Mark P. Stopa

I had two homes in foreclosure and needed help. After finding Mark's blog via an internet search for foreclosure defense, I hired his firm to represent me. I was allowed to make three monthly installments same as cash to his firm and his costs were about half of others I had called. I had a free co...nsultation with one of his attorneys and this is where you want to ask all of your questions because you are basically paying for 5-6 hours of work which covers everything necessary for a full year. Do expect his assistants to email you any legal paperwork that was filed as it happens, usually same or next day. Don't expect to corner an assistant and talk their ear off during this time unless there is an absolute emergency. You aren't paying for those extra hours. I had maybe two lengthy emails from his firm concerning something i had asked them, but that was it over the two years they represented me. But, I was fine with that and knew this going in. Ultimately, he got one case dismissed within 8 months. The second case he couldn't get dismissed, but the mortgagor offered a loan mod. before it went to trial. I learned this much from watching the attorneys from both sides...Mark has a system and he follows it every time. The opposing counsel either has their act together or they don't. If they do, you will probably lose your case in the end, but you'll live in your home two years for free. If they don't have their act together, you can see it early on in their responses to Mark. There is also the luck of the draw on what judge is presiding over the courtroom the day he argues for you in court. Some of them are unsympathetic towards those who haven't paid their mortgage and no matter how strong Mark's argument is towards the specific technical legalities involved in the way the plaintiff must present his case - you will still lose. To date, he has had over 700 cases dismissed (according to his blog). That's incredible! Don't hire someone off of a tv or radio ad, call Mark.

Mark Stopa is a great Lawyer who fights for his clients like a beast.He has gotten my case dismissed twice.Im not looking for a free ride but I needed the time to get my finances in order and get back on my feet.God bless Mr Stopa and his great staff.I would have been homeless without him and his har...d work.He also was very fair with his fees unlike most attorneys in this field that wanted to charge a huge upfront retainer and a large monthly fee.Just go to the Pinellas county or Hillsborough county clerk websites and search for Mark Stopa and see for your self who the best trial Attorney in the state is all of these cases are public record .He has gotten a lot of cases dismissed and won Final Summary judgement for a bunch of cases.

Mark handled a mortgage foreclosure for me. I met with him just 3 days before summary judgement. He was successful in that hearing. I remained in my house for 3 years, eventually selling it in a short sale. Mark definitely knows the law in mortgage foreclosures, and is excellent in front of a jud...ge. If you are in a foreclosure definitely give Mark Stopa a call.

I can not recommend Mr. Stopa enough! This man's expertise in foreclosure defense is second to none. The time and effort he put into defending our case made us feel as though we were his only clients. He put us at ease through one of the toughest times in our life, and yes he did get our case dismiss...ed, however even if our case didn't get dismissed it would not have been for his lack of knowledge or commitment and I would still be telling everyone (yes even family) that this is the man they want in their corner. This man truly cares for his clients. God bless you Mark, we will be forever grateful for you!!!
