at home in a stable environment, caused my income to be drastically reduced. I was four months behind on my mortgage when iIretained Acocella to assist me. I chose to start three small business and stay in Colorado. Acocella produced my Profit & Loss sheet for me and helped me consolidate my business and personal records. I was concerned because I was not a "cookie-cutter, W-2 case" but I sure worked hard and ran my own businesses. After diligent and careful work and research and constant communication with my mortgage lender, the steps to end foreclosure proceedings were started and a trial mortgage period of three months was set up. It took careful, measured and diligent work on the part of Acocella to stop the proceedings, and they were stopped. I am now on the second trial mortgage payment and am confident that with Acocella's help, I will be approved for a permanent mortgage modification, at the current rate of $300 lower than my previous payment. I would also like to add that not only was the Acocella staff knowledgeable, efficient, and professional, but each of them was also reassuring and warm - something that was very welcome and helpful during such trying times. I will be able to keep my home for my daughter and myself!
