Foreclosure Defense Lawyers and Attorneys

Foreclosure defence attorneys represent homeowners facing the loss of a property: challenging the lender's standing and documentation, contesting servicing errors and improper fees, negotiating loan modifications, forbearance, short sales and deeds in lieu, and defending judicial foreclosure actions.

Whether foreclosure runs through a court or through a non-judicial trustee sale depends on the state, and that difference decides how much time you have and what defences exist.

Before you hire

• Act at the first missed payment, not at the sale date. Options shrink dramatically in the final weeks.
• Ask about loss mitigation rules that require a servicer to review a complete application before proceeding.
• Chapter 13 bankruptcy can stop a sale and let arrears be cured over time — ask whether it fits your situation.
• Avoid any company charging upfront fees for a guaranteed modification. That model is heavily regulated for good reason.

Bankruptcy, real estate law and consumer law cover related routes.
