Click to report rating    9/7/16   5     5     5     5     5   We were in a huge pickle & as a last resort, we decided to give Joel & his team, Thomas, Ryan & Adam a shot. We had twice been offered Loan Mods by Countrywide/BofA & then had the offers rescinded for no good reason. Joel tenaciously dogged the banks & we were granted a modification we now are paying on. Not one 30 day late since we started the Modification. We had tens of thousands of dollars written off & more to interest free from our loan agreement due to threatened lawsuit that Joel & company filed on our behalf. We could not be happier with the job done by this good man. At the time to pay the final installment per our contract with Joel ($1300), we were struggling along & fell behind with Joel & nearly did so with our loan. I called & spoke with Joel to explain our position financially & he asked me how our finances were. He said to "not worry about paying him back, pay the bank first." Bad lawyers do not offer this kindness & generosity. We are 3 - $50 payments away from payoff RID: 174001

I definetely would not recommend this law offices. After receiving your $3000 you don't hear from them any longer. RID: 98383

 4/10/12   1     1     1     1     1   I went to the Law Office of Joel Feinstein (and his cover company Smart Way One) to attempt to negotiate a loan modification starting in 2010. He and his staff outlined a process to collect information and work with the banks to make the house affordable. They get you through the first few steps quickly to collect as much money as they can get from you so it seems to go great through service level 2. When it actually came to getting the loan modification, Joel and his staff did not appear to be interested in even negotiating with the bank. He came to the conclusion after about a week that the bank was not going to modify the loan with any reasonable terms. So now the problem: When you hire a law firm to fight for you, one would expect them to do just that. Joel Feinstein instead just gave up on the work (but of course his office aggressively attempted to collect the remaining balance from me). I would not recommend Joel F and suggest you work directly with the banks if you can. RID: 67552
