Terrific Experience

I hired Steve and his team to help me when I fell behind on my mortgage. We were in foreclosure and he stepped in to help me navigate the waters to delay the process and give time for my modification to be submitted and ultimately approved. Banks are no longer writing down principal but we managed... to avoid a foreclosure and get into a trial modification which then became permanent. Steve and his team are very responsive via email and text. Steve helped us through a very difficult time and I highly recommend him if you're in need of help.

Excellant lawyer and a caring person

I had the good fortune to hire Steve at a time when I knew that all avenue to save my house with out professional help were closed. I was scared, but Steve and his team put to at easy and have me hope. He has been my lawyer for the past three and a half years and i would highly recommend him to anyo...ne who wants to save their home.He and his team has moved mountains to keep my family and I in our home. When I got diagnosed with stomach cancer, I saw a rare quality you expect from your legal council team, compassion and care. Without Steve and his team I wouldn't have been able to save my home for sure.

Stutman Is the Real Estate Foreclosure Bankruptcy Guru

I have known Steven W Stutman since the 1990's. He did mortgage closings for me representing the lenders. Steve is well versed in the real estate/mortgage field. Steve has been focussing a majority of his practice on foreclosure defense helping homeowners and past clients save their homes. Steve,... has had close to 5000 clients over the years with mortgage issues. When you speak with Steve, he makes you feel like you are the only client he cares about. He is the only attorney I ever met that gives out his cellphone number so to always be communicating.
