Drake Ozment

I filed Bankruptcy in 2009, during the real-estate crash. My first appointment was with Drake Ozment himself, he was extremely professional and understanding of my situation and guided me through every step, never hesitated to answer my questions. For me, bankruptcy left me feeling like a tremendou...s failure, Drake Ozment and his team was always courteous, very helpful, and kind. Five years later, if I get correspondence of any kind and I call the Port St. Lucie office, I am greeted with respect and professionalism. Tina is EXTREMELY helpful, if she is unavailable, with-in half an hour she returns my call. I am more than pleased! Jackie G.

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.
