Bankruptcy and Debt 80%

80%
Foreclosure 20%

In most cases, people facing foreclosure also have other debt problems. Therefore, as a general rule, we recommend that clients file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy relief. This gives the client up to five years to catch up on delinquent mortgage payments. It also gives them an opportunity to apply for a loan modification without the stress of a foreclosure action or the accrual of unnecessary court costs and legal fees. In appropriate cases, we can defend the foreclosure action without bankruptcy.

A Trustworthy Professional

I am a senior professional by trade and my income is close to six figures. I had debts close to $200,000.00. I was feeling very humiliated and embarrassed to file for chapter 13 bankruptcy. I consulted three attorneys before coming across website of Mr. Grubea. First attorney told me I will have t...o pay $2700.00 upfront fee and due to my high income I will be paying plus of $2300.00 a month. Second attorney told me he will charge $1800 fee and I will be paying little over $1000. Third attorney told that he will charge $1000 upfront fee and I will pay around $800 a monthl. Then I came across Mr. Grubea's website that said I will only pay $300 upfront fee. I scheduled a telephone consultation with Mr Grubea, who explained to me in detail chapter 13 proceedings and how he will be able to help me by keeping monthly payments very low and under $300 a month. The telephone interview was very professional, comforting and assuring that I was talking to a real professional who will take good care of my case. I completed all documentation sent to me by his office. I got very prompt replies to my queries. I had only one trustee meeting where Mr Grubea's assistant came who was also very professional. For the case hearing with the Bankruptcy Judge, Mr Grubea was himself present. Against a number of objections by the Trustee attorney, Mr Grubea, as his calculations and promise, was able to convince the Judge and got my monthly payment to just $208 a month. It made a very comfortable and free of humiliation experience. I would highly recommend, especially professionals with high income, who feel humiliated talking for bankruptcy to consult Mr. Grubea. You will feel surprisingly comfortable and get rid of all worries and tensions, and live a debt free life. Thank you Mr. Grubea. Khan

Horrible communication and guidance

After unexpectedly losing my job after delivering my youngest son I had no other choice but to file for Chapter 13. I researched the internet and community and was lead to Mr. Grubea's office. He suggested a strategy and payment plan which would be most beneficial to me and that I was pleased with.... However, after the initial court appearance I have not been able to get in contact with Mr. Grubea or his staff at all. I have had to communicate with the Trustee himself in order to clarify any errors (and there were many) and adjust any modifications that needed to be made. Emails went unanswered and telephone calls, although answered by the staff, were never returned like they promised to. I paid the attorneys fees for him to guide me through my Chapter 13 and it was the worst decision of my life. My recommendation would be to NOT hire Mr. Grubea's firm. He is absolutely awful.

Excellent firm for Chapter 13

I just wanted to share my thoughts on The Grubea Law firm. I was facing a foreclosure of my home and needed professional advise. I found Peter Grubea's name in our local telephone book and called and set up a appointment. from that first phone call, all the way thru the chapter 13 process, the Lawye...rs and Staff at The Grubea Law firm have been great. They were professional and polite. My questions were answered immediately, I always spoke to a person and did not have to leave voicemail's and wait for a response. They also were very compassionate during this very stressful time in my life. That fact alone helped me and my wife get thru this process with the least amount of stress as possible. The fee's that were charged were also very reasonable. I have recommended this law firm to a close family member who also had to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I would recommend The Grubea Law-firm to anyone who is facing a Foreclosure and/or Bankruptcy.
