Jaime Lathrop

I have been a client of Jaime Lathrop, Esq., (Jimmy), since 2015. My house has been in my family for just short of seventy years. Our family consists of educators, an architect, a printer and the youngest is an entrepreneur with a degree in Business Management. We are a family of college educated ind...ividuals. Four generations of my family have lived in our house that was built in 1920. This has been our family legacy. I am a senior whose house went into foreclosure due to a series of life altering rents. Needless to say, I was distraught by my constant efforts to desperately navigate my way through these circumstances. However,when this was compounded by a significant loss of income, which was out of my control, it seemed as though I would never be able to regroup. I sought numerous avenues for clarity and guidance. I took recommendations from friends, contacted different housing assistance organizations and attended consultations with numerous attorneys. They simply took info/ retainer with the assurance that they could help me save my family home and nothing further would come of it. Following my numerous disappointments, I was referred to Jimmy by an attorney of a prestigious law firm on Court Street in Brooklyn. This attorney said to me, “I am sending you to the best attorney I know, who can deal with a plethora of mortgage/ homeowner and tenant issues. I would use Jaime Lathrop, without hesitation for my own family members because of his knowledge, experience and reputation in the courts.” She was absolutely correct! When it comes to dealing with those mortgage companies and developers, Jaime Lathrop goes above and beyond in the pursuit of a successful outcome. He leaves no stone unturned. As his client, I realized that I needed to refrain from constantly contacting him for updates about my case. I backed off and allowed him time to expose the contradictory and illegal motions that the corporations’ attorneys would work to implement so convincingly. He is not at all swayed by wealthy bullies. He consequently kept me updated regularly of any pressing matters at hand. Some may mistake his candid, direct manner seasoned with honesty, for arrogance, as I read in one of the reviews. However, Jaime Lathrop is a shark in the tank! He refuses to succumb to the intimidating tactics of his courtroom opponents. His integrity always prevails. Jimmy has fought for my generational home with a steadfast vengeance I feel this effort must be acknowledged. If I could give him 10 stars for his tenacity and implementation of knowledge alone, I would. I will continue to refer Jaime Lathrop to friends and acquaintances. In these hard times, many are in dire straights and feeling desperate just as I was. It was a breath of fresh air that I could address the issues at hand with someone of integrity like Jaime Lathrop.

I hired Mr. Lathrop after I fired my 9yr lawyer who told me to just resign a commercial lease without evidence that my current one was still valid due to a foreclosure of the property. Mr. Lathrop was recommended from an acquaintance who at that time saw him for a consultation. My intuition said he... sounds like the lawyer I need. Upon meeting Mr. Lathrop for the first time, I sat there asking him questions and he would go on sharing scenarios to find my own answers. Awesome. With confidence I hired Mr. Lathrop right then, put my full trust and 6 months later we won the case. My experience with Mr. Lathrop was very informative and I learned a lot about the laws in my particular case. Some people described his demeanor to be arrogant and rude- In my opinion I perceived it as straight forward and true facts (Business!) . We all know that coming across a person with integrity and being honest is your blessed day. I went on telling Mr. Lathrop that if we did not win the case by far he is an amazing lawyer and did what he needed to do. I am thankful he also trusted me as a client.

Jaime Lathrop assisted my late parent's legal firm (Goldfarb and Associates) in keeping their apartment out of the hands of an unscrupulous Reverse Mortgage Company. Mr. Lathrop at least twice successfully defended our interests at court. I am very grateful to him. We have, thanks to him, successful...ly negotiated the sale of the apartment.

About a year ago, I needed the assistance of a lawyer regarding a pending foreclosure. I attempted to file for a loan modification on my own, and after numerous unsuccessful attempts even with the assistance of a HUD counselor, I was referred to Jamie Lathrop. I am so glad I made the call to him, he... has been instrumental in saving my home and more. Jaimie Lathrop provided me with an outstanding representation and a successful outcome. He was also successful in getting the mortgage amount reduce. He was committed and devoted to my case. I have nothing but good things to say about Jamie Lathrop, his level of knowledge and expertise put my concerns at ease. Jamie and his staff was always professional, courteous, considerate and easy to work with. I will surely recommend to anyone seeking a lawyer who will help and really care. If ever a need , would not hesitate to use again. I was extremely satisfied, with much gratitude.
