This firm saved me big time. As i was graduating college, i came to the realization that i had way too much debt. In addition to to student loans, i had like 35k in credit card debt. I had to accept my circumstances and get real with myself. I went ro Oaktree Law to find out my options. Due to my financial circumstances, i qualified for having my debt to be eliminated in a chapter 7. The staff was extremely informative and kind. I never felt like i was being judged. Oh, i also qualified for the lowest retainer fee allowed by law. If you have debt and do not know your next step, do yourself a favor and call Oaltree Law. I promise you that this is the best firm for bankruptcy.

Yelp..Oak tree law is amazing. hearing the advertisement on kfi we gave them a chance. our home of 18years was in foreclosure due to medical disability. with very little hope they worked with our lender and were able to reduce our payment aprox 35% and a fixed low interest loan amazing. they were up front about low chance of success. the out come could not be better. I highly recommend them as a trustworthy representative the will go to batt for you.

Discussed my situation with Oaktreelaw and could not get help getting a loan modification two times. Also was not helpful with embezzlement and real estate fraud.

Oak Tree Law was amazing. A notice of default was filed on my home and a notice of sale was postponed. They were able to take a 2nd TD for an equity line of $187,000 plus in excess of $100,000 and satisfy that debt for $107,000. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs legal advice or is in the same situation of potentially losing their home. All of their staff members were easily reached and kept me up to date at all times. Excellent law firm.

I was in a very bad situation where my home was in foreclosure, I heard about Oak Tree Law on the radio, I called them immediately but I have to admit I was very doubtful. But, WOW, was i wrong!!! OAKTREE LAW and staff were the most kindest people, very patient with me and explained everything in detail. I was able to save my home and very grateful for their service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

I was going through some personal issues, where my Grandmother's house was at risk of being lost, since my uncle filed for Bankruptcy. I needed some guidance on what my options would be, to salvage our home who was in my uncle's name. Oaktree Law gave me a free consultation and answered all my questions. Even tho I didn't hire them, because in the end I didn't need an attorney, I would highly recommend them. They are very helpful and knowledgeable about bankruptcy and real estate issues/laws.

My experience with Oaktree Law staff was awesome. They were very prompt answering or returning phone calls, they were very informative of any questions or concerns that I may have had. Following my bankruptcy discharge, I was able to refinance my home from 30 yr 5.75 principal and interest libor index that adjusted every 6 months, to a 30yr fix at 4.1 interest rate. I’m very proud of this huge accomplishment !

Oaktree Law is the best!!! They were able to save me from foreclosure with a loan modification that was previously denied! Jennifer worked so hard and long for me. Always keeping me updated. I would recommend Oaktree for anyone who was previously denied. Without them I would have been homeless. I will never forget their firm. The best paralegal there is!

After knocking multiple doors (law firms) asking for legal and professional help,
and all firms declined to take my cases, I heard about Oaktree Law in a radio commercial, I went to see them with all my hopes in them they took my cases(3) Very professionals at all the time They fixed my mortgage issues 100%. Definitely Oaktree Law is the guys to see. I strongly recommended Oaktree Law!

Great team of lawyers. The lawyer who signed me up stayed involved the entire time and the lead attorney is responsive and helpful. Anytime I had a question, I just called in or emailed the attorney or paralegal and was responded to quickly. I fully recommend Oak Tree Law. It was a great choice. -Bryan

I heard about Oak Hill Law on the radio...640. I have been struggling to keep my home for nine years, my husband's and son's deaths, loss of income and a slew of attorneys and real estate moguls who have led me in many different directions. I am in a short-sale now, don't feel my best interests have been met, and I left an e-mail last Saturday. I was traveling out of town, did not hear the message sent me on Monday. I was shocked that evening to hear the voice of a man named Rex (Tifts? couldn't quite hear his last name). He left me a wonderful message and I called back the next day. He answered immediately and I told him my concerns. He took the time and effort to answer my questions, to do some research and call me back immediately. He gave me some very valuable information. I asked their fees for what he suggested, and he told me. I told him of someone who charged much less, he told me to use the man. He left me with some more wisdom, thoughts about my attorney and what I might do. I am so happy, glad that I listen to Ken and John, Tim Conway, George Noory. I would recommend this firm and Rex to anyone. They care, they call and they give their expert opinion...thank you, Rex, very, very much. Life hasn't been easy for the past few years and you were a welcome relief. Thanks again, sincerely, Geneva Johnson

Do not believe anything you hear on the radio about the guys. They basically gave up on our loan modification with Chase when it required some work. What a complete waste of time and money. They were awesome until your check clears..then you have to chase them down to get anything done.

