Complaint

DONNA
Country: United States
I want to know why IF there are so many bad things being said about Melanie Emery, she has no complaints with either SC or NY State Bar. Surely, if it was a LEGITIMATE complaint, it would be on her record. Everything gets investigated. What I don't understand is why people who get themselves into foreclosure, how they don't blame themselves and want to blame everyone else. I got my modification and it was better than what was quoted. I also stay in touch with the agent that called me because she is my angel! I have referred this company to people I know that are behind on their mortgage.

The real devil in all this, is the BANKS. If it weren't for the banks lying and refusing to help people, we wouldn't have to go through this procedure. It's sad when people don't want to pay for a place to live, then when expect the attorney to perform miracles. Why don't you look up the lawsuits and claims against the bank, then you'll see who is the bad guy in all this

    I have not had a chance to talk to her yet, but I have a gut feeling that she can help.  I am usually not wrong.  I am currently going into foreclosure after several tries to get a loan modification with my bank.  They simply gave me the turn around each time. I do not know you, but I believe you are telling the truth.

      I wanted to know if you have had an opportunity to talk with this law firm or not and if so, what was the outcome, without going into too much detail.

      Thanks

      Don't do it Eddy! It is a total scam. These companies pray on people desperately trying to find a way to save their homes. Number 1 no up front money should be asked for.

    Don't do it!  They will keep putting it off till the letters from your mortgage company pile up.  Once you have paid them $3000 then they will say they can help and offer you something that your mortgage company would offer you anyway!  They are just after your money, it is a serious rip off and I am speaking from experience.  3k down the drain!

    I contacted Floridas Hardest Hit Fund and they recommended me to Emery Law. I paid the the 3K to them (I am disabled) and it seems that they disappeared off the face of the map. Days upon weeks go by and they do not return calls. They "said" they contacted Seterus and told them they are record of Attorney. Emery said that they filed attorney of Record on Dec 14, yet Seterus continued to call me well into Feb. It wasnt till I blew up at a "representive" then I got the Supervisor, Kristen Millard. She assured me that NO Foreclosure papers have been filed. This was told to me approximately 4pm on 2-24-2015. I checked my e-mail and Kristen sent me an e-mail for "review"---NOTHING needs to be done. IT WAS A INTENT TO FORECLOSE NOTICE !
    I have tried calling them back now for 2 days and all I get now is answering machines (again). Cant lose my house (disabled/handicapped)  I dont have money to afford to hire another attorney.

      Please be aware that the mortgage company will tell you whatever they can so you fire Emery.. An intent to foreclose is just that- an INTENT to put you into forelclosure. YOU owe them money!!!! of course they are going to send you threatening letters!!  I received my modification from Emery law back in Dec. but yes, the ENTIRE time I was working with them, wells fargo would say "we havent heard from your attorney" so  I was pissed at emery at the time!!! Then, they forwarded me every single point of contact ever made AND emails that they had from my loan modification case manager! so i apologized to Emery law because wells fargo made it seem like nothing had been done.
      You have to understand, the people that call you from your bank. they are trying to collect money form you. they arent the ones that know about your file. THE BANKS WILL SAY ANYTHING THEY CAN TO DETER YOU FROM HAVING REPRESENTATION.    perhaps you should check your emails. Kristin is hard to get a hold of because shes always on the phone with the bank doing the negotiations, however she ALWAYS replied back to me on email because she can multitask very well. I cannot believe what I got on my modification!!!!!!!! not only did I recieve a 3.76% interest rate (it WAS 5.95% interest rate!!!) PLUS i got a 26,000 principal reduction!!! i didnt even ask for that either, but my senior underwriter was Maranda and she made sure they submitted for a principal reduction with the loan modification!! and after i tried to get a loan modifciation 6 times and they got it done in one shot!!!!! i will refer them to any one of my friends!!!!!

      Kristen Millard did the same thing to me and my husband, I bet she enjoyed her house for the holidays and didn't care about how she ripped people off and didn't make good on her promise. Emery law needs to be sued for false advertisement and malpractice which I need a malpractice lawyer in south Carolina I am from North Carolina, she is very unprofessional.

    I guess that Emery must do enough to get some people to stick up for them.  We've been given the run-around for months.  We've filled out all the paperwork THREE times.  We've worked with them every step of the way, done everything they've asked.  After I made my first payment with a credit card, I was told they no longer accept credit or debit cards because they were "renegotiating rates".  We could only pay by check over the phone.  WHAT?  Their website is amateurish with links that all go to the same page.  I tried to contact Melanie Emery several times and got no response.  There is no way to contact her on the website.  Emery is obviously a scam....it is the next iteration of the Bacon Law Firm (do some research, Donna).

    As for the question of why "Melanie Emery has no complaints with either SC or NY State Bar", the answer is simple.  Emery makes people sign an iron-clad contract that removes all responsibility from them to make good on ANYTHING.  People sign it because they have no alternative.  That's what con artists do - prey on people with no hope.  So, anyone who might complain would be squelched because of the contract they signed.  Most people, however, would be too embarrassed to tell their story unless they were speaking anonymously.

    My experience with Emery Law did not start off very well but Kirstin Millard took over my case and got me a modification that was way better than expected. She fought with the bank every time contact was made. I always told her that I was glad she was on my side and not against me because she can handle her stuff. I cannot say enough positive things about Kirstin. I have been scammed, burned, stolen from, lied to, and cheated in the past. Kirstin is the first person that really cared about me and my situation. Hard worker; smart; tough cookie are just a few of the never ending quality traits Kirstin has.

      How did you get her to return your calls?  I am in the final stages and all my info was moved to Kirsten Millard and was appointed my contact. She doesn't give me the time of day after repeated voice messages and emails. As far as I'm concerned, she's lazy and doesn't have people's interest at heart....

      I suggest you find another company to work your case.. Kirsten Millard doesn't return call nor does she reply to emails... I have been approved for a modification and she was appointed my contact. What a joke...  I had to request my modification package from Fed Ex myself cause she is too damn lazy
