  • Roy D. Van Vliet
    Mountain View, CA
    My family’s estate was in complete chaos, abandoned for over 14 years. The estate and I personally suffered from government escheatments, complex tax liabilities and fraud. I was completely oblivious until The Argent Firm approached me and reported its research and interrogation had found our family assets were in governments’ control and had been spread across five States.

    Regardless of how organized and prepared we think we are, when you lose that special part of your life suddenly the smallest task can be overwhelming. My wife and I had life insurance investments, but when she past-away I ignored the insurance company’s notices and forgot about the policy. I didn’t know the money would end up in the government’s hands until Argent Firm contacted me nearly 5 years later.
  • Lawrence J. Janny

    It’s very rare that I am moved to take up a pen and write to commend someone on their business, Argent Firm really impressed me! My back story is a warning to anyone who does business with a mainstream bank, building a relationship with your banker doesn’t mean there infallible. Micro-management and interdepartmental communications don’t protect customers from banker’s costly mistakes. More

    I was contacted by Argent Firm about my possible asset being held by the State of California, USA. Initially, I did not respond to them because I doubted their true intentions. My family and I were in California, USA only a short time, and believed I cleaned up everything before I returned home to Korea, it was a long time ago (nearly 15 years).More

    I am an entrepreneur of two demanding small businesses, a single mother of two young children and although my story has a happy ending our lives haven't been without struggles. I am so greatful to Andrew Delio and The Argent Firm, they didn't give up and continued searching for us nearly a year. The news couldn't have come at a better time, 7 years past since the death of the children's father and we no idea he had a life insurance policy. And toward the final stages of our claim when a sudden surprise threatened the success of our case, Argent's legal team responded quickly and handled everything. They were amazing, our case took over 8 months to settle, but everything was explained to us clearly and concisely, we were always kept up to date on the progress of our case and at all times Argent's priority was our complete satisfaction. Every member of Argent's staff were caring and considerate... Hands down the best customer service we ever experienced.

    Now, let me give you the benefit of my experience regarding this thing they call Unclaimed Property, there's only one thing you absolutely need to know "the government doesn't want to give you back your money." It's not as easy as they make it out to be to recovery your money and sure the government offers free help; We tried to get our claim approved for nearly 3 years, we couldn't get answers or help so you know what we did - gave up! Nearly 12 years later, it wasn't the government who came looking for me, it was The Argent Firm - I'm not a paid spokesmen, I am here to tell you right now you won't find a more knowledgeable or helpful group of people "Hire this company" you will be so happy that you listened to me.

    My experience with Andrew P. Delio has been so meaningful and hopeful. The day Andrew called me and told me about my cousin and the estate I immediately felt blessed since how I lost all my immediate family members. The patience and professionalism gets a five star from me and that's without confirmation of the withdrawal from the petition. I know anyone dealing with Argent Firm will have a great experience. Finding out I have a living cousin is worth more than money to me. It's a shame that my relatives that will inherit the estate and will not even think of my cousin and I. Thank you again Argent Firm.
