Used him twice... both times he talked me Into the same plea deal the public defender got me. So I guess I spent over $5,000 on 2 separate cases to get the same result a $50 public defender would have gotten me..... edit based on his response. I never went to jail for any crime he represented me for. I had a violation probation out of Broward county which my attorney in Broward got me released while fighting the misdemeanor charge here in lee county, which you represented me for. You got me 9 months probation which is the same offer the PD gave me during my first appearance. Sorry this is just the truth others may have different experiences but it was a waste of money for me.

Leighton Law, Max Panoff and associates were wonderful and worked diligently to resolve my case in a timely manner.
Throughout this difficult time, they were always readily available to answer any questions and I had many.
I was very pleased with the outcome, and it will make my life a little easier. I just wish it would not have happened in the first place.
Thanks again to everyone I worked with at Leighton Law.

My mom and I had the displeasure of talking with Cynthia Nunn from Leighton Law to discuss going after Orlando Health for their negligence in treating my dad's cancer, which led to his passing. Not only did she make us relive our nightmarish story that we had already submitted online, she wasted our time by shutting us down immediately. If she was going to say no, why make us relive the trauma? To add insult to injury, she was actually defending the negligent doctors in question and straight up told us that our loved one was going to die anyway. Whether that was true or not, you do not just say that so nonchalantly to other people. You would not like that if someone said that about your dad. I am almost glad they did not take our case because I would rather deal with the devil himself than deal with Cynthia and Leighton Law after the added emotional damage she did to us.

I've just lost my business and everything else, and yesterday my car that was free and clear got taken away by the sheriff due to a writ of execution for a credit car debt. I called a lot of attorneys, and they all said pretty much that couldn't get my car back, that filing bankruptcy will not help to get it back. Most of the conversations were handle by the paralegals and very few attorneys themselves will take the time to talk to me. When I called Mr. Bigge's law firm I left a message, within an hour Mrs. Rodriguez, Bigge's partner return my call. She really listened to me, was very honest, compassionate and showed me their law firm is really there to help. She helped me and made calls in my behalf with out even knowing me, called me back several times to mantain me informed, until Mr. Bigge was able to call me. When I spoke with Mr. Bigge, because of the emergency of my case that I was trying to get my car back, he scheduled me in the morning of the next day, even though he was booked for the day. Before I went to his office he had already talked to the plaintiff councel and could get my car back. When I met with Mr. Bigge at his office, and he started asking me questions I thought everything was so chaotic in my life, but Mr. Bigge guided me in the right direction, showed me the light and made me realize my priorities. He explain that he's not in my plan until a year from now, that really showed me he's not there to get client's money, instead that he's there for the client's best interest.

Mr. Bigge Jr. is a very understanding and compassionate lawyer. My home was in foreclosure and he proceeded to do what was necessary to keep us in our home. He is always available when I needed advice. Mr. Bigge Jr. is very knowledgeable in my bankruptcy case. He always returns his phone calls and will write correspondence in a timely manner. His office staff is also extremely professional and friendly. I highly recommend Mr. Robert James Bigge Jr.

Met with Attorney and said he would deliver the items in question and did not deliver waited 2 weeks and then said you have to pay us first.
I would never use this attorney or could not recommend.
Bad communication, you have to chase them down for communication. They did not deliver what was agreed on.

The only characteristic that Chad Orsatti has that may equal his very high intelligence is his absolutely stellar ethical standards!
Chad is personable, quick on his feet, has an excellent support staff in Cindi. Chad is polite, efficent, & returns calls in record time despite very business practice.
It is with absolutely zero reservation that I attest to Chad's excellence in every category.
I have dealt with countless attorneys over the years and I found many of them to be professionally satisfactory. Chad blows the doors off of all of them.

Robert navigated us through our home sale and helped us avoid complications with contractors. He frequently emailed us updates and worked tirelessly to ensure the transaction closed on the scheduled date, despite delays out of our control. Robert was one of the only sure things we could count on in a complicated transaction with too many moving parts.

