Melissa Ann Huelsman

If you want a wimpy lawyer who tells you what you want to hear, find someone else. If you want a bulldog, someone who knows the law and isn’t afraid to mix it up with Big Law Firms, someone who will shoot straight with you, then hire Ms. Huelsman. She got us a fair settlement with a Major Bank, slici...ng through their incessant obstacles and obfuscations. We would hire her again.

Mellissa represented me in what should have been a major predatory lending case involving several companies. In a nut shell she failed and I believe profited from this failure. She missed EVERY deadline for my suit. Agreed without consulting me to let case go from Superior court to federal court, A...llowed the documents to be attorney eyes only, the list goes on. But the Judge final motion told it all- I lost, why: Missed All discovery, filed no motions, failed to even ask for damages...WHAT that's why you file a case because you have been damaged. Curiously enough after my case, she was able to move from a basement shared office into her very expensive office.

We were referred to Melissa Huelsman from our bankruptcy attorney. Our lender had denied our 2nd attempt to modify and was preparing for foreclosure. At our first meeting she was very knowledgeable and very up front to the pros and cons of litigation/mediation and the costs. She took the time to u...nderstand where we were at the time and what our end goal was. That was in 2012. The initial servicer, in mediation #1, came unprepared and completely flippant as to everyone's time in the room. Melissa new the questions to ask so all could see this person representing the servicer, 1, had no authority and 2, had no desire to find the person who did have authority. We parted frustrated, but Melissa had a plan. 2nd mediation, again the servicer would not provide the documents required under Washington State law. Melissa swooped in and asked some very clever questions, to which the servicer came back and basically said, yea, we know but we decided we don’t want to. At that point (after much banter) and the mediators continually asking, if the servicer knew they were not acting in good faith, the meeting was over. The servicer got a complaint filed against them to Washington State. (Which we didn't know would assist us in the future.) We were frustrated but Melissa said to wait it out, she knew that bad press for servicers is not good! Melissa knows when to be patient and when to strike. Time went by and sure enough the loan was sold to a new servicer. Through the next span of time that ended up being about 1 1/2 years, she represented us for 2 additional mediations. The 2nd started to show some promise, mainly because Melissa Huelsman new every detail of our loan and our situation. Her knowledge of Washington State law and predatory lending laws is outstanding. We never made it to mediation #3. The servicer postponed several times, then a few days after the final postponement, we received word from Melissa that the servicer was offering us a modification, to review it, and she would call us that night. We talked late into the night about the modification and the work Melissa and her team had been doing to get this negotiation done, make sure we were protected and that moving forward with the modification was in our best interest. We were very satisfied with the results. It was a long haul, but we knew Melissa Huelsman and her team had our back the whole way. From the day we hired her, we just felt safe and well represented. In our opinion Melisa A Huelsman is an excellent attorney. She knows her stuff, goes forward confidently into mediation, is very, very detail oriented, is tough and to the point but is still kind and respectful to everyone in the room. She seems to know and understand every detail that will assist in a successful mediation for her clients. Not only would we refer Mellissa to people who need her services, we already have!

As a new client of Ms. Melissa Huelsman's, I walk away from our initial consultation regarding a predatory lending situation with a renewed sense of confidence in our judicial system here in the great state of Washington. Ms. Melissa strikes me as a veritable fireball of enthusiasm in her field of le...gal expertise. Straightforward, no nonsense honesty is engrained in her persona. Her Biography reads like a who's who in the world of consumer advocacy. Ms. Melissa's victorious accomplishments taking on large financial institutions is to be commended. Bringing the hammer down on MERS scams proves she is fearless in the face of any formidable adversary large or small, powerful or weak. If you or someone you know are facing issues regarding the loss of security associated with a foreclosed domicile, run, don't walk, to LOMAH for advice on bringing swift resolution to your desparate circumstances.. Be prepared to hear the truth and to tell the truth, as to do otherwise would clearly be a waste of her valuable time. An Attorney possessing the skills of forthrightness and fearlessness is rare in today's litigation oriented society, but thankfully I found a hound that bites hard in this woman and that is exactly what I need in the midst of this crises. Although I am a new client and have absolutely no idea how our case will play out in the long run, I guarantee there will be no more wrestless days and sleepless nights. To put it simply, I feel confidant as I place my trust in her high degree of competency that "this too shall pass".

We hired Melissa when we were facing foreclosure, and were denied by our lender for modification 4 times. Melissa is an excellent attorney. She is straight forward and doesn't give false hope. She only agreed to take our case because she thought we had a chance to win. Throughout the process she w...as responsive, courteous, and went above and beyond to answer our questions and make sure we understood everything that was going on with our case. As our case proceeded and we settled with out bank she put us in touch with a non profit organization that could help us finish the terms of the modification with our lender. She suggested this to us because the service from them would be free. She could have said nothing and finished that portion of the modification and charged us but she was really looking out for our best interest. Melissa kept in touch after all was said and done, and she even checked over the final modification paperwork for us. I would recommend her for anyone in WA state facing mortgage problems. My only regret is that we didn't find her sooner in here process! Thank you Melissa!
