DO NOT EVER USE AMADOR & CARRERA. AKA SCAMADOR & CARRERA
My published review of your firm. THANKS FOR NOTHING
THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD WITH ANY LAW FIRM. DO NOT USE. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE, MONEY AND GET A REAL LAW FIRM TO REPRESENT YOU. THIS FIRM IS A FRAUD AND IS RUN BY INCAPABLE ATTORNEYS, PARALEGALS AND OTHER STAFF MEMBERS. DO Y...OURSELF A FAVOR.
My wife, parents and I were clients of Mr. Juan Carrera of Carrera and Amador, PA in a real estate matter in Miami. Our intention, from the beginning was to save our property and to work with our lender. For over a year, documents were requested from us, in which we complied and returned to Mr. Carerra. Each letter is peppered with typos and grammatical mistakes. They can't even spell THEIR OWN clients names. Few months go by, we don't hear anything except, we are working on your case. Then they come back requesting a new set of updated documents (bank statements, income taxes, etc). Complied. Same thing happens. Next this we know, the lender says its too late. We'll try a different method. Same requests begin all over again. RINSE, WASH and REPEAT. We had been advised to commit document fraud by the firm, though they will never admit to it, because that's what they will say to save their behinds and to continue to practice law, We did not comply with these requests.
The lender issues a foreclosure notice, my wife and I were never served properly. We called the firm and tell them this. We live in NY, no service has ever been given nor proven. Instead of fighting for our house. We are advised to sell our home in a short sale for well below market value. Needless to say, the house sold, because it was a steal for the price, Mr. Carerra advised up to sell at. So now we lost our house, and my parents who lived there moved out in February of 2013. Thousands of dollars were paid to this sham of a law firm and the results were not even close to what we had been promised. We understand that we can't always get what we want but show us that you tried.
After we lost the house, moved out, etc. There was a check for 1,000 dollars issued to us by some government agency in regards to some short sale settlement. The check was issued to us via the law firm in October of 2013. The check was sent (proof available) to the home address of the property which was sold in March of 2013. The check returned to the sender. Instead of calling to get a right address, they mail out the check to an old employer of mine on Madison Avenue in NY. GUESS WHAT, they mail returned back to the sender. On February 3rd of 2014 we get an email

to me
Dear Ms. G*****n:
We have tried in several occasions to deliver to you a check from the government in regards to your foreclosure case, but to no avail. The envelope has been returned to us twice unable to forward.
Please contact our office as soon as possible to pick up said check.
Thank you.
We call and give them the proper address. We get our check in the mail. Its expired (valid of 90 days). I called in complete disgust with the unprofessional and lack of care for A CLIENT. Left a message. No response. I called the next day. Today, I am told with a NASTY attitude, that there is a phone number to call and have the check reissued. I asked them why did we not get a phone call, email, smoke signal, Morse code or any other type of communications about the check that had returned the first time or the second time but only after over a month. Or how they determined to send the check the first time to the property which sold over 6 months ago, or an address of a former employer of mine in New York? NO ANSWERS. Complete incompetency in their behalf.
