Saved my home from foreclosure

My family and I hired Ms. Parikh to help save our home from foreclosure. We fell on hard times and tried as best as we could to keep up with our mortgage payments, but ultimately, too many were missed and lender (Wells Fargo) turned the mortgage back over to the creditor (Bank of America). Our situat...ion was unique because we still had equity in our property and there was no way we going to walk away without a fight. In came Ms. Parikh and her team. The market was doing well in our area, and we knew we could get the property sold pretty quick if given some extra time. Ms. Parikh worked with the creditor on our behalf and was able to negotiate terms that were favorable to us. She is a superb attorney and extremely experienced. No stone goes unturned and there was always a plan b or c, if the first didn’t work out. We were able to get the property to close, paid back the entire balance of our mortgage, walk away with equity and most importantly, no foreclosure sale. Our family is beyond grateful for everything Ms. Parikh and her team have done. We got the results we wanted and could not be happier! Thank you!

Helped me avoid Foreclosure

Ms. Parikh and her staff saved my home from foreclosure. The mortgage company had already set a date for the foreclosure when I contacted Ms. Parikh for help with saving my home. I knew that it was a long shot and I was not expecting a miracle and yet that's what happened. After many sleepless... nights and tears Ms. Parikh worked with the mortgage company on my behalf and saved my home from foreclosure. I had moved most of my belongings from my home with the exception of my bed and dinning room table and a few other items when I received word that my home was no longer going to be foreclosed on. She and her staff were very professional and were there with me throughout the whole process. I am very grateful for all of her hard work and dedication that went into helping me avoid foreclosure.

Loan mediation

I hired Shikha Parike two years ago as my attorney. It was a complicated case as I was a recent widow and wanted to keep my property. Everyone in her group demonstrated positive human relations and were easy to work with. The group under herleadership worked diligently to attain my goal. After m...itigation and several foreclosure attempts by the bank her team successfully completed a mediation agreement. The property is now mine and I would strongly recommend her. She is extremely competent and an expert in her field.

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!

Hire This Professional Team Now!

Initially worked directly with banks "loss mitigation" team. The lost mitigation team's job is to secure your home, not save it. They provided bad advice while losing documents throughout the process. Avoid doing this alone and Hire Paradigm Law. They stopped our near foreclosure; assisted wit...h our short sale, and kept the bank honest for once. The team is professionals, working to ensure your family is protected. I'd recommend the entire team to anyone. Do yourself a favor and invest the money in yourself--hire the Paradigm team. Really glad we did. Thanks Shikha, Julie, and Ann for everything!

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."
