Drake Ozment

Ozment Law saved our home and mediated a new mortgage interest rate for almost 4%. They handled everything for us. Drake, TT, & staff answered every email we bombarded them with in this most frightening time. He wouldn't guarantee our house, but WOW, what a savior! - I had fought Bank of America fo...r over 7 years for unlawfully raising our mortgage rates(fined Billions), going to re-fi BOA conventions all night, visiting many offices they sent me to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Stuart., required re-submittal of docs over 30 times. - ICE Legal lost our investment house in court after paying them for years - Judges said "we know about what the news says" and didn't care, let foreclosures proceed to clear dockets. - Banks attorneys(men? in our community) smirked as they interrogated us Please regain your sanity if you are having debt issues, don't let corporate America Banks/credit companies harass you any longer.

I am very happy I made the decision to go with Ozment & Merrill for my bankruptcy, my foreclosure defense, & also used their realtor company to try and short sale my home. They lifted a huge weight off my shoulder and took me step by step through the entire process. Everyone I dealt with was very k...ind, knowledgeable, & professional. Any questions I had was replied with an immediate response. I would definitely recommend them for any needs you have in their field.

I was in a dire situation. I was in the process of losing my home and my American Dream was slipping away. I saw where many of my friends and family along with representation lost their homes. Just when I was about to give up I called this office for a consultation. They were patient with me and work...ed hard on my very difficult case. Because of Ozment Merrill I have hope again. I was not only able to save my home but straighten up my finances. This firm was sent by God and I am forever grateful for them saving my piece of The American Dream! • • •

My ex-husband and I retained the services of Mr. Ozment in 2009. We are still currently in active bankruptcy. I had contacted his office in the past year or so because of an ongoing investigation I am pursuing invloving the foreclosure process practiced by Well Fargo. Since Mr. Ozment was handling... our bankruptcy, i figured he may be able to help with the issues I had with WFHM since he claimed to handle foreclosures as well. I made an appointment to speak with him and was kept waiting for quite some time. First I was told he was out sick, then I was told he was in court. I was then greeted by a young attorney who had no clue what i was asking or referring to. He was not very helpful. I left very disappointed that I had taken time off work for nothing. I then proceeded to make another appointment and insisted it be with Mr. Ozment. Well, that meeting was not any better. I asked my questions and got nothing back except for a very rude and short response that he is only handling my bankruptcy and if i wanted my foreclosure handled it would be about a $400 month fee to stay in my home. That is not what I even was there for. I was under the impression that I had made it clear that I was looking for a consultation in reference to the matter at hand with foreclosure proceedings and the legalities around them. I had mentioned to Mr. Ozment that I had filed a complaint wih the OCC and I was referred to the Independent Foreclosure Review. He basically laughed and looked at me as if I was ignorant and stated that this "Independent Foreclosure Review" was a scam and there was nothing he can do. As I exited his office I just had to laugh myself when I read what his office door read, "Real Estate Law, Foreclosures, & Bankruptcy. Since that visit the whole country is aware of the large settlement that was reached naming Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and several other banks for wrongful practices involving mortgages. The law suit was brought on by the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of Currency). It is the federal agency that regulates all financial institutions. The same agency I mentioned to Ozment at my meeting. The one he thought did not exist. How can someone who handles mortgages and forecloures not know who the governing body for financial institutions is? I definitely would not recommend Ozment. I just hope that when my 5 years are completed that all is truly taken care of. Because I am not looking forward to having to meet with this individual again.
