If your house is in foreclosure, I can help you. I have been representing individuals with foreclosure related problems for more than 45 years. The lawyers at my law office aggressively represent individuals and families whose homes are foreclosed upon and keep them in their homes. We appear at foreclosure court conferences for our clients. We also litigate foreclosure lawsuits by submitting detailed Answers to Summons and Complaints with defenses such as defective foreclosure lawsuits, defective mortgages, predatory lending, and numerous other real estate related defenses.
In some situations, foreclosure related bankruptcies are the most ideal way to handle foreclosure problems. In these cases we can file either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcies on behalf of our clients. Filing a bankruptcy not only stops foreclosures from moving forward but it can eliminate credit card debts and other financial obligations. At the end of the bankruptcy we can help educate our clients as to re-establishing their credit.
Call us for a free consultation. At our initial meeting we will discuss all of your foreclosure options and explain how we can keep you in your home!