I hired Attorney Feldman in Dec. 2017 to help with with a unique and sensitive rental property dispute. The whole situation was extremely stressful for me (especially around the holidays) but Attorney Feldman kept his cool, managed a very tense and adversarial dispute between me and the other party, and ultimately got me the desired result (refund) within a matter of approximately one week. He even responded to some of my emails after hours around the holidays when I wasn’t expecting it (I was amazed). Atty. Feldman, if you’re seeing this, thank you so much for everything you did to help bring my matter to a positive end result. You were immensely helpful when I was pulling my hair out...lol. Next time I sign any lease I’m going to hire you to at least give it a once over and advise me accordingly-it would totally be worth it to avoid future rental debacles.

I received Mr. Feldman's name after contacting ACAP. I called ACAP because I felt suspicious of the lawyer I hired as my personal representative attorney who was one in the same my dad hired to do his will.
I hired Robert to assist me after our initial telephone consultation. I gave him may areas in which I needed clarification and promised my speed to get through the probate process.
My brother subsequently hired Robert for a real estate closing.
Robert educated me on the various steps of probate, answered layperson questions and was quick to respond to calls and emails.

I was referred to Dan Kortenhaus . My best friend since kindergartens father is also a local real estate attorney. He was my first call, and when he told me there was someone better than he (after his 50 years of practice) at evictions in Pinellas I was surely skeptical. But I've learned to admit when I am wrong. Dan Kortenhaus knows the system, knows the process, and knows the people involved, and unlike many other attorneys I've dealt with in my life, will give it to you straight. Give him the facts, he'll give you the options, and as anyone that is in that situation, that is exactly what you want. I couldn't recommend him enough , and thank you so much Dan!

I was in a custody/divorce case in 2013/2014 and Susan was my savior during that time. She got back to me in a timely manner when I had questions or information to give her. I was involved in a case involving a newborn baby and false allegations and after a year of little or no contact with my daughter I am now a thriving father of a beautiful little girl and spend half of my time with her. I am a man and for this to have happened after reading nightmare after nightmare of similar cases I am sure that Susan was a vital tool in bring the truth out strategically throughout the process. If you find yourself going through a similar situation in the Fort Myers area I would highly recommend you call Susan and explain to her your situation

After 5 years, 5 attorneys and 25k latter i was blessed to find Mrs. Susan Lorene Ray to take over those useless attorneys that took their time just to profit from my situation and probably never even looked at my file. What all the others attorneys couldn't do in 5 years Susan did in such a little time with excellent results. She is passionate in what she does and treats everyone on her side with so much respect and care ,On the other hand she is very aggressive protecting your interest, Just what i was looking for. When compared to the other 5 attorneys they were not even close to her expertise. when i was at a hearing I had the other attorney tried to intimidate me but Susan came to my rescue and put him in his place, She intimidate me and i was on her side, That was awesome. Anyways don't waste you time around like i did and go straight to the best, trust me you will save money and get the results you deserve. Thanks Susan.

Marjorie is an excellent attorney. I hired her to represent me in my divorce and she was able to assist me during the whole process, and helped me keep custody of my daughter, and pay reasonable alimony. She was very accommodating and caring and I would highly recommend her for family law matters. She has also assisted me in business law matters by drafting very specific contracts and has been a diligent and strong advocate on behalf of my business.

Marjorie (Brunelli) DeCastro-Hirsch, Esq. from The Law Offices of DeCastro-Hirsch, P.A. is an amazing lawyer. She was recommended to us because she used to work for the banks, and she knew the tricks they used to screw people. So perhaps we expected too much from the start. She is very personable and likeable. But when we hired her for a foreclosure battle, she was the only person on her staff. She is overworked and underappreciated. That is a shame. I really thought she would fight harder, but the problem was the banks still used the tricks. When I started to ask questions and forgive me, ask for replies, well things went south. She was offended when I wanted to know what was going on with my case. And so my case was settled, the bank made an extra $3000 off me, and so did she. Lesson learned. She is a great attorney, just not a fit for us. She owed me paperwork in the end, and never replied to emails sent. But it is ok. The best thing I can say is that we wanted to hire her to handle another legal matter for us, we went to another law firm and we are happier.

