Bankruptcy and Debt 90%

Have assisted clients save their homes from foreclosure or their cars from repossession. We have also stopped our client's wages from being garnished. I am also happy to have helped countless clients remove their second mortgages from their homes. As a result, such clients are in a better position to keep their homes, not to mention all the money they save. Lastly, I find it hard to imagine how credit card companies charge so much interest so removing credit card debt is always special to me

Personal Injury 10%

I am proud to be able to assist my clients that have been injured in a vehicle accident. Having an accident is always a traumatic process. We are able to help in the process of having their injuries treated by the proper medical professional and also assist our client with the process of having their vehicles repaired. Last, but not least, we make sure our clients receive the compensation they deserve for their injuries and the pain and suffering they have experienced.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Missed a motion deadline, now bankruptcy discharged. Home in jeopardy.

Lawyer failed to respond to a motion within 14 days, and did not notify me of the motion. As a result, my Bankruptcy has been dismissed. My house is in jeopardy. I emailed him on Wednesday. He did not call me Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Lawyer failed to inform me and my mortgage company that ...his address changed, resulting in important documents not being received for several weeks, and a delay in my mortgage assistant decision. I asked the lawyer for weeks about important mortgage documents sent to his attention, and for weeks he did not inform me of his address change. Lawyer lied to me to get me off the phone once. Lawyer left rude voice message after I would not agree to pay him $1500 to convert to Chapter 7. He said, irritated, " I don't know what you're so confused about". Lawyer would not reply to my 6 email inquiries about my mortgage assistance application requiring action on his part, until I made an online complaint about him. Lawyer would not mail time -sensitive documents to my home, even though I explained I had just gotten out of the hospital and was weak and without a car. He also refused to provide the due date listed on the paperwork; he lied and said he has a "client in the office". I had to travel over 60 miles (120 miles total) to retrieve the documents that required a notary. As it turns out, the documents were overdue; that's why he did not want to tell me the date. Lawyer has become increasingly dismissive and unconcerned. One time we were discussing my case by phone for several minutes then he says, "Oh, I thought you were somebody else".

4 days before the Auction of my condo

For months I attempted to get a loan modification through a well known bank to no avail. I received a call from a company that I was dealing with notifying me of the auction of my condo that was scheduled to take place in 4 days and the only option I had left was to file for Bankruptcy-Chapter 13. I... called my sister at about 4:45 p.m in the evening and she recommended Devin Sawdayi because she had dealt with him in the past and was very impressed with his services. She called Devin on a 3-way and within a matter of 20 minutes he provided me with the necessary information to start the process. I completed the initial credit counseling course. I met with Devin in office on Saturday, I provided him with all the necessary information that he needed to start the process and on Monday morning he filed the papers with the Bankruptcy Court and stop the sale of my home. The entire procees took place in a matter of 4 days. I am still in my home as a result of Devin's hard work and concern about my situation. I would recommend him to anyone who is in trouble and needs a professional and caring attorney.

Best Attorney for Bankruptcy Cases. Compassionate, Understanding, Sensitive, Returns Calls...He truly cares about his clients.

Mr. Sawdayi was recommended to me by my good friends in Stevenson Ranch, CA. I had interviewed several other bankruptcy attorneys and they all had the worst scenario for me. When I contacted and met Mr. Sawdayi and staff I left the office with hope and a bright future ahead. Mr. Sawdayi has the expe...rtise to assist all with credit card debts, preventing homes from foreclosures, trust sales, etc. He has been sensitive to my needs, returns my calls and goes the extra mile. Mr. Sawdayi not like other attorneys does not charge for phone and office consultation. He has payment plans so his clients can afford his services. I highly recommend Mr. Devin Sawdayi to be your attorney if ever a need arises for a bankruptcy attorney. He has compassion for his clients, is knowledgeable in his field and answers all his clients questions when they feel like throwing in the towel. Mr. Sawdayi has been a blessing to me and I will pass on his name to all that need his assistance. Thank You Devin for caring about me and giving me hope regarding my home. GOD Bless you. You are the BEST in your field!
