I am from the Philippines and I was contacted by Mario Mapoy who guaranteed that he could help me with a loan modification. "To say that my experience with Mario Mapoy was less-than-satisfying would be a compliment, considering the level of disappointment and frustration I’ve felt in regards to his services. In my opinion, I think his business practices are illegal and his professionalism is non-existent, and he should be thrown in jail.
We were sent to an attorney Liz Koepke in Berkeley, CA. When we went to her office it was more of a ghetto of Oakland. We locked our car, but it would have been better to have taken a cab and kept it running so we could get out of the area safely. Liz Koepke took our money, bragged about her experience, and then afterword’s never returned calls, as we continued to try to contact her, she was either on a vacation or at yoga or visiting her Swami, when we asked for our money back, she said there was no more money and these things just take time. We knew when she could not remember our names or our scheduled appointments, that she wasn’t the brightest attorney at all. How she ever got her license I have no idea.
We would have been better served if we sent the lender a message in a bottle and threw it in the ocean. We are now in foreclosure and we are strapped for cash and cannot afford another attorney.
In the meantime we found that Mario Mapoy lives in a mansion in Blackhawk, and has basically been stealing money from his own people to support his lifestyle. This man has no shame and he is an embarrassment to both the Pilipino community and the church.
I’ve spoken to several homeowners in my community and at church all who have dealt with Mr. Mapoy and they seem to share the same negative sentiments. This man is a habitual liar and a thief and he has no morals.
