Not Impressed

I spoke with Rodrigo about eviction defense for my disabled senior mother. He asked for a summary which I emailed. After 5 days without a response I followed up. He responded with an email saying not interested. We never spoke to an attorney. I guess disabled seniors don't rank with this firm.

A True Hero

Mr. Harouni fought for us like a mother bear protecting it's young. He forced the mortgage company to negotiate through their lawyers not their modification department. In doing so, guaranteeing in writing that they would honor their agreement. Without Mr Harouni, we would surely have lost our home.

Super Lawyer

Yes, Kaivan is a certified super lawyer. When I had faced a foreclosure proceeding against Wells Fargo Mortgage (WFM), which is the toughest mortgage servicer in the country, Kaivan took charge and worked expeditiously and diligently. As the case had moved forward and WFM had started weaken its pos...ition, Kaivan kept his charge against them. As a result, WFM had changed their counsel three (3) times. Though at the end of 5 years of battle, I had vacated the home. It was time and a right thing to do due to my marital status change. In addition, he was very fair about his fee. Kaivan is a justice minded attorney and I felt confident in his handling manner. Should you need an attorney or legal advice, I certainly recommend him for your real estate concern. Thank you, Kaivan!

Litigation

Harouni Law Group is definitely the firm to hire if you want to save your home. Period. Carrington Mortgage Services is probably one of the toughest mortgage servicer out there and to make matters worst, Deutsche Bank was my lien holder. I fought them myself for over 2 years and they just won't give ...me a chance and I consider myself as a pretty good negotiator since I am a licensed realtor. To make a long story short, I finally gave up and hired Kaivan Harouni. It wasn't an easy battle at all. In fact, Deutsche Bank brought their big legal guns out, Wolfe and Wyman LLP, a huge law firm from Irvine California and fought us all the way. It got really ugly especially when they called us in for the deposition. The opposing counsel Kelly Beal, who was representing Deutsche Bank was really rude and starting blaming me and my wife for everything that happened to the point were he was already humiliating us. Fortunately, Steven Nguyen from Harouni Law Group was there with us in the room to stop the harassment. Talking about defense and protection, that's what Steven Nguyen gave us that day and never backed down from these so called big shot celebrity lawyers. Steven shut him up. I really got nervous that day and started second guessing Kaivan's technique because I wasn't really sure if pissing off the opposing counsel was a really good idea. Frankly, I even considered firing Kaivan. Since I was already in too deep and committed to Kaivan, I decided to stick with him and go to trial as planned. On the 11th hour, Carrington decided to review me again for a loan modication which they denied again for the 3rd time. Wow, I was finally starting to accept the fact that this is it for me, I lost the case and finally have to move out. Kaivan decided to withdraw the case before the trial so this actually restarted a new default process from scratched which actually worked out to my advantage. So now, after more than a year in litigation, I had to start from scratch and submit a new loan modification package. But Carrington knew that I still had Kaivan representing me so they were very careful this time around because they were aware that if I ever get denied again for the 4th time, a brand new lawsuit is going to be filed against them that could last another year or two. Kaivan's technique finally worked and I got my loan modification finally approved. I will be sending in my first trial period payment next month. This is my 2nd HAMP Loan Modification in 5 years. I am so happy to have saved my home and so thankful to Harouni Law Group. You need a tough and intelligent lawyer like Kaivan if you really want to keep your home. He is the real deal. I have 4 kids and we would have been renting an apartment right now if it wasn't for Kaivan. Home ownership is my top priority. I am glad I met Kaivan. He is indeed a miracle worker. I will forever be grateful to Harouni Law Group. I highly recommend him

Highly recommended

I highly recommend Mr. Harouni. My house was foreclosed by Bank of America when I made a mistake and hired an incompetent lawyer to delay the initial sale. I wanted to buy myself time to bring the loan current. After losing my house, I lost all hope till I found Mr. Harouni by luck. He successful...ly sued, got my house back, my second mortgage was discharged, and new low monthly payment was negotiated. Every time I experienced heart dropping eviction notice, Mr. Harouni responded quickly and effectively to deal with bank lawyer. He always return my questions and concern immediately. I highly recommend his service to all those facing foreclosure or lost their home. God bless him for his honesty and ethical service to protect good homeowners.
