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.

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.

Trust

I trust in him for 2 years I hire him because he was being announce his practice in a religious radio station try many times after he took my case to meet with him never had time to meet and at the end his office call me and let me know the they can not do anything for me the i was going to loose m...y house. The next day after this call i call the bank myself explain my situation and 2 weeks later they make me the best deal the for 2 years he was not able to get for me and my family.

Mr. Arcia is a credit to the Law profession and a hard act to follow

I required the services of a Real Estate attorney and Mr. Omar J. Arcia was recommended. I admit that I had my apprehensions. When I visited his office and had my interview with him I was convinced that I wanted him to represent me. Mr. Arcia has a friendly face, is a great listener and his tone o...f voice gives the impression that he is dealing not with a client to be, but rather, with a family member. My First impression is that he was truly interested in my troubles and not in my money. Needless to say that Mr. Arcia gained my confidence in our very first meeting. In retrospection I can say Mr. Arcia impressed me for coming across as an honest and trusting professional and very knowledgeable in his field. In this first meeting Mr. Arcia gave me peace of mind indicating the steps his law firm would take to assist me and indicated the results that I was to expect. True to life, everything went as planned and the results were exactly the same that were discussed in our first meeting. Needless to say that my legal problem was solved in both a timely and professional manner and to my satisfaction. As a confirmation of the above stated, I can say that Mr. Arcia's Law Firm team interacted with me and kept me abreast of all the step that occurred in my case both by emails and via phone calls. Furthermore, Mr. Arcia himself would communicate with me directly or vise versa adding to my peace of mind. In conclusion, I recommend Mr. Omar J. Arcia as an Attorney 24/7/365. He is a true example of a dedicated and hard working "Honest" attorney so if anyone is looking for an attorney that can give results in Real Estate negative situations, I highly recommend Mr. Omar J. Arcia and his Law firm group, they are a hard act to follow. One meeting with him will convince you of that!. I am also a professional my self and make this report free from the influence of money or financial gains. Rather, I make this report as an expression of gratitude and appreciation for the services The Arcia Law Firm rendered on my behalf.
