My experience working with Nager Law Group was amazing. I had never filed for bankruptcy before and did not know what to expect. They walked me through everything and answered all of my questions (even the ones where the answer seemed obvious). Definitely recommend.

20 May, 2020 by Refael

This is a great Law Firm. I came to get consultation regarding my unique case. The attorneys are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are very honest and keep you informed on what is going on and what to expect. They are always able to answer your questions even after the consultation meeting.

Alon went above and beyond. He made a diffucult process less stressful. Because of him, I was able to get in and out of bankruptcy quickly and move on with my life.

Mr. Christman, explained everything in simple terms about the whole process with both chapters of 7 and 13 bankruptcy. Any time we called with questions either Mr. Christman or someone from his staff called us back in a quick and timely manner. I would highly recommend Mr. Christman.

20 Jul, 2021 by Franced

With all my many questions Mr. Christman was always both available and took time to make sure I understood. The whole process which I thought would be complicated went very smooth. I especially want to thank Jane who was extremely kind helpful and patient. Because I was so impressed I referred my sister !!

Mr. Christman and his staff helped me get my finances back on track! They were always accessible to answer any questions I had and very attentive during the entire bankruptcy process. I have since recommended others to use his services. If you're looking for solutions to your debt, give Mr. Christman a call!

The title says it all. If you are clueless to the fine details of the law like we were then you need someone to break it down so you can understand. Terry is amazing at that and we appreciated it so much. He always was working hard for us. Always kind and caring. To me that is most important.

Mr. Goddard helped me solve my issues professionally, promptly and was non-judgmental. A pleasure to work with.

Terry did a great job shepherding a very challenging case to a successful conclusion. He was able to be flexible with my needs and coordinate and communicate with all parties involved. I would recommend him highly.

If you have the opportunity to work with Wayne Clark, take it. Please take the time to read this review. My wife and I were recently forced into bankruptcy and we were also wrongfully accused of committing a fraud in a business deal that led to our bankruptcy. The plaintiffs sued knowing that we did not have the financial resources to defend ourselves. Their reason for such an action is irrelevant here. I was forced to try and defend us without a lawyer. Our case was complicated; I went weekly to the free legal clinics at the law library in Annapolis and attempted to educate myself in the subtleties of the legal systems. The task was daunting. During that time I talked many attorneys to get help, but we could not afford their services. I met Wayne at the free legal clinic at the bankruptcy court in Baltimore. He gave me a lot of helpful advice and went back to perusing our case. A few months later I again visited the legal clinic and fortunately for me; I once again met Wayne. I asked if he could guide me in preparing my case. I wrote a few motions and I asked Wayne to review them. He not only did he review my work; he assumed control of writing the motions I was seeking. He interviewed me and reviewed our documentation at length and he believed in me and our case. He knew that the plaintiffs did not have a creditable case; as he instructed me proving it is a different matter. He took on this case with an energy and commitment that astounded me. Although he had other cases, he still made me feel as if our case was always at the top of his mind. He seemed to work day and night, he would call me at night, on weekends and during holidays. He pushed me hard to produce the documents that he knew we would need for the case. As anyone can imagine this case was a very emotional and stressful ride for both my wife and I. Wayne was very good at taking the emotional anger out of the discussion and more importantly he was never afraid to tell me how it was and to take me task. When we finally got to court, it was obvious that the plaintiff's case was without merit and they agreed to settle out of court by dropping the case. Without Wayne's help, I would have lost the case even though the plaintiff's case was without merit. If you have the chance to work with Wayne, take comfort in knowing that you dealing with someone who will give you honesty, integrity and commitment. There are not enough words to describe our gratitude for having Wayne assist my wife and I with our case. If you have the chance to work with Wayne, Take it!!!

