Thank you Jason!

In my contact with Mr. Estavillo,I found him very knowledgeable about my reason for calling his firm. I had interviewed several other lawyers, and none of them gave me the confidence that Mr. Jason Estavillo gave me.
Being in real estate and having experienced in several bankruptcy, and foreclosures, he absolutely knew the related legal avenues that one has to follow to get the best result for success.
Foreclosure Law - Representing homeowners against the banks. Successfully gone up against big banks such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, US Bank, The Bank of New York Melon, HSBC, Aurora Loan Services, Nationstar and many more.
All disputes involving purchase and sale or lease agreements (performance, non-disclosure, misrepresentation, construction).
Title, boundary dispute, easement litigation
JASON FIGHTS TO KEEP FAMILIES IN THEIR HOMESYOUR BEST DEFENSE AGAINST REAL ESTATE LAW DISPUTES.REAL ESTATE LITIGATION EXPERT REPRESENTING COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS ACROSS CALIFORNIA. ON THE FOREFRONT OF FORECLOSURE LITIGATION REPRESENTING HOMEOWNERS AGAINST THE BANKS SINCE THE 2010 FORECLOSURE CRISIS.
There is nothing I like more than keeping our clients in their homes and keeping the American dream of homeownership alive.
The 2008 Financial Crisis, coupled with the corruption of the banks and Wall Street to illegally and improperly secure new loans, displaced millions of homeowners and their families. After many years as a Real Estate and Business Law Firm specialist, I decided to begin my own practice with a focus on Foreclosure Law and Real Estate Litigation. Having worked for both large and medium-sized Bay Area firms, I was exposed to the huge overhead costs most firms today charge their clients. I knew I could provide clients with the highest level of representation while not charging the enormous overhead if I opened my own practice.
I am very proud of our efforts not only as Real Estate litigation experts but also as a law firm dedicated to preserving the rights of homeowners against the Big Banks. When a property is illegally foreclosed upon, people have rights, and we are here to enforce those rights for them.
With over a 90% success rate in helping families facing imminent foreclosure stay in their homes, we are continuing our focus to undue the damages caused by the Financial Crisis and prepare for the next housing crises.
Today, the firm has hundreds of clients, many of whom are in the foreclosure litigation area. We are on the forefront of foreclosure litigation representing homeowners against the banks for over nine years. We have successfully gone up against banks such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, US Bank, The Bank of New York Melon, HSBC, Aurora Loan Services, Nationstar (Mr. Cooper) and several more.
Our personalized approach and superior service sets us apart from our competitors. We don't use boilerplate legal arguments and we will always treat you with respect, empathy and understanding.

Very Knowledgable
Jason was gracious enough to spend some free time with me on the phone to answer a few questions regarding a potential foreclosure situation. He was able to answer all of my questions and provide advice on the best way to proceed. If it turns out that I am in need of an attorney to represent me in this matter, I will absolutely use Jason without hesitation.

I can confidently recommend this firm.
We came to the law offices of Jason Estavillo late into an ongoing construction contract dispute.
Him and his team did an amazing job of quickly taking control of the case. They delivered outstanding service and showed their knowledge and experience by taking us through the process smoothly and seeing the case to a settlement we were pleased with. I can confidently recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal representation.

Wow where do I begin, I contacted the Law Offices of Jason Estavillo on a Wednesday. We were down to the wire and in need of sound legal advice. Jason took my call for a free 30 minute consultation and the call went over by 20 minutes. He listened and gave great advice. Once we made the decision to hire them for the case this office has done everything to assist and direct us in the right direction. The staff has always been professional and understanding. The attorney assigned to our case was knowledgeable and handle our case beyond what we would have expected. We are so grateful for the work they have done and proud to say they went above and beyond the call of duty. It warms my heart to know that people truly care and are not just working for money but for the greater good. If you're in need of sound legal assistance I highly recommend the Law Offices of Jason Estavillo

Foreclosure
We are behind on our mortgage because of financial hardship,we received a pre-foreclosure notice from the bank which is when I called Jason.
He gave me as much time as I needed to go over all the possible outcomes and explained in detail the process and what the plan would be to keep our home.
I found Jason to be an absolute professional and extremely personable.

Kind and knowkedgable
Jason is the right attorney. In my mini interactions with attorneys working in law-enforcement for over 26 years, you get to know who’s good and who’s not. Jason and his team go out of the way to make sure all the facts are in order to guarantee a high success at prevailing, not just a bunch of empty promises! Jason and his team took the time to meet with me in person and discuss every step of the case. Kevin and Catlin have been wonderful in communication and timely response as well as timely filing. You’re not gonna find more experienced, intelligent, hard-working and up-to-date knowledge specializing in foreclosure law then Jason. This man really cares about his clients and takes the time to research cases just like a good trial attorney would.

