His office Made it Happen

We came seeking the help of Mr. Sulaiman feeling defeated. He honestly really helped us with the simple fact of informing us we had options; something at this point foreign. I had been working with a church organization to obtain a loan modification and as far as I knew there were only two outcomes: ...obtain a loan modification or lose my home; I was stubbornly clinging to the first which of course seemed like the only logical option. After discussing all options, we decided to try the loan modification one last time before moving on to another option, as we still had time. Time. Another concept foreign to me. I was under the impression, with the foreclosure already in place this was a race AGAINST time. We received regular detailed updates from the office (In Spanish a definite plus); this alone provided peace of mind. At this point we became comfortable with the idea that if the loan modification did not work out, it was not the end of the world. The entire family (even I) was on board with regrouping after a few months if the modification did not pan out even started talking about considering moving out of state to Texas and buying a bigger, cheaper home there. The point was I no longer felt trapped & defeated. A short time into it we received a trial modification, something we had come to know through the assistance from the church. By the end of the third month, we were asked to submit a fourth payment at which point we were content with moving on but decided to follow it through. That same week we received the permanent modification documents. The trained staff of Sulaiman Law Group, reviewed the documents & submitted the paperwork for us, following through on our behalf until the very end. They even checked the court docket for us regularly & provided us with a copy showing the foreclosure was dismissed. We are well aware we were part of the small number of lucky ones who actually get a modification that benefits them and working with a number of other organizations before, can honestly say Mr. Sulaiman & his office made it happen.

Super Lawyer and Super Human!

I am currently using Mr. Sulaiman for mortgage foreclosure defense litigation and chapter 7 bankruptcy. I hired him because he came highly recommended and is highly qualified. Not only will you feel better about your situation once you speak with him, you'll walk away knowing you made the right decis...ion to hire his firm. Super knowledgeable, super friendly, always speaks to you in language you can understand. His staff is always courteous and professional. There's no question he more then deserves his status as a "Super Lawyer". The Avengers should make room for a 6th man - they could use Mr. Sulaiman. And remember, with Mr. Sulaiman on your side, creditors beware!!!

Foreclosure advice

I contacted Mr. Sulaiman about my options with a foreclosure. He treated me with respect and took the time to explain the whole mortgage and foreclosure process and presented me with strategies and tactics. Thanks to him I am now informed and empowered with the knowledge and all the facts to fight ba...ck. What other attorney would tell you, you don’t need to hire me to handle your case, spending unnecessary fees, while telling me to contact him anytime with questions. If you are looking for a law firm that will treat you with respect and lay out all the options for you, then you do not need to look any further. By going with Mr. Sulaiman's team, you can rest assured that they will put forth their best effort to resolve your case.

Mr. Sulaiman is an OUTSTANDING lawyer. His work and dedication to "Client satisfaction" is commendable.

I thank him for making possible the Good Life ...we are living now, stress-free and financially stable. God bless him..

Legal Acumen With A Heart

Ahmad Sulaiman embodies the company's vision as stated on his website; dedication, innovation, compassion, and excellence. We hired Mr. Sulaiman to help us with our foreclosure. He treated our family with the utmost respect as we explained the long drawn out circumstances that brought us to our d...ilemma. He gave us his full attention and made us feel like we were his only client and our problems were important to him, personally. He gave us hope for the future, a concept lost to us during this most stressful ordeal. Specifically, he presented us with strategies and tactics with which to deal with the servicer of our loan and shared his expertise in how the case would be handled with opposing counsel in court. He presented several financial scenarios including bankruptcy to ensure we had all of the legal and financial data required to navigate our world of foreclosure going forward. Above all, he was kind to us and always reassured us we were not alone in this crisis. He understood our fear but wanted us to leave with our heads up, and empowered with the knowledge and facts to fight back. No question went unanswered and he made sure that we fully comprehended our options. Ahmad Sulaiman is a man of integrity who is worthy of your trust in the realm of his firm's legal matters. He is also a compassionate human being who will make sure you leave his office knowing you have choices. It's a testament to his legal acumen and human nature that he can impart hope to his clientele.
