TESTIMONIALS:I hope that everyone reads my testimonial not to feel warm and fuzzy but because I have probably gone through what most of you have gone or are going through in regards to foreclosure and modifications and have experienced most if not all of the pitfalls and dangers that come with it. I asked for my full name and phone # to be posted but the law office said thank you but that wouldn't be necessary. That's how strongly I feel about Kucsan & McCrea and want the world to know that if their home is in jeopardy of being sold to call them. I am 100% confident that they are one of the good guys out there. I actually did a lot of research before choosing Kucsan & McCrea and it was their testimonial page on their website that helped me go with them. So here we go...I was originally tricked into getting into an Option ARM by a broker who told me that I would be able to pay off my 30yr loan in 15 years. I noticed after a few months that my balance was increasing instead of decreasing so I called my broker and he said it was "recasting" and that very soon I would see my balance decreasing dramatically. I had also purchased an investment property in Las Vegas where I put down 200k that I had received from my father from monies that I inherited and put that property in an Option ARM as well. Despite having to accept the fact that I was deceived by my mortgage broker, I accepted it for what it was and continued to make payments on both these properties until I was put in the position where I had to take care of my sick sister AND mother. Coupled with the economy falling apart my income suffered and I quickly found myself unable to keep up with the payments. I heard about loan modifications and so I tried to do it on my own on my rental property. After getting the run round for months by the lender I was one day informed by the lender that my property had been sold. It was devastating. The 200k that I put down on that property was now gone. I knew I needed help and I needed it fast. There was no way I was going to lose my home especially with me in charge of taking care of family members who were sick and unable to take care of themselves. As stated earlier I did a lot of research online and was referred by a friend to Kucsan & McCrea checked out their website and all other watchdog websites and decided to go with them. I am so glad that I did. Long story short, they got me in a step mod starting at 3.5% where it capped at 6.5% for the life of the loan with a principle reduction of over $80,000. I am writing this long testimonial because I know that a lot of people are suffering out there and are scared. I know because I was one of them. I know the anguish of having that pain in your chest everyday because you don't know if your home is going to be sold. I know that fearful feeling of not knowing who to choose to help you save your home because of all the stories you hear about people getting scammed. I want everyone to read this and know that I am a real person and that I went through of all of those emotions and that I can say with 100% confidence that Kucsan & McCrea unequivocally saved my home. -Judith H from Duarte, CA
I am in shock. I am stunned...pleasantly stunned. I want to thank Kucsan & McCrea from the bottom of my heart. You guys saved my house in the nick of time. If I didn't get some help, there is no doubt that I wouldn't be able to keep my home much longer being that my payment was scheduled to go up from $2567 to over $3500 in November [2009]! I can't believe that you guys lowered my payment to $1900 fixed for 5yrs at 2%. Thanks again, I shall recommend Kucsan & McCrea to anyone I come across who needs help with their mortgage. -Sheila S from Castro Valley, CA
My wife lost her job and because of this I had to take care of the majority of the bills which included the mortgage. Obviously with a substantial part of our income lost, my wife and I knew we were going to need help. We did our research on loan modifications and checked out the Law Office of Kucsan & McCrea, checking their better business bureau rating and records, their attorney's records with the California bar, basic online searches on their office and after all of that we felt comfortable with choosing them to handle our loan mod. We are very glad that we did. Kucsan & McCrea got us out of our toxic Option ARM loan and got us into a 3.5% fixed rate for 5 years. -Gilbert V from Simi Valley, CA
We are so happy with what Kucsan & McCrea got us. I worked in the real estate industry and when that fell apart our family income suffered tremendously. We became more than a year behind in our mortgage. Kucsan & McCrea got us a 30 yr fixed at 4.75% which substantially lowered our payment from our 8.75% interest rate, brought us current, and we didn't even have to come in with a lump sum amount. We did have a 3 month trial period but after that it was fixed. -Teresa G from Shasta Lake, CA
I am very happy with the offer that Kucsan & McCrea got me. I am retired and on a fixed income and became late when my rate adjusted. Kucsan & McCrea brought my loan current and got me out of foreclosure and got me into a lowered fixed payment for the life of the loan that is now principle and interest instead of interest only. I can now relax knowing what my payment is going to be for the remainder of the loan. -Dennis R from Marina, CA
I am so very happy and grateful with all that Kucsan & McCrea did for me in getting me a great modification especially for their staff. They were my guardian angels. I am soon to retire and relied on a family member's monthly contribution to help me with my bills. When that stopped because of the economy I had the fearful proposition of being on the street. I prayed and prayed for help and Kucsan & McCrea were the answer to my prayers. They saved my house and got me into a 1% fixed for 5 years where it then turns into a 30 yr fixed at 5.5%. I can now breathe easy knowing what my payments will be and more importantly know that it will be a payment that I can afford. -Fannilea S from Los Angeles, CA
Kucsan & McCrea gave me excellent customer service and got me a fixed 4.25% fixed for 5 years. If it wasn't for Kucsan & McCrea I don't know what I would have done. -Rosie R from Gilroy, CA
I am writing this letter to express how thankful I was when I got the consultation and retained the Law Firm of Kucsan & McCrea, a very knowledgeable, aggressive and by far one of the best in getting loans modified. The terms of my Modification are unbelievable and are beyond expectations: Old Loan: Amount of $675,000.00 with adjustable, adjusting to 8%, and payments of $4048.35/mo. New modified loan: 2% for 24 months, then 4% for the next 24 months and then 6% for the remaining life of the loan. I am so relieved and happy, as my current payments have been reduced by $1843.35 per month. I can now breathe easy and start enjoying my life and family once again. I can recommend this law firm to all of my friends and family for their excellent service and I'm giving them a grade of five stars and more. -Josephine K from North Hollywood, CA.
