Matthew Weisberg - Prochniak Weisberg PC
Paid a retainer fee to atty. Matthew Weisberg to avoid foreclosure on my home and he did nothing he claimed he could do. End result, I lost everything

I fell behind on my mortgage payments and contacted attorney Matthew Weisberg who I found by web search. Mr. Weisberg's website appeared to be "Impressive" and in fact is still on the web. I contacted Mr. Weisberg's office by telephone and his "people' arranged a "conference call" to occur approximately a week from that time. Mr. Weisberg DID contact me, but was by his own words, very rushed and told me to briefly explain my situation. I told him I was 6 months delinquent on my mortgage and was in fear of foreclosure. He assured me that he was the guy I needed and that for $1500 he would postpone the upcoming sheriff's sale or, for $2500, he would "aggressively" get them (mortgage company) to modify the terms of the loan. "You need Me" he said. He said to send him the fee and he would get things going. Feeling a little uncomfortable to mail a fee, I drove to his office in Morton, Pa. And paid the receptionist the $2500 fee. At that time I was not able to meet with Mr. Weisberg, he was "not in the office". Almost a month went by and I still did not hear from him. I assumed he was going to meet with me to discuss the details of my "case'. After numerous phone calls and e-mails to his office, he finally called me right before the Sheriff's sale date and assured me I did not have to worry, I was alright. The Sheriff's sale did occur and from there I did lose the house. Mr. Weisberg never did anything he claimed he would do, never suggested any options I had such as short sale, bankruptcy, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, etc. He just let it go to foreclosure. Whenever he did contact me, which was not very often, he would ask me to "refresh his memory" of my situation. I lost my home of 25 years because of this man's incompetence and arrogance (one of his best responses to my questioning was "hey man, you didn't pay your mortgage!"). I now know that I got totally scammed by this guy. True, I was foolish to pay a fee before signing a contract, but like I said he did and still does claim to be a great consumer advocate. The guy is huge phony. Do not use this creep for anything.
