Law Office of Brett Margolin P.C. TOOK MY MONEY AND RAN HAUPPAUGE, New York

I was contacted by this company through the internet on 4-23-09 when my house was in foreclosure by a guy named Ben Scheck. I was told that they could stop it for $2,000.00 and get me a loan modification. I sent them what I thought was a retainer fee, and all of my info as well as my wifes. Many e-mails with someone named Lori M Heim a paralegal with this firm asking for yet more info 6 months into this matter. I had got a call from her in september and at which time she said that I should contact the mortgage company myself because they was not responding to her and that I should try for a modification through them, and see if they respond to me ~ which they did. The last contact that I had with this person was an email on 10-5-09 asking for yet more info ~ They had everything I had. Then the contact stopped ~ I called the number that I had and left many of messages with no response, and no reponse to the many e-mails that I had sent. Me and my wife felt like fools to have gave away our money as well as all of our personal information, and didnt know what to do other that not say anything to anyone else about it, and pray nothing else bad becomes of it. We were turned down for a loan modification through 2 different mortgage companys because the original one sold the note to BOA and they kept giving us the run around, and wanted all of the back payments up to date before they would even talk to us and the only reason we stopped making the payments is because we were told by the paralegal not to send any more payments until we were approved for a loan modification. In may of 2012 we just walked away from our house because of the stress it was causing to myself as well as my family. This law firm did nothing for us and took our money and ran so use your judgement before you hand over your money to anyone ~ You can go through your own mortgage company for a loan modification and it wont cost you a dime and you will probably get the same results.