I started a business and sank all my assets into it before I realized (late) that I needed to get out. Teamed with medical expenses I was under water and over the past year the team of Mark Hoffman, Julie Villalobos and Ryan Moradi has protected my family's house, vehicles and provided a fresh start for us to regrow. Thank you Oaktree.

Strung me on for years, with 0 results they billed me every month on my credit card like clockwork , but were slow or down right incompetent when responding to the bank. Then after over 3 years I get a letter from them they can no longer represent me because I have too many assets for the bank. 3.5 years ago when I hired them I had more assets then now and they could not see that before they milked me for over $10,000 don't waste your money. They change staff on a regular basis it is some sort of scam that won't be around for long.

When you see a company that has so many 5 star reviews you tend to think they do a great job with Reputation Management. Everyone can't give a 5 star glowing review and have it be true. I am giving my 5 star review to Mark Hoffman because he answers the phone, answers his emails and spent 3 hours with us yesterday getting us from A to Z on a real estate issue we are working on. He took my super skeptical wife and made her a believer that he could help us out and did not promise the moon, but said he would do the best he could do. He gave us action steps and a plan is in place that we feel good about.

The office is non-descript and low key. No big fancy lobby with Starbucks. Don't let that scare you away. What we did get is a very fair price and a plan detailing costs all along the way. We received excellent advice for a very fair set price. We did not get a retainer with a blank check attached and for that we say good job Oak Tree Law. We heard about them on KFI and we did the research. Real Estate Law is their bread and butter and they are very good at it. I hope to be able to update this review along the way or I will give you more info as we go along. Right now, meeting one we have hired them and we are super impressed and feel very confident they will be able to handle our matters well with the expertise and knowledge they posses.

Update as of 10 18 19. They did it. We are so amazed Jennifer Leonard and Mark Hoffman got our load remodified. A weight has been lifted.

I am a believer in these guys and their methodical process to getting your loan remod done.

If you are in an interest only loan and don't see a way out call Mark at Oaktree and he will talk to you and if your situation makes sense he will meet with you. You gotta do your part and bring all the paper work needed and then there will be more paper work. But that is what it takes to make it happen.

If they had a 6 star review I would give it to them.

There's nothing in this life that could be more stressful, and could cause more anxiety, when contemplating a Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy, and, pursuing a home loan modification.

However, for any one of the above, CALL Mark Hoffman first at Oaktree Law, before you call any other firm!

Mark pleasantly, and quite satisfactorily, fielded all our questions, for greater than 6+ hrs (maybe more!) of Q&A over a period of 3-6 months, before & after hiring them for our Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. Everything got discharged to our satisfaction and no stone was left unturned. We also retained them for our Chase 1st home loan modification as well.

With Jennifer constantly "going the extra mile", and service "above the call of duty" support as well, we finally got the loan modification done. "Mark and Jennifer" team at Oaktree law will hold your hand every step of the way and see things through for you. Mark and Jennifer ALWAYS responded to us very quickly, and assisted us, literally, every step of the way, whether it was via phone or email.

Even if you are currently working with another third party, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND consulting with Mark Hoffman before you make your life-changing decision.

I heard an ad on KFI about Oaktree Law.  The radio announcer sounded sincere about their reputation and after a day or so I called.  I was EXTREMELY hesitant to talk to another lawyer but the minute I spoke to Julie Villalobos it was apparent that she cared……yes, cared!  She gathered more information and did more for me during my FREE initial visit than my entire 3 years with another attorney. It took Julie 4 days to file the appeal and get my case back in order.  We continued filing motions for an additional year so that I could juggle my finances and send my daughter to college.  Just last month I made my last bankruptcy payment and my case is closed! Julie and her team not only helped and did their job, they put a personal touch on the case by giving it their full attention and keeping me updated through email, phone calls, emails and texting. Julie is tenacious. I can’t believe the difference in services.  I have now begun the Loan Modification process with Marissa Pitts at Oaktree. Things are flying by and we should be filing next week.  I know better days are on the horizon and can only say that the radio ad set my family on a new course……THANK YOU OAK TREE LAW.

To Those in Financial Trouble:

Like so many others I assumed that personal bankruptcy was useless and not possible today with changes made by congress. I had worked 8 years on a personal project, had good income but the project took way longer then expected, the help and support I was expect was not their, basically things in our country have change so much. So I used credit cards and high interest loans, made mistakes and failed to keep above water.

