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.

So happy with the service! I did not want to go here but my boyfriend talked me into it. My mortgage was reduced $500. I no longer have to rent a room out to pay my ever rising mortgage payment. Rex and Jennifer were great. Especially Jennifer who kept in constant contact to make sure things went smooth. Best investment you can make to keep your home.

I had heard loan mods are hard to accomplish but with OakTree I had great success. No problems with hard to fill out forms or language that takes an enterperter to understand. OakTree walk with me from beginning to end. Any questions I had were simply explained and every phone call was answered by a live person on he other end. I hate " leave a message and we will get back to you" and it never happened with OakTree. My bank seemed to drag there feet at a loan modification and it was OakTree that remained patient and persistent. They continued to call the bank on a daily bases and were relentless until my modification was complete. The bank had turned my case over to at least three different employees and each had to start the review from the beginning to find out where the process was. OakTree stayed on top of them and where I would have given up, they pushed forward and finalized the modification. I truly believe I could not have achieved a loan modification on my own and needed them in order to get it done. I sound like a commercial but in fact, I found them from a friends recommendation and have no ties with their company. Simply stated I could not be happier. They saved me from losing my house in a bad economy and I owe them this review out of respect for what they do.

OakTree Law firm has helped me and my family not only save our home but thru Rex's professional knowledge of up to date opportunity's and laws pertaining to truth in mortgage and lending, we were able to have $188,000 forgiven from our principal, a bad arm loan changed to a 2.0% 30 year fixed rate........to my amazement once OakTree Law had all the paperwork asked of me, it took only 30 days to get my new modification.Ii was directed to follow up weekly and they took the time to explain that beyond the law, the loan servicing company handling my case were people with a job to do, and having a open line of communication with them weekly helped me and them, to get to a end result that we will forever be grateful to OakTree Law for. The right guidance and paper presentation it took to not only save our home but made it possible for us to regain a marketable home ....I will absolutely recommend OakTree Law to family & friends............thanks again OakTree!!

“She gathered more information and did more for me during my FREE initial visit than my entire 3 years with another attorney. It took Julie 4 days to file the appeal and get my case back in order.”

I have never given a review before but I am compelled to do so. My family had enjoyed a stable living and income until my husband began to have serious unexplained medical issues. He was not able to contribute financially and with only my income for my family, bills began to add up quick. After exhausting our savings, my daughters college fund and selling what assets we could, we had no choice but to file for bankruptcy protection to save our home. We decided as a family that we would walk away from the home that we loved because there was no other recourse. Days later we were notified by my husbands Dr. that he was diagnosed with MS. Devastated, I can only describe our situation as dire. I heard an ad on KFI about OakTree Law. The radio announcer sounded sincere about their reputation and after a day or so I called. I was EXTREMELY hesitant to talk to another lawyer but the minute I spoke to Julie Villalobos it was apparent that she cared......yes, cared! She gathered more information and did more for me during my FREE initial visit than my entire 3 years with another attorney. It took Julie 4 days to file the appeal and get my case back in order. We continued filing motions for an additional year so that I could juggle my finances and send my daughter to college. Just last month I made my last bankruptcy payment and my case is closed! Julie and her team not only helped and did their job, they put a personal touch on the case by giving it their full attention and keeping me updated through email, phone calls, emails and texting. Julie is tenacious. I can't believe the difference in services. I have now begun the Loan Modification process with Marissa Pitts at Oaktree. Things are flying by and we should be filing next week. I know better days are on the horizon and can only say that the radio ad set my family on a new course......THANK YOU OAK TREE LAW.

Excellent service! Called into OakTree Law and had a meeting with Mark Hoffman within 24hrs. With all the bad information coming from the banks it was extremely reassuring to speak with someone who has a thorough knowledge of my position and get a professional outline of what my rights and options were.
