chrval21,

I started the process on 9/18 and have scheduled an appointment to speak with the attorney tomorrow, 10/23. Of course, much work has been going on behind the scenes and they have several clients. Also, It took me some time to get all of my documents together. Branden, from the law office, reviewed my documents and let me know what else was missing, which I sent.

Then it went to the audit department and they let me know they needed a few things which I sent. After a few weeks the audit was completed and they reviewed it with me. During the interim I have heard from Branden and the Griswold Office on many occasions and as Branden mentioned they had notified Countrywide shortly after the 18th of Sept. I also told Countrywide that I hired an attorney and they made a note in the file and I haven't heard from the since, whereas before they were calling me every other day.

I am quite sure you made an excellent decision considering how many people are out there trying to get a loan mod, without the benefit of a lawyer OR the LoanSafe website to guide them on their own. With J. Griswold, they know the routine, the know what to look for, they know whom to contact, and they know how to do the audits, etc. In other words, they've been around the block a few times, so to speak.

Speaking for myself, I can tell you unequivocally, that I am so glad I got a team of professionals to help me with this vitally important $320,000 issue. If this doesn't qualify for a time when an attorney is indicated for a civil matter, then I don't know when it would be. As I've said before, win, lose or draw I'm happy with my decision because I almost gave up when i tried it on my own and that would have been a sure loser. Now, at the very least, I know I've given it my best shot and I still have hope.

I know it's hard, but you made a good decision, let them do their work and see where you're at in 4 - 6 weeks. Hang in there and I wish you the very best of luck!!!
