Complaint Review: Feldman Law Center - Mission Viejo California

It's funny how these people explore the law "after" they have been operating outside of it. When they discuss things like "managers" can manage a law office this is true, but they made this change recently from all the heat Greg Feldman has created. Believe what you want, but the truth has a way of floating to the top eventually. When the state bar and attoney general get done with these guys I guess we will know the truth then.

Friend, you use several different aliases to communicate something you believe is a rip off. We get it. The problem is when you use multiple aliases to get your point across, you look like someone who's hiding something. In such a case, the plumber comes off as more credible than you do. That is an undeniable truth. Ultimately, the success or failure of any firm like this is dependent on results. If the firm was successful in heading off someone's personal disiaster, then they're a pretty good firm. If they weren't that successful - then they stink. The quality of a firm cannot be based on the success or failure of any individual case. If they have been successful in getting loan modifications done for desperate people (count yourself in such a category), and there's nothing in any of my research to believe they haven't been successful at it, then continually complaining about what they did is worthless. It's like telling people your tax accountant stinks because you owe money to the IRS. One has little to do with the other. Once again - you do not have to be a practicing lawyer OR a member of the bar to manage a law firm; this is most obvious to anyone who knows anything about being in business within the state of California. All of the other complaints you make are pointless and irrelevant to the business of running a law firm specializing in loan modifications. Insofar as it relates to the complaints on KFI, they pretty much take money from anyone for advertising - especially if they're legit. More often than not - they are. Otherwise, the station would take action (as they have in the past) to stop receiving advertising money from businesses.

There are so many people disguted with Feldman Law Center it's absurd to read blogs about what great guys they are. I can tell just by the way it was written it's most likely Feldman himself. Keep in mind that some modifications are so simply based on the lender that ""Anyone" could modify the note. The sad fact is they chose to pay $3500 dollars or more to have Feldman handle it. Now, the hundreds that need "real" legal representation end up in a worse situation then they started in most cases. Ask Mr. Patel how they handle proplem cases "read his blog" this reflects the real truth of what's happening to people. When they complain Feldman just points to a few successful modifications, tells them "oh we are sorry you lost your home" or sends them subtle threats if they complain to the state bar or attorney general. Just use your gut feelings when dealing with companies like this, it's usually right. The attorney general is currently preparing to shut companies like this down, then we will see the real crooks exposed.

The problem with these sites is that you don't know who is trying to screw who. I had a great experience with Feldman Law Center and have referred a couple associates who got great mods and great service. When I asked about some of the negative stuff on some of these sights my guy at Feldman said that since they had helped to shut down some scam mod houses the negative stuff has been popping up. So it looks to me like the scam guys are trying to tar the legitimate guys using sites like this one.

We already gave you a list of questions to ask a loan modification company before you work with them. Here is a list of questions to ask a lawyer who wants to "help you out with your serious legal issues that only a licensed attorney can do. Many lawyers (including James M. Parsa of Parsa Law Group and Steven C. Feldman of Feldman Law Center) are forming loan modification companies to circumvent the California Foreclosure Consultant Act (CFCA) because the text of the CFCA states that law firms that practice real estate law in their ordinary course of business are exempt from the CFCA rules. However, there are no attorneys working there which is misrepresentation as we will discuss in a future post. Do not give out any information to anyone about you or your loan until you have confirmed the following information: 1. Are you the attorney that will be handling my case at the law firm of ____________? If no, ask to speak with the attorney that will be handling your case. If they say No one is available right now but why don't I just take down some preliminary information, respond, No, thank you. May I please leave a message for the attorney who will be handling my case? 2. If the answer to #1 above is yes (or when the attorney calls you back), ask these questions and collect this information: a. What is your full name? (Always ask them to spell it out for you and include middle names or middle initials.) b. What is your California State Bar number? Is it in an active status? c. Where did you graduate from law school? d. What year did you graduate from law school? (This won't be on the record, but it's good to have so you can call the law school and confirm it later.) e. What year were you admitted to practice law in the state of California? f. Do you have any public records of disciplinary or administrative actions? g. What is your experience in real estate law? If they say none, ask to speak to another attorney that has at least 5 years of experience. h. At what law firms did you gain this experience? (Ask for the name and telephone number of the firm(s) with whom they worked on real estate matters.) 3. Then say, Thank you, I will call you back after I have confirmed that all these facts are true. What is your direct dial telephone number? Then go to the State Bar of California at: http://www.calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_home.jsp and click on Attorney Search on the top of the right-hand column. Then click on Attorney / Member Search. 4. Type in the name of the attorney (don't type in the Bar No. even though you have it because the entire pretend law firm could be giving out the same Bar No.) All of the names matching your attorney's name will pop up. This is why (a) above is important as there may be multiple listings for the same name and you want to make sure you are pulling the correct record. 5. Click on the name of the attorney that matches the name you were given. Then, most of the information you previously gathered from the attorney will appear. Make sure the information is accurate and if it isn't, make a note of the discrepancies on the license after you have printed it out and ask the attorney about them when you call back. 6. Then call the firms that the attorney has worked for to gain the requisite knowledge to help you save your house and negotiate on your behalf with a lender. Ask to speak with the law firm administrator, office manager or human resource manager as they are the people that maintain this kind of information. Confirm that the attorney worked there and for how long and the firm's legal specialty. 7. If you want to be safe, you can call the law school and confirm that they graduated with a Juris Doctorate (JD) degree on the year you have written down. 8. If everything checks out, call the attorney back and make sure that he or she will be handling your case from start to finish and that you won't be put off on to a foreclosure consultant. If the facts don't check out, ask him or her about the discrepancies until you are satisfied with the answers. 9. Ask the attorney to describe the legal process of a loan modification and why it is necessary to use an attorney. (This will stump them but the good guys and gals will answer promptly and with good humor.) 10. Then insist on coming into the law firm, meeting the attorney and conducting your business in person from beginning to end. Email us with any questions you may have. You're going to have to be gutsy and persistent because most of these attorneys have very big egos and don't like to be questioned. They will try to derail you or avoid your questions. Print this off before you call so you have a checklist in front of you and won't get flustered. Stand firm and get the answers you need to feel confident that your foreclosure matter will be handled by a professional.
