Greta, thank you for giving us the opportunity to speak to you regarding your mortgage situation. The team at The Lane Law Firm was ready to jump into action and assist you in obtaining a HAMP loan modification, but we're happy the mortgage company offered one to you without needing to hire us after all. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to helping the folks you refer to us in the future.
