Stephen is the most compassionate and understanding attorney to work with. He handled my case quickly and with ease. I am a recent widow and was at a loss on how to proceed with selling my house. Stephen worked tirelessly and with great ease to help me manuever through a difficult time. Thank you Stephen and all of your staff!!

Approved Loan Modification !! I am very please with the legal services I received from VOKSHORI LAW GROUP on my mortgage modification. The first thing they did was encouraged me to go and do my homework on their background at Better Business Bureau and other rating sites like Yelp etc. I did and never found anything negative out there that I didn't like and now that I have worked with them I can understand why. These are the people you want on your side when you are in a bad situation and need an attorney. They didn't just tell me a bunch of crap like some of he others I called did. I had tried to do my loan modification twice myself and was turned down both times. I worked mostly with Nadia Sommereyns when I hired the Law Group and she was very professional, friendly, helpful and thorough. When Nadia first started working on my case she immediately put my mind at ease because I could tell she knew what she was doing when it comes to mortgage modifications. There is a lot of schemers out there doing modifications but these guys are not the ones they seem to thrive off of reputation and it speaks for itself. Bob, Sacramento, California

Vokshori Law Group was excellent to work with while we were in foreclosure. I contacted them by phone and they were polite and friendly and made me feel like there was hope! I worked closely with Nadia Sommereyns, a senior legal analyst and she was amazing! She helped me through each step of the process and kept in touch with me about everything that was communicated with my bank! The stress was off of my shoulders! They negotiated a modification with my bank and the new payment is reduced significantly and has allowed us to start getting back on our feet and re-establishing our credit! Nadia and the Vokshori Law Group are amazing, professional and kind and helped us through an extremely difficult time in our lives! I would recommend them to anyone in need of their expertise!!!

I contacted Volkshori Law on behalf of my wife and me, because our home was in foreclosure. The house was originally bought by her father, so he would be close to us in his retirement years. Then he decided not to live there, so we were asked to move there instead and make the mortgage payments this we did. My father-in-law initiated a quick claim deed with my wife’s name on it, so if anything happened to him we would have a home. But then after dealing with his health problems and me losing my job, we got behind on payments. Then her father passed away and we got into real trouble financially, and the house went into Foreclosure. That is when I contacted Volkshori Law. We were first contacted by Nadia Sommereyns, Sr. Legal Analyst, she communicated to use that we were in fact eligible for the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) setup by the U.S. Government to home owners in lowering their mortgage payments. She was very helpful and understanding. She walked us through what to expect and reassured use that everything would be ok, which really help relieve a lot of our stress and worries. We were to just leave it in her hands, she would contact the mortgage company and take care of everything and she did. One year later we received the new loan docs through our mortgage company, which was Wells Fargo, and if anyone has ever had to deal with Wells Fargo they know what a real pain they can be. The house is now ours with a monthly savings of approximately $400 dollars which includes an escrow account to pay for our property taxes and homeowners insurance. Volkshori Law has saved us from losing our house and home, so I highly recommend then if you are currently in foreclosure and need help.

I am a working mom with 2 young children. When I was desperate to survive, I became a victim of the mortgage scam ran by Liberty One Mortgage company in CA. Among all the law firms I contacted, this is the only one firm who didn't think their time is money. They responded my questions timely via phone calls and even spent time doing research and guiding me through and provided me with free sincere and helpful advise. It's true help, not sympathies (they even didn't know I am a single mom with financial difficulties. In fact from the beginning to the end, they even din't mention about money)

We are extremely thankful to the Vokshori Law group and their entire team. We had initiated the short sale process of our home when we contacted the firm. With their hard work and excellent follow up we finally obtained a permanent home modification. Nadia Sommereyns the senior legal analyst kept us informed every step of the way via phone calls and emails. Nadia was excellent and help us keep our sanity throughout the whole process. Thank you Vokshori Law Group!

I can not express enough how grateful I am to Nadia Sommereyns and the entire Vokshori Law Group for my loan modification. During this nerve wrecking process, Nadia was very patient and kept me calm. She always made herself available if and when I had any questions or concerns. Now that my loan has been modified, I can get back on track. Thank you so for such a wonderful experience. I will definitely refer my friends and family. Adriana M.
