Melissa Ann Huelsman

I still have all my documents, all my e-mails to & from Melissa H.- Seemed to be intelligent, but would not address my Predatory Lender situation.She always had an excuse, or out of town etc. you name it, she came up with an excuse. So I fired her- She talked me into hiring her again, same thing happ...ened. So I fired her again. Too Bad, I think she goes thru some emotional stuff up & down, but she never helped me at all! I got my money back from her too. I ended up having to learn all this Fraud, Predatory Lending Crap myself. I still have my house- Thanks to me, NOT Melissa Huelsman. This was about 5 years ago or so-it is a nasty situation to have to deal with though- I think she can do great work if she wouldn't OVERLOAD herself so badly. She can be rather strange I thought anyway. But best of luck to anyone who uses her- she is very capable I believe. But wasn't helpful in my matter at all- It was hard to figure out what to do, but I did it!! YEAH !!!

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".

In 2008 the Recession brought a drastic downturn in automobile sub-prime lending. I had been successfully employed in this industry for 15 years. Clearly in 2009 it was over and, I had held on for too long. This resulted in falling behind on our mortgage payments. My wife and I unsuccessfully sough...t-out a loan modification with our lender several times during the next 9 month period. Then the government sponsored Home Affordable Mortgage Program (aka: HAMP or Obama Plan) arrived on the scene. It was made available to lenders like ours. Because of our attachment to the house we had called "home" for 13 years we chose the HAMP plan over selling it and taking our equity of approximately $250,000. We thought we had entered the Trial Period of the Plan. It consisted of making three months of reduced payments. These payments were supposed to be an amount close to what our actual HAMP payments would be after we completed the qualification period. This was all documented in the the Plan contracts sent to us by our lender. Three months in to the Trial Period we were felt our position was good and that we were successfully completing the qualifying period. We were now waiting on the modification "contracts". Then, on the SIXTH! month the lender quit withdrawing funds from our account. When we asked why they responded that we had asked to "be removed from the Plan." Not true! After the lender agreed to review recorded phone conversations they admitted the mistake was theirs. They offered to put us back into the HAMP Plan. After a couple more months of no payment withdrawl we found we never were put into a HAMP modification plan. Moreover, we were being foreclosed upon in very short order! It was time to go see Melissa Huelsman! We elected to litigate with Melissa representing us against the lenders' very capable attorneys. She quickly secured us several Temporary Restraining Orders of foreclosure. The TRO's resulted favorably in "stays" spanning a two and one-half year period. We were very happy! Similarly, favorable opinions were given on her arguments regarding the main issues in our case. Those issues were the actions taken by the lender in violation of the Deed Of Trust Act and the Consumer Protection Act. As well, it was found we would be due Damages for Lost Equity. The end result was that we won our case in a Judicial Mediation. We were awarded a favorable settlement with the lender. In our opinion Melisa A Huelsman is an excellent attorney. She clearly has all it takes to mount a formidable campaign whether taking the offensive or the defensive position. She's smart, fair, knowledgeable, experienced, detail oriented, down-to-earth, tough as nails and personable all at the same time. She also seemed to be well liked by the court and comfortably confident in her knowledge and expertise in foreclosure and predatory lending law. She's a WINNER!
