Security Deposit

First and foremost, when searching for an attorney to contact during a security deposit dispute with an ex-landlord, I had contacted about three or four of them and had to leave messages with the receptionist to not even receive a call back. I came across Jonathan's information and decided to try on...e more. I was surprised that my phone call actually led me directly to him. How many times do you actually get an attorney on the phone with you? With Jonathan you will! Our first phone call lasted 30 minutes discussing the laws and what procedures needed to take place! My ex-landlord began by saying he wanted to deduct $500 from my $1800 security deposit because he would need to clean the AC coils and ducts. When I refused this, he then sent an email with a laundry list of things he was deducting for that would bring me a refund of only $895! I had spent weeks prior to this painting the entire house and getting down on my hands and knees cleaning the grout! To say the least, I was furious! I sent Jonathan my lease agreement and he instructed me on how to proceed! He was always there for me whenever a question would arise. Fortunately, his instructions worked and my landlord realized that I was serious about taking him to court and it didn't go that far. He refunded me $1750 of the $1800 and the $50 deduction was for reasonable things. If ever you're in a bind and need an attorney that you can actually get on the phone and communicate with - contact Jonathan - you won't regret it!

Saved my House from HOA Foreclosure!

I came to Loan Lawyers to discuss the foreclosure files by the HOME owners association. I immediately felt at peace after talking to them and attorney Benjamin. In 2 days Attorney Benjamin was able to resolve the case and save my house. I am so happy and highly recommend this firm especially Attorney... Benjamin.

Foreclosure Defense

Loan Lawyers, LLC has been once again great. I have experienced nothing but professionalism working with Jon Benjamin, Esq to do everything we can to save my home. Jon has been very responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. Lot of attorneys take your money and don't call or do anything. But Lo...an Lawyers and Jon have been always there and very professionalism making me and my wife feel at home. These guys are superstars and second to none.

Behind in Mortgage payment and imminent of forclosure

I needed legal services, I did not know who and where to address my problems to. A month a half ago, I was listening to Lesly Jacques' radio show on 1700 AM and I obtained the phone number to contact the Loan Lawyer Law Firm in Fort Lauderdale. I immediately called and set up an appointment with the... law firm. It was when I met Jonathan Mark Benjamin, Esq.. Surprisingly, after evaluation he accepted my case. Since then he represented me in court, he diligently defended my case. He was able to vacate the default for me with a very tough Judge and very tough facts! He was able to recover my case which was literally in a moribund state. His aggressive effort has defeated the stubborn plan of the bank to stop me from making a balance payoff. My recommendation for Jonathan is: I have nothing but praise for him and for his kind staff who are always ready to respond to my questions. The entire staff is very professional and knowledgeable. Your office is pleasant and top of the line. Anyone out there having problems with his or her mortgage, I strongly recommend you Jonathan Mark Benjamin attorney at Loan Lawyer Law Firm. Keep fighting my case.
