Michael P. Forbes

I spoke with Michael about a mortgage company unjustly raising my family’s mortgage significantly and giving us different reasons each time we disputed their claims. I shared all of the details regarding the matter with Michael and he was super friendly and joking saying that he reviewed everything a...nd I have a good case and we could sue them. Our goal was to stop the mortgage company from raising our monthly payments. He told me he wanted me to pay for the initial letter to the mortgage company first, to get the mortgage company to stick to one specific reason why they raised the payment, so that when we go to court the mortgage company would have to stick to whatever they responded with. He said once we get the response, we would sue and his fees would be contingent on a win. I should have known right there. First off the letter he wanted to send to the mortgage company was terrible. It had the wrong account number, the wrong company, and a lot of grammatical errors. I had to send it back corrected. As soon as I paid him, the friendliness stopped, he suddenly was always busy, and when the mortgage company finally responded providing us with the same details I already shared with him prior to hiring him, he said his unnamed “expert” told him the numbers are off just a little so they won’t be moving forward with anything. He made sure not to send me anything in writing about his opinion. When I asked him to explain what he thought the details of the letter the mortgage company sent meant, he said his "expert" looked at this for him and that he himself don’t understand it. Now I have to go hire a real attorney. Don't hire this guy. I would give zero stars if I could.
