Excellent Lawyer and Adviser

Mr. Cliff Michael Blondes was retained to assist in the collection of our overdue loan secured by real property in the District of Columbia. Immediately upon commencing work on our mater, it was clear that Mr. Blondes had full command of the law and was able to navigate the intricacies of our matter.... Through the prosecution of confessed judgments against the guarantors and the scheduling of the foreclosure sale, Mr. Blondes brought the borrower to the negotiating table was able to obtain a most satisfactory result for us. I would recommend Mr. Blondes to any lender needing similar representation.

Client Review

Cliff is a quality foreclosure/bankruptcy attorney with in depth knowledge of the Virginia, Maryland and District of Columbia real estate market. He is very detailed oriented and a very ethical person. He looks out for what is in the best interest of the client and he focuses on accomplishing those o...bjectives in an efficient organized manner. Cliff handled numerous loan workouts, loan modifications and foreclosure sales for me; he was able to recover the debt and his fees. I would highly recommend Mr. Blondes.
