Highly recommend J Trepel for ALL your legal matters. He is very polite, professional and provides quality service at a fair rate.
He got to the bottom of my legal issue that was pending for a couple years with one phone call! 👍

I contacted this lawyer more than 6 months ago for transfer of deeds and he has not attempted to even get this done after I paid for two transfer of deeds. Really bad service.

John made my case seem effortless! He really made me feel at ease in knowing he had all of the details covered and all I had to do was show up via Zoom to my court date. John prepared everything for my court date and my Divorce was final that day! I would recommend John to all of my friends and family in the future!!!

He is sloppy and gave my foreclosure negotiators fee to the buyer. He has refused to correct his error. In fact , tried to blame it on me. As if I have more control than a closing attorney making commissions off title insurance and fees for a closing ?
He also represents himself to own the title company which he does not! He doesn't return calls/emails . He's avoiding me now cause he told me he put that check in my closing package yesterday and than said " oh well" . When I went back to the office looking for it.
So basically we negotiate a foreclosure and he gives our fee

My husband and I wanted John Trepel instead we got his associate Phil. We didn't know it would turn out the way it has. This man has no experience (at least it seems that way). He didn't listen to my husband's wants, instead he went to court fighting for the complete opposite. Hasn't provided us with documentations, but sends us bills with no problems. It has been over a year and they are still in court. I believe if John was our attorney it would have been completed months ago. If John is unavailable go elsewhere.

He only read half my case file didn't even read the whole thing. it took him over a month to read only half of the case File.and I had to make three phone calls to make him read my case file. And the Whole
