Hired Attorney Philip Daunt

I got the referral from my realtor for him. At first I wanted him to mediate, but after talking with him about my case I hired him to represent my trust. He and I explained what was required of me and the process. On some items, I was up in the clouds, and he actually sat me down and explained it step by step. I do have another attorney, but it's for something else but philip, it was a lot better than the other attorney . If you're not understanding the process, he will sit you down. Explain educate you so you don't go into it.Not knowing what to expect and today. I highly recommend him and I would hire him again, if I have anymore problems with my other california properties. He is fabulous a great communicator and very detail oriented. Thank you

Hired Attorney Philip Daunt

I am very pleased to recommend Philip for any legal support. I was referred to Philip and found him to be responsive, creative, fair and well-knowledge about real estate law. I thought I had need for 4 legal documents for a lot line adjustment with my neighbor; two to transfer property and two new grant deeds. He consolidated the documents into two that provided an excellent paper trail about the transaction. Further, dealing with a very tight deadline because one of the properties was in closing, he delivered on time and with perfection. Noted, there were no instructions to follow on how to merge and combined the documents; he successfully created them saving me expense. Further, because there were numerous email exchanges between multiple different parties in the push to meet a tight closing deadline, he kept up with each email and could have easily charged me for that time but did not. It was he who initiated the conversation that said charging for that time was unfair.

I cant say enough about Mr. Daunt. He helped me on a residential lease that went wrong. He knows the laws and was able to guide me in the right direction. I really enjoyed his approach to my problems and of course his great guidance that worked extremely well for me.

Finally an honest attorney that will actually tell you when have a good case, when a case does or doesn't make business sense, and whether you should pull the trigger on litigation or not. Philip Daunt understands that in many cases only the attorneys benefit and he finds ways to work out a favorable resolution without wasting your time and money. I've worked with more than my share of attorneys over the years, from family law to hot shot litigators. Mr. Daunt is the best!

We recently sold our home in a short sale. Phillip Daunt was our attorney. He and his staff did an excellent job dealing with a very stubborn lender. Going thru a short sale is very stressful, and Strategic Loan Solutions worked very hard for us. It was money well spent. It took the team of SLS and our realtor Karen Calley all working together to make this happen. Great job!!!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Philip Daunt. In one short consultation,
Philip outlined for me what I needed to consider to make the best decision possible.
He succinctly presented to me the 9 possible paths I could take in the matter and he then answered all my questions. I consider myself very lucky to have found Mr. Daunt as he brought clarity to a very stressful situation. In one consultation, he helped me make the best decision possible even though the decision involved my no
