Posted by Mark | January 12, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Debt Settlement

Mr. Elrod saved my mother's house from being sold in a constable sale while other attorneys said it was too late!

The Lakeside Improvement Association (the HOA) had filed suit (with a $250K lean on the property) against my 93 year old widowed mother for failure to pay her dues for 3 years and for failing to repair and paint the awning of the front porch! My mother wanted me to try to work out a payment plan with... the attorneys for the HOA but they wouldn't respond to my emails! The case got extended a couple of times and then when case actually went to trial, neither the court nor the HOA's attorneys notified my 93 year old mother of the court date until after the trial's date! Therefore judgement was awarded to the HOA for approximately $4K (with a lean on the property for $250K) which my mother could not pay! So we get notice that the Pct. 5 Constables office had seized my 93 year old mother's house (that's been paid off for years) and was going to sale her house under court order! I kept getting the run around from different attorneys, saying the case was too late or too complicated until I talked to Chad! He said he could handle it and he even came out to the house and met my mother! I found out that this type of case is what Mr. Elroy specializes in! I highly recommend him for any type of debt settlement but especially dealing with HOAs!

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.
