Foreclosure/short sale

I have contacted Mr Bardine on a weekend and was so desperate and afraid when my mortgage company not only wouldn't work with me to help me save my house but also without hesitation served me with a foreclosure notice Johnny took my call right away that Saturday and not only reassured me that I was ...going to be fine but also started to work on my case that same day giving me all the information that I need to get started. His fees are very reasonable and affordable. After 3 years of fighting my case for me with Wells Fargo (the toughest company to deal with) Johnny was able to get them to approve me for a short sale in lieu of foreclosure. I cannot express enough my gratitude to Mr Bardine and his law firm. They are very courteous and pleasant and never do they show any annoyance or frustration And I have contacted that office a lot. Mr Bardine definitely stands to his words and is always available to discuss and respond to any inquiry.

We have a Winner! A Real Champion, Brilliant and Outstanding Service

During a time of foreclosures and people losing their homes; I found an exceptional lawyer. Johnny comes from a place of integrity; words of gratitude cannot truly express how I feel nor explain the level of service that I received. Johnny and his office use their ingenuity, knowledge, compassion ...and ambition to help you with your case. They truly want you to succeed not because you paid them but because they truly care about you, your family and your situation. Real world law, not this hype you see on TV, where the lawyers take your money, talk legal terminology and you never hear from them again. He calls you back and he breaks it down for you in layman’s terms; so you understand what is going on and what the next course of action is. Johnny was able to get the case dismissed and we won due to his hard work and due diligence. If you need a good honest lawyer who is can get the job done, then look no further Johnny and his team are for you! Thank you Johnny for giving me back my life and my house!

Navigating the Nightmare of Foreclosure

Everyone always talks about the joy of home ownership. It's the 'American Dream', after all. For some folks who have worked hard and sacrificed to become a homeowner, that dream can unfortunately turn into a nightmare. I never once imagined that a foreclosure was in my future, especially not on t...he day that I closed on my new house and could only think about the bright promise of security, safety, responsibility, and connection to my new neighborhood. I never once thought that my salary wouldn't be increased as rapidly as my property taxes and homeowners insurance. I never knew how expensive it would be to replace appliances, an entire air conditioning system, or a leaky roof. I never knew the feeling of upheaval and despair that comes with losing your job and having to move to another city to take a new one. Despite my best efforts, the overwhelming burden of debt crashed over me and the creditors quickly pounced - it wasn't long before foreclosure was a word I was all too familiar with. Not knowing what to do or where to turn, I contacted a friend who recommended that I speak to attorney Johnny Bardine. After one conversation with Johnny, I knew that he was the right person to help guide me through the confusing, intimidating, and scary legal landscape that faced me. He was confident without being cocky, knowledgeable and professional, but still easy going throughout all our conversations. At all times he made me feel like I had options instead of obstacles. Before I knew it, Johnny had taken control of my foreclosure case - he communicated with the bank's attorneys, advised me of all my options, and helped me make the right decisions. Fortunately for me my situation had a happy ending, and although I learned some valuable lessons about home ownership, I wholeheartedly believe two things: I will one day be a better, more responsible homeowner, and Attorney Johnny Bardine is responsible for giving me that second chance. Talk to him - I know he can help you, too.

Johnny kept me informed and was knowledgeable through a tough time and continues to be there as I navigate a foreclosure. I am thankful for his guidance.

Great real estate lawyer

I recently ran into some financial difficulties with my rental property and was underwater. Johnny not only gave my knowledge of my options but guided me through the entire process. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and trustworthy. In the end I short sold my property and couldn't be happie...r with the results.
