Sad homeless that he rip off

Con man. His license has been suspended from the Florida State Bar Association! While losing people's homes and then buying them. He is a con man. Look up his records online.

Omar saved my home! The best of the best!

Mr. Arcia and his staff are amazing! Their level of professionalism and diligence is unrivaled. Omar went above and beyond with my case and was able to save my home against all odds. He kept me updated and educated throughout the case and was always honest and upfront about every single detail. Witho...ut a single bit of doubt do I recommend Mr. Arcia and his firm for any of your legal needs.

Consulting

I met him for a consultation and when he explained how nice his victory storyline was he convinced me, but as soon as I researched him through website. I didn't want to hire him, due to his unprofessional behaviour of his staff asking for money $2,000 for loan modification when by law cannot ask for ...money on a free loan modification. I called my bank for loan modification and it saved me $2,000. Don't be afraid to call your bank and they will help you.

Review

Mr. Arcia, wanted to take a moment and say thank you to you and your staff. When I made my first appt. with your law firm I went in very scared. Apprehensive as my past experience with other attorneys did not go well. When I sat and met with Yesenia, I explained my concerns to her and she listened an...d then explained my options. Within minutes I felt at ease and very comfortable. She made me feel safe and with hope that there was a solution. I had hope. She has been so informative keeping me posted and updated throughout the whole process. I was able to close the Chapter 7 and can't be happier. Your law firm has given me the opportunity to start over and get a fresh start. It's been a pleasure working with your firm. A special thank you to Yesenia for being so kind and patient with me. Signed by a very happy client. Grace S.