Always up front and worked quickly. I was ready to lose my house and Kucsan & McCrea got me an affordable payment. I went from 9.2% to 5.94%. I couldn't believe how much money they saved me. -Keith M from Lathrop, CA
I want to tell everyone about Kucsan & McCrea. They exceeded my expectations on my offer and how quickly they got it done. I was going back and forth with BofA for months and Kucsan and McCrea got me a fixed offer at 2%. I would have been thrilled at 4%. I am a police officer and know there are a lot of fraudulent companies out there; that is why I want everyone to know this law office is the real deal. -James P from Avondale, AZ
My wife and I have been in our home for 4 years. Both of us were in the financial industry when the world came crashing around us. Both of our companies shut down and left us without work. After spending months trying to find work we finally found a permanent solution to a big problem which was our home. I tried to do this thing they called a loan modification myself, and got denied. After spending 3 months of trying it my own and alone getting frustrated and angry, I knew I had to try a different approach. The lender was totally inept in offering me anything or for that matter even picking up the phone. I was at my wits end. I then decided to hire Kucsan and McCrea to help me. After two months we got the word from the lender that they are accepting our deal. We went from 6.4% 10 yr Interest-only paying $7500.00 a month to a new modified loan. Our modification was completed December 22nd 2008, and they provided us a 3% new payment of $3700.00 for two years paying full principal and interest (I'm actually paying my house down), then it goes to 4% payment of $4028.93 for the next two years, the 4th year it goes to 5% payment of $4648.38 on a 40 year fixed rate for the remaining term of my loan saving me $91,200.00 the first two years, $83,305.58 the next two years, then saving me $1,231,964.64 for the remaining term of my loan not counting the finance charges as well! Needless to say we are ecstatic. We can't thank the team at Kucsan and McCrea enough. Kucsan and McCrea Law Firm saved my home and financial health that was imposing a huge strain on our life and marriage. So I would fully and absolutely recommend Kucsan and McCrea Law Firm. -Dave P from Huntington Beach, CA
I had my interest rate jump to 10% and was sure that I was going to lose my house. Kucsan & McCrea got my interest rate down to 4% fixed for 5 years. I am so thankful that I was put in touch with them, they saved my house. -Joyce H from Los Angeles, CA
I trust Kucsan & McCrea 100%. I am going to tell everyone about them. They did exactly what they said they were going to try to do. They lowered my payment almost $2000 a month and always kept me informed and updated. -Victoria B from Santa Ana, CA
For 8 years we dedicated our home to fostering children. We have had approximately 38 children pass through our home and become a part of our lives. With the financial responsibility of raising these children we found ourselves having to refinance our home in order to buy vehicles and pay the day to day debts that we all face. The worst decision we made was to refinance with an adjustable rate and within 2 years we found ourselves with an extremely high mortgage payment and interest rate. The economic recession did not help. I was laid off 3 times in the same 2 year period that our adjustable rate increased, and we fell behind on our mortgage payments. My wife and I were horrified at the possibility of losing our home and the ministry that we had with these needy children. I was familiar with the loan modification programs but they were either too costly or too overwhelming to quickly process the paperwork. I tried 5 separate loan modification programs over a one-year period before coming in contact with Kucsan and McCrea. This was a blessing from the Lord. Our Lender had already sent out a representative to take pictures of our home before putting our home on a short sell list. I spoke with Kucsan and McCrea and to our surprise they contacted our Lender and within 3 weeks they had worked out a loan modification program that fit our budget. Now we have the security that we can continue the ministry that we have committed our lives to with all of the children that will be entrusted to us. -Stew and Phyllis from Orange County, CA
I am so happy with the offer that Kucsan & McCrea got me. I am self employed and my business has slowed down dramatically because of our economy. To add to that my interest rate jumped which made my payment impossible to make. I quickly found myself 3 months behind and fast approaching foreclosure. Kucsan & McCrea not only saved my home from foreclosure they also got me a fantastic interest rate of 2.125% fixed for 5 years. They not only saved my house they also saved me more than $1700.00 a month! -Wendy E from Chandler, AZ
Kucsan & McCrea exceeded all my expectations. I am more than happy with what they got me. -C. H. from San Diego, CA
I give Kucsan & McCrea a 5 star recommendation. Their staff was great and they got me a fantastic deal. I would tell everyone about them. -Josephine K from Los Angeles, CA
In 2005 my wife and I purchased a house as an investment property to have as a rental. We made two big mistakes with this house. We bought at the top of the housing bubble and we allowed ourselves to be talked into an adjustable rate mortgage with the provision of low minimum payments. What was not made clear at the time was that this was a negative amortization loan. So we soon realized that we had a loan that was monthly increasing in principle as the value of the house was decreasing. For 2 years we have tried unsuccessfully to refinance into a fixed rate mortgage so that we would have a controlled interest rate and be able to make progress in decreasing our indebtedness. Our mortgage company was not cooperative or interested in working with us. We also tried unsuccessfully to get refinancing with several other mortgage companies. We hired Kucsan and McCrea to help us with a loan modification. We found them very helpful. They patiently explained our options and how they would work with our mortgage company. Our lender proved much more cooperative and willing to negotiate a loan modification when approached with a legal process by an attorney. We found Kucsan and McCrea to be very professional and appreciate how they were able to negotiate a loan modification that gives us a 5-year reprieve with a very low fixed interest rate. This will make it possible for us to manage the mortgage without increasing the principle. We would not have been able to get this loan modification without the professional help from Kucsan & McCrea Law Firm Kucsan & McCrea Law Firm provided legal services to us in a professional and timely manner. We feel confident in recommending them to others that might need legal help, and we would not hesitate to contact you in the future for other legal services that we might need. -Thomas L from Lodi, CA
