Acocella Law Group Saved My Home

I had great difficulty refinancing my mortgage on my own. The mortgage company (bank) telephoned nonstop; different people from different departments requested the same documents week after week. All the while, daily phone calls came from the bank demanding payment. It did not matter that I was in... the process of refinancing. I was a nervous wreck! I was in danger of losing my home because I could not pay the mortgage and the bank did not appear committed to refinancing even though I qualified. After securing legal representation from Acocella Law Group, mortgage company phone calls stopped. Acocella Law Group took responsibility for making sure that my documents reached the right office. No longer did I fear missing bank deadlines, because Acocella Law Group kept track of what was needed, when it was due, and who would get it. I felt very confident that all would be well...and it was! I owe you guys!

Thanks for helping us Keep our home.

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!

Loan Modification Process

I contacted the Acocella Law group about 3 months ago to see if they could help us with a home loan modification. I will admit that I was pretty skeptical after researching other so called home modification law firms. The Team of Jim , Lesa and Candice is working around the clock to get my loan mo...dification process a success. I am confident that this team will get the job done . Its good to know I can trust this team to restore my mortgage.

I Can't Thank You All Enough!!

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.

No Satisfaction

I hired the Acocella Law Group to represent me in a loan modification to prevent a foreclosure with Chase bank. I was assured at that time by one of their Relationship Managers that I had nothing to worry about and they would make sure that a loan modification would be granted. After nine months and ...some $4,500 plus in payments to Acocella I did get my modification but unfortunately it was at a higher monthly payment. That was four months ago. Needless to say I was not pleased and was told that the Acocella Law Group did get me a modification and since we did I would have to re-apply and owe another $4,500. For the past four months they have promised to address my issues but every telephone contact with a representative that was scheduled they broke. I strongly feel that there should be some settlement to help me retrieve back most of my costs. I would not recommend them to anyone applying for a loan modification.
