Darren Anthony Fish

About a year and a half ago I lost my largest client, Lutheran Family Mission. I had an $80,000 a yr contract with them they lost their funding mid year due to state of Illinois budget cuts. I contacted Eastern Savings bank and they said they would work with me. I sent two payments with money or...ders both 15 days or so late thinking i was ok, only to have them sent back to me uncashed with a letter to be foreclosed on or get current. i could not right that moment. I was terrified. When i originally got the financing the agent told me he would refinance me after six months at a lower rate, but none of that happened and he became difficult to reach. I called eastern savings bank and talked to three different representatives who promised to try to reduce my interest rate. but nothing happened and the clock was still ticking.. I was in my car listening to WLS or WGN and heard an ad from the Fish Law firm. I called that day and made an appointment the next day up north at an office on north river road. I met with Darren Fish. Showed him my documents, the returned uncashed money orders and written correspondence from the bank. He made me feel like i had hope. I paid my retainer and got started. The Bank initially tried to go around the attorney with letters and calls but i notified the firm every time that happened and eventually it stopped. I was disheartened. I had just loss an estate fight for the property. My Aunt willed me the property free and clear, my whole family knew her intentions but even though her attorney had the will she got sick and died before it was executed. My uncles and their families abide d by her wishes but aunts were money hungry, took me to court and won. so i had to refinance for $150,000 (worth about $310,000 then). Time was of the essence so i settled for a high interest rate to get them out of my hair. Darren impressed me. he was personable and straight forward. he made no promises but was obviously passionate about big banks not being fair to mortgagees like me. we are still fighting. my mortgage with assessment is $2,851 and i have saved 1201 for 13 months (my assessment is 900) and have over $15,000 to move if i ultimately loose the property. I hope i can negotiate keeping it because of the sentimental value. But i am prepared for either case. Don't panic or feel trapped. Call Darren You can make the bank slow down and respect you. I am completely pleased with Darren and his team of attorneys and office staff.
