Grateful

Mr. Ruza was a persistent and determined work force in helping us resolve our home loan modification. Over a two year process, Mr. Ruza never quit fighting on our behalf. He remained positive and continued to encourage us as we questioned when and if we would ever get a resolution! We were referred t...o Mr. Ruza by a co-worker who had a good experience and out come and we will continue to refer him to others.

Though at times he had an "attitude" - he has to deal with allot of arrogant people, so I can look past that - he did a wonderful job for me -- it is most important that you keep him informed and be honest with him -- he can't help you if you don't -- Did a great job!

Time served

First let me say the last four year has been grossly challenging. However,Mr. Ruza worked on my case for more than 2 years..2 years I tell you.. all while I was working with another attorney on a chapter 13 case. Mr.Ruza kept me informed ..He was a perfect match for me.

Stand up guy

I am writing this letter in regard to Steven Ruza of the Home Legal Group, when my wife and I were in desperate need of legal help to save our home from foreclosure we met with Mr. Ruza, he immediately put our minds at ease and insured us that he would do all he could to help us out. We left there th...at day which was a Sunday afternoon, feeling better, but still a bit scared. Whenever we would receive anything in the mail, phone calls, or when people would come right to our door all we had to do is call Mr. Ruza and he would take care of it. His assistant Jen Talas is another amazing part of his team she would email back very quickly or call. Steven Ruza helped us save our home and we will forever be thankful for him and his team’s constant hard work. Sincerely,
