Negatively concerning Attorney Ernest B Fenton.

I won't be specific about the help that he has provided me concerning the owning of my home/property that I love so much that's paid in full. Without his knowledge and expertise I know I would still be renting an apartment. He is not just an attorney that I hired he is like a therapist for property o...wners. Seriously in my professional opinion you cannot hire a better, more realistic, knowledgeable no-nonsense attorney in this world.

Don’t waste your time

I contacted Attorney Fenton about a Land Trust after seeing his commercial. After paying in full and signing the documents, I noticed some errors and contacted the office. After no one called me back that week I started leaving messages the following week. After 2 weeks I finally got a call back and ...was told by a very RUDE woman that the Attorney was busy. After I explained the situation, she told me to be patient and hung up! I was appalled! I can’t believe how was I was treated, I’m now looking for a new attorney...

Great Attorney

Attorney Fenton and his staff stopped me and my family from losing my grandmothers home. After she passed, we discovered she was behind on payments. It was a complete mess. Glad he was able to assist us in assuming the mortgage and resolving the delinquent mortgage.

Worst Attorney EVER!

I recently contacted Attorney Fenton's office about putting my home in a land trust. I paid the fee's he required and expected updates on my paperwork. After following up, I found out the paperwork was never completed. I called his office repeatedly and was never allowed to speak with him directly.... His staff was extremely rude and incompetent as if I, the client, was inconveniencing them by asking for updates on a case he had already been retained for! I ended up firing Attorney Fenton, eating the money I lost, and hiring another Attorney who got the job done quickly and professionally. I was extremely disappointed and offended! I will never recommend this attorney to anyone!