Hello I just want to say I called the Civil hotline for free attorney advice. Mr. Wayne Clark picked up and after I explained my situation as far as all of the loan modifications that I have been doing with my bank and their denials. I also explained to him that in a panic state one night, I hired an attorney off a commerical and paid him almost $3,000 to help with a loan modification that was denied. Not knowing that the attorney had possibly done something wrong Mr Clark advised me what I needed to do to get my money back from that attorney. Mr. Clark also advised me in approx 1 hour what I was fearing all along. See I had been fighting to save my home for almost 2 years, thinking I could. He asked me questions and evaluated my salary the home loan as well as the value of my home. In doing that he gave me an assessment of why the bank probably kept dening my loan modification and he made me realize that unless my income increased substantially like ASAP that my chances of saving the home was not great, that was the honesty do I need it. All I did the past two years was kept fighting and the amount of my past due balance increasing, and the bank was letting it happen. The bank has given me unrealistic expectations based on my salary and the likelihood that I would be able to catch up on the past due balance. For the first time in 2 years I was hit with the best reality check that I needed. I went to my church and prayed with my pastor and then contacted a realtor who basically advise me of the same thing. I did exactly what Mr. Clark told me to do and contacted the attorney, told him to give me my money back within one week and if he did not the steps that I was going to take in getting the money back. That attorney panicked to my surprise and did not fight me. I had my money within 4 days honestly, I could not believe it, I thought that money was lost and gone and thrown down the drain. I'm now prepared to move forward and start again. I'm so thankful to Attorney Clark because basically my funds were gone and he helped me get my money back free of charge with his advice. I truly feel he was a God sent and I would refer him to anyone anytime and any day. Thanks again Attorney Clark for all your help, bless you.

My husband and I were faced with bankruptcy due to a failed business deal. We were being sued by my husband's partners and had NO WHERE to turn. Our original attorney had been disbarred and we didn't have any more money to hire someone else. We met Wayne through the legal services offered in Baltimore and he GRACIOUSLY agreed to represent us!!!!! He worked diligently from September through to March when we had our trial. He was able to negotiate a settlement of our case. Wayne is compassionate, detailed and very hardworking. He was able to explain options in language that we could understand. We were SAVED by Wayne and his expertise

Mr. Nolan has advised and represented me on several complicated matters including a DWI, a will, and a living will. He guided me through the choppy waters of business ownership. He has never been a clock watcher or a bean counter. He has been generous with his advice and always given me the feeling that we are a team and that my challenges are "our" challenges.

If your are experiencing problems with debt or facing a difficult time in your life you must contact Mr. Gilman immediately. Our house is worth far less than the amount we owe on it and we must relocate. He listened intently to all of my complicated issues, completely understood them, explained ALL of my options, and gave sound advice on the best way to tackle my problems. After my initial consultation with Mr. Gilman I was able to sleep peacefully for the first time in a long time.

03 Dec, 2014 by Cheryl

Mr. Gilman has been my attorney since 2009. He has been very honest and ethical in his dealings with me when filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy so that I could begin to rebuild my finances after a major job loss. He was able to secure a loan modification with my mortgage company when after repeated efforts I had been unable to. Through my subsequent financial upheavals he has continued to work with me to assess my situation and to determine reasonable options to help me regain my financial footing. He has become an invaluable resource for me, and I continue to rely on him for accurate information, ethical treatment, and expert legal representation.

Rich is straightforward, polite and instantly put me at ease in a very uncomfortable situation. He is well respected, came highly recommended and I absolutely trust that he will guide me through this situation and I will come out the other side. I would easily recommend Rich to anyone.

Ron Schwartz is a lawyer's lawyer. He doesn't have fancy offices or expensive prices just an amazing knowledge of the law. I am a lawyer and when I don't know to whom I should refer a client, Ron is the most frequent choice because he only takes cases he is equipped to handle and charges fair prices.

07 Mar, 2017 by Tony

Our Son had two Title IX Complaints filed against him with the University of Maryland from another Student. As a Family we disagreed with the Complaint. We hired Ron and he assisted our family and represented us in the proceedings against him by the UMD Conduct Offices. The Charges filed were of a serious nature and could have lead to an expulsion from the College and would negatively effect his academic and professional career for his future. Ron planned and prepared a defense for us, prepared and filed several documents, and represented our Son in each of the investigations and hearings. His knowledge and additional interpretation of the Student Code of Conduct assisted us in having all of the charges dropped and it was determined there were no violations. We had felt our Son was treated unfairly in the investigation. Ron's diligence and pursuit of this matter along with his interpretation of the Student Conduct Rules resulted in a favorable outcome on our behalf. I would recommend Ron for any Legal Matters involved with the University of Maryland and other Legal issues needed to be resolved. His Expertise and Experience in Legal Matters provides an edge. My Family is forever grateful for his Services.

Mr.Schwartz is truly a great lawyer who knows his way around the system. If you run into legal trouble give him a call he has got your back.

