Highly Recommend!

Having worked with this firm on two separate legal needs in two years (a short sale and finances), I can enthusiastically recommend Roland Acosta and his team. Their professionalism, courtesy, and knowledge of their area of law impressed me as much as the compassion they show to their clients. Legal ...processes can be daunting, but Acosta & Associates are so competent and reassuring you will know you're in excellent hands.

Roland Acosta - An attorney that really works for you.

I have known and worked with Roland Acosta for over 10 years. I routinely refer clients to Roland for assistance with residential closings, short sales, mortgage workouts and refinancing. On more than one occassion my friends and clients have come back to me to tell me how much they appreciated my ...referral, how easy it was to work with Roland, how hard Roland worked for them and would crow about the successful results of his representation. Roldand Acosta is an extraordinary attorney.

Terrific Legal Counsel

Mr. Acosta's firm handled a short sale on my mother's and my condo. From our first meeting, we felt very comfortable and confident they would be looking out for our best interest. They kept in contact with us and informed through the entire process. They even extended their expertise and help on ...another issue for my mother. I would highly recommend them and would not hesitate to call on them again.

Loan Modification

Mr. Acosta helped to obtain a very favorable loan modification so that I can remain in my home. From the beginning he had a very positive attitude that this would be successful and that was very comforting to me. He assembled a terrific team who worked very hard for a successful outcome.
