Frank Anthony Acocella

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.

I was listening to a radio programme and I heard your ad about modification and I decided to try, so i called, made an appointment. From entering the office i was greeted and made to feel at ease. Met with Brian, who explained and answered everything so that we could understand, answered all of our q...uestions and some things we would go through with the bank and that he or others on staff will be available to answer and guide us each and every step of the way and it was a true statement. The staff that worked with me was fantastic, knowledgeable, patient and completely met my expectations. I would recommend any one seeking help with modification to contact your office. I would even dial the number for them. Thank you for the wonderful job your staff have done for me. My lawyer was excellent.

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!

Dan was professional, informative, and after our first conversation, a friend. When the economy tanked I was out of work and couldn't make my mortgage payments for a year and half. The bank didn't care when I got a steady job and wanted to get caught up on my payments. Acocella gathered all the n...ecessary info, and when their local lawyer went to court with me - the bank offered me a trail modification! Acocella group saved my home! God bless them

After another lawyer failed to show up in court to defend our foreclosure action, I approached Frank. He stepped in and made a difference immediately. His sympathetic/understanding approach and good interpersonal skills made us feel better about our situation from the moment we discussed our proble...ms with him. Frank clearly understands the foreclosure field and was able to keep us in our home for several years while he kept the bank at bay. He was eventually able to cut a deal with the bank to restructure our mortgage. The foreclosure action is in the process of being dismissed. I am now working with Frank on another real estate transaction. His knowledge of how to proceed has enabled us to identify and avoid a number of hidden problems that would have increased the cost considerably. He has also been helpful in introducing us to financing sources for this transaction. I am very satisfied with the service Frank provided.
