NIGHTMARE

Hired Rasmussen to protect my property before Notice of Default was filed in Jan 2025 and to file a complaint against mortgage servicer & HUD. He knew that the NOD/NTS was recorded and did NOTHING! My home of 30 yrs was sold. The same day he filed the complaint but the complaint is nothing but misinf...ormation and made up lies. He did nothing else and then I was served with eviction and unlawful detainer. He responded to the UD again nothing but misinformation as I found out at trial that he had hired some old man last minute to represent me that had NO idea what was going on. As the judge was reading the response out loud with the judge pointing out that all the wrong boxes were checked, area's that needed to be filled out weren't and Rasmussen checked a box that said I was the renter paying rent. WTF? I lost my home. Charged me about $15k to do exactly the opposite of what I hired him to do. The guy is a scammer! He has 2 cronies working for him that do this tag team conference calls trying to manipulate you into wrong decisions. I strongly believe he is getting kick backs for servicers to bury people that have cases against them. He is bad news!

Unfortunately clients know that attorneys must abide by attorney/client confidentiality and are precluded from defending themselves in a public forum with facts. I can state that there are many inaccuracies in this review. I can though address the disparagement of staff who worked many long hours into the evening. The allegations of fraud against any member of my firm for colluding with lenders are also preposterous and strange. I do understand that the loss of a home can be one of the worst experiences in a client's life and can cause distress and panic. I wish this client well and I hope she gets the help she needs.

solved my problem with hard money lender!

I had a serious problem with my hard money lender for two properties and was facing foreclosure. My apr was sky rocketing at 29% and I was hundreds of thousands of $ in fees. I had some attorney "working" on my case and I wasted thousands of $ and time and it was a nightmare UNTIL I found Dennis Rasm...ussen. Dennis Rasmussen's team were simply the best. The entire staff was nice and polite spent hours with me over the phone taking down my case, making notes and navigating the path to start the lawsuit against the lender. His assistant Brett Patton was extremely helpful and returned all my calls and messages within same day often within 1 hour. They were able to settle my case before the court and I am extremely satisfied and relieved with the outcome. There are only few attorneys who can help with hard money lenders and if that is your situation then Dennis Rasmussen is your solution.
