Ms Tamburrino is represented me in a personally painful bankruptcy filing. Upon our first meeting, she explained the process with professionalism and compassion. She has consistently responded quickly to my questions and concerns and has followed up with unanticipated issues that have arisen. She has made a dreadful situation less painful and continues to keep me informed.
If you are thinking about the option of bankruptcy, I do recommend that you consider speaking with Stacy. It took me many, many months - and many sleepless nights - before I took the first step. Looking back, the process was less painful because of solid representation. Looking forward, things become under control and the rebuilding begins!

David is a very knowledgeable and excellent attorney. He paid attention to every detail of our transaction. I hired David in 2017 in order to draft the sales agreement and closing documents for the sale of my business to one of my former employees. Together, we came up with a plan on how the deal should be structured in order to best protect my interests. He came up with many great ideas that I never would have foreseen. He took the time to listen and understand the parties involved. Not only did David oversee the initial transaction, but when the buyer defaulted, he helped me successfully navigate the situation with a 100% favorable outcome where both myself and the buyer walked away satisfied. David is detail oriented, knows the law, and is a caring and all around good guy in a sometimes challenging field. Well done David! I will always highly recommend him.

A former employee illegally charged a large sum of money to my personal credit card. Two different attorneys took 18 months trying to correct this situation. Mr. Blansky was recommended to me so I decided to take a chance with him. All I can say is, "Wow, what a difference". We had a relatively brief conversation of the background of the case and he went right to work. Within a comparatively short time Blansky not only won the case but got me some money back. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best legal representation out there.

Lee Greene's is the most experienced and patient litigation attorney that I have met. Patience is a rare quality found in a litigation attorney. However he carefully listened to all of our facts, analyzed the dispute from all angles and successfully dismissed our dispute. Litigation is a very stressful event and his knowledge and experience gave us the confidence during a difficult time. On top of his extensive experience in litigation, his personality and professionalism makes him a great attorney. I would highly recommend Mr. Greene for his services.

Mr. Greene is the most experienced and knowledgeable trial Lawyer I have ever had the opportunity to retain for legal services. He is a Trial Lawyer, Litigator and an A+ negotiator. Lee, as he humorously reminds one to call him is friendly, humorous, and learned. I call him "a trial lawyer's human Library and legal adviser to his peers." The reason is I had an occasion that an Attorney that worked for me relied on Lee's legal counsel and successfully got a foreclosure judgment for real property sale denied in Queens Supreme Court. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Greene's services to anyone seeking the assistance of a REAL Attorney at Law because he is an expert Litigator and qualified in his own right.

Adam Friedman is a fantastic lawyer. Although busy, he made himself available immediately for my emergency case. He was available at all hours for quick questions and decisions. He is thorough, quick thinking and covers every base. He is so ethical, and advised me with my best interests first. Adam tried and succeeded at saving me a lot of money.

Adam was always professional, thorough, and extremely easy to communicate with. He made an already stressful situation - negotiating and closing on a condo in NY - manageable and simpler. He helped manage several parties and all of the things needed - the bank, the seller, insurance, etc. His attention to detail and knowledge was reassuring, and everything with my closing went without a hitch. I would highly recommend working with Adam, and may do so again in the future for any other real estate ventures.

Met Mr. Borofsky in tenant/landlord during my darkest hours and he was able to negotiate a fair settlement with my landlord. It was his kind and compassionate demeanor that prevented my family from going on the streets. It was a few years later I called for my divorce proceedings, while my last attonery with their fancy office and many awards on the walls and charging me outrageous fees walked out on me. Steven stepped in and got more done in a month then the other attorney in two years! Steven, renewed my faith in the system and guided me through such a difficult time. I should of used him years ago and saved myself thousands! Now my friends are asking me who is my lawyer and I say, Steven Jay Borofsky! Not just a divorce attorney! I tell my friends all the time, if you need a honest and reasonable priced attorney, call Mr. Borofsky and feel confident your getting the best legal advice!

