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.

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.
