Shawn Orcutt, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on May 5, 2013
Relationship: Co-worker
Koury is a vigilant protector of consumer rights. He has an extra focus on mortgages because so many of our clients have been struggling with keeping their mortgage current in an uncertain economy, fighting against the wall for a hope of a modification, or looking for plan forward when the bank decides they want to foreclose and take the home. Koury presents the options that a person may not have been aware of and they can chart a path forward for that family.
Thomas Hooper, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Apr 23, 2013

I endorse this lawyer.
