I would just like to thank Tim McFarlin for being such a huge help to me in giving me my life back. I have used Tim for a few cases that had to be dealt with accordingly. He was very informative, tedious and definitely did his due diligence for me. He was kind, timely and he put me at ease throughout the whole court process. I definitely recommend him for any legal needs that you have.

I almost lost my home because of this attorney. He was supposed to sue the bank. After donating 5,000 to him he was supposed to then get me a loan modify. Did you know that is illegal? Paying up front for a modify when you think you are retaining an attorney to sue the bank?

Neither did I. I would caution you to run like the wind away from this firm. It just gets better. So he has Mary Guenther who I am shocked still works for him contact me via facebook and asked me to take care of this review since he relies on reviews for business. When I contacted him and paid him up front 5 grand it was to sue the bank for breach of contract very clear breach of contract. All he had to do was take them to the table and show them the breach in my loan agreement. So I get 200 grand tacked onto the back of my mortgage on top of it while he was advising me to declare bankruptcy. The attorney here in my home town that reviewed this said Tim blew the statute of limitations and the only reason I did not lose my house was because I refused to die. My review stands. It is an honest account of the hell I went through with this firm claiming one thing and doing quite another. Do not ever try to strong arm me again Tim. I just buried my Mother and I am not going to tolerate harassment by you or your employees to get a review you do not deserve. Cease and desist. You are a lawyer you should know what that means. I guess the state bar would have been a better start but oh well. He changed his profile to be a bankruptcy attorney. When I was dealing with him he was not listed as that

I live in central Los Angeles but I make the drive down to Irvine whenever I need to address something for one of my businesses. I was referred to Tim many years ago and have been a loyal customer for years.

My sister had to file bankruptcy and Tim handled it. It went as well as we had hoped and I and my sister and I are eternally grateful for the seriousness Tim took throughout the entire process. And the cost was very reasonable. Thank you from my heart.

I deal with Tim and his team almost every week through my work. I work in commercial real estate and that means lots of lawyers! Tim is professional and everyone associated with his business treats me and my members with respect all the way down to our secretary. We look forward to working with them more in the future and appreciate their hard work, professionalism and kindness.

Tim and his gang of awesome lawyers have helped my family the past five years whether it was in real estate transactions or more general law such as creating a trust. They are fairly compensated and they make certain the work is done correctly the first time which is tough to get most law firms to accomplish.

I'm currently working with Jarrod on a trademark infringement case where another business is using a name I had registered.

I feel like it is a reasonably simple case and with Jarrod on my team I feel the business in question we're dealing with is going to show us their hand and settle because Jarrod knows this type of law inside and out.

Timothy McFarlin is an excellent attorney. He handled a legal matter for my mother in law. I interviewed several Law Firms before choosing McFarlin LLP. He was professional, confident and I felt he could deliver results. Which he did! I had a very unique case and the result was better than I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend McFarlin LLP for your legal matter.

I have been very pleased in my dealings with McFarlin LLP. They have a very competent staff and are quick to reply to my various business legal needs. Attorney Tim McFarlin is a genius at seeing solutions to my problems and is quick to follow through with a plan. The results have been great. I have had wonderful experiences with many others on their staff as well, including attorney Jarrod Nakano and Yanira Flores. The fees are very reasonable as well. Thank you McFarlin LLP. I will be a lifelong client!

I spoke with attorney Mr. Rodriguez from the law offices of McFarlin regarding a Real Estate matter. His responses time was less than 10min, followed with amazing and constructive legal advice which I have adopted. I highly recommend this group for any real estate issues.

My son got hurt at a skate park. We wanted a personal injury attorney who was an expert. Luckily we found him here. I'm not supposed to go in the details of the case but we were very satisfied with the agreement and we would never have and this outcome had we done it on our own.

I was referred here by another lawyer and I'm so happy that was the case because my lawyer,Gary, did a great job in my litigation. I felt like I had the better lawyer and the other side didn't have a chance against us. And I was right because we totally got what we were asking for.

I have had Tim help me with a lot of different things including estate planning and even some help with real estate transactions. Nothing too complicated on the real estate front but he charges me a good rate and he can do a lot of the things I need done. They have a lot of good lawyers here to help you with just about everything.

