How Foreclosure Defense Works

Your Case, Step by Step

First, we review your foreclosure papers and mortgage documents. Most homeowners are surprised by what we find – missing signatures, improper notices, or calculation errors that can stop a foreclosure cold.

Next, we file your defense and begin negotiations with your lender. This immediately stops the foreclosure timeline and gives us room to work. We’re looking for loan modifications, payment plans, or other solutions that keep you in your home.

Throughout the process, you know exactly what’s happening. No legal jargon, no surprises. We explain each step and what it means for your family. If we can’t save your home, we make sure you exit with dignity and the best possible outcome.

What's Included in Your Defense

Your foreclosure defense includes complete document review, court filings, and direct negotiation with your lender. We handle all communication so you can focus on your family instead of fighting phone calls.

We also explore every alternative – loan modifications, forbearance agreements, short sales, or deed-in-lieu arrangements. Sometimes the best outcome isn’t keeping the house, but getting out without owing money or destroying your credit.

Auburndale homeowners often have options they don’t know about. New York’s foreclosure laws include protections that lenders hope you won’t use. We make sure you get every advantage available under the law.

We can typically file your foreclosure defense within days of reviewing your case, which immediately stops the foreclosure timeline. New York’s judicial foreclosure process requires court approval, so filing a proper defense forces the lender to prove their case instead of getting an automatic judgment. This usually buys you several months to explore solutions, and in many cases, we find procedural errors or documentation problems that can delay or dismiss the foreclosure entirely. The key is acting quickly once you receive foreclosure papers.
Your chances depend on your current financial situation and your lender’s modification programs. We’ve seen approval rates improve significantly when homeowners have legal representation because we know how to present your case properly. Lenders are often willing to modify loans when the alternative is a costly foreclosure process, especially in Queens County where properties can sit on the market for months. We review your income, expenses, and hardship circumstances to build the strongest possible modification application.
Our fees depend on the complexity of your case and how long the process takes. We offer payment plans because we understand you’re already facing financial stress. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that fighting foreclosure often costs less than they expect, especially compared to losing their home and having to relocate. We’re transparent about costs upfront and work with you to make legal representation affordable. A free consultation helps us give you accurate pricing based on your specific situation.
Yes, being behind on payments doesn’t disqualify you from foreclosure defense or loan modification. In fact, most of our clients are several months behind when they contact us. Lenders often prefer to modify loans rather than complete foreclosure proceedings, which can take over a year in New York and cost them significant money. We help negotiate payment plans, loan modifications, or other arrangements that address your past-due balance while making future payments manageable for your current financial situation.
If keeping your home isn’t possible, we focus on getting you the best exit strategy. This might include negotiating a short sale, deed-in-lieu arrangement, or cash-for-keys agreement that lets you leave with money in your pocket and minimal credit damage. We also ensure you get maximum time to find new housing and that any deficiency balance is handled properly. Even in worst-case scenarios, having legal representation usually results in better outcomes than letting the foreclosure proceed unopposed.
Most homeowners have more defenses than they realize. New York law requires lenders to follow specific procedures, provide proper documentation, and prove they have the right to foreclose. We regularly find problems with mortgage assignments, missing signatures, improper notices, or calculation errors in the amount claimed due. Predatory lending practices, RESPA violations, and Truth in Lending Act violations can also provide strong defenses. Even if your defenses don’t stop the foreclosure permanently, they often create negotiating leverage for better loan terms or exit arrangements.
