Sample Case History

of Mr. Aly Ebrahimzadeh, Esq.

…the Olympic performance of the Prometheus Law Firm to date must be shared with anyone who is in the need of an attorney who has the Brass Spheroids that will reassure you that you have made the right choice in finding a lawyer. Aly Ebrahimzadeh, Esq. (owner) has been our attorney in a case that a lot of other families are facing or soon to experience, “Wrongful Foreclosure.” My wife and I were in need of assistance with our Mortgage, so we tried to get a loan modification via the Home Affordable Modification Program. After a year of being ignored, lied to, watching my hair turn gray, and basically being beaten up by “Big Banking,” we found a guy to take our side and be the David against this modern day Goliath. We all know lawyers are expensive but I believe in buying the best, pay once cry once, having peace of mind from driving a Mercedes and not a Toyota. Aly has the experience, knowledge, and determination one should want and demand in an attorney. Reading the E-mails/ letters he has been writing on our behalf is like watching a 100 yard kick-off return by an athlete on steroids but you don’t care because he’s on your team. We aren’t out of the woods yet but we have total and complete confidence that we will prevail. ‘We are high-stepping on the 10′…”