I felt like my mortgage lender had really messed up the terms of my mortgage. I brought all the information into Tim and he was shocked by the negligence of my lender. I won't say the name of who gave us the mortgage but they literally changed the terms at the very end and although we signed the paperwork it was still dishonest and Tim helped us fix the agreement. The bank actually claimed it was a mistake but take that with a grain of salt. Tim and his associates are amazing.

We thought we were going to dues are Warehouse because we were behind on payments due to some issues. But Tim made certain that wouldn't happen. He worked with the bank and now there is a plan in place for us to make smaller payments for a longer amount of time. It's workable and we will someday own the building and we have him to thank. He is definitely a foreclosure expert whether a house or in our case a commercial property. What is amazing is some of the things we suggested to our bank were shot down but when Tim and us met with them they were much more receptive to the ideas we had. Lawyers can be great!

Tim McFarlin and all the associates at McFarlin LLP are professional & personable. Not all situations that require legal assistance are bad, however, their customer service has made this process all that much more tolerable.

Tim is great. I'm so glad his office is near mine. It's convenient. He's helped me with bankruptcy litigation and in filing Chapter 11. Everything went according to plan and his rate was better than others I had compared.

I have worked with Tim a few times. He has helped us with reading over various documents regarding bank loans as well as business loans for our embroidery business. He has caught some errors that would have costed us and he also made the other lawyer be more clear in the contract to keep us from many headaches. Attorney McFarlin is detailed and very professional and his results speak for themselves.

I have nothing but nice things to say about these guys. They help me with my chapter 11 bankruptcy. They are very knowledgeable and say we're also caring. I dealt mainly with Tim which was cool because he runs the place but his other lawyers and assistance were helpful. I got what I wanted in the bankruptcy and Tim made sure of it.

I was told about Tim from a good friend who had done a decent amount of real estate transactions with him. Tim has helped me through various real estate and business related issues including form LLCs, a trust and assist me with several real estate deals. He is our one stop shop and always does a good job for us.

They helped me with some real estate litigation. I like that the lawyers are easily accessible and do they have good business hours. Work takes half the time it did with the prior lawyer I used. The process moves fast with Tim and I like it that way.

I used them when I was going through a bankruptcy and they made it as simple as possible. They did all the work. All I had to do is give them my bills and paperwork and they made it happen. If I could give them a thousand stars I would.

I don't know how common bankruptcies are in Irvine but I had to file. It was a very traumatizing experience but none of that can be laid on McFarland. Every one I doubt with at this firm was both caring and professional and I thank them.

When I was facing a stressful legal situation I didn't know where to turn. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to work with Tim McFarlin and the McFarlin Law staff and attorneys. I can honestly say they made a very stressful situation manageable and easy by always patiently answering questions and communicating well. It's hard to find the right balance with an attorney who is aggressive but yet also patient in answering questions and communicating. McFarlin did a great job keeping me up to date and also aggressively working on my case. Thank you

I worked with Tim to get some information on bankruptcy for a seminar I was holding. He was very knowledgeable and giving with his information. I would recommend and use him in any sort of bankruptcy litigation. He also made it clear that if any of the people at my seminar had questions that he would speak with them for free and so I think people appreciate the fact he's willing to help and isn't all about charging that hourly rate right off the bat.

I have worked with Tim as well as Charlie. We have a business in Mexico and so it's perfect have Charlie as a tax attorney because he has on one more than one occasion had to use his bilingual speaking ability to speak with folks who don't know English or don't know it very well. Both Tim and Charlie do a great job and I will continue using their services in the future.

What I love about McFarland is he doesn't add on extra hours or do frivolous work. He charges me a fair amount and his hourly rate is fair as well. Do this I say 40% when compared to the last lawyer I had work with who will remain unnamed. Tim and his hello la practicers will continue to get my business and I appreciate them.

Unbelievable. I hired this attorney because I have a problem HOA. I spoke to Mr. Rodriquez many times. He was polite and nice but seemed sort of clueless. I later learned that he is not an attorney--he is an office manager. He never happened to mention that!! So, I gave them $5000. I get a check back for $3000. So it cost me $2000 for nothing. They sent one letter to the management company that got one short response telling the law firm to look at the CC&R's. They were sent the CC&R's. by me. My current lawyers are honest, efficient and amazing. I guess I should have asked everyone in the office their titles, but I never thought I needed to do this. Live and learn.

