If you receive a foreclosure summons, it is essential that you seek the qualified legal assistance of foreclosure defense attorney Harry Ross. Involving an experienced attorney early in the process may help you take advantage of certain legal options, such as stopping a mortgage foreclosure judgment by modifying the existing mortgage. We can negotiate with your lender and try to reach an agreement that allows you to keep your home, if possible. We can also explore other options, such as filing bankruptcy so that you can benefit from the automatic stay provided by this legal action. In some cases, you may have a claim against the mortgage company for predatory lending practices.