Mr. Borofsky is an excellent and a very professional lawyer. He recently did a will for me and a health care proxy. He always returns your calls and wants to make sure that you are happy with what he has done for you. Mr. Borofsky "aims to please"! He is currently working on another case for me. I will continue to hire Mr. Borofsky for any other work I may have in the future. I highly recommend him, he is fantastic and "most of all honest". ( dr)

Michelle Gershfeld saved my life! I never thought I would dig out of the whole I dug out for myself. I felt like a hamster on a never ending wheel of debt. I was living a financial nightmare with no end in sight. A friend recommended that I contact Michelle as she had rescued my friend from the same situation. It was the best call I ever made. She immediately put me at ease with her warmth and professionalism. She put together a plan of action and knew I was in good hands. She turned my life around and I am happy to say that I am now debt free and able to sleep at night! I highly recommend MichelleGershfeld.

I couldn't be anymore happier with the outcome. THANK YOU MICHELLE!

I deal with a lot of attorneys (of every description)...essentially on a daily basis. So I have seen pretty much "all that there is". I was referred to Wendy by my Chapter 11 attorney when I found myself in a crisis situation (and trust me, crisis is not new to me, but this situation had me over the top= foreclosure of my mothers home). At my first meeting with Wendy, I immediately felt like I was in competent and comforting hands. And trust me, I am a hard judge of character. Wendy immediately developed a comprehensive plan, kept in communication frequently and even responded to my midnight "panic" episodes, with solid reassurance. Any questions that we had regarding "threats" from the opposition, Wendy handled diligently and in a professional fashion. I cannot express how reassuring this is when facing foreclosure. She is extremely well versed in her area of expertise= so there wasn't any kind of surprise that she hasn't seen before (and I have been in that spot with attorney's the past). Wendy has been an absolute breath of fresh air at a time I really needed it most. I refer to to everyone with confidence.

I first contacted Wendy for a consultation and several minutes into our conversation, I knew that she was the right attorney for me. Besides being experienced and very knowledgeable, she has an extremely reassuring and comforting manner. Wendy is honest and has an unbiased and direct approach to the legal process which is then followed by how she can help with the best and most effective strategies to manage specific issues. I never felt pushed into making any decisions, and my questions and concerns were always met with understanding, reassurance and most importantly...practical solutions. Wendy is very approachable and always responsive, making herself available to speak with me - both before and after I hired her. These qualities in an attorney are extremely valuable rare to find. Wendy's expertise and professionalism was instrumental in helping me to reach a successful outcome and would highly recommend her services.

After 2 years of trying to do my own loan modification the bank finally sent me foreclosure notices. I retained Roselina and couldn't be happier with my decision. She constantly kept me updated throughout the process, whether it was a phone call or email she always kept in touch and I never felt in the dark. Her staff where always very helpful and attentive. I wanted to do this review because after 2 years of fighting with the bank I finally received a modification and overcame the embarrassment of foreclosure.

When I started looking for an attorney to represent me in my foreclosure defense I was very nervous, This was my first time in any kind of trouble, I started calling around spoke to 5 different attorneys, I didn't feel comfortable I felt rushed off, But when I spoke to Ms. Serrano she answered all my questions made me feel safe, and I even learned things about foreclosure I wasn't aware of I will recommend her to anyone that is facing these kind of issues.

David Wade is an excellent attorney. He is in contact with you as much as you want/need. Mr. Wade walked me through every step of the process making it easier to get through it and understand what was happening. He is punctual and at the end of the day, he saved my life. Had I went with a public attorney for my DWI case I more than likely would have lost all hope for my future career plans. If you do make a bad choice, fix it by making the right one. That choice is to hire Mr. David Wade!

