Law Office Of Dennis Rasmussen

For the past four years we had actively worked with our mortgage company to no avail. After exhausting everything, our retirement, our savings and running up credit card debt we decided to contact Real Estate Law Center. I have to say, it was not easy and I was apprehensive as they weren’t local, you could stop by the office to ask questions or put a face to a name but in the end we had lost almost everything, except our house and decided to take a leap of faith. The team (Jonathan, Charlie and Estela) worked endlessly for us. They provided excellent customer service. Provided us with their legal expertise and were upfront with us, which at times was not what we wanted to hear. However, in the end they were very successful with our case. They were able to get the mortgage company to work with us in less than 3 months for something we had tried over and over for more than 4 years. If you feel you have some of the same issues, I highly recommend their services. While they can’t guarantee the outcome you want, they can provide you with the legal advice to help navigate a difficult situation. Thank you, Thank you Real Estate Law Center!!

I was behind in my mortgage payments and I was just extremely overwhelmed facing foreclosure, until I contacted RELC. I spoke with a lawyer about my USDA loan and he brought in a mortgage underwriting professional to go over it. She discovered unfair clauses that could possibly be considered predatory lending practice. They advised me to pursue individual litigation after discovering the possible loan fraud. I just got back from my last court date where they changed my interest rate and my principal balance! It's been a long 7 months, but I definitely think a retainer was worth the support, prep, and someone to lean on the entire process. In the end I saved money from the settlement. I HIGHLY recommend calling in and getting some help.

I am very displeased with Real Estate Law Center. I retained them back in November of 2015 to pursue my Lender in obtaining a Mortgage Modification. The Retainer fee was $4,000 dollars plus $495 maintenance charge each month to. I was persuaded and confident that RELC would be the right company to help. In the beginning things seemed to be going pretty well, keeping me informed thought their portal that updates you on the case. Information on the portal showed that they were trying to get a modification through the standard process. December 9th I sent the Service Packet filled out and was Introduces to the Attorney Mae Ednalga. May seemed to be accommodating and keeping me in the loop. However as of march 2016 I stopped seeing any type of Updates on the portal. In April I received a Pay or Quit Letter after RELC failed to bill me under new banking Card Information that I sent them to change. In June of 2016 I spoke with the Attorney may to pursue the next step because it was evident that the Lender was not going to modify the loan. I sent her all of the information that she needed in order to start drafting the complaint in June 22, 2016. Although it was taking an enormous amount of time for her to respond to my phone calls, and emails we corresponded back and forth throughout June & July, I still continued sending her Information that may have been of benefit to complete her draft. She had previously told me that it would take a week to complete the draft. From August to September I didn’t hear anything from the Attorney. I sent an email after email and leaving voice messages. Finally I started to call the company customer service, the owner for an entire week with no one getting back to me. From that point I had to send e-mails to everyone I could in the company. I called again on September 9th and finally got a customer service person. He told me he would have Mae Contact me as well as the owner. I was very upset that no one was communicating and that no one would even answer phones lines and return messages. I started to get the feeling that I was scammed. The customer Service person told me that Mae Ednaga was no longer with the company. I asked why no one informed me for a whole entire month and why I had to find out by calling. He had no answer. He told me case was being handled by a Lawyer named Aren. I tried to engage Aren and the Owner through e-mails and voice mails for a whole entire week. I tried calling the customer service to see if they could have the owner call me or speak to me to no avail. Finally after a week of emailing everyone at the company, I get an e-mail response from Lawyer Tala Rezai. She informs me that Aren has been assigned and will be in contact with me shortly. The same day I asked if she could represent me because it seemed that she was the only on that took the time to get back with me. However since she took over to represent and I sent her everything she needed to become familiar with the case, the communication has been very bad in responding to e-mails, Case filing status. RELC never filed my case. I was getting the same bad customer service and not being informed, updated, etc. Finally after exhausting all my time to try and get in touch with Tala, I decided to cancel utilizing RELC. Finally on Nov 2 Tala emails me only to ask are you still continuing with us. There was no attempt to apologize for not communicating with me and the delays. My last e-mail to her was on 11-2-16 asking how we can make filing a complaint happen. She did not respond, not r did any of the Intake managers, or Owner. I have sent numerous emails to the owner with no responses. To Date I have paid over 8,000 dollars and not even a complaint was filed. I feel that RELC has used stall tactics to ensure they receive the monthly $495 fees collected to maintain cases. I do not feel that they have done anything close to enough over the last year to justify paying the amount of money I have paid. I am very disappointed.

It took 3 1/2 years to get me a modification but it has finally came together over the last month. This was most likely the fault of the mortgage company rather than RELC. This company is not a sham. I've worked with sham modification companies in the past that were big on promises and delivered nothing to stop a foreclosure. RELC kept the pressure on the mortgage company to modify and finally after several years they made it happen. I recommend this company.

I believe the Law Center has had good intentions at trying to help the "low man" fight the giants of the housing market. So many folks were affected by the tricks those big banks presented, knowing full well we, as mere consumers, had little or no tools or weapons to fight back. It's more like an abuse of power. I am glad there are companies such as Real Estate Law Center that have stepped in to see what they can do and how they can help. The Law Center has kept me informed throughout the court process, thus far. However, my case is not yet over. I am truly hoping there is some compensation from my financial institution as they had wronged us, and taken our money. I believe the Law Center will do their best to bring justice.