I wanted to start by saying Thank You for the wonderful job you did on the Sanchez File. I am the Property/Financial Manager for Mr. Sanchez, and he trusts me to handle his matters for him. In today's economic times it is nice to know that there are people out there that you can trust to do the job they claim they can do. We feel you went above and beyond in helping us to secure a modification on the loan and the time and effort that you put in to assure that it was done properly. It was nice being able to deal direct with a professional that will go that extra mile by responding immediately to our needs and our questions. Your prompt responses and follow through are greatly appreciated. We were delighted with the terms of the modification of the loan and can now rest easier knowing that a tremendous weight has been lifted off our shoulders. I would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends that are also in need of relief. The Old Loan was: 7% payment of $6700.00 a month on an adjustable mortgage. He was late on his payments going on 8 months. The loan amount was $738,750.00. The New Loan after modification: 2% for 24 months, 4% for next 24 months and then 6% fixed for the remaining life of the loan. Also they waived $35,688.00 that he was late back into the loan and brought him current with the lender and on credit. Thank you again.....You are life savers. -Candace J from Santa Barbara, CA
Brian Kucsan went far beyond any reasonable limits in working for me. I am recommending him to anyone I know who needs help in modifying their mortgage. His work exceeds the highest recommendation A-plus plus; 5 Stars. -Wendy J from Sacramento, CA
I am a teacher and due to pay cuts I was no longer able to make my payment on the adjustable loan that I didn't really understand what it was when I got into it. Needles to say my payment went up and I found myself depleting all my savings to stay current and when that was gone, I knew that I needed help desperately. Kucsan & McCrea got me into a much lower fixed payment, and I did NOT have to pay anything to bring myself current. I simply got a new lower payment and just like that became current again enabling me to get my finances back in order. -Patti H from Herford, AZ
I am so glad that we went with Kucsan & McCrea. I was so over working with my lender to try and get my modification done. They just kept giving me the run around and when they did finally give me an offer it was only fixed for 1 year and dropped my interest by 1%. Who were they kidding? That wasn't going to help me. I was convinced my lender did not care about me or my family or was even trying to help us. Kucsan & McCrea got me a much lower interest rate and it was fixed for the life of the loan!! Not only that, they kept me updated and were professional through the entire process. I referred my neighbor to them who is in foreclosure and will keep referring anyone I know that needs help with their mortgage." -Kelly A from Temecula, CA
Kucsan & McCrea were so very helpful from start to finish. Doing a loan modification was something that we never thought we would have to do. We are both retired and on a fixed income so when our rate and payment jumped up we had no idea what to do. Everyone at Kucsan & McCrea was so helpful. They answered all our questions throughout the entire process. Even after we received our modification they still took the time to walk us through the loan docs to make sure we understood everything. We cannot say enough good things about Kucsan & McCrea. -Glen & Mary T from Watsonville, CA
Thank you Kucsan & McCrea Law Firm. Approximately 6 months prior to my mortgage adjustment, with no possibility of a refinance, I contacted my mortgage company in an attempt to discuss our options. I was told to re-contact closer to the adjustment date. As the months progressed, my phone calls increased and I was repeatedly told that since my payments are current there was nothing that could be done. Because I was not delinquent, the mortgage company had no intentions of helping. I then contacted Kucsan and McCrea in an effort to help. They worked diligently over the next couple of months to finally reach an agreement with my mortgage company. At time of completion, the mortgage adjustment did not happen and in addition, my payments were dropped by approximately $1200.00 per month. Due to the efforts of Kucsan & McCrea Law Firm no payments were missed and my credit saved. -Scott H from Murrieta, CA
Kucsan & McCrea were quick and professional with getting my loan modification done. I tried to do it on my own and after months of frustration my lender came back with an offer of 8%. Not only did Kucsan & McCrea get my modification done in under 2 months, they also reduced my principle by almost 200,000, and got me an interested rate of 4% fixed for the life of the loan. -Matt C from Riverside, CA
We cannot say enough good things about Kucsan & McCrea. My father was put in an adjustable loan a few years ago and did not know what to do. He was going to lose his house. I can honestly say that Kucsan & McCrea saved my father's home. He was at 9.5%, and they got him in a 30-yr fixed at 4.875%. -Joy A from Hayward, CA
My husband and I had to file bankruptcy because he lost his job due to a back surgery that put him out of work for more than 6 months. We became more than 11 months behind in our mortgage, and the lender was ready to take our home. Kucsan & McCrea got our home out of BK, removed over $80,000 in late fees and unpaid mortgage payments AND got us an additional principle reduction of $163,000. Our new payment dropped more than $1500 a month. -Debra B from Panorama City, CA
I am so happy with what Kucsan & McCrea got me. I am now in a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan that I can afford. I never have to refinance again. -Michael P from Richmond, CA
I am so happy with what Kucsan & McCrea got us. We were so frustrated with dealing with Countrywide and then B of A was just as unhelpful. Kucsan & McCrea got us a 5 yr fixed at 3.5% and saved us over $800 a month. That comes to $48,000.00 in savings over the next 5 years. -Russell R from Pinole, CA
Kucsan & McCrea saved my house, it's that simple. I am so very happy that I went with them. I got put into a Negative Amortization Loan and did not know what it was until I noticed my balance was going up monthly. I was so scared when my property went into foreclosure because I had no idea how the entire process worked. Kucsan & McCrea not only walked me through the process and helped me relax with all the phone calls and letters from the lender, but they also got me into a fixed payment that saved me over $1500 a month. -Patricia T from Cambell, CA
