Saved from foreclosure

I had my first phone call with Mr. Stansen about 48 hours before my home of 25 years was to be auctioned in a foreclosure sale. He confidently and quickly led us out of foreclosure and into a conventional and equitable sale of our home with a team of professionals with him. I cannot recommend him h...ighly enough. He was kind and understanding of our stress levels throughout the entire process. A true pleasure to work with.

The Best of the Best

Paul has worked with me on several cases/situations for many years and he has always gone above and beyond for me and my collogues. His knowledge, attention to detail, follow-up and negotiation skills are superb in all matters of real estate and trust matters!

It could not have happened without Paul's expertise and persistance

As real estate investors for 40 years in Ohio, Melissa and I thought we had experienced every challenge in buying and selling properties. We found that selling our vacation home in Santa Ynez had more issues than we could have imagined. Through Paul's leadership we were able to address every issue,... remain firm on our price and not lose the buyer over an extended period of time. We are convinced this never would have happened without Paul Stansen's counsel and for that we are most appreciative. Jack and Melissa Columbus, Ohio

Gets the job done

We were referred to Paul by our real estate agent to assist us with a short sale of our home. From the moment Paul got involved the process went smoothly. He fought for our best interest and kept us informed every step of the way. Paul went above and beyond for us and I would highly recommend him....

He got the job done in a straightforward and professional manner

We hired Paul Stansen to get our $10,000 rental deposit back from a real estate company/landlord and homeowner who weren't willing to return our deposit after we moved out of a rental house. He was smart, tenacious, and determined in his fight to get our money returned to us, reading the contract car...efully and pointing out to the landlord and owner (separately) their obligation to return the full deposit. He sought a second opinion from another firm (at no charge to us) and helped guide our response to the situation with clear and concise communication. He set deadlines for responses from the other parties, communicated actions to be taken, and demanded results from them. He responded quickly and assertively to responses from the parties we were battling. Thanks to him clearly, precisely, and repeatedly spelling out the obligations each party had, they returned our full deposit. We are thrilled with the result!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
