Attorney Barbara Fein took on as clients a couple, close and beloved relatives of mine, who held a mortgage on my house and who really no longer completly understand what they are doing. She threatened foreclosure on my house, after I already had the house under agreement of sale and was about to pay the couple all I owed them, which I did as soon as the house was sold.
They were her clients, but she charged me, an exhorbitant amount for her doing almost nothing, which was automaticslly deducted from the already drastically-lowered proceeds from the house. She ordered me not to contact those people anymore and went out of her way unnecessarily to cause a total and seemingly permanent horribly painful rift in our relationship. I also then had to hire a lawyer to represent me, although for about a sixth of what she charged.
All the people who had to deal with Barbara Fein on my behalf agreed that she is nasty, greedy, unreasonable, and unethical. For her to have taken on a case for clients whose competence is questionsble, essentially just to threaten me and to do little else, but automatically to charge me a large fee, which I could not avoid, when the issue was already solved, was, in my belief and that of my lawyer and my real estate broker, unscrupulous and bordered on malpractice.
There is, among other things, something very wrong with a situation in which a foreclosure lawyer can automatically attach a large fee from her clients' opponent, the victim of an unnecessary foreclosure, upon the completed sale of a house.
