Short Sale approval

My wife and I would highly recommend Paul as an attorney for help with a short sale. In fact if we have a legal issue in the future we know who we will go to for help. He is aggressive in a good way, in your corner, to the point and keeps the focus on the facts so you can relax. We felt confident in ...his initial analysis of our situation, and then after hiring him to handle our short sale move forward there was little we had to do. Paul took over, quickly made contact with the bank to get the calls to stop. We never had to talk to the bank. All the threatening letters and material the bank sent we simply faxed to Paul. The bank incorrectly had us down for wanting a loan modification which we never asked for. Paul worked aggressively to get them to fix the mistake fast. We could not believe how quickly Paul then got the bank to signoff on the short sale. He not only got approval for us, but much needed money to relocate and specific language that says the bank cannot come after us for the amount we were short on the mortgage. We feel as if a giant weight has been lifted from our family and now have a fresh start. He's worth every penny. Like all professionals he knows his craft. You just need to follow instructions and stay out of the way. We already have recommended Paul to our family and friends should they need his services.

Paul Stansen is the real deal!

Paul delivered exactly what he promised he would. We were placed in the unfortunate situation of having to short sale our home. Paul was there with us the entire time. His past experience as a realtor and the connections he has made were very helpful in our case. He answered all of our questions ...(and we had many). I have friends that started the same process months before us and they are still trying to figure it out. Paul had everything completed even earlier than we had hoped. Thank you Paul!

Integrity + Experience

Paul Stansen showed us from day one that we were his top priority and he followed thru beyond our expectations. He is the only attorney we would recommend.

Paul Stansen is a very knowledgable, responsive and trustworthy person that has been a great asset to the Real Estate Agents and their clients for many years. I would highly recommend him if you have any needs pertaining to issues you may have if your home is "underwater" and you are having trouble ...keeping up with the payments, have fallen onto tough times and need someone that will go the extra mile to completely review your situation and offer solutions that will be in your best interest.

Attorney

He has successfully negotiated a loan modification on a first trust deed that I had been wrestling with for 1.5 years. He has also assisted me with several of my short sales and as a Realtor this has been very valuable. He kept my clients and myself informed and always did as promised.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
