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.

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,

If anyone is looking for a law firm to help them, Oaktree Law is who you will want to go to. I went to them with a sale date and the bank was telling me I had to pay them 55,000.00 dollars to save my home or do a chapter 13 bankruptcy. I sat down with OakTree law and not only were they able to prequalify me over the phone before I paid them but they also modified my loan and kept me from having to lose it. The modification I received from my bank was still too high and OakTree Law was able to re-qualify me for the government modification. My bank had denied me from that modification due to my arrearage being so high. If anyone is facing problems with their home I definitely recommend you give them a call. Thank you OakTree Law.

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.

How do I say thank you to such great people. My bank was treating me like a dog. I would send in all the documents they wanted again and again. When they finally came back with what they said was help, they lowered my payment 37 dollars, that’s right 37 dollars…I came to OakTree Law and with their guidance and help, I received a modification that lowered my payment by 824 dollars and brought it current. Thanks!

Thank You OakTree Law,
We thought we were at the end of our rope and these experts helped us get the modification we needed along with a very low interest rate on a 40 year jumbo loan.
We did not qualify for any help and had exhausted our options. Marissa was great!
Thanks again to OakTree Law!
