Mitchell Luke Abdallah

In 2011 my wife and I hired Real Estate Attorney Mitch Abdallah to help us with an allegedly fraudulent bank action by a major American bank. In all his dealings with us Mitch was thoughtful and caring and we are pleased with how our case turned out and how he regularly communicated with us during... this extremely difficult and stressful time. He also helped us quickly understand some of the more difficult to understand legal aspects and timing of events of the Real Estate process. Because of his knowledge and experience in Real Estate law and processes, we were able to remain in our home for several years while in the loan default situation. Because of his pertinent and timely filing of the suit in our behalf, we were able to work out an agreeable solution with the bank which allowed us to remain in our home during negotiations. Unfortunately, the sole wage earner of the family suffered a stroke during this time, which made him unable to work, cutting the household income by more than 50%. At this point, the bank wanted to foreclose. Mitch negotiated a favorable settlement with the bank; which allowed us to attempt to sell our home, which we promptly did, saving us additional heartaches and avoiding severe financial loss. Mitch was the right man for the job.

I initially went to Mr. Abdallah for help with a loan modification. He provided excellent service, but during the process my circumstances changed. He therefore ended up representing me in a bankruptcy, which was handled professionally and expediently. Just to be clear, I made the initial call reg...arding bankruptcy due to a significant change in my financial situation. I was not "steered" or coerced in any manner in this regard. I am now buying a home, and have sought Mr. Abdallah's assistance in navigating this process. For this review, I have put Real Estate and <1 month, as that is my current relationship with him. However, I was first a client over 5 years ago and will return for any need in his area of specialty in the future.

This attorney should never be used for foreclosure defense. Charges 5000 for retainer and does NOT tell you when how or what he is doing with your money until it is spent. I have filed with BBB and CA Bar associate. He uses his brother who is obvious just out if law school and knows squat aboutforecl...isure defense. They mixed my trust account with another and did not know where it was. Run dont walk from this guy!
