Harmon Law Offices, P.C. Is a foreclosure law firm locatedin Newton and Needham, Massachusetts. The office handlesforeclosures in MA, RI and NH for numerous mortgage giants like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, HSBC, etc. I am a former employee of this firm and this post isintended to shed some light on what goes on at this firm. I feel that this postwill help the general public whereas foreclosure is a very stressful andcomplex process. As a former employee, I got to see the everyday operation ofthis firm and the thousands of files that this office handles. For starters, your personal information is not secure.in a file, there is your personalinformation such as your name, address, telephone number, social securitynumber and other documentation such as communications that were sent to andfrom the client and the mortgagor and pleadings. (Court Docs) During the day, files come from the file room to the desksof legal assistants, paralegals and attorneys. Did I mention that the file roomis not secure. It is locked and you need a key pass to open the door, butanyone can break in at anytime buy smashing the glass pain above the handle. AsI was saying, the files come in the hands of various employees. Many times, files sit on desks or stacked on the floor and will sit there until the fileclerk comes and gets them to put them back or they will sit on the floor ordesk until the next morning. Meaning, your information could be stolen if therewas a potential break in at this office. Harmon should preserved personalinformation by locking all files down at night securing them in case of aburglary. Newton, MAis not a safe area.in fact, my vehicle was broken into right outside theoffice back in March. Harmon is notorious for charging legal fees not earned. Allof the files in the office are imputed on a system called Landmark. It is aprogram specifically created for Harmon. This program allows all of the filesto be worked on a network connected through the office assessable by allemployees.in other words, they take your file and put all the info in theprogram and create all documents by this program. When an employee works on thefile, he or she puts a "note" in landmark. This note is applied tothe legal bill. An employee will put a time on how long they worked on aparticular task.in other words, an employee can put any amount they want, eventime not earned. Employees are required to put notes in for any task theycomplete, for any email or other communication received or made, etc. The notesadd up and the notes the legal services rendered. From my experience in theoffice, a lot of that time is exaggerated. If you haven't read this articlealready, I suggest that you do. Please Click Here Harmon's business practices have not changed. Harmon employs individuals with little or no legalexperience at very low salaries. I, of course, have years of experience and wasan asset to Harmon, but many legal assistants and new attorneys have no ideawhat they are doing and many, many mistakes are made. Have you ever calledHarmon and couldn't get a straight answer? That's because the people working onyour file don't have an answer for you because they don't know anything.
