Using your servicers attorney

[Chris Seveney]

Curious to get others opinions but has anyone EVER had a desirable outcome from using your servicers attorney?

If I was “forced” to use them I find they are:

1. Lazy

2. Lack communication skills

3. Extremely slow

4. Rack up costs

I would also not recommend asking your servicer who they use or recommend as I know of an attorney a servicer recommends and they are the biggest POS on the planet.

Always ask other investors and IF THEY USED THEM. I see far too many people recommending individuals they have not personally used because they read a post on Facebook etc.

I tried it a couple of times as I was getting started years ago.  Bad idea.  I ended up working with the attorney directly anyway because the servicer was not managing things at all.  Just a bad idea.  My advice, hire your attorneys directly.
