Mr. Bavaro and his team at Loan Layers are Excellent!
If I could give Matthew and his team at Loan Lawyers team 1000 stars I would. If you're someone who like to nitpick for bad reviews, please do not do this with Loan Lawyers. They are truly best in their class in the work they do.
To summarize my situation, I was sued by a very litigious and notoriously scummy creditor for a sizable amount of money. As this was the first time I've ever been sued, I was incredibly nervous and expecting the worst. The thing is, these creditors hope that you stick your head in the sand and do nothing because then they're awarded the default judgement which is the full debt + court costs and fees. Then, with a judgement, they could garnish your wages and go after your money with a vengeance.
I opted to fight back and I chose Loan Lawyers as my counsel. I received tons of mailers of lawyers who said they'd settle or mediate my case to get maybe 60% of the debt negotiated down or help me file for bankruptcy, but Loan Lawyers was the only law office I spoke to who said they'd go on the offensive and get my case completely dismissed for a very reasonable fee. They cited the hundreds of other cases where they've achieved this outcome and I decided to bite the bullet and retain them after checking their reviews and being swayed by their confidence in the result.
This is one of those times where what was advertised wasn't too good to be true and they delivered on their promise. My case was completely dismissed with prejudice and the debt gone for good. This was my largest personal debt and for a legal fee a 10th of the amount of my debt, I had it completely erased. In that respect, this lawsuit actually turned out to be a blessing and I'm so incredibly grateful for Loan Lawyers in producing this result for me.
Mr. Bavaro saved my home from foreclosure...When Chase Bank served me foreclosure papers, I didn't know what to do. I have be living in my home for 18 years and never paid my payments late until I lose my job. I thought I was going to become homeless. As I was driving down sample road, I saw his billboard. When I contacted his office, the front desk person was so nice. She stated to me, don't worry. I made my appointment to met Mr. Bavaro in his Delray Beach office. Once he read through my paperwork, he immediately notice some illegal practices with my mortgage....Moving forward, he saved my home and all the fees that Chase Bank charged me was waived. I highly recommend Mr. Bavaro and his firm....

A+ ATTORNEY
There is not enough words to describe Mr. Bavaro. He is one of the most decent, trustworthy, caring, and knowledgeable attorneys in several fields, including, criminal, personal injury, and foreclosure. I was involved in an automobile accident in 2001. I hired another attorney prior to me meeting Mr. Bavaro. My case was going nowhere so I ask a friend Janice if she knew a good attorney. She recommended Matthew Bavaro, Esquire. From the first time met him, I knew my case was in good hands. Not only did I receive a awesome recovery for my injuries, he had all my medical bill paid by pip leaving me with only a small amount of medical bills to pay from my settlement. Today, I still refer my family and friends to him and they all are equally happy with the services he has provided them. That being said, whenever I have a legal question or concern, he makes himself available to explain to me my rights. I highly recommend Mr. Bavaro for any legal matters....

Excellant Lawyer and Firm
Matthew and his firm are knowledgeable when it comes to Foreclosures. He is honest and efficient and knows what has to be done. He is kind and considerate and listens to the clients every concern. He is then able to consolidate those concerns into the simplification required in the courtroom to win. Although I had great paperwork with regard to my case, I dont think I would have won without Matthew and his firms expertise...Kudos Mr Bavarro and your staff

The Real Deal!
Bavaro is the real deal.
He was always honest and never made promises, but was cautiously optimistic. He kept us well informed and led us through our case step by step right up to our court date. Then he won our case for us and was as happy as we were at the outcome. He is caring ,compassionate and talented.
We will always be grateful for Matthew and his wonderful staff!

Effective and Reasonably
My foreclosure case was complicated and dragged on for over 3 years. Mr. Bavaro was the attorney at the end who took the court case on himself and won. He was helped by Laura Hoy and Chezky Rodal, and a team inside that are efficient and effective. Their combined team effort won my case and I am forever grateful. I have already referred two friends to him and will again if asked.

Loan Lawyers - An Excellent Law Firm!
Loan Lawyers and Matthew Bavaro are excellent! My wife and I have been extremely satisfied with the service we have received from the very first day we met with him! We have all the confidence in the world that he and his staff will get us the results we are seeking. Their service has been fantastic - they get back to us when we have questions, they keep us informed about our case and they are always accessible when we need them. From day one, Matthew explained the entire process and was very honest with us about expectations - and we so appreciated that as we discussed the options to stay in our home. We would absolutely recommend Loan Lawyers to anyone! They have been a tremendous help to us!

Matthew Bavaro is a great lawyer
I have used Matthew several times over the past 10 years. He is always honest, straightforward and tells it like it is. I have referred many people to him over the years and everyone always thanks me for sending Matthew there way.

Bavaro is Great!
I met Matthew Bavaro 6 months ago.
Thus far he went to court and was able to stop the foreclosure by finding improper filing on the part of the lender. This is time that we needed to prepare our case and to qualify for a loan mod. This guy is honest, and good at what he does!

I can sleep again
Thank you Matthew and team for your help. I could not sleep anymore because of the stress of losing my home, but you really came through for me. I am so glad I found you all.

Great auto accident attorney. Helped my friend with his loan modification/bankruptcy too.
Matthew Bavaro is an excellent attorney. He cares about his clients and doesn't mind spending time with his clients to make sure they understand and are comfortable with what is going on with their case. He got me money for my auto accident fast. He also helped my friend with his loan modification/bankruptcy. I recommend speaking with Matthew first no matter what your legal needs.

My friend told me to call Loan Lawyers after they helped saved her house. I was one week from my house being sold. Thet set me up in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy which stopped the sale and is getting rid of my second mortgage so my payments are affordable again.
I can not say enough how much I appreciate the help you gave me. Thank you so much. I highly recommend using Loan Lawyers and Matthew Bavaro.
