EXCELLENT EXCELLENT SERVICE

I hired Mara Shaughnessy for my foreclosure modification case and was extremely satisfied with her and her staff's handling of my case. She had to file motions of Continuance over and over again while waiting on the bank to process my modification since each new court date( for summary judgment ) w...ould come up without the bank returning an answer on the modification. It was VERY stressful waiting but Ms Shaughnessy really gave me a lot of confidence because of the way she was handling the case and the knowledge she had of the ins and outs. She took the worry away. And the key was that her and her staff were very prompt proactive and responsive. If I ever had a question I never had to follow up to get an answer. Some questions I didn't have to ask because they would send me an email before I got around to contacting the firm weeks out from an upcoming court date. She was frequently in contact with the banks attorneys which made things sooo much easier. I was kept in the loop as was copied in all pertinent emails wether involving the court or the banks attorneys. Great professionalism and great customer service that you just don't get these days. I would confidently recommend and refer this law office to ANYONE needing the types of service they provide. Oh and by the way, I initially shopped around and their rates were far from adding insult to injury like a few of the other consultations elsewhere did. I truly wish them all the best!!

Saved my home

I hired Mara to help me with a loan modification. I had worked with my mortgage company for almost a year to try to save my home. Every time I called them it was the same story. They would claim that I did not submit all of the paperwork...Lies. Mara took over the case because I was too frustrate...d to deal with them anymore. I now have a lower mortgage payment and can stay in my home. I can't say enough about what she did for me.

Loan Modification

I contacted Mara to help me with a loan modification. After being rejected several times by my bank I was frustrated and did not know what to do. The entire staff worked to get my loan modification approved and now my family can stay in our home. I cannot thank them enough.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
