Mike got me out from under water with a mortgage. On top of being a strong advocate and on top of knowing the law, he knew the realtor who could accomplish a short sale. What a relief. That was a couple of years ago, and my credit is good again.

I was very happy with the knowledge, guidance and representation I received. Michael understood the issue quickly and worked to resolve it efficiently. I highly recommend him.
I came to this office for a consultation. I was greeted by an attorney who listened to my situation with a great deal of patience. He gave me sound advice and I will surly be coming back to him when it is time to move on his advice. I was very impressed by the caring attitude!

I am a huge fan. Mike saved our home from the evil clutches of the banking system trying to steal our property. The banks are faceless entities with no ability to discuss real time problems using instead cold dead computer algorythems. Mike forced them to the table, made them adhere to the law and saved our property that we still own. I believe Mike has a broad based knowledge of the Law with the real time ability to get the job done. I whole heartedly Endorse Salem Law and Mike. Thanks for all you accomplished for us. Wayne Wood

This was a very positive experience for difficult circumstances. Their use of simple questionnaires to gather the necessary information made it very easy to pull together all necessary documentation in an efficient manner. They answered all my questions, provided support for the unknown, and helped in preparation for the hearing in such a way as it was not undaunting. I highly recommend their services.

Michael was so kind and helpful even though he wasn't my attorney. My attorney retired and I needed copies of court documents from over 3 years ago, and Michael found the documents I needed in the Court's archive system and sent them to me. Michael had no obligation to do this for me, but didn't hesitate even for a second. What great client care!!!

I consulted with Michael Shurteff about my home that was in foreclosure. He was extremely knowledgeable, and gave me the advice to help me move forward and feel confident that I was making the right decision. He explained different options and the impact of each. He also put my mind to rest, with regard to the worries I had over a long period of time. I appreciated that he was not only respectful, but assured me that for many of us who lost our homes to the recession, there was much out of our control. He was very ethical.
I would definitely recommend him.

I have not personally done business with Salem Law. But I highly recommend Michael Shurtleff. Here's how I met him. A few years ago, I rented to a couple who had a lot of trouble with a bank foreclosure on their house. They were looking for a clean start, and needed to find a place to rent and move into. I investigated their situation, and spoke with their attorney, Michael Shurtleff.
My prospective tenants had completed a loan modification and were making required payments on time. The bank was automatically deducting the payments from their account. All seemed well. After many months of payments being deducted from their account, the bank began the foreclosure process due to non-payment. When contacted, the bank said they had no record of the loan modification or the payments they had deducted from their account by auto pay / ACH. My prospective tenants provided documentation proving the loan modification and payments made. The bank then sold the home loan to another bank.
The new bank had no record of the loan mod or payments made, and began foreclosure proceedings. Prospective tenants again provided documentation of loan mod and payments. Their loan was sold 7 times within a few years. Each bank bought their loan in a package of non-performing loans with no documentation of the loan mod or payments. Each time the loan was sold, my prospective tenants provided documentation of the executed loan mod and payments. It was a terrible cycle.
My prospective tenants then engaged the legal representation of Salem Law, and Michael Shurtleff. Mr Shurtleff was able to negotiate cash for keys for a substantial amount. They were very borderline about meeting my rental criteria. I rented to them with a significant refundable deposit, provided by their settlement, and they worked out fine as tenants. This helped them get a new place to live and the fresh start they needed.
Since then, I have met with Mr. Shurtleff and emailed with him a few times. If I had need of an attorney for bankruptcy or dealing with a bank related to foreclosure, I'd engage his services. I have referred people to him a few times because I know he honestly cares about his clients. I recommend him highly for these areas.

The Salem law team helped me out every time I had a question comment or concern. They were the most professional people that I have dealt with in the legal system to date. Whenever I had a question they were back to me whether it was a Friday evening Saturday morning even sometimes that Sunday. They set the bar pretty high for me to ever to call another lawyer in fact I've already referred to people to them for their legal needs.

I would describe my experience with Salem Law in two words, extreme competence. Michael Shurtleff, is a master of his craft and hand held me through every step. He was always available for questions or clarification and his assistant, Cindy, through a broken leg, processed paper work like a wizard.
For those who work to much or have little free time, Mike has a system were most tasks can be done remotely, via the web or email. This made the endless forms, and data collection, process much more tolerable, as i was able to do the tasks on my own time.
At every turn he was right on the money and knew what needed to be done. I would highly recommend his services.

I was “served” more accurately my fiancé was given documents on a small claims case brought against me. This was done while I was out of the country on a work assignment. I called the courthouse and was told regardless of fact that I wasn’t physically served, that I would still have meet the filing deadlines even though I wouldn’t be back in the country until they had passed. I’m very stressed at this point not knowing what to do so I setup a phone consultation with Michael.
During our consultation it became apparent that the help I needed was a little outside of Michael’s normal line of work. Rather than push me off to someone else Michael helped me through my next steps in resolving my case. This did two things for me; it relived a great deal of stress that allows me to get back to my work, it also showed me that Michael is truly interested in helping people. There was nothing in my situation for him but he helped anyway. I would highly recommend Michael.

During the time he helped me, I often found myself thinking that if I had a need for legal counsel in the future that he would be someone I would feel confident contacting. He along with his staff that assisted him made an uncomfortable subject a seamless process. Very personable and takes the time to listen and explain.