Wow! Thank you Thank you so much for all you have done. I had been trying for 3 1/2 years to get a loan modification. While dealing with the back and forth tactics of my lender, they decided to foreclose, (which is totally illegal if you are "working with a client on a mod") I did my research, and interviewed 5 different law firms. I decided on McFarlin after speaking with some of their staff, and my decision was confirmed when I met with Timothy. What a down to earth, genuinely nice guy, super knowledgeable and someone that will do whatever it takes to make things right. Immediately they went to work and filed an injunction and eventually got the foreclosure cancelled. The lender agreed to consider my case for a modification. This is when Mary, McFarlin's Legal Secretary (Wonder Woman) stepped i and worked diligently with me for almost a year, hounding the lender and going back and forth until a few days before Christmas 2015. Mary called and I did not answer, she called right back and was so genuinely excited to tell me that we had received a loan modification! All I can say is if you are in the position of possibly losing your home, call McFarlin, they are the best. I would be on the street if it were not for them!

Thank you Tim, Mary and staff! I am forever grateful!

I was behind in my mortgage for about two years from which time I had filled up very many loan md. applications and I had been passed on from one organization to another and after two years I had received a negative answer so finally someone recommended the McFarlin Law Firm.
They were able to secure a very good loan with a good interest rate and forgive all of the penalties and late charges.
I would highly recommend this firm for any law related affairs.

We are a hard working "Christian family",  who had gone though the modification "torture mill" with Bank of America and several "fraudulent loan modification firms/attorneys", who had left us in worst conditions then we entered when they were closed down by the Attorney General's office ..We were in a desperate situation because Bank of America, after months of playing games with us, leading us on and pretending to be helping us by having us apply for programs they NEVER had intentions of giving us. Actually they were on the fast track of trying to foreclose on our home after reneging on honoring several modification! We knew we had to FIGHT bank 'legally"... So we called  Tim McFarlin (McFarlin LLP)! Our first contact was with Paul Rodriguez who brought us into the office to meet Paul . So, with the help of Tim McFarlin..who organized a legal team consisting primarily of Connie Catone and Jarrod Nakano  (and several other attorneys during different period), his legal Secretary Mary Guenther who kept us in the loop during the entire process, assisting us in the proper way to fill out the paperwork and sending us status emails as our case...she was AWESOME!  Our case went a little over 2 years! But,  McFarlin  were able to keep us in our home during that time and we walked away with a better modification and one in which BofA will remain under the watchful eye of the courts if they try to renege on this one! Throughout our entire, STRESSFUL ordeal with Bank of America, we found our lawyers to be sensitive and caring...wanting to get US the best deal possible. We had a excellent experience with with McFarlin and would highly recommend them!
Blessings,
Renita and D'Andre Franklin

After my divorce I was in a really bad spot financially. I was shouldering most of the debt from the marriage and I had a mortgage I couldn't afford. After relocating I found myself unable to make it paycheck to paycheck. After a lot of thought, I decided I needed to file for bankruptcy . I thought it was going to be a really complicated, but they made everything really easy. The mortgage company and collection agencies finally stopped calling, and I was able to start fresh. Thank you so much!!!

I was sued and so I contacted a few esteemed business folks I am close with and I was urged to get ahold of Mr. McFarlin as he was the reason for a winning suit. From the beginning it went flawlessly and if I ever have any more legal problems down the road I will most certainly utilize McFarlin’s legal talents. I will also let others in on the excellence concerning Tim’s talents as he alleviated my problem with the utmost precision.

When a local hospital nearly killed me (I can't go into the situation because of the settlement agreement) I decided it was right for me to get compensation. I desired to be aligned with a lawyer who would put me in the position of winning the suit and getting me the highest amount of money.

There are many lawyers out there but after a lot of online detective work I decided to schedule an appointment with Mr. McFarlin. I outlined everything, showed him supporting documents and after a long chat and many questions he assured me I had a strong case.