We were so skeptical about loan modifications. So many of our friends and families signed up with other companies, paid them thousands of dollars, and then were never able to get a call returned. We were so happy with the level communication we received with Kucsan & McCrea. The offer they got us was far better than we could have imagined. We owed our lenders thousands of dollars in missed payments and were expecting a big down payment for them to even consider modifying our loan. Not only did Kucsan & McCrea get us into a modification that required no down payment they modified both our First and Second mortgages lowering our total monthly payment by around $1200, which included principle and interest. We are so happy to be out of our negative loan and are now paying down our principle instead of adding to it. -Enriqueta from Riverside, CA
Kucsan & McCrea cut my monthly payment in half. I receive permanent disability so you can't imagine how much this helps me out. I am so happy. -Sonia J from Phoenix, AZ
I am so very happy with what Kucsan & McCrea did for me. I want to tell everyone about them. I want everyone to know my full name and I'd put my phone number on their site if they'd let me so that anyone considering to go with Kucsan & McCrea could call me so that I could tell them that if they don't go with them for their loan modification needs they'd be a fool. I am a veteran on a fixed VA budget and Kucsan & McCrea got me into a fixed payment that enables me to be able to live comfortably again. They literally cut my payment in half! I don't know what more I could have asked for. I am so glad my mortgage nightmare is over. -David G from Forrest Ranch, CA
I am absolutely thrilled with what Kucsan & McCrea got me. I had a sale date of my home set, and Kucsan & McCrea not only got it removed, but they also lowered my monthly payment by almost half. -Luciana C from Sherman Oaks, CA
I tried for months to get a modification on my own with my lender and got nowhere. Kucsan & McCrea to me are miracle workers. They got me a great offer of 3% where I am now paying down my principle as opposed to adding to it. I was absolutely stoked when the docs arrived on my front door on my birthday of all days. It was the best birthday gift I have ever received! -Tracie N from Windsor, CA
I had been trying for about 3 months to get a loan modification on my own and was getting nowhere. I had explained my hardship in detail to my lender and that my husband was ill and I had to take off time to care for him so my income had declined but it didn't seem to matter, my lender wasn't helping. Unfortunately to my sadness, my husband passed away on May 19. I didn't know what to do, and I had not only lost my husband but also lost his social security income as well. I contacted Kucsan & McCrea Law offices, and they got my payment reduced by half in 3 short weeks. I am so truly grateful for their services. They have helped me be able to get through this entire ordeal easier since I won't have the financial strain anymore. I don't know what I would have done without them. -Christy M from Anaheim Hills, CA
Kucsan & McCrea exceeded my expectations. I was hoping that they would save me at best $500 a month but they actually saved me almost $800 a month. Now I am in a 5 yr fixed payment that I can afford, and I don't have to worry about losing my home. I will be sure to tell everyone I meet who is in need of mortgage help to contact Kucsan & McCrea immediately. -Fola A from Harbor City, CA
I am so very happy with what Kucsan & McCrea have done for me as well as all the people I have referred them to. Let me begin by saying that I am in the mortgage industry and was very cautious of choosing the right company to handle my own modification. In the past few months I have seen many modification shops pop up and was very suspect of all of them. I also have many clients who we're eager to be put in touch with a law office or modification company that they could trust to get their own modifications done. I am very protective of my clients and wanted to be sure that the company I would refer them to was trustworthy. The Law offices of Kucsan & McCrea have proven themselves both trustworthy and dependable time and time again. So far I have referred them 3 clients and am going to send 20 more clients their way. Their customer service has been great and they always kept me in the loop during my own modification and all the clients that I have referred them tell me the same thing. Kucsan & McCrea understand the chaotic and sometimes scary world of loan modifications better than any law office or mod shop out there, and their results have proven it time and time again. They understand both the mechanics of simply getting the modification done as well as the stress it can put on a person and their household. I can say all of this with 100% confidence because not only did they get me into a payment that I could afford for my own home and saved my house from being sold, they have also done the same for the clients that I have sent their way. -Stephanie H from Foothill Ranch, CA
I am so very happy with the offer Kucsan & McCrea got me. I am retired and on a fixed income. Thanks to Kucsan & McCrea, my payment dropped more than $500 a month into a fixed payment that I can afford. -Thelma P from Hollister, CA
The economy, like so many others, affected us tremendously. Our income was reduced due to company cut-backs, and before we knew it our home was in foreclosure with a sale date. Kucsan & McCrea not only postponed and stopped the sale date, thus saving our home, they also got us in a payment that we can now afford even with our income being reduced. -Karen K from Ventura, CA
The offer that Kucsan & McCrea got me was absolutely lovely. I was in an adjustable mortgage and my hours were cut at work. Before I knew it, I was in foreclosure with a sales date quickly approaching. Kucsan & McCrea got me into a fixed payment for the life of the loan that saves me almost $1000 a month. I told one of my friends from work about them, and he also got a really good modification. -Robert G from Gardena, CA
I literally said "I could not freaking believe it" when Kucsan & McCrea called me to tell me they lowered my payment by more than half with WAMU. I was convinced that they were not going to do anything because I had spent so much time getting nowhere with WAMU on my own. -Scott T from San Jose, CA
