Experienced Garden City Foreclosure Lawyers

We Know Nassau County Foreclosure Law

The Frank Law Firm P.C. has been defending homeowners throughout Nassau County against foreclosure proceedings. We understand the local court system, the judges, and how lenders operate in this area.

Garden City homeowners face unique challenges. Your property values are high, which means there’s often significant equity worth fighting for. We’ve seen too many families give up on homes they could have saved with the right legal approach.

We don’t take cases we can’t help with. When we represent you, it’s because we see a path forward that makes sense for your situation.

How Foreclosure Defense Works

Your Clear Path to Protection

First, we review your foreclosure documents and mortgage file. Most homeowners are surprised to learn how many procedural errors lenders make. These mistakes become your leverage.

Next, we file the appropriate legal responses to stop or delay the foreclosure process. This gives you breathing room and forces your lender to prove they have the right to foreclose. Many can’t do this properly.

While the legal process unfolds, we negotiate directly with your lender. This might mean a loan modification, payment plan, or other arrangement that lets you keep your home. We handle all communication so you can focus on getting your finances back on track.

Throughout the process, you’ll know exactly what’s happening and what to expect next. No legal jargon, no false promises, just clear information about your options and realistic timelines.

Everything You Need in One Place

Our foreclosure defense covers every aspect of protecting your home. We handle the court filings, document review, lender negotiations, and any litigation that becomes necessary.

You’ll get a thorough analysis of your mortgage documents, loan history, and the foreclosure filing itself. We look for violations of federal and state lending laws, improper procedures, and documentation problems that can stop foreclosure cold.

If your situation calls for it, we’ll pursue loan modifications, forbearance agreements, or other alternatives that address the root problem. Garden City homeowners often have options they don’t know about, especially when they have significant equity or temporary financial hardship.

The goal is always the same: keep you in your home with payments you can actually afford. When that’s possible, we make it happen. When it’s not, we’ll tell you honestly and help you explore other options that protect your interests.

How quickly can you stop a foreclosure in Garden City?

We can often stop or delay foreclosure proceedings within days of being retained, depending on where you are in the process. If you haven’t been served yet, we have more options. If a sale date is already scheduled, we need to act immediately to file emergency motions with the Nassau County court. The key is calling as soon as you receive any foreclosure notice. New York’s judicial foreclosure process gives us multiple opportunities to intervene, but timing matters. Don’t wait until the last minute to get help.

What are my chances of getting a loan modification in New York?

Your chances depend on several factors: your current income, the reason for your financial hardship, how much you owe versus your home’s value, and your lender’s policies. In our experience, homeowners with temporary hardships and sufficient income to support a modified payment have good success rates. Garden City’s strong property values often work in your favor since lenders prefer modification over foreclosure when there’s significant equity involved. We review your complete financial picture before giving you realistic expectations about modification possibilities.

Can you challenge the foreclosure if I actually missed payments?

Absolutely. Missing payments doesn’t mean the lender followed proper procedures to foreclose. We regularly find errors in how loans were transferred, how notices were sent, or how the foreclosure was filed. Lenders must prove they have the legal right to foreclose and that they followed all required steps. Many foreclosure cases have documentation problems, improper notices, or violations of federal lending laws. Even if you missed payments, these procedural errors can stop foreclosure and give you leverage to negotiate a better outcome.

How much does foreclosure defense cost compared to losing my home?

Foreclosure defense costs are typically a fraction of what you’ll lose if foreclosure proceeds. Garden City homes often have substantial equity that gets wiped out in foreclosure sales. Legal fees for comprehensive foreclosure defense usually range from a few thousand dollars, while losing your home could cost you tens or hundreds of thousands in equity, plus moving costs, credit damage, and the expense of finding new housing in this market. We’re transparent about costs upfront and offer payment arrangements that work with your current financial situation.

What happens if we can't save the house?

Even when keeping the house isn’t possible, proper legal representation protects your interests. We can negotiate short sales that protect your credit, pursue deed-in-lieu arrangements that avoid foreclosure entirely, or ensure any foreclosure sale brings fair market value. Sometimes we can negotiate cash-for-keys agreements that give you money to relocate and time to find suitable housing. The goal is always to minimize damage to your credit and financial future, even when staying in the home isn’t realistic.

How is New York foreclosure law different from other states?

New York requires judicial foreclosure, meaning lenders must go through the court system rather than simply posting notices and selling your home. This process typically takes 15+ months, giving you more time to respond and more opportunities to challenge the foreclosure. New York also has strong consumer protection laws and settlement conference requirements that can work in your favor. However, the legal procedures are complex and have strict deadlines. Having experienced New York foreclosure counsel ensures you take advantage of all protections available under state law while meeting all required deadlines and procedures.
