Robert Kurtis Abernathy is working on saving my home from foreclosure

I was going to lose my home in a few days and I thought for sure it was gone until Robert took over my case. Another attorney told me they could help but I had to come up with quite a bit of money for them to even start a file on me. Robert called me out of the blue about my case and . It was so f...air that I was able to say yes to him taking my case. He called me almost daily keeping me updated on anything that might have changed or other possibilities for to save my home. He's gotten the sheriff's sale postponed and is working with the mortgage company to make sure I am treated fairly. I'd recommend him highly.

Robert was very helpful and was quick to respond to emails, phone calls and texts answering any questions we had. We'd definitely recommend him! Thanks Robert!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
