This company charged $5, 000 with statements of assurance that they would be able to negotiate a loan modification with my lender. They also stated that an attorney was needed to negotiate with the bank because lenders were not negotiating with borrowers, and only attorneys could complete a deal and create a new contract with the lender. Mod By Lawyers never called me to give me updates. I always had to call and check on the status of my file. I was ALWAYS told that they were talking to the lender but my file had not been assigned to a negotiator for the lender. This same or similar conversation went on for more than eight months. I have since asked for a refund by phone, but received no return calls. I made an appointment to meet with a representing attorney BRIAN TIMOTHY STUART (California Bar #207118). At our meeting date, Atty. Stuart showed me verbage in the the contract that I signed with his company that basically said if I did not let them know in writing that I wanted to sever my relationship with them, I would not be entiltled to a refund. However, there is also verbage in the contract that states if they do not provide me with services stated in the contract, I would be entilted to a 50% refund. Atty. Stuart agreed to discuss the matter with the company's owner, Atty. MAJID SAFAIE, and get back to me after their conversation and decision. I have yet to hear from Atty. Stuart.

This company has failed to perform a home loan modification for me. They also refuse to give me a refund.

I hired this company to peform a home loan modification for me over 10 months ago. I paid them $7000. They said they would use their lawyers to "negotiate" a loan modification for me. They said I would be "jumping for joy" by the time they were done, which would be in about 3 months.
Boy was I swindled. It's been over 10 months and still no loan modification.
Turns out "Mod by Lawyers" has little to do with lawyers. After speaking with some of their agents they told me "we are to busy to use lawyers on every case". This has left me very confused since the reason I hired this company was to have a lawyer negotiate a loan modification for me. What they actualy do is used hired hands to collect your papers then they just push them off to the bank. Thats it. No lawyers, no negotiating involved.
I could've done that myself. And I actually have done that myself with better results.
Also their customer service is HORRIBLE. They rarely called to give me status. I had to call them to ask what was going on with my case. Most of the time it was difficult to find the person who was on my case and once found they would ask for documents that I had already submitted to them. When I asked why they were so difficult to work with, they said " we are just
to busy to keep track". Ironically, it has been easier to work with the bank directly than it has been working with "Mod By Lawyers".
Sincerely, this has been the worst rip-off in my life.
