Complaint Review: THE LAW OFFICES OF MICHAEL E. FLECK ATTORNEYS MICHAEL FRANK VOSHOLLER JUSTIN - WOODRIDGE Illinois

This is attorney Michael J. Fleck.  I practice in Huntley, Illinois and have some cross-over in the areas of practice of this other attorney.  I am not the same attorney.  I am not related to this attorney, and I have never been affiliated with this attorney.

I mention this because for the last 3 years, my office has received phone calls and complaints as if I were the attorney involved in the matter that they are complaining about.  The most recent call was today, June 1, 2012.

For any person who may come across this complaint (to which I have no comment whatsoever), I want it to be clear that Michael J. Fleck, the Law Office of Michael J. Fleck, P.C. and Fleck & Meyers, P.A., all out of Huntley, Illinois, is NOT the person others may be complaining of.  See the attached link:

I would appreciate anyone involved with this matter to let others know there is a difference.  Thank you.

To whom it may concern,

Me the author of this Complaint, Michael E. Fleck has personally called to me today to inform me, he will not pursue the collection of the remaining amount per the contract that I signed with his office. So with this said and agreed upon, I`m withdrawing on the complaint listed and let it be know to the public, that his office has worked with me and we have settled our differences....

Thank you...

Plainfield, Illinois 

We at the Law Offices of Michael E. Fleck would like to discuss all of the points that Matt has put forth. First, Matt says he had a no obligation consultation, from which he decided to hire our law firm to obtain a modification for him. He states that the up front fee was discussed, and that a success fee would be charged if he agreed to a loan modification. All of which is true. Matt claims it is 8 months later and the effort of our firm has fallen short. Yet he also states that he is in a trial loan modification right now, based on our efforts. Matt was in a trial modification after we worked on his file for 4 months. That was the time it took his lender to underwrite and approve his modification. Loan modifications require many hours between underwriting, faxing documents, and hours of time on hold with the under staffed lender loss mitigation departments. Matt hired this firm to obtain a loan modification for him, and thus far we have delivered a trial modification which, come August when the trial period ends, should become a full modification once approved by his lender. After the modification of the first loan, the lender has stated that they will be willing to work towards modifying the second mortgage. Matt states that this is a joke, or a scam of money from someone. Matt came to this firm to obtain a loan modification, and that is what has been delivered. The contract states that the $2000 is due upon loan modification approval. When Matt last spoke to a representative of the firm, he asked about voiding the contract. Basically, after we have completed our obligations and Matt received a modification through our efforts, and now he has decided we haven't put in enough effort and wants to cancel the contract so as not to pay the additional fee. This is the reason why he was contacted concerning the fee, because of his desire to void the contract. We still hope to represent Matt and finish the modification of his first mortgage and then proceed with obtaining a modification on his second mortgage as well. We have held true to our obligations under the contract as we have for many clients. Unfortunately, this client felt the need to make defamatory clients against our office in an effort to avoid paying his contracted fees.