In early Jan 2023 I was scammed for a large sum of money. I filed a police report with the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO). The report was forwarded to the BCSO Economic Crimes Task Force for investigation. The sheriff’s office located the money and initiated legal steps to seize the money. The BCSO sent me a letter stating they had seized the money and it may be eligible to be returned to me by filing a sworn petition IAW FL Statute 812.061 with the judge supporting Brevard County. I attempted to contact the Brevard Clerk of Courts to get information on filing a petition. They did not help at all and would not reply to my emails. At this point I decided I needed an attorney. My daughter recommended Attorney Nicholas A, Vidoni. I met with him and we discussed my case. He agreed to help me. He drafted a petition to present to the court and included words stating the scammers exploited me as a vulnerable adult. This would allow me to collect my attorney’s fees, court costs and such other relief as the court deems just and proper. The judge agreed. At this point Nick had to negotiate with BCSO to have my attorney’s fees, court costs and such other relief as the court deems just and proper awarded to me. Through Nick’s tenacity and knowledge of the law he recovered my money and the costs incurred by him.
My lack of knowledge of the legal system was overcome by Attorney Vidoni and his knowledge of the law. He kept me informed of what was happening from the time I hired him to actually receiving my money back. I will use his services in the future for any legal help I require.

Without hesitation I give my highest recommendation to Bruce Jacobs, my attorney since December 2014.
I had researched and spoken with many other attorneys in my search for help in my foreclosure case. Then I heard Bruce Jacobs speak on his weekly radio show “Debt Warriors” every Wednesday at 5pm on 880 AM. I was VERY highly impressed on his knowledge and absolute mastery of the subject matter regarding foreclosures and the crooked banks. No one better than Jacobs understands how the crooked banks operate in foreclosure cases.
For example, earlier this year 2016 Jacobs won a HUGE landmark Ruling here in Miami from judge Beatrice Butchko that has resonated all over the US (Case No.: 12-388811 CA 01) , HSBC v. Buset. This landmark Ruling sets precedent for foreclosure cases especially here in Florida.
If you are desperate and fear losing your home in foreclosure to the crooked banks, Bruce Jacobs will fight hard for you as he is doing for me and for all of his clients. For example, after a careful review of my case, Jacobs filed a Counterclaim alleging the following main causes of action:
1. Civil Conspiracy to commit Fraud,
2. Violations of the RICO Act,
3. Mail Fraud and Wire Fraud,
4. Perjury,
5. Others...
This Counterclaim was filed March 19, 2015 and as of today (August 1, 2016) the bank (Bank of America) has not yet responded…
Jacobs is like a bulldog, a Jedi warrior that doesn’t give up…The banks know who he is… they fear him.
If you have read this, I know you are hurting right now searching for someone to help you save your home and find justice against the corrupt banks. Bruce Jacobs will give you your best shot. No one has asked me to write this. I am being totally sincere in what I say. God Bless. AURELIO.

I recently had my loan modified on my home and a balance reduction. I have been working with the team at Jacobs Keeley for years now. They have kept me and my family in my home and battled the banks for years. Well we finally won. We received an outstanding modification and balance reduction on my house. I could not be more pleased with the way my case was handled from the attorneys on the case to the team of excellent paralegals in the office. They FOUGHT for my rights. They would not give up and they got the end results my husband and I were looking for. If you want a paper pusher hire another firm. If you was a fighters who are dedicated and passionate about the cause hire this firm.

