How the Young law group saved my home

When I first fell be hind on my mortgage payments CitiMortgage refuse to modified my loan after more then a year That's when I contacted your firm which was highly recommended by Richard Cohen PC. When I meet Justin he immediately may some calls to CitiMortgage and put me at ease. For more then two... years Matthew Corsta and Kelly me informed and feeling secure. The work and professional help of Matthew Corsta in working with me even when I fell be hind with payments to your firm force CitiMortgage to sell my loan to Seterus Bank. Matthew then secured a modification with Seterus bank which approved a my new loan. Thanks to all of you for your professional help in this matter of saving my home. As I write this review I am highly recommending your law firm to my next door neighbors Susan and Alex to help with there forcloser. I am sure that they will come to the same conclusion as I did. Again thank you. Joe.

Thank you for saving my house!

I had been to several consultations with law firms when I was looking for a lawyer that could help me through my home modification. Just when I was about to lose all hope one of my friends recommended me her lawyer... the young law group. She mentioned that he had made the entire modification process... seem easy and that he was able to assist them in getting their house in Queens modified! Her entire family was ecstatic, that they were able to modify and wouldn’t have to lose their dream home. I decided to go in for my initial consultation, and to my amaze, they were “so real and down to earth”, and I could tell right away, that they truly had my best interest in mind. This is what helped me decide that I was going to go with the young law group in order to get their expertise and guidance in the foreclosure and modification process. My friend was right; they did make the process easier than I had initially thought. I had tried to modify my home on my own and it was a living nightmare!! Their attention to detail, follow up, and follow through the entire case was incredible. The results of my case being approved, confirms that their tenacity, dedication, knowledge, trustworthiness, responsiveness, abilities, skills, and passion to assist clients are some of the secrets to success. Not to mention, as well, that everyone I spoke to at the firm was great, Justin, Matthew and Kathy also made this entire process very comforting and as simple as possible. I would truly recommend the young law group to everyone!!

Responsive and Knowledgeable

I received an extremely troubling letter from attorneys representing my mortgage company (unfortunately on a Saturday, and knowing the mortgage offices were closed). In a panic, I went to the web to search for answers- afraid that I would lose my house. I found great answers alleviating many of my... concerns, all answered by Ivan. I was actually able to sleep! I decided that if I was going to need an attorney- he would be the one I retain. I asked for a free consultation, and received a prompt call back. Fortunately, my issue was due to incompetence by the mortgage servicer (owned by IBM but shall otherwise remain nameless) that bought my mortgage from BOA, and it is likely that I will not need representation, and much to their credit The Young Law Group told me as much. It is very comforting to know that there are places out there like the Young Law Group. Next to the health of your family, nothing is more stressful than the fear of losing your home. Don't go it alone if you find yourself in trouble- they can help.

Foreclosure Defense

I never knew there was such a thing as someone to defend my foreclosure. I found the Young Law Group through my tax accountant and my life has gotten so much better since. They have eased our minds that this is not the end of the world, and we may just be able to figure out a way to save our house.... They don't make me feel like a criminal because we were unable to pay our bills. We moved into a larger home because my kids were growing up and needed more room. Who knew that less than a year later my husband was going to lose his job due to employee reduction. We were able to keep our head afloat for a little while but we just couldn't keep up with the mortgage. It's an embarrassing situation, and it's nice to know there's someone in your corner. We do have some place to turn. They've been very informative, and everything they said they were going to do, they have done. They explained the steps and the process 2 or 3 times and when I receive the documentation it is exactly what they said was going to happen. In the beginning I was skeptical, but now I have a piece of mind that I can trust them.

You will NEVER hire anyone better than the Young Law Group!!

I cannot say enough great things about The Young Law Group. They took a very stressful and emotional time for me and my family and turned it into a calm and comforting experience. Not only did they take care of every detail through the whole process but kept me informed every step of the way. Their... constant honesty, empathy and compassion for our situation, even from the first meeting made us feel that we were in the hands of a very knowledgable and experienced law firm. Justine and Matthew were phenomenal people and always treated us with respect and kindness. They went out of their way to see that every detail was taking care of in a timely matter and were always available to answer my questions or just listen to me and my concerns. There are no words to thank them enough for all of their hard work and what they accomplished for me and my family. It would be without ANY hesitation that I would recommend them to anyone I know!!
