Municipal Law Eminent Domain Practitioner

Brendan Delay showed his tenacious talents when the City of Columbus sued a limited liability company on Morse Road. Columbus wanted to pay a small amount of money for property to widen a road, but also wanted to narrow the entrance driveway and take down the old business sign. Brendan Delay held... out until almost the end. The entrance driveway was kept wide for the used car dealership, the sign was not condemned and much better money was paid. This was almost ten years ago. He knows that area of law. Very happy.

Greatest Attorney in Cleveland!

BRENDAN SUED INVADING COMMERCIAL LANDLORD AT ONCE FORCING DAMAGES PAYMENT The landlord of our limousine and bus garage invaded our space with two tractor trailers on the coldest day of winter 2014. Our company's limousines and garages were blocked in. Brendan Delay gave some great advice to take pho...tos when the police could not reason with the landlord, writing up a lawsuit fast, then suing in court the next day. The photos of the invading tractor trailers when shown to the judge put a sag in the landlord and his lawyer, and they paid damages and ended the lease and their rigged up Counterclaim. When Brendan took the deposition of the landlord, he had to admit what his company did when the pictures were put in front of him. Brendan made him pay. Our company got justice. He made sure we stayed in operation. Thank you Brendan!

A Foreclosure Expert

In the heart of the Great Recession of 2008 - 2009, I found myself falling behind in my mortgage payments. In late 2009 my lender filed a Foreclosure Suit against my property. I thought I could handle resolving it myself using the Federal programs which had been established such as the HAMP program... and the Making Home Affordable Program. I kept filling out forms, and sending in documentation, but it was like mailing information into a black hole. They kept saying my documents were not on file. Finally, in August 2010 I realized I needed help and hired Brendan. Four months to the day later, in December 2010, Brendan secured a Dismissal of the Suit. It was a stressful, tedious 4 month procedure, but ended up with about $40,000.00 in back due payments being added back to my principal balance, and my mortgage interest rate dropping from 6.875% to just 2.5%. Brendan outright saved my home for myself and my family. He's an incredibly talented, intelligent Attorney. I have since used on his services on various small business matters, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing help with Foreclose, Small Business, and a variety of other practices.

Foreclosure/Credit Card Debt

Mr. Delay was very knowledgeable and helpful while going through the confusing process of a foreclosure. He was responsive to all of our questions and kept us informed of the status of our case on a regular basis. He also helped us with some credit card debt and was able to help raise our score and... negotiate credit reporting with the foreclosure situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know going through a foreclosure or dealing with credit card debt!
