Excellent Service

The Acocella Law Firm was excellent from beginning to end. I came to the Acocella Law Firm troubled and scared that I would lose my home. When I spoke to Mr. Leeds he asked me some easy questions about my status of how far I was behind, who was my lender, and other question pertaining to my unique si...tuation. After my consultation he told me not to worry and so I began the process of saving my home for my children and myself. Mr. Leeds was always positive and was there to reinsure me when I had my spells of worrying about my house. I love that he was honest and straight forward with me. Honestly means a lot to me. Mr. Flores was also in my corner. He took time to explain to my about the different avenues that I could take for my unique situation of saving my home. He was always present in the whole entire process. When I received the news that I was APPROVED for my modification I was so happy and relieved that it has finally happened, My Beautiful House is SAVED! I was astounded that I even had a real low payment. The payment was lower than my original payment starting off. I would like to recognize the rest of the team at the Acocella Law Firm that were nothing but nice, encouraging and helpful. Thank you, Cecilia

Excellent Service

I lost my primary income over 2 years ago and fell behind badly on my mortgage payments. I contacted the Acocella Law Group after I became concerned about the level of expertise that i was getting from another law firm that was handling my modification. When I spoke to Howard Leeds at the Acocella La...w Group he understood my fears and concerns about losing my home. From the outset he assured me that I was not going to loose my home. I was not getting this kind of positive thing from the other law firm. At any rate he told me what I needed to do, what documents to send and the fees involved that were in my opinion reasonable considering the alternative. I did my part, they did their part. There was constant follow-up throughout the process. In the end the process was completed and my home is saved. If you find yourself losing sleep because you are on the verge of losing your home, fear not. Contact the Acocella Law Group today and sleep easy tonight.

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.

Delivered EXACTLY what they promised

The Acocella Team delivered on exactly what they promised from the first time I spoke with Joe DiLeo in December of 2013. Now, 9 months later, my mortgage is current and they saved me a ton of money!!! And I can move on with my life and stay in my home. The communication and responsiveness from the... entire team was unbelievable. I always knew what was going on and I could always contact them with questions, even to the point where Joe DiLeo would respond to text messages from me! This is a very HONEST firm and I would recommend them to anyone.

Great Law Firm

I've worked with Kevin Allison, from start to finish with my loan modification, at first I was skeptical if Acocella can help me, with Mr. Allison working with me,I felt peace of mind throughout the process, he answered all my questions which were many, and can be reached at anytime, iI am tre...mendously happy with him and his team, I was able to save over a thousand dollars per month now I have peace of mind, I can go to bed without any worry, I highly recommend Mr Kevin Allison to handle any kind of Real Estate or Modification problems.