Our prayers were finally answered thanks to Kucsan & McCrea. I could not believe that they were able to save our home and put us in a payment that we could afford. I was so sure that we were going to lose our home because our lender did absolutely nothing with us when we tried to get our mod done on our own. It took months for Kucsan & McCrea to get it done but they did it, and I am so thankful for what they did. We were able to save money throughout the process since our home was in foreclosure and our lender would not accept payments. I want to thank each and every person from Kucsan & McCrea that worked on our file and helped save our home. -Lisa R from Suisun City, CA
I am a single mother who recently had to take full time care of my mother because of health reasons. To add to that, my daughter was also recently in a car accident which added stress to my life both emotionally and financially. Kucsan & McCrea were able to lower my payment from an interest rate of 10.25% to 2% fixed for 5 yrs capitalizing [putting all her unpaid payments on the back of the loan] as well as getting all my late fees waived. I could not believe how good the offer was until I saw the loan docs for myself. -Jacqueline from San Bernardino, CA
I am so happy with what Kucsan & McCrea got me. I lost my job and because of this I became delinquent with my mortgage and owed more than 20,000 in late fees and unpaid payments. Kucsan & McCrea lowered my payment from $3700 to $2000 and got me out of a Negative Payment Loan and put me in a payment that now pays down my principle instead of adding to it. Thanks guys!" -Rick R from Garden Grove, CA
I am so impressed by what Kucsan & McCrea got me. They lowered my payment to where even if I got a minimum wage job I could still afford my payment. They got my payment dropped from $2300 to $1500. I know how great this offer is because I worked for a loan modification shop for a very short time, and I know how easy it is for a company to say they're doing something when they really aren't. I decided to go with Kucsan & McCrea for my own loan modification needs instead of a loan modification shop because I knew how shops like the one I worked at functioned, and I felt much more confident going with a law office instead. Kucsan & McCrea truly made me a believer that these things get done and that there are honest law offices out there fighting to help people keep their homes. -Robert M from Foothill Ranch, CA
My dad had his loan modification done by Kucsan & McCrea, and I helped communicate things for him. We were so relieved when we received the loan docs that the representative from Kucsan & McCrea informed would be on the way. We were so nervous about the entire process because we had friends who paid other modifications companies and all they did was take their money. Even though Kucsan & McCrea kept me informed during the process, I must admit I was still nervous that I was going to be a victim. When the representative told me about the offer I was thrilled and sure enough days later the loan docs arrived with the offer they told me they got me. My dad was behind more than 6 months and didn't have to pay one penny to bring himself current but simply had to make his new modified fixed payment. His new payment went from $2058 interest only at 6.25% to $843 at 2% for the first 5 years. It then went up to 3% on the 5th year, 4% on the 6th year and then went fixed for the life of the loan at 5.125%. I cannot tell you how grateful and thankful I am for choosing Kucsan & McCrea. Not only did they save my dad's house but they also will save him tens of thousands of dollars for the life of the loan. He will never have to worry about his mortgage again. I will most definitely tell everyone I know about what a great job they did. -Maria T from Bakersfield, CA
This was a property that my husband and I lived in that was owned by my parents. Both my husband and I lost our jobs and the payment on our 1st skyrocketed which quickly put us into foreclosure. We both found jobs in March of 09 but were so behind in our payments that we were unable to catch up. Kucsan & McCrea were so attentive to our file and got us a fixed payment that we could afford. All of our late payments and unpaid taxes were put on the back of the loan and now all we need to do is make the payment that we can now afford. -Christy G from Fremont, CA
My husband and I were put into one of those bad Negative amortization loans without understanding what it really was. I am retired and my husband works part time in the wine business and when our loan adjusted we had no way of making the new higher payment. We tried to refinance but when the economy fell apart we could not qualify for anything. I knew we needed help but I was really nervous about giving money to a loan modification company because of all the stories of bad companies out there who only took people's money. A friend of mine referred me to Kucsan & McCrea telling me that they got her a great lower payment and saved her house. Kucsan & McCrea did just that for us. Now we are in a fixed rate for the life of the loan with a payment that we can afford that is now paying down our principle instead of adding to it. -Linda W from Napa, CA
I was amazed that Kucsan & McCrea were able to save my home. After a career in the mortgage industry, I had pretty much been unemployed for the last 2 years and was also going through a very difficult divorce. By the time I was gainfully employed I was 11 payments delinquent on both my 1st and 2nd mortgages on my house. I had only been working 3 weeks when my house came up for Trustee Sale by my 1st mortgage lender. I knew through my own extensive experience, my situation was unlikely to be resolved. I tried to imagine what it would be like to move out of my beautiful home for the last 13 years and I was frightened what would happen to me, my 2 dogs, and 2 cats that have been my constant companions all these years. With only a few days notice, the attorneys were able to cancel my sale date, and even more impressive had my modification approved. AMAZING!!! Now they are working on getting my 2nd mortgage modified and I can sleep (and breath) again. I am so grateful to everyone at Kucsan & McCrea that worked so diligently on my behalf and performed a literal miracle. -Christine M from Mission Viejo, Ca
I own 2 rental properties and am self employed. Due to the economy, my company has sustained severe hits financially and my renters have been less than reliable. I knew I needed help in dealing with my personal mortgage crisis and researched loan modifications thoroughly. I decided to go with Kucsan & McCrea, and I am glad that I did so. At first, it was difficult and frustrating to reach someone from the office but they reassured me that they were working on their customer service and quickly beefed up their customer service staff. After that, I never went more than a day before getting a call back. They always answered all my questions which was very helpful to me since I have never been in this situation before. Kucsan & McCrea have so far got me a great modification on one of my two rentals, and I am eager to see what they can do on with my personal property and other rental. -Ken T from Paradise, CA
