I signed up with The Balanced Legal Group because they promised me they would renegotiate my loan and get the monthly payment down about $500 per month. I have paid them the full amount of $2450, which is their fee. They have done close to nothing to fulfill their contractual promise. Approximately 6 months have gone by and my house is now in foreclosure. Dealing with them has been a circus. All of the original personnel that were my contacts are no longer with the company. The current ghost contacts I have don't respond unless I make threats of legal action. As an experiment I sent a "New Customer" request through their website, (pretending I was a potential New Customer interested in their services), and BINGO I got a call that night. This is like robbing a bank. This is stealing money, a large amount of money. Please anyone with similar experience please contact me. They can't get away with this. I am taking action and want to join with others, so we can stopped this crime and get our money back. The perpetrators of this scam/crime must be stopped and punished.
Here is a direct quote from their website...

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
We hired Balanced Legal Group to represent us in our Loan Modification with Chase last February 11, 2011. At the beggining they been calling us asking for $2, 500.00 advance fee with a promised that they will be in contact with us to give us updates every two weeks or we can call or email them anytime. We never talked to them except one time when I was lucky that Mr. Sam Branco answer the phone giving me an assurance that he will update me after one week. From that time on despite of emails. calls they never get back to me. We already received a noticed that our house is in the process of foreclosure and has an aution sale date on September 24, 2011. We already terminate Balanced Legal Group Services last week and was asking for the refund of our fees.
If you are dealing with this company GOOD LUCK, they are just after your money. I hope the California Bar Association will investigate this matter and maybe revoke their licenses to practice in this state.