I have been trying to keep my home for nearly four years. I have paid thousands for legal "expertise" NEEDING representation like a trauma victim needs a surgeon.
I am not an attorney. But I do know how to read . Two weeks ago, I happened to review my court docket. My case had been set for TRIAL. The attorney I had hired and already paid $$$$ monthly was clueless. I was just another case to him.
I was dangerously close to trial without an attorney I had faith in. I interviewed 3 more attorneys. Not impressed. I thought of a different approach.
I personally went to observe foreclosure trials scheduled before a random judge. Random attorneys. Very depressing watching failure in motion with so much at stake for the clients they represented.
I do not claim to have an informed legal basis for my judgement. I do not know the "standard of care" for lawyers. I can recognize glaring lack of preparation, legal knowledge with no evidence of "zealous advocacy" for clients rights.
Then I saw an attorney who actually clearly articulated his clients rights and facts of his defense. His partner was just as sharp. The bank's attorney was no match. These guys WON the case. I stayed longer. He had another case. The bank wanted to postpone the case. Judge said " NO. Trial NOW ". If I could read minds, I would of heard "Bring it on ". They again prevailed. Case dismissed. Two families didn't loose their homes that day. I followed him and his team out of the courthouse.
The lawyer was Bruce Jacobs. His partner Court Keeley. Two days later, I went for the free consultation. I met with the firms FOUR attorneys who ravenously examined my mortgage /documents looking for merits for my defense. They spent FOUR hours with me. Thank you Bruce, Court, Monica and Abby.
Mr. Jacobs and his team took over my case two days before my foreclosure trial. They went ready to go to trial. I could have lost my home that day. I did not.
My case is not over. But this isn't just a case. It is my home, my children's home , my families financial security. I believe Mr Jacob's and his team get it. I am impressed with FOUR LAWYERS . Someone has contacted me almost every day. At night. Over the weekend.
It's personal and they are fighting for my family.
I am beginning to exhale.

In addition , he is antisemitic. He had the audacity to serve me with a stupid fabricated letter on the Jewish high holidays just to disrespect my religion.

They got me the child support I wanted in addition to many more things. They are thorough, knew my case very well, and handled the whole process very professionally! I feel so blessed to have had them on my side throughout this difficult matter. There is nothing easy about divorce alone and it is even more atrocious when small children are involved. Sherri and Andrew were very understanding of my situation and truly empathized with me at a time where I could not pay my bill. They worked out a payment plan with me and helped me keep my heard above water. They have been a blessing to me and my family and I will forever be grateful to them. They are truly attorneys with a heart!

I want to address my gratefulness and appreciation for having met Kevin S. Rabin, Esq., Litigation Director for Three Rivers Legal Services. He provided incredible support and assistance in the matter of the settling a lawsuit about the sale of our principal residence in Suwannee County.
Our case was not a simple one as the closing company failed to do its job (sending mortgagee payment minus 1 days interest) and the house, after being sold, was taken back by a foreclosure by way of the mortgagee (Sherrel McCall). She acted in bad faith for not receiving one days interest – and in turn was able to extort over $90,000 (he learned) from the title closing and insurance companies.
Without TRLS assistance, we (my ex-wife and the author) would have been up the creek without a paddle as the title insurance company was now suing us for reimbursement of the extorted funds based off of a invalid premise that we did not provide a clear title at closing.
With his invaluable guidance and assistance, we were able to settle the matter for a fraction of this amount and are able to breathe in the future knowing that your agreement settled the matter for good.
I would highly recommend TRLS for professional, ethical and incredibly smart advise!

Anthony is THE BEST. I had a case where there was a lot of controversy and drama, and I was scared I would lose my job over it. Anthony helped me out, eased my anxiety and got my case dismissed the very next day after speaking with him. I would recommend this firm to anyone and everyone I care about who may be going through the same thing or similar. Please, if you have any other options, just choose this one and save yourself

Emily represented on a couple occasions, one being a divorce and another being relocation. I truthfully don’t know what I would have done without her guidance and representation. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and helped me get the outcome I wanted. She made things so much easier for me, especially being so young and lost. She was available any time I had questions, and was straightforward with me on what to expect. I’d recommend her over and over again to anyone that needed council. She’s reliable, truth worthy and truly wants the best for her clients.

