North Wantagh Foreclosure Attorney

We Know New York Foreclosure Law

The Frank Law Firm P.C. has been defending Long Island homeowners against foreclosure for years. We understand Nassau County’s local court procedures and how to navigate the complex New York foreclosure process.

When lenders file foreclosure actions, they’re required to follow specific legal procedures. Many don’t. We know where to look for the mistakes and oversights that can strengthen your position and create opportunities for resolution.

You’re not our first foreclosure case, and you won’t be our last. We’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and how to get results even when the situation looks impossible.

Stop Foreclosure Process

Here's How We Defend Your Home

First, we review your foreclosure documents and mortgage history. We’re looking for procedural errors, documentation problems, or violations of your rights that we can use in your defense.

Next, we file the appropriate legal responses to stop the foreclosure timeline. This immediately puts the brakes on any scheduled sale and gives us time to work on your behalf.

Then we evaluate your options. Loan modification, short sale, deed-in-lieu, or fighting the foreclosure in court. We’ll explain what each option means for your situation and help you make the decision that makes the most sense for your family’s future.

Throughout the process, we handle all communication with your lender, their attorneys, and the court. You’ll know what’s happening at every step, but you won’t have to deal with the stress of managing it yourself.

Complete Foreclosure Defense and Alternatives

We handle every aspect of foreclosure defense in North Wantagh and throughout Nassau County. That includes reviewing your mortgage documents, challenging improper foreclosure procedures, and negotiating directly with your lender for loan modifications or payment plans.

Many homeowners don’t realize that New York’s judicial foreclosure process actually provides multiple opportunities for defense. Lenders must prove they have the right to foreclose, that they followed proper procedures, and that the debt is valid. We examine every detail of your case.

We also help you understand alternatives when keeping the home isn’t realistic. Short sales and deed-in-lieu arrangements can help you avoid the full impact of foreclosure on your credit while allowing you to move forward with dignity.

How quickly can you stop my foreclosure sale?

We can typically file the necessary legal papers within 24-48 hours of being retained, which immediately stops any scheduled foreclosure sale. In New York, once we file an answer or motion on your behalf, the foreclosure timeline is paused while we work through your case. However, timing is critical – the sooner you contact us after receiving foreclosure papers, the more options we have available. Don’t wait until the last minute, because while we can often stop a sale even days before it’s scheduled, having more time always gives us more strategies to work with.

What are my chances of getting a loan modification?

Your chances depend on several factors: your current income, the reason for your financial hardship, how much you owe versus what your home is worth, and your lender’s specific modification programs. We’ve successfully negotiated modifications that reduced monthly payments by hundreds of dollars, but we’re always honest about what’s realistic in your situation. Some lenders are more willing to work with borrowers than others, and having legal representation often gets you taken more seriously in the modification process. We’ll review your finances and give you a straight answer about whether modification is worth pursuing.

Can you help if I'm already behind on payments but haven't received foreclosure papers?

Absolutely, and this is actually the best time to contact us. Once you’re behind on payments, foreclosure is a possibility, but you have more options before the legal process starts. We can contact your lender proactively to explore modification options, payment plans, or other alternatives. It’s much easier to negotiate when you’re not already in active foreclosure proceedings. Many homeowners wait until they receive legal papers, but by then some options may no longer be available. If you’re struggling with payments or know you’re going to miss payments, call us before the situation escalates.

What if my lender says they won't work with me?

Lenders often tell homeowners they won’t consider modifications or payment plans, but they’re more responsive when dealing with an attorney. We know the specific programs available, the documentation required, and how to present your case in a way that gets results. Sometimes lenders reject homeowner requests due to incomplete paperwork or because the homeowner doesn’t know about programs they qualify for. We also know when a lender is violating federal or state requirements for considering modifications. Having legal representation changes the dynamic and often opens doors that seemed closed when you were dealing with them directly.

How much does foreclosure defense cost?

Our fees depend on the complexity of your case and what services you need. We offer free consultations to review your situation and explain your options, with no obligation. Many clients are surprised to learn that the cost of legal representation is often less than one or two mortgage payments, and the potential savings from a successful loan modification or avoided foreclosure can be substantial. We’re transparent about costs upfront and work with you to structure payment arrangements that make sense for your financial situation. The cost of doing nothing is usually much higher than the cost of getting help.

What happens if we can't save my home?

If keeping your home isn’t possible, we focus on helping you exit the situation with the least damage to your financial future. This might mean negotiating a short sale, where the home sells for less than you owe but the lender forgives the difference. Or a deed-in-lieu arrangement, where you voluntarily transfer the property to avoid foreclosure proceedings. Both options are generally better for your credit than a completed foreclosure. We also make sure you understand any tax implications and help you plan for your next steps. Sometimes the best outcome is a clean exit that lets you move forward without the ongoing stress and uncertainty.
