Straightforward and effective

Charles Wallshein is a straightforward and effective attorney. I hired him after a bank wrongfully placed a mortgage default on me. From the start, he was clear about my options and what to expect. He did not overpromise. He explained the legal process in plain terms and focused on the work. Throu...ghout the case, he was responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Thanks to his efforts, the default was removed and I avoided foreclosure. Charles knows the law, communicates clearly, and gets results. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with a foreclosure or mortgage dispute.

Extremely Bad Attorney

I gave money to this attorney to protect me in a mortgage related issue. He took the money & did absolutely nothing. He avoided me. Refused to discuss the case with me. He lied to me when he said he would protect me. Someone else here said he is a do nothing attorney & they were right. He won't talk ...with you, meet you, strategize with you, put in motions, read your documents - nothing. It's inconceivable that such a bad attorney exists. Because he did nothing, I asked for a partial refund of fees which he refused so I took him to Arbitration & won. His work ethic is so flawed that I was in grave danger from the moment I went with Charles Wallshein. Stay away. He doesn't care about doing the legal work for you, only in collecting fees.

This client fails to mention that over 6 figures of penalties and interest were stricken from his mortgage as a direct result of the attorneys expertise and negotiations with his lender. This attorney has been in business for over 27 years. It is unfortunate that some clients do not appreciate all the time and effort that was put into his file. This office has dozens of satisfied clients and many send us referrals. I love when someone writes a review and they write, look at all the bad reviews, really? ... a few bad reviews in 27 years does not make what you say true, this is your opinion and I disagree with you considering I am very familiar with your case. Even Coca Cola & the Pope have some haters, enough said. Gloria Office Manager

If you would like to email me directly and tell me what wasn't done for you I would be happy to discuss with you further. I have been the firm's office manager since May 2017 and I do not recall anyone expressing they were not happy with Mr. Wallshein. If you call the office number and ask for the office manager, I will promptly contact you. Additionally, if anyone is not satisfied with our results, I have no problem refunding your payment(s). UPDATE: This client sued the attorney in small claims court and his case was dismissed by the Judge There are 2 other woman that work at our office and an associate attorney as well, it is hard to imagine with all the other people you could have left a message with that you were not able to talk to Mr. Wallshein. Our clients say that Mr. Wallshein is the best Foreclosure Attorney in New York. I am sorry you are upset but we can resolve your issues if you deal with us directly rather than through a website. Thank you, Gloria
