Posted by Lindsay | February 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Modern Day Hero

2009 - Not a good year to get divorced. The minute the dissolution filed my credit limits plunged, my interest rates went from 7.9% to 29.9%, the economy tanked, my house was underwater, my interest only mortgage was about to adjust and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage was not interested in modifying the l...oan for a self-employed single mother. After consulting with my financial advisor and family friend/attorney it was becoming clear that bankruptcy was my only option, to avoid complete financial ruin. I was emotionally crushed at the prospect of filing a Chapter 13, but when Wells Fargo was especially nasty with me threatening foreclosure after 1 late payment, I knew I had to do something to protect my investment and my legal rights. My dear neighbor suggested I call Javed Ellahie. I made an appointment for a free consultation and it turned my life around. Javed patiently listened to my story. He asked some basic questions and made his suggestion. He calmed my fears, he explained everything in a very kind and helpful manner. When my armor started to crack and tears began to fall, he was there with a box of tissues. For me, he filled the void of a wise mentor who was looking out for my best interest and the interest of my child. Throughout the process Javed and his team were prompt in response of questions. Javed walked me through everything. He has been a blessing in our lives. From beginning to end Javed has been my rock, my champion, my advisor and yes, my hero! With my bankruptcy discharged at the end of last year, I am moving forward. I have begun to rebuild my credit and am preparing to sell my house (at the top of the market) instead of losing it to the black hole economy. I have and will continue to refer Javed Ellahie to any good person facing financial difficulties. His advice was sensible and sound, he is incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented. A stellar attorney and all round good person!

Lindsay: Thanks for the thumbs up (the "Hero" part little embarrassing :-) but clearly you deserve full credit for dealing with your issues head on, continuing to keep your cool and concentrating on the excellent services you provide your clients to make your business successful. I am fortunate to have clients like you who understand what it takes to get through legal proceedings, have an understanding of the intricacies of the law, feel comfortable in reposing their trust in the attorney, and fully participate in making their case successful. The best work that lawyers do is dependent on having the best clients. Wishing you the Best. Javed

Legal issues? Mr. Javed Ellahie is the one to see.

My wife and I have known Mr. Ellahie for many years now, and we have also been a client of his. I found Mr. Ellahie to be a professional of impeccable integrity. He is extremely helpful and understanding of the client's concerns and issues. His knowledge of law and his handling of our case has bee...n outstanding. Mr. Ellahie is a model member of his community, and is at the forefront on all civic and social endeavours. He commands the highest level of respect among his colleagues, his friends, family, and the community where he resides. I would unequivocally recommend him as a first class legal counsel, a trusted confidante, and a thorough gentleman.

Mr. Ellahie is great!

Mr. Ellahie helped me with my bankruptcy case. I was going through tremendous financial hardship at the time. He was knowledgeable, kind, understanding, and patient. He walked me through the case step-by-step. Whenever I don't understand any issue, I was able reach him or his staff by phone or em...ail. As the matter of fact, 2 years after my case was closed, one of my out-of-state property finally got foreclosed. It is from one of those judicial foreclosure states so the bank has to sue me to foreclose on the property. I didn't know quite what to do. I contacted Mr. Ellahie for advise. He immediately responded and let me know what I should do. He even took the time to review the lawsuit from the bank. Remember, my case was already closed. He does all of these out of kindness and care for his client. I can't recommend him enough.
