Frank Anthony Acocella

My wife and I tried several times to get a modification on our home mortgage ourselves, after being denied many times we did some research to find a law firm that could go the distance. I spoke with many companies which I found online that claim they could help, overall not a good experience. I c...alled the Acocella Law Group and spoke with Howard Leeds after a lengthy conversation I was assured that they could help. My wife is a Realtor and I am a contractor which is the two hardest hit professions in this economy. I say this to be able to point out that the financial information that had to be assembled at the request of the mortgage Co. had to be presented in a manor favorable to the lender which is something I was unable to do and which the Acocella Law Group does brilliantly! I certainly do not have to tell how stressful the situation is, I would like to thank Howard Leeds and Mallini Seepersaud for always taking my call, returning my call, calming my fears and reassuring us that our home is not in jeopardy. We were successful getting a modification which reduced our mortgage by approximately 50% even though we had probably the most difficult circumstances in which to qualify for a mortgage reduction. To the Acocella Law Group I say thank you for going the distance and Job Well done!!!! You won a friend. For those of you who read this testimonial it is genuine and heartfelt. If you need mortgage relief hire the Accocella Law Group it will be the best money you ever spent.

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.

Frank Acocella and his team were a pleasure to work with. Frank helped with our real estate purchase. He was always there and took the time to go over every little detail to make sure we were comfortable with the entire process. He made sure to review all documents on his own and went over again w...ith us pointing out things we should be aware of. Frank always responded to our calls and emails within minutes and was very proactive. He treats you like family and even after the closing his responsiveness and willingness to provide assistance and advice when needed did not change. Thanks Frank!

As a widow, facing the prospect of selling a home is terrifying enough, but having to sell it as a short sale, multiplied the anxiety 10-fold. Within minutes of entering Mr. Acocella's office, I knew I was in excellent hands. His respectful, patient, and reassuring manner combined with his knowledge... and experience in short sales was the perfect combination of skills. Mr. Acoccella handled all the legal paper work, conversations with the realtors and banks, kept me informed throughout, and presided over a closing that met the needs of all participants. His work and efforts on my behalf during this process exceeded all of my expectations. I would recommend Mr. Acoccella without hesitation for your real estate and short sale needs.

I wanted to write this letter to tell you of my experience with the Acocella Law Group and, in particular, their Senior Debt Analyst, Daniel G. I have lived in my home in Chicago for many years with my wife. Last year she took ill unexpectedly and passed away. It took both of our incomes to make t...he mortgage payment so when she died, I fell behind on the mortgage. I tried but eventually the mortgage company foreclosed and my home was sold at auction. When I received an eviction notice from the government agency, Fannie Mae, that owned my mortgage, I made one last desperate attempt to stay in my home and I contacted the Acocella Law Group through their website. That's where I became acquainted with Mr. Daniel G. Dan explained to me that I may have waited too long. He explained to me that I no longer owned my home so getting a mortgage modification, which is what the Acocella Law Firm specializes in, would be impossible but that he would see what he could do. His motto is that there is always a solution if you try. First he contacted the law firm that represents Fannie Mae and tried for two weeks to negotiate a redemption so I could get my home back and reinstate the old mortgage. I now had a better job and could afford the old payment. The mortgage holder said no. Then Dan contacted the real estate broker that was selling my home for Fannie Mae and tried to get them to sell me my home back. They said no. Then Dan tried to get Fannie Mae to rent me the home so I could continue to live in the home that I loved so much. They refused. Dan was so angry with Fannie Mae and felt that they were dealing with me unfairly that he helped me to contact my Alderman and Congressman to see if they would intercede with Fannie Mae. They said they couldn’t do anything. As a final attempt, Dan helped me negotiate a “cash for keys” arrangement where I could live in the home for a few weeks, the eviction would be put on hold until I could find a place to live, and they would give me a few thousand dollars to help me move. Dan even asked me to stay in touch after I moved, as he put it, to make sure that I landed on my feet. For all his efforts, Dan never charged me a dime. In fact, he never even asked me for money. How many law firms do you know would show such compassion and caring? If they worked this hard for me for free, imagine what they could do for you as a paying client! I can’t say enough about Dan and the Acocella Law Group. I would recommend them to help anyone with their mortgage. If you want to contact me to verify this story, I have authorized Dan to release my contact information to those potential clients in doubt.
