Gene Wook Choe

My wife and I actually retained Mr. Choe through his office in San Jose in about April 2012 for the purpose of saving our home which had been placed in foreclosure unlawfully. The manager of his office took our information, and our money, and assured us that he would be able to help us. We specific...ally asked how long the process would take to secure our home. The office manager/lawyer said about 3 months, and also assured us that we would be able to recoup the retainer fee and monthly payments at the end of the process. Neither was done. In addition, this manager/lawyer committed a number of unethical acts in the process - one of which has lead to the need to file criminal charges against him. I realize this doesn't sound flattering at all for Mr. Choe, but I want to make the point that in actuality my wife and I were dealing with a lawyer Mr. Choe entrusted to manage his Bay Area office. I cannot judge whether Mr. Choe had good reason to choose this lawyer to manage his office. In my opinion, Mr. Choe simply made a bad hire. After communicating all that had transpired with this attorney to Mr. Choe, my wife and I were pleasantly surprised by how quickly and well Mr. Choe took over the reins of our case. We are very close to hopefully resolving things with the bank, and I need to credit Mr. Choe's efforts in allowing us to get to this point. Yes, I realize that Mr. Choe has been disciplined by the State Bar. However, based on my personal experiences with Mr. Choe he has demonstrated all the qualities that a lawyer should. I believe he has redeemed himself, and I hope the best for him moving forward. I think he is still an excellent lawyer!

At issue was recovering my foreclosed home and preventing eviction. I had hired an attorney after foreclosure to deal with these issues but after several months he told me he could not help me recover the property or prevent my eviction. I went to Mr. Choe in a desparte conditon. My family was to ...be evicted within days. Mr. Choe was able to injet new life into my claim for the foreclosed property and he was able to prevent the eviction. Because of Mr. Choe's efforts, I was offered a reinstatement of my property by the bank with a very favorable mortgage modifacation. MY FAMILY AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE STREET WERE IT NOT FOR MR. CHOE'S SERVICES. I shall be forever indebted to him.

This Guy will do anything for money including rip his clients off. He files phoney loan modification. He used JAY to draw you in for the kill. He allowed our house to be foreclosed on and the WANTS MONEY TO RESEND THE FORECLOSURE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE BEGINNING. He MUST constantly ...change Attorneys which is why he uses Attorney's fresh out of school. do not trust him!

WITH GENE AND HIS LAW FIRMS GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID AN UNFAIR AND UNREASONABLE ATTEMPT TO FORECLOSE ON THE HOME ON WHICH WE HAVE RETAINED OWNERSHIP FOR 20+ YEARS. MY WIFE AND I HOPE TO BE GENE'S CLIENT'S FOR MANY YEARS TO COME, THE BENEFICIARY OF THE VARIOUS FACETS OF LAW IN WHICH... HIS COMPANY SPECIALIZES SHOULD WE REQUIRE SUCH GUIDANCE AND ADVICE IN FUTURE.