My experience with the law firm of Winderweedle Haines Ward Woodman P A, has always been nothing short of spectacular. My initial counsel of record was Randy Rush, a brilliant and kind Attorney. Upon his retirement, I was then directed to the good graces and expertise of James Doyle, a very dedicated and detail oriented Attorney whose wisdom respectfully resonates with one far beyond his years. A good listener, honest and a straight shooter. He has an integrity and dedication that continues to subscribe to the level of stellar service that Winderweedle has championed for years. Thanks so much, Winderweedle, etal, and James, for being the best!

I've had a great experience with Winter Spires. I was not able to get reconciliation on my own & called this law office who took my case and I received more than expected. These negotiations take time & you have to be patient and let them do their job. They took into consideration other personal issues I had going on and helped me beyond the scope of my case. Winter is amazing and so are her paralegals that assist. I highly recommend this law firm.

Worse lawyer in Florida. She is only after your money. Terrible communication. After she took my $10,00.00 for land deal my husband was doing and I felt like I needed an attorneys advice on the matter she suggested a divorce and went with it. After our one and only consultation of which she charged me $500.00!!!!!!! For. I never heard from her again. I told her time was of the essence. I needed a cease and desist letter immediately. Never got it or anything else. She is a sad sad case FOR AN attorney. She should not have a law license to steal because that’s what happened. I had to get the FLORIDA Bar Association involved. She has still not responded to me. She wrote a nasty text to my son saying I was cyber stacker her and that I had abused my call privileges because I did call her everyday for months and months and she never returned any of my calls. Her staff, which there were many who answered the phone in her office, said they would leave her a message but no never got a call from her. After she got my money ; I was dirt. I tried every way to get in touch with her to no avail. DO NOT USE THE WOMAN. SHE IS A CROOK AND A THIEF. I signed a contract that said nothing about a non refundable retainer fee. Then that contract was deleted. Months and months of calling , texting, emailing, leaving messages on her door asking for a copy of the contract I finally got a different eight page contract that she or her sister, who works in her office and is very rude, sent me where they had forged my name on. IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.