I can't but recommend Anthony Depastina to anyone who's got a protective order case, child custody or even divorce at that! He is a good listener and will relate with you as though you are his brother/sister. Give you advice and options that will benefit you. I was almost sure to get a Act of violence on my record but with God and Anthony, that didn't happen. I couldn't be happier with the outcome in court today....Thanks Tony.

Mr. Depastina help me out so much! I couldn't be happier... I went through a hardship several years ago and was behind on my mortgage thousands and thousands of dollars I reached out for help from the bank and other lawyers and was turned down from the bank and about 3 different lawyers saying there was nothing that could be done to help me...I thought I was never going to get out of this nightmare. After 3 years of being depressed and not knowing weather I was going to keep the house I was referred to talk to Anthony. He gave me a lot of guidance and was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to handle the situation. The long short of it I was approved for the modification program and all the late fees were waved and the principle balance was reduced I saved about $150,000 dollars and my mortgage went from $1800 a month to $1048. I cant thank Anthony Depastina enough I couldn't have done it without him. If anyone is in a similar situation or knows anyone that is please call Anthony you will not be disappointed!!!

I am very happy with Mr. Tony. He helped me with a very difficult divorce case where I thought I would lose everything. But he was very aggressive with my husbands lawyer and we won the case. I found him to be very understanding, he went out of his way, asked a lot of questions and did a lot of research. He also has a wonderful personality. I will use him again.

She is amazing!!! The opposing attorney attempted to deliberately miss the case deposition date then tried to alter an agreement entered under oath. Ms Chandler went to the court house, listened to the audio recording of the court proceedings, stood her ground on my behalf and held the opposing party to our agreement.

11 May, 2016 by Albert

Mrs. Chandler, is an excellent attorney in many areas especially family law. She's been a great counselor in handling our current/past family matters inside and outside of court. Especially, since we live remotely she's been very accommodating to our family needs. I recommend her often and they've been satisfied as well. I only wish I would have found her services sooner! She's the best. ALMJR.

She's passionate about her profession, which presents in how she shows up for clients-prepared and ready! We've used her for 2 custody/child support matters and are always satisfied with how they have been handled. I know you don't ALWAYS get what you pay for, but with Mikoy Legal, you will.

Mr. Doran got our charity out of a serious financial mess. We had a tenant, in a rent assistance property, who refused to pay rent for nearly 2 years, and sued us when we tried to collect. As a result of his excellent assistance we were able to get the tenant out of the property and have the tenant's suit dismissed. Good job all around.

Coming out of graduate school, I unfortunately realized a bit too late I was dating a selfish, dishonest, delusional individual (monster, really). Following some drunken abusive scene on his birthday, I was forced to move out all of his things into a house we were supposed to be living in (this was with an injured hand, and my ex had my car keys, which were only returned after my car was towed). After spending the whole day moving him in on my one day off, I was served an ex parte via a protective order due to "reckless endangerment" (throwing half a glass of water on someone who almost caused a car accident and other abusive behavior from him). He made accusations of assault and abuse while I was not even present to do so. Even though I was hysterical and probably incoherent at the time of my call, Marc took my case. While his counsel (House of Ruth, mind you) refused to settle, Marc thankfully let him (and his counsel) have it in court. He did not let him get away with any of his dishonesty, tampered evidence, and other inconsistencies in his testimony. His partner, Michael, helped me with the "criminal case" and the appeal of the dismissed court case (which was withdrawn at the time of the hearing). I can only thank Marc for successfully scaring this psycho off from showing up to the last two hearings, and I am so thankful everything was dismissed--

07 May, 2015 by Howard

If you have a problem with aggressive representation look elsewhere. Marc represented me in reference to a company that had a history of never losing an unemployment compensation case. When Marc was finished with the company representative,I almost felt sorry for him. He subscribes to the Vince Lombardi saying that winning isn't everything,it's the only thing. Even with his success,he keeps his fees affordable. He seems to have a passion for protecting the rights of the little guy.

My wife and I found a property that was perfect for the daycare center we wanted to open. It already had a playground and some other amenities but the owners were unable to make the business work. After entering a lease to own agreement, the owners tried to force us out realizing the profit in a now thriving business. Mr. Messenger took our case, and immediately performed a phone call to the bullying attorneys I will never forget! We've been in business for 6 years now and we've owned the property for four. Thank God for you Mr. Messenger.