My wife and I are very happy with the modification that Kucsan & McCrea got us. My hours were cut almost 20% and we were unable to make our mortgage payment. Kucsan & McCrea got us into a 30 yr fixed payment that saved us almost $800 a month. -Randy H from Crescent City, CA
I can't say enough good things about Kucsan & McCrea. They saved the house that Iso deeply love. I am self employed and my business has suffered greatly not only because of the economy but also because I had 3 of my company cars destroyed in 3 different accidents. Because of these car accidents, 9 of my employees were unable to return to work. Needles to say, it affected my company tremendously, financially and emotionally speaking. The modification that Kucsan & McCrea got me will save me tens of thousands of dollars in the years to come. I am so thankful for what they have done for me. -Janet H from Chino, CA
I am so thankful of Kucsan & McCrea. Because of them they saved my home and now my daughter will be able to finish school with all the money we saved. -Janie F from Watsonville, CA
We are very happy with what Kucsan & McCrea got for us, they lowered our payment $700 less than what they thought they would be able to get us in the initial phone call with them. We decided to go with them after we tried to get a modification on our own and were declined because the lender said we had too much debt, which to us made no sense. It simply told us that they weren't listening. Kucsan & McCrea got them listening and got us a fantastic modification. -Gina H from Temecula, CA
Kucsan & McCrea exceeded my expectations by lowering my payment more than $1700 a month. I am a mortgage broker and was hit really hard by the real estate melt down and because of this I got behind in my payments. Business is slowly picking up and now thanks to Kucsan & McCrea I am in a payment that I can afford. -Ryan P from Irvine, CA
I am very happy with the offer Kucsan & McCrea got me. I am self employed with 4 kids and though I was current with my loan, I was having great difficulty making my payment every month. Kucsan & McCrea took me from a 5.875% to 3.25% fixed for the life of the loan saving me more than $600 a month. -Timothy C from Clovis, CA
Kucsan & McCrea exceeded our expectations by getting us a fixed payment much lower than what we were expecting. We went from a 6.26% to 2% fixed for 5 years where it will then stay fixed for the life of the loan at 5.25%. My wife and I are thrilled with what we got. -Greg M of N Hollywood
I am so happy with what Kucsan & McCrea got me. Before choosing them I did a lot of research and saw that Kucsan & McCrea was really helping people, and they had no marks as a bad company. That was really good for me especially when it took longer than I expected but in the end they proved to be true. Their customer service was great and they always kept me informed. -Krystyna M from Walnut Creek, CA
I can't say enough good things about Kucsan & McCrea as well as my processor on my file. To me she was like an angel sent from above. My husband after 20 years with the same company was fired and after 50 years of business his company closed its doors and went out of business. I too lost my job and was put on permanent disability due to a medical condition. My husband was able to find another job but his hours were then cut in half. I then suffered a heart attack which only added to the overall stress on my family. We have lived on our home for years and love it dearly. My daughter recently had our first grandchild, and I was so fearful that we would not be able to celebrate our first Christmas with our grandchild in our home. Kucsan & McCrea were so great to me during the entire process and held my hand even when we were first denied a modification. Thanks to all their hard work they were able to save my home from foreclosure, lowered our payment to something we can afford, and we will be able to celebrate many Christmases in our home. I am so very grateful for what they have done for me and my family during these extremely difficult times. -Elsa C from Downey, CA
The modification process was completely frustrating, and at first I wanted to blame Kucsan & McCrea for the length of time it was taking. I must admit that in the beginning I took some of my frustration out on my processor, but I then realized however after many conversations with her and the staff that the main problems laid upon my lender and not the law office. The law office proved time and time again that they were on top of my file and were fighting with a lending giant that was clearly unorganized and not efficient in getting modifications done. I am so glad that I hired Kucsan & McCrea to handle my modification. The staff was fantastic and fought for me every step of the way, keeping me informed and up to speed even for the not-so-good news. In the end it paid off and the law office got my payment cut in half exceeding my wildest expectations. -Marlene F from Garden Grove, CA
I am so completely satisfied with what Kucsan & McCrea did for me. Due my overtime being cut and having to take care of my parent's home along with mine, I quickly became behind on my mortgage payment. Kucsan & McCrea got me out of my negative amortization loan and got me into a step mod fixed for the first 5 years at 2%, where it then goes into a step mod and caps at 5.125% for the life of the loan. Every time I called in I got an answer to my question which greatly put my mind at ease during the entire process. -Susana B from San Diego
I am extremely happy with both the professional and attentive ways that the offices of Kucsan and McCrea handled my case. They got me offers on my First and Second Mortgages that combined save me more that $1500 a month. I am so very glad that I chose them to handle my modification and urge everyone else out there to do the same. -Pat H from Berkeley, CA
Kucsan & McCrea exceeded my expectations. I am 100% satisfied with what they got me and how quickly they accomplished it. They reduced my principle balance by almost 100k and got me out of my negative loan and into a fixed rate for the life of the loan that I can afford. -Kirtis B from Napa CA
