Keep Your Home and Your Peace of Mind

You’re not just fighting to keep a house. You’re fighting to keep your kids in the same school district, your neighbors who check on you, and the life you’ve built in Belle Harbor.

When foreclosure proceedings stop, the constant anxiety stops too. No more dreading the mailbox or jumping every time the phone rings. You can sleep again knowing someone with actual legal authority is handling the lenders and servicers who’ve been ignoring your calls for months.

The goal isn’t just to delay the inevitable. It’s to find a real solution that works with your current financial situation.

Experienced Queens Foreclosure Lawyer

We Know New York Foreclosure Law

We have been defending homeowners throughout Queens County against foreclosure proceedings for years. We understand how New York’s judicial foreclosure process works and where lenders make mistakes that can save your case.

Most importantly, we know that behind every foreclosure case is a family dealing with circumstances they never expected. Job loss, medical bills, divorce, or just the reality that what you could afford five years ago isn’t what you can afford today.

We’ve seen how this process affects Belle Harbor families specifically. The pressure of maintaining a home in one of Queens’ most desirable neighborhoods while dealing with financial hardship creates unique challenges that require both legal expertise and practical understanding.

Stop Foreclosure Process Belle Harbor

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we review every document in your foreclosure case. Lenders make mistakes constantly – wrong amounts, missing signatures, improper notices, transferred ownership issues. These aren’t technicalities. They’re legitimate legal defenses that can stop the entire process.

Next, we file the appropriate motions with Queens County Supreme Court to halt proceedings while we negotiate. This immediately stops any scheduled foreclosure sale and gives us time to work. No more countdown clock hanging over your head.

Then we contact your lender or servicer directly to discuss modification options. When they’re dealing with an attorney instead of you, the conversation changes completely. We speak their language and know which programs you actually qualify for versus which ones they’ll try to steer you toward.

Throughout this process, you’ll know exactly what’s happening and when. No legal jargon, no surprises, no waiting weeks to hear back. This is your home and your life – you deserve to understand every step.

If there’s a foreclosure sale scheduled, we can typically get an emergency court order to stop it within 24-48 hours. New York law allows for emergency motions when homeowners are facing imminent loss of their property. However, this requires immediate action – don’t wait until the day before the sale. The sooner we can review your case and file the appropriate paperwork with Queens County Supreme Court, the better your chances of stopping the sale and buying time to explore your options. Even if you’ve received a final notice, there are still legal avenues available, but time is critical.
Foreclosure defense focuses on stopping the legal proceedings against you by challenging the lender’s right to foreclose, questioning their documentation, or identifying procedural errors they made. This can halt or dismiss the entire case. Loan modification, on the other hand, involves negotiating new terms for your existing mortgage – typically a lower payment, reduced interest rate, or extended repayment period. We often use both strategies together: defend against the foreclosure to buy time while simultaneously negotiating a modification that makes your mortgage affordable long-term. The best approach depends on your specific financial situation and what went wrong with your original mortgage.
Being behind on payments doesn’t automatically mean you’ll lose your home. In New York, foreclosure is a judicial process that can take months or even years, and there are multiple opportunities to resolve the situation before any sale occurs. Many homeowners successfully save their homes through loan modifications, payment plans, or by catching up on missed payments over time. The key is taking action before the situation gets worse. Even if you’re several months behind, lenders often prefer to modify loans rather than go through the expensive foreclosure process. We’ve helped many Belle Harbor homeowners who thought their situation was hopeless find solutions that let them keep their homes.
We understand that if you’re facing foreclosure, you’re already dealing with financial stress. Our fees are structured to be affordable for homeowners in financial hardship, and yes, we do offer payment plans. The cost varies depending on the complexity of your case and what services you need – whether it’s just foreclosure defense, loan modification assistance, or both. We’re transparent about all costs upfront, so there are no surprises. Many clients find that the money they save through loan modification or the time they gain by stopping foreclosure proceedings more than covers the legal fees. We’ll discuss payment options during your consultation and work out something that fits your current budget.
Bring your original mortgage documents, any loan modification paperwork you’ve received or submitted, all foreclosure-related notices and court papers, recent mortgage statements, and documentation of your current income and expenses. If you’ve been in contact with your lender or servicer, bring records of those communications too. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything – we can help you obtain missing documents and work with what you have. The most important thing is to schedule the consultation quickly rather than waiting until you’ve gathered every possible document. We can start protecting your rights immediately and obtain additional paperwork as needed throughout the process.
Yes, and this actually creates additional opportunities to defend your case. When mortgages are sold or transferred between companies, the new servicer must have proper documentation proving they have the legal right to foreclose. Many foreclosure cases can be challenged based on improper transfer of ownership, missing assignments, or gaps in the chain of title. If your mortgage has been sold multiple times, there are even more opportunities for errors. We thoroughly investigate the ownership history of your mortgage and challenge any company that can’t prove they have the legal standing to foreclose. This is one of the most common and successful defenses in foreclosure cases, especially when mortgages have changed hands several times.
