2nd Mortgage Relief
For a small fee, Mr Falcone has done more than i could ask. I lost my home in 2009 and my 2nd mortgage had begun trying to collect for a home i no longer had. Mr. Falcone was able to diagnose the situation and give me advice on what would be in my best interest. I only really had paid for the initial meeting and he has done soo much more than that. Thanks again.

Saved from a hungry Realty Co.
Mr Falcone saved us from a hungry and unprofessional Realty Co. that we won't disclose. He was upfront with us and is very knowledgeable in real estate deals. He knows the laws very well and could help anyone with real estate problems. He saved us a lot of money and grief. He can help you too. Nate and Barbara

Professional and polite
We had almost given up on collecting the money our deadbeat tenants owed us, but James pursued them all the tenacity of a bloodhound - and we got our money!

Mr. Falcone is an excellent advocate and negotiator
I hired Mr. Falcone twice. Once for a business dispute on behalf of a company I worked for, once to resolve a personal dispute with my HOA. In both cases, Mr. Falcone was knowledgeable, thorough and efficient. He handled both matters for reasonable fees, and gave excellent advise every step of the way.

Review from Preston Trotter
Attorney Falcone was always readily available and responsive. Messages were returned either by email and/or a personal phone call. His experience in real estate was the key to my understanding the options available to resolve my case.

Good attorney, fair billing practices
I have used him on a number of real estate related cases and evictions. Everything was handled well.
