Keeps his Promises

I hired Mr. Setlech 5 years ago to end a nasty divorce, and help me win my house that my Husband didn’t want, but he didn't want me to have it either. Even though it was going through in Kern County Familt Court he took my case after spend. $10,000 on a previous lawyer that did nothing for me . I rea...lized that all of the Lawyers and Judges here in Kern Country seemed to have a day to day personal relationship allowing my divorce to continue even though there or a little assets between us. Mr. Setlich His price and he ended up winning me the house.

Help Homeowners Loan Modification

I can't say enough good things about the staff at Law Office of John Setlich. I have been trying for over a year and a half to negotiate a modification to my mortgage with my lender. Several times we tried and each time we were denied even though we were told we qualified. I didn't know at the time l...enders will do nearly anything to foreclose rather than modify loans. Dealing with lenders is like turning in a test at school and they never tell you what you missed. With the help of the Law Office Lawsuit we were able to turn the tables around to show how serious we are in keeping our home. Providing the courts document proving we qualified and showing how the banks really had to work with. It was incredible the way things changed after that. It was no longer whether we qualified or not but rather which of the programs we qualified for. We have started a trial plan soon which will lead to a permanent modification at nearly $900 per mo less than our previous payment. The staff has been incredible with their assistance and now I recommend all my friends to call for the free consult to see if they can use the help as well. 2 thumbs up to all the staff at the Law Office!!!!

Foreclosure Defense

Knowledge is power and Setlich Law Group provides just that. Two years ago I lost my job and was unable to find work. After several unsucessful attempts at a loan modification, my family was facing forclosure of our home. That's when I contacted Mr Setlich Law Group. His assistant booked an apointmen...t for me to come in and discuss the details of the case. Mr. Setlich and Team walked in and immediately put me at ease. He has demeanor is autoritative but with empathy for your situation. He discussed the steps of the forclosure process, what I could expect given my lender lawsuit filing. In clear terms he provided me the information I needed to do what's best for my family. What impressed me the most is the fact he had our best intrest ahead of his. What could have cost me thousands of dollars did not because Mr. Setlich has integrity. He did not propose a solution that would pull money from my pocket that could help improve my situation down the road. He helped me take an honest look at my situation and make the decision that was best for my family. If you are facing bankruptcy, forclosure or financial hardship, do your self a favor and schedule a consultation with the SetlichLawGroup.com . I can assure you, everyone will sleep better and you will be empowered with the information you need to make the choice that is right for you. Thank you so much Setlich Law Group!

Foreclosure Defense

Setlich Law Group defended me against Bank of America in a foreclosure case. He actually filed a law suit against the bank. My principal was reduced by over $150,000.00 and my interest rate reduced to 2 percent. My family and I could stay in our home and it was not under water anymore. At the end o...f the case he refunded money we paid him that he said he did not earn. Two other lawyers actually told me to use Setlichlawgroup.com and now I understand why. Thank you very much to the Setlich Law Group Team for helping my family from foreclosure and saving our home.

BEWARE OF PILLED ON CHARGES

***ALERT TO ALL FORMER AND CURRENT CLIENTS*** ***PLEASE REVIEW ALL YOUR ORIGINAL AND FINAL INVOICE STATEMENTS*** I hired the law offices of John R Setlich based on the great reviews on Yelp, entrusting him with several cases from child support matters, restraining orders, and a civil suit: paying o...ver $35,650 in funds over time. Unfortunately, our attorney client-relationship derailed when the attorney breached our contract by failing to provide me with the level of legal representation that was promised. After terminating services and receiving my final statement, I discovered several discrepancies between the original and the final invoices. The discovery led me to over $6,756.50 of pilled on charges that were NOT on the original invoice statements and $5,864 of missing payments that were not applied to my account. Since I brought the matter to their attention, they refused to take my calls by continuously hanging up on me. We are going on four months and have yet to receive a refund for overpayment. This law firm is taking advantage of their clients. A complaint has been filed with the State Bar of California.