I highly recommend hiring the Law Offices of Kucsan and McCrea. My experience with Kucsan and McCrea has been over and above what I expected. In March 2009, I found out that all the equity that I had taken out of my homes and invested with an investment company had been seized by the Securities Exchange Commission for fraud. All my assets were frozen and I was not able to make my mortgage payments. Since then, I have had to sell, short sale and do loan modifications on my properties. I was in a panic and desperate for help. I hired a couple of law offices to do my loan modification on my two primary homes and they are either still working on it (since April) or they have taken my money and told me they could not help me. I have had to file a complaint with the State Bar on one of the law offices because I believe they were a scam. By this time, I had fallen behind on my mortgage by 60 days on my primary condo. I called the staff at Kucsan and McCrea for help because I was in a panic. They were great, and said they worked on loans with Indymac. I was happy to hear that because the other law offices would tell me that IndyMac was one of the harder lenders to work with. I hired Kucsan and McCrea on September 15, 2009. They were a breath of fresh air! The day I submitted my application, there was a processor calling me back that day to walk me through the process and help me with submitting my documents. I got a call from them every week updating me on the status of my loan modification and letters telling me what they have done with my file. I was always able to contact them with any questions and they would call me back right away. They submitted my file on September 15, 2009 and got a 3-month trial period offer onOctober 28, 2009. After the trial period, IndyMac will then modify my loan. My mortgage was $2006/mo. and IndyMac was able to cut my mortgage in half. I now pay $1080/mo. My current rate is at 7% ARM and IndyMac is going to offer me a 30 year fixed rate. I can't thank Kucsan and McCrea enough. They are a lifesaver! I am ecstatic with the work that Kucsan and McCrea have done to help me make my mortgage more affordable. Importantly, their professionalism made the whole experience painless and fast. They were able to get a modification in less than 2 months! The law firm of Kucsan and McCrea is a rare find! I am very happy that I hired them. It's been such a pleasure working with them that now, I am a little sad that I don't need to be in contact with them on a weekly basis. :) My only regret is that I didn't hire them for my other property. -Amy M from Long Beach, CA
I want to tell everyone I meet that Kucsan & McCrea is absolutely the right law office to choose in handling your loan modification. I am disabled and in 2 yrs I will retire and my income will be reduced. I have to admit I was upset about that the process taking longer than I wanted it to, months in fact, but the staff of KM law always reassured me that it would be worth the wait and to hang tight. I wasn't sure if I was getting the run around. My sister paid another company $3500 to do her loan modification and after a year and a half they did nothing for her. I shouldn't have doubted KM Law. They came through in a big way. The official loan documents arrived this week, and I now am in a step modification where for the first 5 yrs I'm at 2% capping at 4% for the life of the loan. I have now referred my sister to KM Law and will tell all my other family members and friends. -Thelma P from Hollister, CA
I was very reluctant to go with Kucsan & McCrea. It took me a couple months before I decided to finally move forward. With so much news about people getting basically robbed on false promises of loan modifications, I just wanted to be sure. I am glad that I chose to go with Kucsan & McCrea. They got me principle reductions on my First and Second Loans, lowered my combined monthly payments by more than $700 a month, and got me out of my Negative amortization loan and into an interest only that will no longer add to my principle. -Paul B from Bakersfield, CA
I have already referred 3 friends and family members to Kucsan & McCrea and am about to refer a fourth. Kucsan & McCrea basically saved my life. I am contractor whose business had basically been cut to less than half due to the economy. I am a single father and have 2 kids to support and didn't what to do. My home was behind more than 12 months and I had an impending sale date. The superb processor assigned to my file was able to postpone the sales date and, Kucsan & McCrea got me into a trial offer saving me hundreds of dollars a month. From there they got me into an official step modification offer starting at 2% and capping at 5% fixed for the life of the loan. When the official docs arrived at my door, I felt like I was floating off the ground. I can't express just how good it felt to have those official trial docs in my hand. Like I said, Kucsan & McCrea basically saved me and my family's lives. -Steven P from Simi Valley, CA
Kucsan & McCrea came through for me in a big way. I was like most everyone else, my work slowed down, my loan adjusted, and I quickly found myself months behind in my mortgage. Kucsan & McCrea got the 7 months that I was late on waived and an additional $50,000 taken off the principle. They also got me into a step mod starting at 2% for the first 5yrs and maxing at 5.125% for the life of the loan. I will definitely refer people to them. -William G from Ontario, CA
I am very happy with what Kucsan & McCrea got me. I work for the public school system and the cut in hours greatly affected me. Having chronic back pain due to an accident only added stress to my financial situation. From the beginning I was adamant in getting a fixed loan and that is just what I got. I am now in a step mod fixed loan at 2% for the first 5 years where it then caps at 4.5%. I also don't need to pay for my taxes since they are impounded which is very helpful for me during the tax and Christmas season. -Greg M from North Hollywood, CA
I truly believe that Kucsan & McCrea was the answer to all my prayers. I am a 74 yr old recent widow with 3 properties on a fixed income. My husband always handles our financial affairs so it was difficult for me to manage all our properties. I found all 3 of them in foreclosure and needed help. Kucsan & McCrea got me two great offers on 3 of my properties saving one of them after it was sold. They are still currently working on my Third property and I have total confidence in their abilities to save this property as well. I thank the Lord everyday for their help. -Reola R from Norwalk, CA
I am so happy with what Kucsan & McCrea did for me and my family. I am self-employed and due to the economy, my business was dramatically affected. I became months behind in my mortgage and was facing foreclosure. Kucsan & McCrea saved my home by lowering my interest to 2% for the first 5 yrs where it will cap at 4.75% for the life of the loan, cut my payment in half, had over $150,000.00 differed from our principle balance, and I didn't have to bring in any money in to pay back the months of mortgage payments that I missed. -Maria D from Bellflower, CA
