Better than expected results. Great attorney.

There is no better attorney for help with debt collection issues. I have used Culik Law and Attorney Culik for a couple of different cases and each time received a better result than I had even hoped. I felt like I had someone on my side and couldn't be happier. Debts were either eliminated completel...y or settled for much much less than owed. Cannot thank him enough.

Knowledge and kindness from a professional

We have used Attorney Culik for several cases over the past six years, all were related to an unexpected job loss that resulted in issues with my mortgage and mountains debt we were being sued for. He has always been kind, patient, and most importantly dug into the cases and was able to help our fami...ly come out of a serious financial situation. In a couple of cases where debt collectors were coming after us hard, he was able to get the cases settled for much less and get them to stop calling us. We cannot thank him and his amazing staff enough. From the bottom of our hearts.

Could have been better

I hired Mr Culik 2 years ago to get my loan modified. I was (and still am) in dire need of a modification on my high interest loan. We were living paycheck to paycheck but after reading the reviews I thought he may be able to help. I explained to him that it would be hard to pay his fee but he wor...ked out a payment plan which was helpful. He explained to me that going through with his method was not 100% and I appreciated it. However, probably due to having to go on a payment plan in order to afford him, he didn't respond to emails very frequently. A full year went by with no resolve. Mr Culik is a very knowledgeable lawyer and knows his stuff but if you are not filing for bankruptcy or under foreclosure I wouldn’t recommend him. Maybe I caught him at a bad time but unfortunately he was unable to help me.

I really appreciate this individual taking the time to connect with us by submitting a review. We consider any review of the work we do important since we constantly seek to improve the quality of work we offer clients. I have carefully reviewed our client records and cannot find anything that correlates to the events described in this review. I would, however, warmly welcome this individual to contact me directly so I can better understand and address their frustrations. In the meantime, I will explain a little about how the modification process and our firm operates. We definitely understand the frustration with how long the legal process can take. In cases of loan modifications, we are often required to “hurry up and wait,” that is, to provide information and make demands on the bank, and then wait for a period of time that is mandated under the loan-modification guidelines or other applicable laws. Because of this, from the client’s perspective, it may feel like there is very little happening. This is natural -- after all, when it’s your house, any amount of time can feel like an eternity. We make every effort during this period to keep the client updated and I have very qualified associate attorneys who work with me to continually push cases forward and ensure that clients are connected to the process and get very timely responses to any question or concern. Even with an attorney involved, the companies we go up against sometimes cause delays or fail to resolve issues in a timely manner. This, after all, is what they’re good at. But even if the issue can’t always be resolved immediately, going up against those companies is what we’re good at, and why we’re here. Other times, a change in the client’s circumstances, such as a change in income, may make it necessary to take additional steps in the process. It sounds as if one of these issues may have arisen in this particular case. Legal outcomes can be predicted, but they can’t be guaranteed. We try to make this clear from the start so that clients’ expectations are both optimistic and realistic. Rather than making impossible claims about what we can do, we try to keep expectations reasonable -- not all cases end the same because of the number of loan modification programs and variations in guidelines between them. We can guarantee, however, that we have the expertise to make sure our clients get the best chance possible to save their homes. We do try to be flexible by offering payment plans and other accommodations so that the client can afford legal representations. This makes it so that clients can afford to hire us, and so that we can afford to perform the work we do for our clients. But just as with a doctor, accountant, or other professional engaged to perform a service, our capacity to perform legal services depends in part on the client’s participation in the representation including timely responses, document submission, and payment. Our record shows that we have worked extremely hard to push the banks to do what we believe is right, which is to protect consumers and keep homeowners in their homes whenever possible. Sometimes we do this with a lawsuit against the banks, sometimes with a bankruptcy, and sometimes with a loan modification. We have stopped foreclosures on the eve of the sale with restraining orders and injunctions, eliminated debts in bankruptcies, gone after abusive banks and debt collectors, and even rescinded foreclosure sales for clients who contacted us after a foreclosure already took place. I hope that this person will take advantage of our commitment to clients by contacting me directly with any concerns so that I can address them to their satisfaction. As you can see from some of the other reviews on here, we work very hard to get our clients the results they want against all odds.

Professional and Knowledgeable

I own a small business and have used numerous attorneys over the years for other matters. Attorney Culik and Culik Law stood head and shoulders above the rest in professionalism, caring, and real knowledge on the areas of law they helped me in - debt and foreclosure litigation. They are real people a...ctually trying to do good and certainly made a difference for my family. I especially appreciated the way I was always able to reach out to Joe for questions and that he kept me in the loop throughout the case even on areas I didn't previously understand. I have referred them to many close friends and family members and will continue to do so.

One of the good ones, we can't thank him enough

Mr. Culik was our attorney in a foreclosure matter where the bank had done the foreclosure already while we thought we were working with them on modification. Not only did Mr. Culik turn the foreclosure around and undo it but he also persisted in work for the modification. This home means the world t...o us raised our kids here and have lived here more than 40 yrs. Losing it nearly broke us. Mr. Culik was caring and listened to us on our first meeting and gave me hope again. Home went from sold to us having a payment we can now afford with cut pay and deduction in hours. We can now plan to retire here. In all the lawyers I've dealt with, he was the best and our whole family sends our thankfulness. We were referred by attorney generanal's office and thank them too. We are going to be okay now.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback and kind words. Outcomes like yours are why we love what we do and why we give these cases our all. Sometimes even when it seems like all hope is lost, there is a way to fight back and I'm so glad we were able to do that in your case. We are grateful for you as a client and appreciate the opportunity you gave us to help.
