Frank Anthony Acocella

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!

I was desperate and disillusioned when I contacted Acocellalawgroup in a last attempt to avoid foreclosure after unexpected medical issues and loss of income ; I had been disapproved twice before after using another law group and fees and back payments were adding up; right from the start they o...ffered me hope and reassurance that my situation was not hopeless despite what I felt like over and over and believe me this was no easy task! I was very anxious and had to be talked off the ledge many times over! They never waivered- they were on top of everything; kept me informed regularly and were professional and compassionate at the same time-they were steadfast and committed to seeing it thru successfully-none of what I felt from the other firm. To sum it all up- they saved my future-I feel like i no longer have a noose around my neck and there are no words to express the relief and gratitude me and my family feel. I would highly recommend this group of dedicated professionals and would like to especially thank Matt, Candace, Heather and Lisa-I am so grateful I found this team! Thank you all for doing what you do so well! Sincerely, your most difficult and thankful client!

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.

We had spent 2-3 years trying to work with our bank to get a loan modification done on our own. During that time the stress level and frustration were very difficult to deal with and hard on the family. They continually denied us on technicalities and we truly felt there was no hope to get a modifica...tion done. The other attorneys we approached were only interested in filing for bankruptcy which wasn't a good option for us. We were in the process of listing our house and just getting clear anyway we could before we had our house taken from us when we found Accocella Law Group. My first conversation with Dan Giannini at Accocella gave me hope. Finally someone interested in helping us keep our home and that understood the modification process completely! We Worked with Dan and Lisa Deluca through the entire process and they were on top of the process the from start to finish. Lisa and her team were great at keeping us up to date on progress and making sure we were in compliance with anything the bank required and went above and beyond helping us provide completed docs as needed. Dan was a very calming and assuring influence during the process and someone I could always call for reassurance and a better understanding of where we were and what to expect. We are fortunate to still be living in a home we love with a mortgage we can now afford thanks to the work of everyone at Accocella. I would recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation!

I came to AVVO several months ago seeking an attorney to work with for help on a Mortgage Loan Modification. With all the choices out there, I painstakingly analyzed and researched many firms. The Acocella Law Group seemed like the one that could get the job done, so I took the step forward and put... my trust in them. I am so glad I did! My case was extremely complex, with many back tax issues, debts, judgements, divorce, etc. My case was first taken in by Ms. Eden Grant, who took the time to understand all my issues. After carefully analyzing my situation, she explained to me that I would qualify for a modification, and then gave me a monthly mortgage target number that they were going to shoot for with my lender. I knew it was not going to be easy, but I was so hopeful. I felt like I had the best team on my side. My case was then turned over to Ms. Malini Seepersaud, who handled every aspect of working directly with my lender. She was in contact with my lender several times per week, and made sure they had everything they needed to continue their due diligence. She knew when they made duplicate requests, and straightened everything out. Also, Malini would contact me with updates on a regular basis, keeping me informed as to what was going on. She was like my lifeline during this time. I am so grateful to her for her expertise, her patience, her persistence, and her deft navigation of this very involved process. The entire case took longer than usual to conclude, again because of my complicated situation, but I jumped for joy when I finally got the call that my Loan Modification was approved. Needless to say, I love this law firm and I am so grateful to each and every one of the staff for helping me get an approval from my lender which will save over $800 per month and, most of all, save my beloved home. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! A note to those seeking an attorney for Loan Modification: if you are on the fence about which firm to hire to handle your Loan Modification, call these folks now! This process needs a truly professional team, and that's what you will get here. I wholeheartedly recommend The Acocella Law Group.