I am very pleased with what Kucsan & McCrea did for me with my loan modification. I was in an interest only at 6.75% that was going to be adjusting. Kucsan & McCrea got me 4.23% fixed for the life of the loan saving me over $1000 a month! -Earl M from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
I am very satisfied with what Kucsan & McCrea got me. My wife was temporally laid off which quickly put us behind in our mortgage. KM Law got our sales date removed, brought us current, and got us into a 4.75%, 30 yr fixed. -Alvarao C from Chula Vista, CA
I wanted to take the time to say that if it wasn't for Kucsan & McCrea I would not be in my home. I worked in collections for a major auto company for over 20 years and my husband worked at his government job for over 20 years as well. Both of our hours were reduced and because of this we found ourselves 5 months behind. We decided to go with Kucsan & McCrea after trying on our own and we got nowhere. The staff could not have been better. Kucsan & McCrea worked so hard fighting with the lender and reassured us time and time again when we thought nothing was getting done or we had been taken and lied to. There were times when we were really uncertain as to who to believe because our lender would call us and tell us that Kucsan & McCrea was not in their system and that we should try to get our money back. To add to our frustration and worry, our loan was a VA loan and we had to contend with them as well. The VA department would use the same tactics as the lender telling us that Kucsan & McCrea was not in their system. We would call Kucsan & McCrea scared, angry, or confused about the entire process and they would answer all our questions and put us on a 3-way conference call with the lender to reassure us that Kucsan & McCrea was in the system and progress was in fact taking place. Being that I worked in collections for so many years I knew that one department does not have access to the screens of another department and that often times that only adds confusion. The lender's collections and escalation departments would continue to call us and tell us thatKucsan & McCrea was not in their system and that the lowest they could go was 5%. Kucsan & McCrea was able to get us 4.5% fixed for the life of the loan. I can't tell you how happy I am. I am the care giver for my mother who is sick as well as a family member who is handicapped. If it wasn't for Kucsan & McCrea and their tenacity, we could all very well be on the streets instead of in the home that I wish to never leave. -Deborah E from Peoria, CA
I could not believe what Kucsan & McCrea did for me. I was 12 months behind and owed back property taxes as well. KM Law got me out of my 7% loan and got me into a step modification starting at 2% for the first 5 years and capping at 4.75% for the life of the loan. My monthly payment went from $2898 to $1171!! The staff did such a wonderful job keeping me updated and pushing the file to get us this great modification. -Elvia T from San Fernando, CA
I have a rental property, and my tenants simply stopped paying me rent. I am in construction and my business was hit very hard only adding to my financial hardship. Kucsan & McCrea brought my loan current and got me into a step modification fixed for 5 years at 2% and capping at 4.875% for the life of the loan. This cut my payment in half making it much easier to find renters who will now pay me. -George A from Placentia, CA
My wife and I are retired and on social security. We lost our savings in the stock market last year and it devastated us. To add to this, our home loan was an adjustable rate mortgage and started increasing which made us get behind on our payments. We were so sure that we were going to lose our home, we even began to pack. Kucsan & McCrea removed our sales date scheduled a week before Christmas, brought us current, and got us out of our 7.5% adjustable loan and into a 4.1% loan fixed for the life of the loan. -Ruben P from Fresno, CA
I am a firefighter and due to state cut backs my hours were cut. Because of this I became behind in my mortgage. I have to say I was totally skeptical of giving a law office money to help me with my modification, but I knew I needed to do something. The process seemed to have taken forever, months in fact, and I got so sick of faxing and re-faxing updated bank statements and pay check stubs. The staff assured me it was the lender and not them, and I knew that but it didn't make the process any less frustrating. Regardless of how long it took it was totally worth it because what Kucsan & McCrea got me was unbelievable. I didn't have to pay the lender 1 cent for a good faith/contribution payment, they brought me current putting my 8 months of unpaid payments on the back of the loan, and I went from 9.5% to 4.7% fixed for the life of the loan saving me $700 a month. I told a couple guys from my station about Kucsan & McCrea and they are now helping them as well. -Aaron A from Hesperia, CA
I am very happy with what Kucsan & McCrea got us. The staff at the law office was very helpful, cheerful, and upbeat throughout the entire process reassuring me that we would get an offer. Well, they were right, we got in a step modification starting at 2% fixed for the first 5 years and maxing out at 4.55% for the rest of the loan. -Joe F from Buena Park, CA
I am so very grateful with what Kucsan & McCrea did for me. They got me 2.42% fixed for the life of the loan. -Oscar A from Los Angeles, CA
Kucsan & McCrea was the answer to all my prayers. They got me 2% fixed for the life of the loan. - Divina C from Van Nuys, CA
I am so happy with what Kucsan & McCrea did for me. They lowered my rate to 3.125% for the first 5 years and going up to a maximum of 4.75% for the life of the loan as well as deferred more than $150,000 off of my principle balance. Their customer service was very helpful throughout the entire process reassuring me the entire time that the firm would do everything they could to get me an official offer. -Suziane G from Irvine, CA
Both my wife and I had our hours cut and because of this we became behind in our mortgage. Kucsan & McCrea got us great step modification starting at 3.85% fixed for 5 years and ending at 5% for the life of the loan -Byron D from North Highlands, CA
I cannot thank Kucsan & McCrea enough for all that they've done for my family and I. The last year was very tough on my family, I suffered a heart attack and my husband lost his job. We were so convinced that we were going to lose our home that we were already looking for apartments to rent. The service and staff at KM Law was fantastic. They gave us hope throughout the entire process reassuring us that we would get through this and be in a better place. We are now in a fixed rate for the life of the loan that we can easily afford. -Elsa C from Downey, CA Printer Friendly View | |||
