Never returned my calls and acted against my best interest

I hired Mr Stoppa and after I paid the $4000, I could never get a hold of anyone and they never called me back. They did do work toward my foreclosre, but my situation was a little different than the norm so the work they did actually hurt my situation and since they never would call me back, I was n...ever able to discuss with them what they were doing on my case. 3 years later, I am still dealing with the foreclosure and they still will not return my calls. I am at a loss on what to do. I am disabled and have no money to hire another lawyer. I would be careful hiring them because in my case they took my money, never called me back and just steamed through my case without considering my specific needs.

Never returned my call

Spoke with assistant paralegal who told me he would ask attorney Stofa to review my case and then would return my call. I never recieved a call back either way which I regard as unprofessional no matter whether you take my case or not.

Mark's Great but Senior Paralegal Angela is Exceptional

In 2008 we fell prey to the collapse of Indymac Bank, our mortgage company who filed an illegal foreclosure on us despite having never been so much as a day late on any installment payment on our loan in 9 solid years. Mark Stopa was the third attorney we sought, after the first two local attorneys t...hat we paid (lots) did nothing constructive for us whatsoever. The shock and depression of being in serious risk of losing our sentimental home due to the wrecklessness and fraudulent acts of a bank put a serious strain on our marriage as we watched our dreams crumble in front of us (we had put down our life savings on the property and worked hard to double up on our principal payments nearly every month in order to become debt free quickly, and suddenly our credit score of 802 plummeted to well below 500, resulting in a sad divorce and a looming sense of hopelessness). While Mark slowly worked his foreclosure magic for us over the next several years (he ultimately won our case late last year) his amazing paralegal Angela Schaefer regularly offered late night updates around my busy schedule, detailed instructions preparing me for court, patient and informative clarification of dozens of motions filed, and many considerate gestures of kindness and encouragement throughout the years as I believe she truly sensed my distraught frame of mind and growing sense of hopelessness. Angela is undoubtedly a tremendous asset to the Stopa Law firm. Her loyalty and dedication to Mark is unwavering and crystal clear. There were so many times when I thought to myself early on that "this girl has got to be a family member, she's always up late working on these cases, consisistently demonstating the ultimate professionalism and concern". I can't say enough good about Stopa Law, with Angela undoubtedly being as instrumental as Mark in helping to restore our family's hope.

Ferocious Defender

Our journey with Attorney Stopa and his staff began several years ago. Throughout the process his team has been accessible while providing peace of mind and direction. My wife and I went from hopelessness about our rights to our home to confidence in confronting all of our options head on. I would... more than recommend Mark Stopa as a guidance through all anxieties when facing the loss of your home.

Successful Foreclosure Case

We hired Mark Stopa and his team in 2011 at the start of a Foreclosure suit that threatened our home ownership. For a reasonable yearly fee allowing 5-6 hours of service each year. We were satisfied that the suit had been postponed for over 6 years by the plaintiff bank. Also, Stopa's law firm is not... for people who need a lot of hand holding by an attorney. My wife and I continued our life and our career during this interval, putting money aside for other things. On Valentine's Day 2017, we finally had our day in court with Mark Stopa himself representing us. He won the case for us giving us our house back free and clear. I can't say enough about Mark and his staff attorneys and his office team. He is a class act and his team is a reflection of his integrity and dedication. If you need a foreclosure attorney with talent and skill for the task., Mark Stopa has what you need.