I know that I had to do BK, looking for a lawyer was a mess, most just not open or honest. Finally I found Oaktree Law from a radio add, run by a women. My first encounter was great with Marissa Pitts, and trust was established.

Since then to today while I wait for the final dis-charge I can say nothing but good things about the whole staff, easy to work with and spot on. I was not one attempting to beat all bills but the commercial credit cards, high interest loans and just bad deals paid unreasonable interest rates on for 3 to 4 years, digging my hole deeper. I can say that Yes, the BK law is still available to help for mistakes made, your life is not over if it was just attempting to do the American thing of make things happen.

Of course I’m aware I’m luck in retirement, my big concern to protect my retirements for my wife. But their is still help available.

Oaktree Law is a solid family law firm with the principal of a good service in return for a set reasonable fee. I highly recommend their firm, can speak highly of all the staff, the easy and clear preparation of your problem and the best way to solve it for a long term fix and reset in life.

You are welcome to use my name or anything because I am very happy I was able to make the connection with Oaktree Law.

Excellent service!  Called into Oaktree and had a meeting with Mark Hoffman within 24hrs.  With all the bad information coming from the banks it was extremely reassuring to speak with someone who has a thorough knowledge of my position and get a professional outline of what my rights and options were.

Oaktree Law tells you the fees upfront and are very polite, sincere and work hard for you. I went to them for a loan modification and quickly learned how fast and thorough they were. Oak Tree saved me over $51,000 dollars and a lot of worries. Thank you all so much at Oak Tree & Tim Conway Jr. At KFI 640AM

I called Oaktree Law because my debts have made my life a mess and I needed to straighten it out. Im 50 years old and when I called I spoke with attorney Rene Dupart. He was able to get an amazing handle on my situation in less then 5 minutes. He was the most courteous attorney I've meet in my life. He talked about bankruptcy that would help me get my debts clean. At my age this was great to here.

I used a different company for a successful loan modification. When I received the paperwork from the lender I needed a unbiased third party to look it over.
After hearing an add for Oaktree on the radio I decided to give them a call.
So far I have spoken with Rex twice. He knows his stuff and can put it terms that anyone can understand. Easy to see that they are not looking just to make money. They will help and give advise like good people should.
In the future if I need these services again I will certainly use Oaktree Law.
They, as have I, learned that generous and thoughtful service pays back much more down the road.

The only thing that I can say is WOW! I called them to ask some advise and spoke to Rex. He was so incredibly helpful, really sweet and kind when taking to me, and he was willing to help me without having me coming in and do a consult or pay a fee. Normally, lawyers will not give you the time of day without you paying for their advice, but he was happy to help, and he talked to me like I was not just a client, but a friend. If I ever need any kind of help again with real estate or property, he will be the first one I call.

Oak tree law is awesome! I was literally about to walk away from my home because I was getting nowhere with B of A and felt hopeless. Until, I heard the radio commercial and called. Long story short I kept my home and got my interest rate reduced from 7.25 to 3.875 percent. Im now stress free and opening up the next chapter in my life thanks to the assistance of Oaktree Law. Marissa Pitts is a great person that assured me the whole time with great confidence that my modification would happen. And it did, but not overnight. So be patient and believe in Oaktree.

If you are looking for someone to help save your house, call Oak Tree Law. My husband and I were struggling to pay our mortgage payments the banks wouldn't help us, told me that they couldn't help unless we were in default. Well that turned bad fast they not only wouldn't help us they put us in foreclosure. We went to a attorney that prays upon these people, she ripped us off 4,000.00. We were under a lot of stress not knowing if our family would have to move. Most people we knew told us we had no chance of saving our house. We could not give in, so my husband and I googled loan modifications with the lender we had and found one success story about Oak Tree Law. We called and spoke with Marissa, she was amazing and felt she truly cared about what we were going through. My husband and I drove from Encinitas to LA took us more than hour to drive, we were greeted with the most amazing staff. We sat down Marissa took her time going over all details and instructions of what we needed to do. Everything she told us to expect to happen did. We got a modification because of these incredible caring and knowledgeable people. I could not have done this with out Marissa and Julie on our side. We love you guys, and have been thanking God for leading us to you. We are so great full for all your time and patients.

We were clients of another loan modification company. It turned out they took our money and did nothing to help us. By the time we discovered Oak Tree Law, we were financially over-stressed and were out of options. Julie Moradi Lopes saved us! She took care of our bankruptcy and then handled the loan mod. We didn't think we could qualify for one since we had filed the bankruptcy. What the previous company could not obtain for us in 2 years was done in less than 6 months. The office was there representing us through every single step. This meant a lot. Our Loan Co. was one of the tough ones. They saved our home! I have referred friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Guys!!!!

