Miracle Workers!

When my husband and I first called Acocella, we were in dire straits. We had fallen incredibly far behind in our mortgage payments due to unforeseen circumstances and prior modifications had only succeeded in creating higher payments. Things were looking grim and we knew we were soon to face foreclos...ure. We were desperate, so when we heard the ad for Acocella, we decided to give a call. At that point, we had no expectations or hopes that our home could be saved, but Acocella did an amazing job. Not only were they there for us every step of the way, answering questions and keeping us informed, they fought long and hard for our family. They managed to get our mortgage payments cut nearly in half as well as acquired an incredibly low interest rate for us. Now we are able to make our payments and are in good standing with our mortgage company once again. Acocella saved our family from disaster and I can honestly say they are a godsend. We will be forever grateful for everything they did to help us.

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.

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!
