I recently hired Nancy for my bankruptcy filing. She is very professional and helped guide me throughout the process. Her guidance has significantly eased the stress and uncertainty surrounding the bankruptcy process. No one wants to file for bankruptcy and the last thing you want is to feel like you are being judged which never happened with Nancy. Highly recommend!!!

We found Nancy thru an online search for a bankruptcy lawyer in Iowa when the economy forced my job to reduce hours and do every other week on unemployment. We were struggling then to make ends meet and then my wife also lost her job due to a company re structuring. When that happened there was no possible way to keep Hanging on or to make ends meet. Even tho we know we frustrated Nancy with our questions and understanding of the process she patiently answered our questions and repeated things to us that we missed seeing. It was due to her diligence and her argument for us to have the ch7 that ensured we got it and received some help and much needed relief and we will be forever grateful. You can not go wrong In hiring her as your lawyer. She has extensive knowledge and many years of experience and if it is possible For her to help you she will. She is reasonably priced for her time and expertise and In fact is cheaper than many less experienced attorneys.

Ashley was great at handling my small claims cases! She brought to my attention things that I knew were concerning, but I didn't know my personal legal rights. In the beginning follow-up was great. By the end of my cases it was like pulling teeth to get any feedback. I respect the fact that she has other clients, but the way I often got treated for asking questions is not acceptable. She is a great attorney; the stress that came along with it though, made me know it was a blessing to have my cases over with.

Ashley was very helpful to me when I had filed for Bankruptcy. Plus, she even brought it to my attention how a certain finance company was treating my unlawfully. We were able to take them to court and even managed to get some profit from them. I'd say she's very educated, friendly, understanding, and very helpful. I would definitely recommend Ashley for an attorney.

Let me start by saying I do not believe in writing reviews if I am paying for a service I expect the best they have to offer, well I finally met an exception to that rule and his name is Shawn Fitzgerald. As any parent we send our children off to college hoping for the best and 4 years of bliss. Well then reality hit, my daughter got into what should have been a run of the mill mistake with a couple of fines and a good scolding turned into a major incident. By the time we got involved the police where looking for her on campus. I spoke to shawn on a Friday morning he said give him a couple of days to get more information and plan on being in Iowa on Monday to work things out. We arrived on Monday ( over 3.5 hours away) in a attempt to resolve the problem. At this point the police attempted to arrest her on other charges, but Shawn was ahead of them already speaking to a Judge to have her come over to the courthouse to go before him. The state’s attorney attempted to charge her with 2 substantial charges relating to the original fines. Shawn was able to reach a settlement that was in my daughters best interest and not affecting her future career path. Shawn was amazing during the whole process saving me and my daughter multiple court appearances, he was available for questions regarding the case and kept us updated every step of the way. I felt Shawn had my daughters best interest in mind while attempting to resolve the matter. I highly recommend Shawn for any legal matters if you need a lawyer.

I will recommend these ladies and this law firm to any and everyone who is going through a divorce and custody battle, even one that crosses state lines. I'd give them10 stars if I could. I'm crying from happiness as my divorce was finalized today after 8 looooong years. They are wonderful!

This guy is the one you want fighting for whatever you need legal help with. Odd review, but honest, he was the opposing counsel in a child custody case I was involved in over 20 years ago. Since that case ended, I sought him out for several other needs. Seriously, this guy will/ does go above and beyond for his clients. Couldn't recommend any better lawyer.

I’m hoping to reach Melody, I work right across from her old office and she left in may- from what I remember she said she was moving into another office but I don’t remember if she specified where. I’ve had a few of her clients come in and ask where she’s at now, I’ve had to hold their numbers for when I do. I guess I thought a new address or update would be left. If you can reach out to our office Melody, I’d be happy to leave a note on your door so your clients can know where to find you- your neighbors :)

Ms. Butz does a disservice to her profession. My husband and I met with her in February to rewrite our wills. After REPEATED attempts to reach her via emails, voice messages, leaving messages taped to the door at her "office" (loosely used term), all of which went unanswered. We FINALLY got our original wills returned to us in late JUNE, with absolutely no work done on them. So disheartening and unprofessional.

Been a homeless Vet for the past 5 years. Finally in the final steps of buying a home. (This has to come off for approval) I save up all of my money for a whole year to pay off a collection. I send the money and almost 2 months later I call Navy Federal and still they haven't sent the payment over to them. Effectively making me homeless again. Thanks for the sense of urgency I was very polite and I noticed and something was off the whole time.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
