Using your servicers attorney
Curious to get others opinions but has anyone EVER had a desirable outcome from using your servicers attorney?
If I was “forced” to use them I find they are:
1. Lazy
2. Lack communication skills
3. Extremely slow
4. Rack up costs
I would also not recommend asking your servicer who they use or recommend as I know of an attorney a servicer recommends and they are the biggest POS on the planet.
Always ask other investors and IF THEY USED THEM. I see far too many people recommending individuals they have not personally used because they read a post on Facebook etc.

I tried it a couple of times as I was getting started years ago. Bad idea. I ended up working with the attorney directly anyway because the servicer was not managing things at all. Just a bad idea. My advice, hire your attorneys directly.
