Heard about OakTree Law on KFI and e-mailed them. Rex called me back and although they could not help because of my loan type, he was very candid and professional. I will probably use one of their other services in the future.

Normally I do not give endorsements or recommend suppliers no matter how well they may have performed. However in this situation I decided to make an exception because it could help others realize the wonderful results we have achieved and possibly eliminate or reduce the tremendous stress associated with working with mortgage company's and lenders.
I can't tell you how OakTree Law took such a stressful and complicated situation from my family when I was at a dead end with Chase Bank, on getting a modification, which my wife, and I fought for over a period of 18 months with customer service, and this one, and that one, talking and no one caring, we were ready to just give it up.
Then the faithful day, most would say fateful but faith is more to the point, that you entered our lives. From day one you put us at ease and immediately we felt as if our lives were headed back in a direction we knew and understood. Your knowledge of the system, especially Chase Bank, our lender, was critical. You explained the process, the cost, and what we could expect to happen. Surprisingly, it was exact and right on point.
The satisfaction and contentment with what OakTree helped us achieve has allowed us to move forward and back into our lives. Sounds weird to say back into and yet move forward but it does state how a peaceful continence, a sense of presence in the now, allows us to have the capacity to see a very bright future. You, Marissa, are a very large, and important piece of why we are headed into a future that is as welcoming and exciting as it has become. Melissa and I are impressed with your business acumen and tenacity. We knew that was what was needed when dealing with the institutions you had the unenviable task of working with. Fortunately for us, you knew what you were going into and what was going to be needed. Bottom line for us is that without you our world, our future would be completely different than the one we now find ourselves in. Melissa, and I thank you from the depths of our soul and count ourselves fortunate to have discovered a person of your abilities.
Thank You, Marissa, and OakTree Law.

Everyone in the group was knowledgeable and helpful in saving my home. They know the correct formulas and are there to answer (and go along side you) your fears and questions. I had a predatory loan and when I fell behind on payments when the wife lost her job, OakTree advised me on the next steps. They got me a $150 K loan reduction and a loan mod with a very low interest rate. I am grateful for all their help.

Thanks OakTree Law for helping me stay in my home:
I find that it is not just neat, but absolutely great when you can get the help you need at a critical time.
My home was/is upside down, I was unable to pay the mortgage, and I needed help to stay in my home. How I got into this circumstance is not relevant, but I will tell you anyway.
I used to own five rental properties purchased with equity from my primary home, which is now under water. And then the bottom fell from real estate investments. Rental houses were now worth less and I couldn’t rent them for enough to cover costs, and so I began to lose money – first the rental properties, and then I was about to lose the home in which I have lived 23 years.
I had talked to friends and colleagues who had coordinated their own loan modification successfully, and yet I needed help right now to avoid foreclosure. I didn’t have time for trial and error…
OakTree Law gave me 60 minutes of free consulting during which I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I had talked to other companies that offered free consulting; they didn’t stand out as did OakTree Law.
Two weeks later I told Marissa I wanted to work with her, she told me what documentation to assemble, and we arranged our next meeting. I will tell you than I consider myself rather well organized, which made it quite easy to meet Marissa’s documentation requirements.
My second and last meeting with Marissa lasted 2 hours during which time I filled in forms, she assembled financial information before calling and establishing prerequisite arrangements with mortgage servicer, I crafted a hardship letter, and all the required documentation was faxed to mortgage servicer then and there.
Three weeks later I was informed by mortgage servicer I had been accepted for trial loan modification. I have since completed trial payments and loan mod is now permanent. My monthly mortgage is reduced from $2,540 to $1,325, a reduction of more than $1,200/month. Specifics of my loan modification include a 2% interest rate; maturity is extended to 40 years, and forbearance in the amount of $110,000.
Thank you, OakTree Law for your efficiency and your effectiveness. Thank you, Marissa for being so good at what you do. You knew what was needed, when it would be needed, you knew the ins and outs of the process and you went about it with a purposefulness I genuinely appreciate and admire. Marissa, you ROCK…
With much appreciation,
Herman Powells

“An honest law team with easy to understand instructions. I am so pleased with the advice and humility.”
I called OakTree Law with what I thought was a huge problem concerning a issue with a property that I needed to have power of attorney over. I was able to get the exact information over the phone for free. They did not try to swindle me out of money. He even advised me to try to complete the steps on my own before I paid any money to OakTree law. This was exactly what I was in need of. An honest law team with easy to understand instructions. I am so pleased with the advice and humility. Thank you so much.

Me and my wife received a email from Jennifer Leonard informing us that we are in the final stages of our modification to a permanent modification. Jennifer's expertise, professionalism and her hard work really paid off so now we are saving $600.00 a month.
We would like to thank you Jennifer and OakTree Law for making this a painless and stress free experience. We have and will continue to refer you and your company to all our friends and family that sure could use your help. It has really been a pleasure.
