Wayne Scott Kramer

I am both a current and former client of Midler and Kramer, and I am extremely surprised to read some of the reviews of this firm. Though Mr. Wayne Midler, one of the firm’s partners, does not answer every one of my calls, he does eventually return them. Originally I had issue with this until he exp...lained to me that he is in court almost every day and can usually speak about my case after hours and if I needed something to text him, which is the only way he can communicate in court. Wayne always timely responded to my text and if it was a “pressing issue” he was sure to call me when he was free. I understand that if he doesn't take or return my call, it is because he is preparing for trial for another client. I eventually figured out that I would want the same focus on my case when it was my time for a hearing or trial and that most of my calls were based on fear of losing my home. Eventually I began to trust Wayne and the firm, as they have never failed me. I came to this firm as a pro se litigant who found that I was in over my head as a defendant in a foreclosure suit. Wayne is a great attorney and an excellent strategist for foreclosure defense. I came to him a month before trial and after he generously gave 2 hours of his time at our initial consult (before hiring him). He drafts excellent arguments and motions using appropriate case law and applies it all very well. He understands the disposition of opposing counsel and judges alike. He calls me right after every motion is heard, with the results and next step in the process never rushes me off the phone. I certainly would recommend this firm to anyone seeking an attorney with this type of insight. Prior to me hiring Midler and Kramer I spoke to about 5-6 other firms whose retainer terms were seemingly absurd. Some even wanted a percentage of my homesteaded property (if we won) AND a hefty fee. Midler and Kramer's fee structure was exceptionally fair, considering the work needed to be done. For trial preparation, and on multiple occasions, we spent several hours together in his office (usually Saturdays) organizing my evidence file. The case against me was dismissed and thanks to the firm, we thwarted the banks' attempt to illegally seize my home. I also hired Midler and Kramer to defend a family member's case, which he also had dismissed. The law offices of Midler and Kramer is currently retained by me in another suit, in which I am fully confident in a 3-0 winning record. If you are looking for a foreclosure firm to win your case, but can handle the fact you may have to wait to have your calls returned or get timelier answers through text then hire this firm. I am very glad I did.