Great Attorney with an Amazing Staff
I contacted Jason Estavillo for my Sister and Daughter who needed help with a foreclosure on their house. They hired Jason in December of 2014 who was quick to stop the foreclosure in a very short time. They are still in the house due to his diligence. We are thankful for finding his law firm on the internet. We were given a free consultation and felt very confident by speaking to him that he would do a great job for us. We are so very glad that we made the right decision. His law firm really does care about his clients. We also decided to hire his law firm for another case where the previous attorney said we needed someone who was knowledgeable with the appeal process. The previous attorney felt strongly that if we hired the right attorney that we could appeal the case and win that appeal. We are now in the process of the appeal on that case as well as the one on the house. We are so very appreciative that Jason Estavillo was able to take both of these cases which were both from previous attorneys and were both for unlawful foreclosures. Jason Estavillo is the best attorney that we have ever seen. He is very confident and knowledge with the law. Jason and his staff are remarkable people. They are all there as a team working to help us and answer any and all questions that we have had. His law firm has been very on top of what is happening with our case at all times. We know that he is the very best attorney we have seen that strives for making the process easier at a very stressful time in our lives. We are so happy to have him fighting for us.

Very happy with Jason Estavillo
I recently engaged Jason Estavillo for legal services in connection with keeping my home. I'm an attorney myself (that's why I'm posting anonymously), but I don't practice the type of law Jason specializes in.
Jason has been great. I've been able to stay in my home as a result of his efforts. He's not a miracle worker; it's been hard. But he's achieved very, very good results for me and I've been very pleased with his results so far. He's a very good communicator and an effective advocate. I'd recommend Jason to anyone seeking a strong advocate for foreclosure litigation.

Competent, courteous, honest professional with excellent staff
We retained Jason Estavillo in November of 2016 (about six months ago as of this writing). We had a foreclosure sale pending, and there was some fiasco with a pro-se lawsuit filing drafted by a legal aid that we needed to fix. We did a huge amount of research and talked to a lot of people with mortgage issues before retaining Jason. Google the lawyer and see if he's ever made the news for anything mortgage related. Check the court's online system and see if he's actually filing TRO's and preliminary injunctions and setting trial dates. Many of the lawyers our there simply don't show up anywhere when you search for them. Or once you hire them, you can never reach them because it’s just them or them and one overwhelmed secretary. Jason has a full staff of very professional and competent people supporting him including associate lawyers. You can always reach someone even when Jason is in court or is otherwise indisposed.
I have been to his offices and met him and his staff as well as interacted with them via phone and email. They always respond to all my requests and questions right away, and they return my phone calls without me having to chase after them. Jason withdrew our pro-se filing, filed a new case, got a TRO and then a preliminary injunction stopping our sale, and our case is now slowly moving forward through the courts. Based on extensive research, I am of the opinion that Jason Estavillo is among the best if not the best foreclosure attorney in Northern California. And all the experiences I've had with him and his staff since retaining him have done nothing but reinforce that opinion.

Expert Attorney
I hired Jason as my attorney for an ugly business partnership separation. Mr. Estavillo is an outstanding strategic thinker, a valuable asset to his firm, I could not have asked for a better attorney. Jason and his team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout my entire ordeal, I was constantly kept informed on progress and promises were maintained. We ended-up resolving our dilemma after a very successful 12 hour mediation. I highly recommend with the Law Offices of Jason Estavillo if you are looking for an expert council with solid advice & guidance.

Confident and determined.
I found Jason after 2 years of searching for a competent foreclosure attorney. Jeff Barnes, a well known foreclosure attorney, referred me to Jason. I found Jason and trusted him to handle my case. Along with some perfect timing of events like new foreclosure decisions, we have a trial date set and “bank” attorneys are starting to whisper settlement. Jason is an experienced litigator and uses his skills effectively. And just as important as experience and skill, Jason values justice and honesty.

Business Consultant
Mr. Estavillo consulted with me in a predatory foreclosure matter. He was succinct and sincerely wants to help the homeowners who were wrongly foreclosed.
His focus on the San Francisco/Oakland area makes his work even more impactful as predatory foreclosures are aggressive here. The homes are valuable and the lives of the homeowners almost irreversible changed if these foreclosures happen.
I am seriously considering hiring Mr. Estavillo. I would recommend anyone to contact his office if they suspect they are targets of predatory foreclosures.

I wish I could say the same as every one else
My wife and I paid him $7500 all I really needed was for him to get a city police officer that is keeping us from our home to stop meddling cause he ( the cop ) is trying to help an agency squat our home but instead Mr Estavillo started reviewing recorded deeds from the county over billed us so he can keep the remainder of the retainer and if that wasn’t bad enough he was reviewing the wrong person all together and at the end just abandoned us. Good thing I know how to read title I transferred our title in to a trust and perfected title but the city cop is still keeping us from our home. That’s wrong Mr Jason Estavillo. Unfortunately I have to say I know he does know real estate, foreclosure and civil law and he is a great lawyer cause I call it as I see it. I just don’t understand why he didn’t want to help us when we paid him.

I hired Jason for a consulting me on a simple matter. My wife and I feel like we were grossly overcharged. We have made a complaint with the bar association and have requested fee arbitration.
