Negotiated a Confidential Settlement Agreement with an Unwilling Mortgage Broker (and Bank)

My attorney, Shikha Parikh, fought tireless on my behalf, over the period of several years, to prevent JP Morgan Chase Bank, the most notorious foreclosure instigator in the entire country, to negotiate a settlement agreement. Chase used every tactic and resource available to them over the course of... several years to force an unwanted foreclosure and liability, but Shikha was uncompromising, relentless, and most of all, knowledgeable and professional! She kept me informed throughout the process, was always available and responsive if I had questions, and her rates were very reasonable as well. I highly recommend Paradigm Law!

Wells Fargo short sale

Shikha Parikh represented us to Wells Fargo in an extended and potentially awkward short sale negotiation. We were deeply underwater on our mortgage for a residence in Deale, Maryland. We had attempted to sell the property for several years, without success. With Shikha's good help we came to an acc...eptable agreement with Wells Fargo and were at last freed from a burdensome financial obligation.

Excellent, responsive and capable

Shikha Parikh and her team led us to a successful short sale! We are 3,000 miles away and are dealing with a medical hardship. Having someone capable on our side who understood short sales, our rights, and how to negotiate with the bank was absolutely priceless. Shikha was responsive, knowledgeable..., encouraging, and on top of things. We are so grateful for all their hard work and attention to our situation.

Exemplary Legal Services

I'd like to commend the swift exemplary assistance I received from Shikha Parikh, in support of my recent approval for a loan modification. My home was up pending foreclosure sale and Ms. Parikh represented me submitting a motion to the mortgage company, which was the catalyst for them to make me an... offer for a loan modification. I don't know if could have been able to get this done if it had not been for the quick response that Ms. Parikh provided. I would recommend her legal services for anyone seeking mortgage related assistance.

I would recommend Ms Parikh to anyone in need of representation.

I was put in a very vulnerable position by my mortgage company on two occasions prior to my case being settled with a contract modification. I am convinced the company would not have acted judiciously to settle this new arrangement in my favor had it not been for Ms Parikh's very firm and direct int...ervention on my behalf to move things to a favorable conclusion. My name was in jeopardy due to a mistake by the company's "Customer Service" department, which they partly admitted and, moved in a delayed fashion to rectify. Had it not been for Ms Parikh directing their expeditious resolution of this matter, I might still be dealing with them to protect my name. To this day, they (the mortgage company) remain unwilling to admit their sluggish handling of this matter, making excuses, and calling me on the phone to ask for payments they told me they would collect automatically from me by prior arrangement. Ms Parikh and her staff have been reassuring and most professional in resolving this matter in my favor. She is worth every dime of my money.

Foreclosure lawyer | Jul 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a family lawyer, I have referred several divorcing clients to Shikha, who helped structure a ‘short sale’ of their homes for less than the mortgage balance, and thereby avoided their liability for the mortgage deficiency. Shikha conveys a cheerful confidence that puts clients at ease as she manages the arcane foreclosure process."
