Our Home Foreclosure Prevention Practice
We work with clients from all walks of life, helping you take legal action to stop home foreclosure. Though every situation is unique, there are many different actions we can take, including:
- Filing an injunction with the court. Under certain circumstances, we can file a request with the court to temporarily stop foreclosure proceedings, allowing you time to refinance and find other ways to keep your home.
- Negotiating with your lender for a loan modification or workout. We will aggressively work with your bank or mortgage company, seeking ways to restructure your mortgage so that your payments are affordable. This can include extending the term of your loan, reducing the interest rate and/or rolling any arrearages into a new loan.
- Rescheduling the foreclosure. If a sale is scheduled for your property, we can request that it be rescheduled in order to allow you time to find alternatives.
- Filing for bankruptcy protection. Though bankruptcy should be your last option to stop foreclosure, the filing of a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition automatically prohibits your lender from calling or writing you, or from taking any legal action to collect on your mortgage.

If you face home foreclosure, the most important thing to do is contact an attorney immediately. With the prevalence of home foreclosures in today's economy, you may be approached by a private company that claims expertise in foreclosure prevention. In the final analysis, these individuals and companies do not have an attorney's ability to get results.
