We Know New York Foreclosure Law

We have been defending Long Beach homeowners against foreclosure for years. We understand how overwhelming those legal notices feel when they start arriving in your mailbox.

New York has some of the strongest homeowner protection laws in the country, but only if you know how to use them. We know which procedural requirements banks often skip, which documentation is frequently flawed, and how to negotiate with mortgage servicers who would rather foreclose than work with you.

You’re dealing with your family’s future. We treat it that way.

How We Defend Your Home

First, we review your foreclosure paperwork and mortgage documents to identify any procedural violations or documentation problems. Banks make mistakes more often than you’d think, and these mistakes can stop a foreclosure completely.

Next, we file the appropriate legal responses to halt the foreclosure proceedings. This immediately gives you time to explore your options without the pressure of an impending sale date.

Then we negotiate directly with your mortgage servicer for a loan modification, payment plan, or other solution that keeps you in your home. We know what these companies will accept and how to present your case effectively.

If negotiation doesn’t work, we’re prepared to defend you in court. New York requires banks to follow strict procedures, and we make sure they do.

Complete Foreclosure Defense Services

Our foreclosure defense includes challenging improper documentation, negotiating loan modifications, and representing you in mandatory settlement conferences. We handle communication with your mortgage servicer so you don’t have to navigate their phone systems and paperwork requirements.

We also explore alternatives when keeping the current mortgage isn’t realistic. Sometimes a short sale or deed-in-lieu arrangement protects your credit better than a completed foreclosure.

Long Beach homeowners benefit from New York’s foreclosure timeline, which typically takes 15-18 months from the first notice to sale. That’s time we use strategically to build your defense and negotiate the best possible outcome for your situation.

We can typically halt foreclosure proceedings within days of being retained by filing appropriate legal responses with the court. In New York, once we enter an appearance and file responsive pleadings, the foreclosure cannot proceed until the court addresses our defenses. This immediately stops any scheduled sale and gives us time to negotiate with your lender or prepare for trial. The key is acting quickly once you receive foreclosure papers, as waiting too long can limit your available defenses.
Your chances depend on your current income, the reason for your financial hardship, and how much you can realistically afford for monthly payments. Banks are often more willing to modify loans than homeowners realize, especially when the alternative is a costly foreclosure process. We review your financial situation and present your modification request in the strongest possible terms. New York’s mandatory settlement conference also provides a formal opportunity to negotiate modifications with your lender’s representatives and a court referee.
Yes, you have the right to remain in your home throughout the entire foreclosure process until there’s an actual foreclosure sale, and even then you typically have additional time. In New York, foreclosure cases often take 15-18 months or longer to complete, especially when there are valid defenses. This gives you substantial time to work on loan modifications, catch up on payments, or explore other alternatives while living in your home. You cannot be forced out until the foreclosure is completely finalized.
Documentation errors can completely stop a foreclosure or force the bank to start over. Common problems include missing assignments, improper notarizations, incorrect payment histories, and failure to follow proper notice requirements. New York courts take these procedural requirements seriously. When we find significant errors, we file motions to dismiss the foreclosure case entirely. Even minor errors can delay the process and give us more leverage in negotiations. Banks often prefer to offer better loan modification terms rather than fix their paperwork and start again.
Foreclosure defense fees are typically a fraction of what you’ll lose if the foreclosure completes. Consider that you’ll lose all the equity in your home, face significant credit damage, and likely need to find new housing at higher rental rates. Most foreclosure defense cases are resolved through negotiation rather than lengthy litigation, keeping legal costs manageable. We’re transparent about fees upfront and work with clients facing financial hardship. The cost of defense is almost always less than the cost of losing your home.
This is actually the best time to take action. Once you’re 90+ days behind, foreclosure is likely coming, but you have more options before it starts than after. We can contact your mortgage servicer immediately to negotiate a loan modification, payment plan, or forbearance agreement. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes because you’re not negotiating under the pressure of active foreclosure proceedings. Don’t wait for legal papers to arrive – the earlier we start working on solutions, the more options you’ll have available.