I was hesitant to go against a large hospital but much to my glee we settled with the hospital without ever having to go to trial. Mr. McFarlin and his team are excellent and they did everything they said they would do! I got what I deserved and recommend Mr. McFarlin!

Very pleased with my experience at this firm. I found myself in a very difficult situation, and after speaking with two law offices before this, I was left feeling they weren't sincere in their concern for my case and were just out for money. I was very skeptical, but the staff at McFarlin LLP walked me through each step of the process to resolve my situation, and unpacked a lot of the legalese for me. They were very patient and made sure I was aware of everything from start to finish. The rates were more than reasonable and I would definitely recommend this firm.

UPDATE: eGumball vs McFarlin LLP. Judgement in favor of eGumball, Inc.

We pride ourselves in the good relationships we form with our clients, and we regret the rare instances when relationships deteriorate. In this instance, however, we humbly believe we did everything to help this law firm succeed and yet we believe we were taken advantage of. After servicing this law firm for many months, the firm simply refused to pay for services that we legitimately provided. The law firm then demanded a settlement and threatened to write negative reviews if we did not capitulate. Since we had invested substantial time and money in this client’s account and had not been paid, we sought redress in small claims court. We won a judgment on December 9, 2013. Despite the law firm’s claim that we failed to provide services, in reality we provided local maps optimization services which improved the clients cluster data and places listing. Immediately after we obtained the small claims judgment for $329, this client filed a lawsuit against us in Superior Court. We believe this was filed merely in retaliation for our insistence on being paid for our services like all other clients. It is unfortunate that the law firm has decided to spread this dispute across the internet, but we want the true facts to known.

I would like to thank the following for the success of my 2nd loan work out. They delivered more than what they promised.
1. Mary Guenther - Knowledgeable and acted quickly on any issues.
2. Paul Rodriguez - Told me ahead of time the contingency plan.
3. Tim McFarlin - Provided his time to explain my concern out of his precious time.
While we are in the process, I felt there concern with the result of the case.

We had a great experience with McFarlin! Our first contact was with Paul Rodriguez who assured us that, even though we were no longer upside down on our mortgage, they would be able to help us with our charged off second mortgage. Mary Guenther kept us in the loop during the entire process, coaching us in the correct way to fill out the paperwork and sending us status emails as our case worked it's way through the process. She would even send us an email from time to time when nothing was happening to let us know what we should expect next. Before we knew it, we had 12% settlement offer and we couldn't be any more satisfied.

When it comes to hiring a company/firm that provides me with a particular service I need, I leave no stones unturned in my search for such a company until I am convinced they will provide the best service for the most reasonable price. I extensively researched a good number of different firms that could help us with our rather complex mortgage situation. Among them was the McFarlin firm, which came highly recommended by our financial planner, and they seemed to be the right fit. And were they ever. These guys know what they're doing. They were able to guide us through a very lengthy process with a level of patience, persistence, perseverance and professionalism you rarely see these days. I am very pleased with the outcome they brokered, and I highly recommend this firm to friends and family. Hire these guys with confidence. I did all the due diligence & legwork of scrutinizing for you, you will not be able to do better than hiring this firm. Period.

Had a very tough case on a loan modification with BANA. The bank approved the
modification via an injunction brought about by McFarlin LLP. However, BANA subsequently sold the servicing to another bank. The new mortagage bank did not
accept BANA's modification. It was only through sheer perseverance that the
firm was able to persuade the new bank to accept the original BANA modification.
It was equivalent to going to hell and making it back. Without McFarlin, we would have lost our home. Cannot recommend them any higher!

We were looking for a legal team to assist us in negotiating a settlement on our second mortgage. We found McFarlin LLP thru an internet search engine as someone who specializes in that area and received positive feedback from previous clients. Looking back, I can say with full certainty that I am happy we made this decision. Everyone who was working on our case was very easy to reach by phone and/or e-mail, Tim McFarlin was readily available to discuss our plan of action and keep us up-to-date. Mary, who was handling our file, monitored our situation regularly. Most important, McFarlin got us a settlement that I NEVER imagined we could've attained given the circumstances. We are extremely pleased with the outcome.
