Fast, reasonable and easy to deal with.

Mr. Carrera did not try to upsell me when all I needed was a court response to a foreclosure we had previously resolved. Refreshing to deal with this kind of an attorney .

Guided me through Short Sale and saved me from Foreclosure

From my first conversation with David, I was thrilled with his speed and accuracy. David not only led me through the judicial system, he negotiated with the mortgage company at the same time. David was able to not only stop the foreclosure and eventually get it thrown out of court, but also set... me up for the short sale process, help get a tenant removed that was no longer paying rent, get the HOA to help clear up some items as well. He was very reasonable with his pricing and payment methods. I would use David again for anything related to the law. Thank you for your help!

My Lawyers review

To whom it may concern Thank you for sharing your time with me. I am writing this note in order to express my gratitude and excellent work done throughout the time on my foreclosure and loan modification process of the attorney Mr. David Carrera. Mr. David Carrera has demonstrated the highest l...evel of professionalism, care, understanding and very detail oriented to achieve the best results to my case throughout this past year 2014 – 2015. Mr. David Carrera is a great asset to our community and to society in general, his level of care for his clients is to be noted. He was always in communication with any updates which makes things less stressful on this type of cases. I have a very good knowledge of the legal system and having legal family members makes me understand Lawyers better. (My wife a former member of the Florida Bar herself for 8 years). However not all lawyers are alike, and I have my shares of very bad lawyers in my time. On behalf of my family I wanted to thank Mr. David Carrera from the bottom of my heart and as my daughters said “Thank goodness for people like our lawyer” I will always be thank full and will not hesitate to refer his services to anyone at any time. Thank you for being a loyal part of our family this year. Warmest Regards, Nelson & Maria
