matthew mullhofer vicimized many consumers and mistreated innocent clients in orange county california. I just want to warn anyone thinking about hiring matt mullhofer. the office is just a scam. Once they get you in the door and get you to sign papers, they will never do anything about your case or even remember who you are or act friendly towards you every again.
My wife and I brought in a Real Estate home mortgage to get my payment reduced and I was told to come back with all my loan papers for Matt Mullhofer real estate law expert to review. His secretary made copies and we assumed Mullhofer would be looking at them, but as we found out he never really bothered to even open our file. I know that because some papers were missing like the loan agreement and title to our house. I told the assistant that I would fax those pages over but in the mean time mullhofer told us he would contact the lender but really never did.
After going to depos, hearings etc. I found out all letters to protect our assets were never filed and our court case on our house was dismissed due to lack of attorney communication of any sort. Matt Mullhofer did not even file the court papers on the right forms. the only thing he got done right was to get his money up front which i found out is against california law. Attorney and real estate companies cannot get fees in advance for loan modifications which is exactly what mullhofer did.
Now my wife and i are out $ 2750.00 in addition to all the time and hassle dealing with a one hour meeting where attorney mullhofer did not really say a word - just agree and make us think we would win our case with our lender. We just wanted to be treated with respect and have our case heard or at least try to contact our lender and save our home from foreclosure. Now we have lost all our assets including our home.
Instead, Mr Mullhofer violated state law, took our money and has not returned a single time my messages i left at his office with his secretary. Now that we want our deposit back and he is either not in, in a meeting, or not available. I would just recomend that you hire a different attorney. Please warn anyone who you know may be thinking about hiring this dishonest and untrustworthy lawyer.
