I prefer to work by e-mail. If it is at all possible, e-mail me instead of calling me. Then I won’t have to take notes and transfer my notes to my computer.
Generally my fee is 1.0% of your loan balance. My minimum fee is $3,500. I sometimes ask for a percentage of the amount of money I will save you over the next five years. There is a lot of work involved, and your case may take many months to complete.
I generally ask for full payment up front. People ask what motivation I have to work hard on your case if I am already paid in full. I must say that I work hard on my cases out of a sense of duty. I appreciate knowing that I have been paid and will not have to worry about collecting my fee at the end. There is an old and corny saying among attorneys: “The case goes good when there is money on the wood.” Corny but true.
There is another reason why I ask for full payment up front: The lender will generally try to get you to distrust me and cut me out of the picture. I have a more loyal client if the client is financially committed.
I accept credit cards in payment. I also accept checks by telephone.
Call me at 425-771-1110 for further information. Or e-mail me. The fax number is 425-776-8081.