What a Foreclosure Lawyer Can Do for You
A foreclosure lawyer specializes in helping homeowners navigate the legal complexities of foreclosure, working to protect their rights and potentially save their homes. Foreclosure lawyers assist homeowners facing foreclosure by negotiating with lenders, filing legal defenses, and representing them in court. They also help with loan modifications, short sales, and other alternatives to foreclosure. Whether you’re behind on mortgage payments or already in foreclosure proceedings, a lawyer can help you explore your legal options and work toward a solution.
If you’re at risk of losing your home, a foreclosure lawyer can provide guidance on how to stop or delay the foreclosure process and protect your financial future.
When Should I Hire a Foreclosure Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a foreclosure lawyer in several situations where you are facing financial difficulties with your mortgage. Common reasons to hire a lawyer include:
- Facing foreclosure proceedings: If your lender has initiated foreclosure proceedings, a lawyer can help you file a legal defense and explore options for stopping or delaying the process.
- Loan modification: If you want to modify the terms of your mortgage to make payments more manageable, a lawyer can help you negotiate with your lender and ensure that the modification complies with legal standards.
- Challenging the foreclosure: If you believe your lender has violated foreclosure laws or the terms of your mortgage agreement, a lawyer can help you challenge the foreclosure in court.
- Stopping a foreclosure sale: If your home is about to be sold at a foreclosure auction, a lawyer may be able to file for a temporary restraining order or injunction to halt the sale.
- Short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure: If you cannot afford to keep your home but want to avoid foreclosure, a lawyer can assist with arranging a short sale or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, where you voluntarily transfer ownership of the home to the lender to avoid foreclosure.
- Filing for bankruptcy: If you’re unable to manage your mortgage debt and other financial obligations, a lawyer can advise whether filing for bankruptcy might stop foreclosure and help you restructure your debts.
Hiring a lawyer as soon as possible - especially when foreclosure is imminent - can provide you with more legal options to save your home or limit financial damages.
What Does a Foreclosure Lawyer Do?
A foreclosure lawyer provides a variety of legal services to homeowners facing foreclosure, working to protect their rights and help them avoid losing their homes. Their responsibilities often include:
- Negotiating with lenders: A lawyer can negotiate with your lender to modify your mortgage or create a repayment plan, helping you avoid foreclosure by securing more favorable terms.
- Filing a legal defense: If your lender is improperly foreclosing or has made errors in the foreclosure process, a lawyer can file a legal defense, challenging the foreclosure in court. Defenses may include violations of foreclosure laws, predatory lending practices, or failure to follow the terms of the mortgage.
- Representing you in court: A lawyer can represent you in foreclosure proceedings, whether you are defending against the foreclosure, seeking more time to negotiate with the lender, or filing for bankruptcy.
- Stopping or delaying foreclosure sales: If your home is scheduled for a foreclosure auction, a lawyer can help file a motion to stop or delay the sale, giving you time to explore other options.
- Advising on bankruptcy: A foreclosure lawyer can assess whether filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy would be beneficial, as bankruptcy can temporarily stop foreclosure and give you time to reorganize your finances.
- Arranging short sales or deeds in lieu of foreclosure: A lawyer can help facilitate a short sale (selling the property for less than the mortgage balance) or a deed in lieu of foreclosure (transferring the property to the lender), which may allow you to avoid the foreclosure process.
How Are Foreclosure Lawyers Paid?
Foreclosure lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many foreclosure lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific legal services, such as negotiating a loan modification or filing a bankruptcy petition, some lawyers offer a flat fee. Flat fees can range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the scope of the work.
- Retainer: In more complex foreclosure cases, especially those involving ongoing negotiations with lenders or court appearances, a lawyer may require a retainer. This is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case.
- Contingency fee (rare): In some rare cases, particularly when suing a lender for wrongful foreclosure, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win the case or settle on your behalf.
It’s important to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer upfront, especially if you are facing financial difficulties.
How Much Does a Foreclosure Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a foreclosure lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the amount of time required to resolve the issue. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Foreclosure lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour. For example, a simple case with 10 hours of legal work at $300 per hour would cost $3,000.
- Flat fees: For straightforward services such as filing for bankruptcy or negotiating a loan modification, flat fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the work.
- Retainers: In more complex or ongoing foreclosure cases, a lawyer may require a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the length of the case and the lawyer’s experience.
In addition to legal fees, you may also need to cover additional costs, such as court filing fees or expenses related to property appraisals.
Top Questions to Ask a Foreclosure Lawyer
Before hiring a foreclosure lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the necessary experience and approach to help you. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with foreclosure cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling foreclosure cases similar to yours and has successfully helped homeowners avoid foreclosure or negotiate better terms. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost of their services. -
What are my options for stopping foreclosure?
Ask the lawyer to explain the different legal strategies available for stopping or delaying foreclosure, such as loan modifications, filing a legal defense, or bankruptcy. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the chances of successfully avoiding or delaying foreclosure. -
How long will the process take?
Foreclosure cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take and what factors might affect the timeline. -
Will I need to go to court?
Ask whether your case is likely to settle out of court or if a trial may be necessary. If a trial is possible, ask what steps the lawyer will take to prepare. -
What steps can I take to protect my home?
Ask the lawyer for advice on steps you can take to protect your home, such as making partial payments, negotiating with your lender, or exploring foreclosure alternatives.
How to Check the Credibility of a Foreclosure Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable foreclosure lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for foreclosure experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in foreclosure law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on foreclosure matters.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Look for lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) or who have specialized certifications in real estate or foreclosure law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a foreclosure lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Mortgage documents: Bring a copy of your mortgage agreement, payment history, and any correspondence you’ve received from your lender, including foreclosure notices or demand letters.
- Financial information: Provide information about your income, expenses, and debts, as this will help the lawyer assess your financial situation and determine the best legal strategy for your case.
- Previous communications with your lender: If you’ve already tried to negotiate with your lender, bring any emails, letters, or records of phone calls that document these communications.
- Court documents (if applicable): If foreclosure proceedings have already begun, bring any court documents related to the case.
- Questions about your legal options: Prepare a list of questions about the foreclosure process, your options for avoiding foreclosure, and how the lawyer plans to help you.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for protecting your home from foreclosure.