I was in a state of panic when I contacted them, I had just received a letter stating my house was going to a trustee sale in three weeks. I called  Oaktree Law at 8:30 am and I was seeing Julie Moradi Lopes by 1:00. She is amazing, kind hearted and understood everything I was going through. She filed everything right away, and put a stop to the nonsense that B of A was putting us through. Julie is a very smart lady and knows all of the ends and outs of BK law, always has the right answer, calls or emails you back immediately she and her staff are on top of everything.

Thank you for always being caring, positive and taking care of my family.

A VERY SATISFIED HAPPY CLIENT!

Thanks for helping me on my loan modification. I tried to do it myself, but just ran into dead ends dealing with Bank of America. After going through the process with Oaktree Law working with me, I know it wouldn't have been possible without their help. Loan mods require professional assistance from an attorney who knows what they are doing and who will stand up to banks and ensure that the bank's employees won't deny you a modification due to incompetence. I also appreciate their honest way of doing business and only accepting cases they know are able to modify, quite contrary to other horror stories I've heard of. I would recommend them to anyone I know who is contemplating a loan mod.

Oaktree Law has helped me in a major way. They were the driving force in my receiving my loan mod. Marissa walked me through every step with perfection which caused a great deal of stress to be removed off of me. So with this being said I give Oaktree Law a 5 star rating in service.

I went to Oaktree Law during a stressful time in my life. I had debt I couldn't afford to pay and a mortgage that had become difficult to afford. I was scared I was going to lose my house that I had worked very hard on keeping. When I went in they were very comforting. They not only decreased my payment tremendously they were always there when I had questions or concerns. Anytime I called there was someone to answer my questions. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone I know.

Normally I do not give endorsements or recommend suppliers no matter how well they may have performed. However in this situation I decided to make an exception because it could help others realize the wonderful results we have achieved and possibly eliminate or reduce the tremendous stress associated with working with mortgage company’s and lenders.
I can't tell you how Oak Tree Law took such a stressful and complicated situation from my family when I was at a dead end with Chase Bank, on getting a modification, which my wife, and I fought for over a period of 18 months with customer service, and this one, and that one, talking and no one caring, we were ready to just give it up.
Then the faithful day, most would say fateful but faith is more to the point, that you entered our lives. From day one you put us at ease and immediately we felt as if our lives were headed back in a direction we knew and understood. Your knowledge of the system, especially Chase Bank, our lender, was critical. You explained the process, the cost, and what we could expect to happen. Surprisingly, it was exact and right on point.
The satisfaction and contentment with what Oak Tree helped us achieve has allowed us to move forward and back into our lives. Sounds weird to say back into and yet move forward but it does state how a peaceful continence, a sense of presence in the now, allows us to have the capacity to see a very bright future. You, Marissa, are a very large, and important piece of why we are headed into a future that is as welcoming and exciting as it has become. Melissa and I are impressed with your business acumen and tenacity. We knew that was what was needed when dealing with the institutions you had the unenviable task of working with. Fortunately for us, you knew what you were going into and what was going to be needed. Bottom line for us is that without you our world, our future would be completely different than the one we now find ourselves in. Melissa, and I thank you from the depths of our soul and count ourselves fortunate to have discovered a person of your abilities.

Thank You Very Much,

Marissa, and Oak Tree law.

Sincerely Henry and Melissa

Everyone in the group was knowledgeable and helpful in saving my home. They know the correct formulas and are there to answer (and go along side you) your fears and questions. I had a predatory loan and when I fell behind on payments when the wife lost her job, Oaktree advised me on the next steps. They got me a $150 K loan reduction and a loan mod with a very low intrest rate. I am grateful for all their help.

I have tried on my own 3x's with NACA to go face to face with my lender, Indymac. I had an adjustable pay option that would be adjusting this July. I was also underwater. Each time I was turned down because I was current and that my payment was within 31% of my income. Even though I was being proactive and trying to prevent a foreclosure, they would'nt help me. So this past January, my wife and went to Oaktree and got the results we needed. By March we received a 3mos. trial modification to start in April. Before our June payment, we received our permanent modification agreement! They offered a 2% for 5yrs,3% for one yr, and 3.875% for 34yrs., plus removed $87K off the priciple balance. Thank you Jesus Christ, and thank you Oaktree for saving my family's home! Continue praying, "Ask and you shall receive".
