Posted by Thomas | July 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Thomas L. Pavese Saint Johns, Fl

Mr. Naples is a bright attorney with a promising future who has a penchant for helping his clients. I was on the verge of loosing my home and had searched for better than a year to find an attorney who would accept my case. At the eleventh hour, just when I thought all was lost, Mr. Naples took my c...ase. Dave stood by my side and guided me through the legal process at one of the most difficult times in my life. Through his professional dedication, along with his colleagues at Pycraft Law, Saint Johns County Legal Aid and Saint Johns County Housing Partnership, I was ultimately able to secure a loan modification so that I could continue to live in my home.
