Foreclosure Collection

C & H was recommended to me by Lawyers Title, and the recommendation was solid. Coby and his team handled the case professionally, efficiently, little involvement by me and collected the funds expeditiously after the Notice of Default was recorded. Just sent the check

Superb service from start to finish

Hired Coby Halavais to file a Notice of Default and to handle the subsequent process. Knew it was going to messy and challenging so I did not want to attempt it myself. I looked for someone knowledgeable that could deliver results. Coby exceeded my expectations. He kept everything on track and ha...ndled all aspects capably and efficiently which allowed me to have peace of mind. His expertise and negotiation skills ultimately allowed me to avoid a trustee sale and collect on my note. Definitely a great result!

Highest Recommendation

While attempting to do my own Notice of Default on a judgment foreclosure (a fool for a client?), a search turned up Coby's reference. Initial consultation, laid out an aggressive plan (which included a lise pendance for an additional, as yet, unlitigated claim resulting in additional recovery follow...ing defendant's dismissed BK filing, in large part due Coby's strong objections) and remained firmly on top of the usual court system maneuvering. Property sold with 100% recovery of all principal, interest, post judgment, legal fees and court costs. This case was handled as well as any previous action I've been involved with. Highly recommend him to anyone needing his areas of expertise. Hoping to avoid further litigation, but would welcome his representation if necessary.

Going to Trial with Coby

If you have a real estate related case then he is the attorney you need to hire. He represented me on two different cases and we prevailed on both. He is very sharp, intelligent and knows about other similar cases. Since he has done the real estate related cases for a long time and has retained the... related information, due to his excellent memory, he does not need to spend time on research. His rates are also reasonable for his caliber.
