TRUE SALES MAN WITH A LICENSE! BE CAREFUL!!!

*True story with all the documents, vmails, emails and cashed checks to prove my story, next up State Bar* Client of this firm for 2 1/2 years with zero results and a lot of headache. This firm has had so many employees go in and out that they do NOT even know what is going on with their clients h...omes until the client calls them to let them know there's a sale date posted on the door. Long story short, went to this sales man to save my home. Paid upfront 7k, paid in three installments. Started working on my loan mod got a trial plan within 6 months. My trial payments last 11 months, in that time I called them almost everyday after the last trial payment was sent to follow up on my loan mod. They were all over the place, I worked with about 4 different lawyers from that firm cause they all end up leaving. No one knew what was going on, I had to call them almost everyday for 1.5 years to get them to call the bank and finish my case. At the end the bank denied my permanent mod and refunded my trial payments. This salesman took the check, deposited into his trust account, took out about another 7k to sue the bank. His jr attorney loses the case in court and basically tells my family he will buy us another 6 months after filing bk. But this great guy said BK's on him. *joy* It took my wife three months to save our home with all the missed payments added to our loan and got us a loan mod. We suspected this law firm dropped the ball on our case with missed documents and lack of follow up with the bank. We were right the bank sent us detailed analysis o f why we never got our permanent loan mod. This firm is incompotent and needs to concentrate more on the clients than their marketing. Every time we went in to complain this sales mans answer to everything is "well you lived for free!" Mr Gene W. Choe, I never hired you to live for free. I don't think that is the service you provide, if so, you will be in alot of trouble.

Loan Modification

I was assigned to Denys Rivera and thank you Denys for saving my home! Since my Husband's death, ten years ago, I have had much to deal with. I placed a fraud alert on my accounts and the Bank I did business with, bounced all of my checks and all my client checks while they cashed thousands of doll...ars of fraudulent checks which caused a loss of clients, as they depended on their rent income to make the house payments, some owners also on trial basis for modifications. When some funds were returned to me, my office person of two and a half years, stole all the funds plus my personal funds, while I was dealing with hospital and & medical issues for myself and a son that required brain surgery. Losing my home where I operate my business would have put me in a terrible position at my age of 74 and self proprietor, not at an age to start over. So thank you for never making me feel like I called you too many times or that I was a bother! You were always so professional and courteous and willing to go above and beyond to help me out. When I first met Gene Choe I found Mr. Choe credible and a true professional. Being in the property management business, I have found that a lot of homeowners reached out for help, to no avail. Thank you again Denys for your skills and professionalism! Kudos to the office that hired you.
