Posted by Teresa | March 12, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Insurance

When I thought I was never going to stand up on my own again.

Attorney David Smith was recommended to me. I called him after hours to leave a message to get see if he would see me with only a very short time before I was about to lose everything. To my surprise. He called me right back. He gave me a day to come and bring everything to him that I had from my mot...her's mortgage company. From day one. They lead me wrong. I listen to them thinking they were on my side. To my surprise I was in a proceedings of being foreclosed. But that's not the worst. The insurance company also put me last. We pay insurance and we was wrong by listening to mortgage company because the whole time they were telling me everything would work out. Everything fell apart. I was losing with my home and my Insurance Company didn't offer to lead me in any direction. Instead I down graded to a house that I have never in my life been exposed to. And no one was helping me. Court gives you a package about foreclosure help in NC. . I called and wrote and did anyone take time to listen to my story until Attorney Smith. He not only listen. He offered to be by my side. I was almost in tears. I lost my mother, brother and house burnt Down in 59 days. I had to pay for2 funerals and then found myself Homeless. My insurance company didn't advise me. They didn't do anything but offended me with the aqusations that had me run out of the office and dare them to ever speak my name again. I had to fight to get me in a rental 5 months later . I was in grievance and I wasn't thinking staight. With no expense for any clothes, food, or furniture They kept wanting reciepts. I was broke after being homeless. Hotels took what savings I had left. . The power was behind 1200.00 bc the firedepartment didn't cut water off. I was told not to be on property until further notice so my house was robbed and torn to pieces. Vagrancy found in my home serveral times. But today was the first day that I felt like someone actually cared. Thank you Attorney Smith. I know it still isn't over but having someone with your expertise on my side is like night and day. I lost everything I ever owned. I lived outside, I lived with people that I wake up to being touched in my private places. I lived a nightmare that if only one person would listen and help or offer advice. I will never be the same again. But at least I can hold my head up. I promise my mother as she past away at home. " I would fight to save this place for a place We would always be welcome. That was her dream and after living there for 16 years. 59 days is all it took for me to mess everything up. Yes I blamed myself because I had no one on my side. Everyone wanted me to walk away and let it go. Attorney Smith put the fight back in me. And I will not give up on anything that should have been easy to just make monthly payments and I would have been able to get contractors and be back home by now. I want to Thank you for your time and patience and support. We still have a battle but at least I can stand up and fight back. No one is taking anything that I have worked for. 16 years aren't going away over night. The office and team was so awesome to me today. I do appreciate you giving me my respect back. And for that is all it going to take for me to stand up and tell my story. Thanks so much. Teress
