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

My uncle Tito referred us to Marissa Pitts at OakTree law after his Modification got approved within 30 days. We decided to try out OakTree Law after trying to Modify our loan for a year with Bank of America which kept denying us. I made my appointment with Marissa Pitts. She was very professional and detailed in explaining us the whole process. We just got our Modification approved a couple of days ago and she saved us $600.00 on our monthly payment and also explained to us she was going to put us through a program for interest forgiveness or principal reduction which would bring our mortgage payment even lower. We are very happy and will refer her to everyone that we know that needs help with the Modification. I want to thank Marissa and Jennifer and the whole team at OakTree Law for caring.

“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.”
***PLEASE READ THIS*** 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.

“These guys go above and beyond. They work hard for you.”
I was extremely hesitant to go through with a modification or even attempt the process. I was leery of the process and unsure from all the horror stories I've heard. Marissa from OakTree Law was a blessing. She walked me through the whole process. Everything she told me to do, I did. Everything she said she would handle, was handled. I had questions for their attorney... she was available anytime I needed to talk to her. Ed was also available whenever I had questions in the final stages with the modification offers from the lenders. These guys go above and beyond. They work hard for you. I know I did not only one mod but two. I was able to modify a jumbo loan on my primary residence and also on an income property I own. These people really stuck to their word. I cannot recommend them enough. I was in good hands. Thanks OakTree Law!!!! Your help Is truly appreciated.

I can't believe what happened to me today! I feel like I have won the lottery, actually I have. I won the mortgage lottery and I owe it all to "OakTree Law". I have been working on a mortgage modification for my home since 2007. I have spoken to every company out there and have paid several companies to modify my loan and have had absolutely no results until now. And what great results I have received from OakTree Law and their staff. My story started in January 2007 and was told by a firm "don't worry you will get your modification done in no time and will save a fortune". By July I found out on my own that my house was going to foreclose in 2 days and I needed $27,000.00 in order to save it. Fortunately, I was able to scramble and get the money together from family and friends and was able to save the house. I cried all night and prayed all night that I could get all the money together and be able to drive it to San Diego by 4 pm and save the house. I did not know how I would tell my children that we lost out home. I thought I would be the biggest failure as a parent if this would happen. Mu original loan was for about $618,000.00n with a $5000.00 payment at n7.3% interest. My new payment went up to n$7,500.00 with the same interest rate to pay back the monies I was behind. I could only make this payment for a few months and I continued to struggle. I then sought out other loan modification companies and they took my money and always came back with the same answer....:Your loan is held by a group of investors and they do not want to modify your loan". In the fall of 2011n I heard an accountant advertise his firm and said that he had all the key people from various lending institutions working for him and he had a 95% success rate. So I called him up, made an appointment and he told me I was a lost cause. Mind you this whole time I was always just 1 payment away from foreclosure. Then it happened, my loan was sold to OCWEN and because I was behind in my payments close to $100,000.00 they told me I was only able to make a payment if I paid the past due in full. It was all or nothing! I then started to panic. I couldn't come up with that kind of money in this kind of an economy. That's when I remembered I had met Rex from OakTree Law and I called him. I went to him on December 27, 2011 and was practically in tears and begged him to help me. Rex was so kind and told me what had to be done, we did everything in one meeting and he made no promises. He just told me OakTree Law would do their best and I should relax, pray and do what was expected of me in order to have success with the modification. Rex made me feel better and fave me hope. He worked with me in every way. My with late fees and interest is now at $698,000.00 at 7.3% and today has been reduced $300,000.00 and is at 2% interest. This means $300,000.00 of my principle just went away. Hard to believe, this is money I no longer owe. My payment was almost $5000.00 and now is $1587.00. This is crazy! When OakTree Law told me this I said please verify this, I can't believe this. They called me back and said this is correct! This is why if you need your loan modified and have tried everything you really haven't........ because you have not tried OakTree Law. This took 4 months and now I can sleep at night knowing my children will be able to grow up in the house they know as their home. THANKS "OAKTREE LAW"! You have changed my life!
