You will never think of lawyers in the same way again

Over the past half century, I have had several occasions, both in my businesses and for personal needs, to deal and interact with attorneys. A few have become friends through time. However, for the most part I developed a somewhat cynical opinion of lawyers as a whole. Condescending, impersonal an...d impassionate is how I would describe most of those in the legal profession. How refreshingly different it was over the course of a year and a half of representation by Chae and her wonderful staff at Morris-DuPont. They worked as hard for me as if they were doing so on behalf of a family member. Always friendly and never condescending. Very knowledgeable and professional. Always followed through on every issue. Never failed to return a call expeditiously. And where the partners of most large law firms would seldom be in contact with a client personally, Chae DuPont would be as likely to initiate, return or accept a phone call or email as any of her staff members did. As different as the above-described experience was, so was their fee structure. Yes, they do request the usual practice of collecting an up-front retainer fee. But it was modest and fair. Unlike most lawyers, they did not have their hand out for money after every conversation, interaction or correspondence with the “other side.” In the end they prevailed in our case. But I would have given Chae and her firm a glowing review even if we had not. They literally worked their butts off on my behalf and I firmly believe they would do the same for you.

I AM HAPPY..SO SO HAPPY!!!

After retiring from my job as a federal law enforcement officer in 2011, my monthly pension turned out to be half of what I was making when I was employed with the federal government. The stress was mounting by the day, causing sleepless nights for more than 3 years and relationship problems between ...my wife and me. One Saturday afternoon, I happened to listen to "The Home Mortgage Law Show" on 610AM WIOD, hosted by The Law Office of Morris | DuPont. "The Home Mortgage Law Show" (now called "The Morris | duPont Law Show" was so informative that I found myself listening to the show nearly every Saturday for one year, taking notes and recording portions of the shows on my iPhone's voice memo. My lender, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, would not cooperate with me directly regarding a loan modification because I was current with my mortgage payments. After having my back inch closer and closer to the wall with not many options, I finally picked up the phone and called the Law Office of Morris | duPont in November 2013 and scheduled a free 1-hour consultation. No promises were made to me but the law office's representative thought that they could help me out by getting me some sort of loan modification. I retained the Law Office of Morris | duPont to represent me in trying to obtain a loan modification. I was contacted on a monthly basis to inform me on the status of my request for a loan modification from Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC. In mid-September 2014, I received a phone call from the Law Office of Morris | duPont informing me that they had good news and that Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC had offered me a loan modification!!!. My loan was modified in the following ways: 1) interest rate lowered form 6.625% down to 3.31285% for years 1 - 5 and 4.1% for years 5 - loan maturity [no longer an interest-only loan], 2) a $2,260.37 reduction in monthly payments, 3) still 22 years for loan maturity [I have been in my home 8 years], 4) principal reduction/forgiveness of $406,630.90 [this is not a typo!!!]. Summary: Monthly Savings on Mortgage Payments: $2,260.37; Annual Savings: $27,124.44; Savings Through Loan Maturity: $596,737.68; Principal Forgiveness: $406,630.90; Total Savings: $1,003,368.50. I went from being underwater to having equity in my home now!!! These results that I now am the benefactor of are all because of the Top Notch, Class A legal work performed by the Law Office of Morris | duPont. They are true professionals and definitely know their craft a whole lot better than I do!!! I can now sleep a lot better at night knowing that I can stay in my dream home!!! My amazing and personal results that I have listed above are not to impress any of you. I listed them to merely press upon you that if you are in a situation like I was and feel that there is no way out, pick up the phone and call the Law Office of Morris | duPont at (800) 974-2712. You have nothing to lose!!! I wish that I would have made that call sooner myself!!! Nonetheless, I am ecstatic with my results!!! Although I received my loan modification, I continue to listen to "The Morris | duPont Law Show" every Saturday on 610AM WIOD from 2:00pm-3:00pm because it is so informational for people who may have a financial situation that they need help with. A big "Thank You" to everyone at The Law Office of Morris | duPont for everything that you have done for me and my family this past year!!! You are truly a blessing!!! You have truly saved my life!!! And now, I have to try to save my marriage!!!

Amazing Powerhouse Legal Team!!!!

When the housing market crashed, I was desperate to renegotiate the terms of my loan, my HELOC and my investment property. I did extensive research and met with Ms. DuPont. From our consultation (which was free!) I knew she and her office knew what they were doing. Not only were her prices competitiv...e, but they were able to set me up on an excellent payment plan. Her office is very curious and always quick to return a phone call. I can't say nice enough things about her and her whole team!!!!

Very professional and trustworthy!

Chae duPont is a very professional, knowledgeable lawyer with a lot of experience , she was able to help me with several Real Estate transactions. Her team is not just very friendly but also helpful in many ways. She is very responsive to emails and I will certainly work with her in the future. Whene...ver possible I recommend her to clients and business partners.

A true champion of the people!

From the first time I spoke to Chae, I felt at ease and as though she truly understood my dilemma and the best way to achieve the desired results. Unfortunately I brought her firm into my battle late into the 9th inning and her very talented partner Mr. Morris was able to achieve nearly the impossib...le and buy me time. All of the folks at her firm are highly responsive and understand the process and are very willing to work with constraints as they come up and respond accordingly. I am in a very undesirable situation that was brought about by a force placed insurance policy on my primarily residence. As a result I am facing foreclosure but hope to receive a modification to save my home and I would not have made it this far without Chae and Wil Morris and the rest of their team.