He is so warm, personable, professional, knowledgeable, caring, trustworthy, sincere and honest. He laid out my options and we discussed and pros and cons of each possibility. Joe's commitment to excellence -- a job well done -- strong work ethic, is reviled by none. Joe (Selba) is my "goto" person for all matters legal. I feel that I not only have an Attorney for life, but a friend for life. I want to be very clear -- this is NOT a paid endorsement. This is first person, honest, from the heart!

We've unfortunately been involved in 3 different lawsuits and had 3 different lawyers. Chris is BY FAR our favorite. Lawsuits inherently suck your money dry and it's hard to feel good about a lawsuit or your lawyer given whatever situation you are dealing with. Chris is incredibly hardworking and thorough. When we first contacted him, we needed a lawsuit filed very quickly as we were approaching an important date that would change the facts on the ground. Chris worked tirelessly to pull together our initial filing to protect our rights and reached out to relevant stakeholders for affidavits, making himself available for several last minute signatures. He also specifically took action to file the case or respond in certain ways given how Covid has changed the way that the courts are functioning in DC (e.g., e-filing vs. going to the court, etc.). Our case was factually and legally complex and he worked for several months to negotiate with the opposing counsel and was extremely communicative with us throughout the process. Going to trial would have been costly and his ability to work with opposing counsel to come to an agreed upon resolution saved us a lot of money, and he was even able to negotiate some of the resolution costs be placed upon the defense, which saved us even more money (and energy!). Lastly, his approach and his demeanor towards us was respectful and thoughtful and made us feel like we were in good hands through the whole process. We would enthusiastically recommend him to others.

Based on published reviews for Sari Kurland, I hired her for a help and paid $5,000.00 retainer in February 2024. I request a few times appointment, and she refused to meet with me. As of today no word from her, no bill and no refund. We are all stun by her dishonesty.

My mother accumulated a lot of credit card debt which I discovered upon helping her with finances and her health following a stroke. Due to her stroke, she was unaware of the gravity of this situation. Paying off her debts were increasingly becoming a huge burden to her financially as she also needed to be cared for at least 75% of the day. Upon researching and contacting local law firms handling bankruptcy cases, we discovered the Kurland Law Group. An initial contact from their office was quickly followed by an initial phone conference with one of their attorneys, to determine the type of bankruptcy my mother would qualify for. Following the phone conference, emails were sent to inform my mother and I the procedure, the contract, and paperwork requirements. While the process seemed to take a long time, as long as we provided all the information required, the Kurland Law Group was quick to do their end of the process. There was always good and clear communication. They made the bankruptcy process seamless. Attorney Hope and her assistant thoroughly briefed my mother prior to the meeting with the creditors. Because of the Kurland Law Group’s help, my mother now feels more responsible with her finances, thinking more meaningfully before spending. We highly recommend the Kurland Law Group’s services. They are a valuable asset to our community, for those who have a similar problem.

They were great from Start to finish. They sent me forms and assisted me along with way promptly when I had questions. On the day of meeting with the creditors, I couldn't get Zoom or the phone number to work. Because Hope was in the meeting as well, she got both myself and the Creditor on speaker phone to complete the process. I would recommend anybody to use this firm if you need to file with bankruptcy. Thanks, Tom L.

I had the privilege of working with Shelby Whale as my custody lawyer and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my case. From the moment I met Shelby Whale, I knew I was in capable and compassionate hands. They demonstrated an incredible level of expertise, professionalism, and dedication throughout the entire process. Shelby Whale took the time to listen to my concerns, understand the unique aspects of my case, and provided clear and honest advice every step of the way. Their unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my child was truly remarkable. Not only did Shelby Whale possess exceptional legal knowledge and expertise, but they also displayed genuine care and empathy for my situation. Their communication was outstanding, keeping me informed about every development, promptly responding to my questions, and guiding me through the complex legal procedures with ease. Thanks to their diligent efforts, I achieved a favorable outcome in my custody case. If you are in need of a custody lawyer who is not only highly skilled and experienced but also compassionate and dedicated to fighting for your child's best interests, I wholeheartedly recommend Shelby Whale. They are an exceptional attorney who will go above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for you and your family.

When my workplace closed on March 17th due to the COVID-19, we had to telework by going on Zoom. We were teleworking everyday until, two weeks ago, our director sent us on furlough. A couple days later after my director received the PPP grant, they never gave us a clear explanation that all employees had to be back on the payroll. One of the roles for a good director is strong communication skills. In fact the director never told us the consequences of continuing on unemployment once they had received the loan. This week I spoke to Mrs. Valle to get advice on whether I should continue receiving unemployment or resume on Zoom. She saved me from getting into trouble with unemployment after she gave me legal advice! Mrs. Valle is efficient and gets the job done promptly! I highly recommend her to my friends and family!

