I still can't belive it!

Dan was professional, informative, and after our first conversation, a friend. When the economy tanked I was out of work and couldn't make my mortgage payments for a year and half. The bank didn't care when I got a steady job and wanted to get caught up on my payments. Acocella gathered all the n...ecessary info, and when their local lawyer went to court with me - the bank offered me a trail modification! Acocella group saved my home! God bless them

Enterprising + Understanding + Helpful

After another lawyer failed to show up in court to defend our foreclosure action, I approached Frank. He stepped in and made a difference immediately. His sympathetic/understanding approach and good interpersonal skills made us feel better about our situation from the moment we discussed our proble...ms with him. Frank clearly understands the foreclosure field and was able to keep us in our home for several years while he kept the bank at bay. He was eventually able to cut a deal with the bank to restructure our mortgage. The foreclosure action is in the process of being dismissed. I am now working with Frank on another real estate transaction. His knowledge of how to proceed has enabled us to identify and avoid a number of hidden problems that would have increased the cost considerably. He has also been helpful in introducing us to financing sources for this transaction. I am very satisfied with the service Frank provided.

Loan Modification

I would most definitely recommend the attorneys of the Acocella Law Group. They were successful in having the sale of our home postponed. They have been a great comfort to us in this struggle because they keep us constantly updated as to how things are going with our loan modification. I absolutely w...ithout a doubt know that they are working hard to help us keep our home. I want each of them to know how much we appreciate their help. If anyone is facing losing their home you need to give them a call. They will stand and fight for you to keep your home.

Loan Modification

I contacted the Acocella Law group about 5 months ago to see if they could help us with a home loan modicfication. I will admit that I was quite skeptical after dealing with other so called home modification lawyers. When I called I talked to Howard Leeds, who I believe was in there customer servi...ce department. I expressed my concerns about hiring another lawyer and he understood. Howard never pressured us to hurry up and sign up. As a matter of fact he gave me his personal cell phone number and told me to call any time which I did, several times. After a couple of weeks my wife and I decided to go ahead and sign up. We were 4 months behind on our mortgage, and getting foreclosure notices. Our interest rate was 8.25% and our payment with taxes and insurance was $3,025.00. Within two months and two weeks a representative from Acocella notified us that our mortgage company had accepted there offer for a modification and gave us a new payment of $1,231.00 with an interest rate of just over 2%. I tell you the truth I have never written a review for anything, but after this happened for us I needed to let other people out there with the weight of the world on there shoulders facing foreclosure that this company is NOT, I repeat NOT a scam. They helped save us $1,800.00 a month on our mortgage.
