A Law Firm You Can Trust

My experience with the Young Law group was a pleasure. They are knowledgable , respectful, and sharp law firm. They are dependable, trustworthy, and go the distance in resolving any matter you present them with. I feel at ease with the Young Law Group on my side. I would strongly recommend their serv...ices to anyone seeking foreclosure and loan modification advice or representation. They are a A+ Law firm.

Foreclosure Defense / Loan Modification

First, we would love to thank Justin and the entire team at The Young Law Group for keeping us in our home. Our home was in foreclosure and we lived in constant fear of losing it. Never faced with anything of this nature before, it was a nerve wrecking time. Then a friend referred me to The Young Law... Group, within days our fears were replaced by hope. Having a team with extensive knowledge of the law on our side was very comforting; it gave us the strength we needed to make it through. Not only was the foreclosure dismissed, but in addition we were given a loan modification. The Young Law Group kept us in our home, and somehow managed to keep us in it for less. By the end of our process we received a principal reduction of $290,000, plus an interest rate reduction of over 2.25%. In addition to that our loan terms remained the same. We went from a $3,800 monthly payment down to $2,700 a month. There are no words I can use to truly convey my gratitude. All I know is if your situation feels hopeless go see Justin he will without a doubt help restore your peace of mind.

Foreclousre/Loan Modification

We tried to modify our mortgage for 2 frustrating years of trying to deal with the bank on our own. After going into foreclosure we contacted the Young Law Group. Matthew and Mr. Young, took the bull by the horns, stopped the foreclosure action in a day, dealt with the bank and lawyers and after a... year or so they got us a modification that was better than anything we could have hoped for or ever gotten without there help. We are now locked in at 2% for 5 years and our rate will max out at less than 4% for the remainder of the loan. We did not have to pay the bank any back payments so the cost of hiring a professional is inconsequential in the long run. If you have an ongoing problem and are getting the run around from your lender, contact the Young Law Group right away. It is a process that they know inside and out and they got the results that they told us they would. Although it is frustrating and does not happen overnight, be patient and let them work through the legal steps for you. The communication was excellent, the advice was sound and the results were literally life changing for us and our family. Do not take any chances by going with a low priced lawyer, go with the Young Law Group and you will get what you pay for and more. Very Happy! Sincerely Gary E.

Mortgage Fraud

I wanted to write this review to let Mr. Young and the Young Law Group know how thankful my family and I are of how they helped us in this difficult situation. Let me start by saying after almost a year of our mortgage company denying our personal attempts for a loan modification we started to get do...wn on our luck. In the middle of us trying to modify we were served with foreclosure papers. At this point we were about 15 months behind on our mortgage and worried we were going to lose our house. We were referred to Mr. Young and the Young Law Group by a colleague that had used him prior. After speaking with him and reviewing our situation they were able to respond to the bank in court. They succeeded in getting a restraining order on our foreclosure so the bank could not proceed with the action. After about seven months of going back and forth with the bank in court they were able to negotiate a modification. I am sure more work went into our case then my description, but those are the main points that stuck out in my head. Our family is grateful of Mr. Young's professionalism and effort to help us with our issue. Both you and your firm are truly a pleasure to work with. I applaud you once again and thank you from the bottom of my families heart.