Diana Valle was invaluable in assisting me obtain vacation pay that my former employer refused to pay me. All she had to do was send a letter and I received a payment immediately of a suitable settlement. Thanks to Ms. Valle's knowledge I was able to avoid the courts and further decrease the amount of stress my former employer was causing me. Ms. Valle is the type of lawyer that helps balance the scales of justice for sure!! I was lucky to receive her assistance and dedication to my case!

Tom and his team very methodically and patiently walked me through this very difficult process. They kept me sane! When push came to shove at the very end he went above and beyond to help me out and get us to closing.

Mr. Sulin gave good advice on how to move forward in our case; he provided his cell number for contact when questions arose; overall, he is personable and related well with us and provided informed advice for our situation.

Tom knows the ins and outs of the often shady practices of these mortgage companies and foreclosure lawyers. He made me feel extremely comfortable and confident that we would be able to get my house back. And we did. If I hadn't found Tom and retained him, I am positive that the outcome would have been terrible. You cannot fight these corrupt systems alone. It is worth every penny to hire someone who knows how to beat them at their own game. I wholeheartedly recommend Tom. He is capable, responsive, down to Earth and understands where you are coming from.

We asked Shulman Rogers to set up an LLC for us. We got a pre-estimate, it was reasonable at $2000, so we paid the $2k retainer and contracted with them to do the work. During a meeting, we asked a question about placing a piece of property we owned in Washington, DC as a Sole Proprietorship into the LLC. Our Shulman attorney team researched it, then told us "Don't do it, it will cost you so much more money at approximately $7,500." We took their advice and left the property out of the LLC. Imagine our surprise when we received the final bill from Shulman and it was several thousand dollars more than the "it will cost you so much more path" we didn't take! It totaled almost $10,000. Shulman had even added several hours for a Senior Partner at an outrageous rate ($724/hour), who had not worked on our case. We were able to get those hours removed, but all in all it was a losing venture for us. This reminded us of the old adage "a wolf in sheep's clothing." We will NEVER DO BUSINESS with this firm again and we recommend you go elsewhere when you need an attorney.

Erin is reliable, honest, and operates with integrity. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for representation with commercial and real estate issues. She helped me personally with reviewing and making necessary amendments to contracts. She always takes the time to answer any questions and provides me with all the options available. When I ran into some issues with clients not paying out of state, she was also quickly able to recommend the right people to aid me with my problems. I’m delighted to have been referred to Erin August. Erin has a wealth of knowledge and is the best!

23 Jul, 2024 by Margarita dilone

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Erin August for several property settlements through Shulman Rogers, and she has consistently exceeded our expectations. Erin’s professionalism and meticulous attention to detail have made each transaction smooth and stress-free. One of the standout aspects of working with Erin is her willingness to come to us for the settlements, saving us the hassle of driving to her office. This level of convenience and customer service is truly appreciated and sets her apart from others in the field. If you’re looking for a real estate attorney who is reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her clients, look no further than Erin August. We highly recommend her and Shulman Rogers for any real estate needs!

This attorney has won my confidence! I had been procrastinating on the task of completing my will. So I signed up with Legal Resources, a benefit offered by my employer. When I finally got around to the task, I found Ms. Davis and her team to be knowledgeable, efficient and patient. they made the information understandable and the overall process very easy, despite the COVID-19 crisis. Ms. Davis explained the pros and cons of my options, she answered all my questions and made recommendations based on my unique circumstances. I am very satisfied with the final outcome, and impressed with her practice in general. Ms. Davis’ assistant, Dax, is very efficient and processed all of the information in a timely manner. I did not expect such VIP level service. I would definitely recommend attorney Erica Davis for anyone who needs a will. I feel privileged to have found her, and to be counted among her clients.

19 Jan, 2022 by Omolara

This was a very good service. Erica was very professional and clearly explained the process as well as the technical details that come with estate planning. I had anticipated a long and complicated process. However, she was welcoming and pleasant and made it easy to understand, such that the experience was nowhere near as daunting as I had expected. We truly appreciate Erica's services. Thank you!!!

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.

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.
