Wrongful Foreclosure

I came to Gantenbein Law Firm in January 2015 after CitiMortgage wrongfully foreclosed on my home and I was evicted. After several attempts to contact CitiMortgage I contacted and met with Keith Gantenbein who accepted my case and put me in contact with Matthew Coombs and Chelsea Blake. From the beg...inning everyone has been great to work with. I was given updates on my case and all my questions were answered in a timely manner. Their experience definitely shows in their work. In the end I got my home back plus damages. I came to this law firm because of the reputation it holds. I will forever be grateful to this team for getting my home back. Thank you Keith, Matthew and Chelsea. I truly feel you are the best of the best.

Saved our home!

I came to Keith and Matthew after trying for 2 years to get BofA to modify my home loan. It was a fiasco. Immediately after my meeting with Keith I started getting responses. It took 4 years as my loan was sold to SLS and then given to their counsel for foreclosure. Matthew and Keith kept after them ...and after 6 long years, I got my modification! I am 100% sure my home would have been foreclosed on if I tried to do this myself. They bring the credibility necessary to get the banks attention to make them understand that the bank was not being straight up and shady practices were not going to fly with my loan. I highly recommend them if you find yourself in this position.

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.