Dan Kraushaar is our go to attorney for all our NY real estate transactions. He represented us when we purchased our first home in Orange County. He kept in constant contact with us throughout the process. The closing day went smoothly and we felt very prepared for our closing day. After we bought our house he immediately suggested that we do wills especially since we had a child. We took his advice and did wills, powers of attorney and health care proxies. Would use him again and highly recommend him to anyone for their real estate needs.

I met Edward several years ago when I was looking for an attorney to handle some Landlord tenant disputes/evictions. As it turned out he was very well connected with the City of Buffalo and so he began working on some Housing court cases for me as well. Always got the results I was seeking and since then I have used Mr Betz for everything from a speeding tickets to personal injury defenses and everything in between. If he ever wasn't suitable for the particular need I had he set me up with someone in his firm or elsewhere that was. I really don't need to call anyone else when it comes to needing an attorney. Very grateful

Ed and his firm assisted me in purchasing a new property from an online foreclosure website. The site was very confusing, and I personally struggled to get information on the process. Ed helped me every step of the way and gave me the confidence to follow through with the deal, that I otherwise may have had to back out of. The firm handling the foreclosure actually did not have the proper documentation to close, Ed and his team stepped in and got the deal done.

Myself and husband retained Laura Ellis as our Real Estate Attorney to assist us with purchasing our second home. She came highly recommended by my sister. It was a pleasure working with Laura throughout our entire home purchasing experience. She first assisted us with getting out from a contract with our first Realtor, then Laura recommended an amazing agent who helped us found our new home. Laura is not only professional, knowledgeable, and a highly respected attorney but she’s also dedicated to each and every individual one of clients that’s the feeling we personally got from Laura! Purchasing a home during a pandemic had some challenges but Laura made sure she took the time to go over with us the documents either through emails with full explanation or phones call. Her response time to any concerns or issues was done promptly.
She always made sure that our best interest was a priority, and that the decisions she made would benefit our family. I would highly recommend Laura Ellis to anyone who wants an Real Estate Attorney that’s highly qualified!

I was in a divorce in which I remained in a state of limbo for many years , due to bad advice and financial woes . I let Laura at a Network Group and explained my situation and decided to seek her counsel . Laura was not only 110% truthful w me but also is very knowledgeable as to the law in foreclosure. After several attempts to deal w my house w the mortgage bank on my own w no satisfaction , Laura stepped in and not only avoided the foreclosure , she actually was able to conclude a Short Sale in record time . At no point was I under any pressure or stress and I was fully informed and was able to understand what she was doing . As a result I closed on the sale in less than 5 Months , the whole process start to finish , and regain back my credit rating in good standing.. This world needs more attorneys like Laura who care and understand their clients. I highly recommend her services to everyone !

This was our first time hiring a lawyer, so we had lots of questions, all of which Michelle was very patient and kind enough to address each and every one. Michelle and her team helped us through a very emotional and challenging eviction case (we as the landlords), and at each step we felt heard and well-guided. We eventually won the case, and we realize there is no way we could have done it without Michelle’s help. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal advice who might be a little intimidated by the whole thing, Michelle was so kind and patient and clearly communicated difficult legal speech in regular terms. So grateful!

I was in need of a litigation attorney after receiving a complaint filed by a former employer. I was extremely concerned about the situation due to the truth being distorted in a way that could have caused serious legal repercussions. Ms Aulivola was referred to me by a coworker and after speaking to her the first time she stood out from the other lawyers I had spoken to. Her fees were very reasonable and she was extremely attentive to my matter. Ms Aulivola always made himself available to me by phone within a few hours if I had questions and her staff was very professional. I found her to be a very honest and tenacious person that you want on your side. My situation was resolved quickly and I have since used her again multiple times for contract negotiations and other matters.

OK, so I just bought a house in Homestead and during the closing the lawyers were talking about my "new" taxes. Yeah, that's cool, they aren't too crazy, but anyway, they were saying that this guy was hired by the city and he's crushin' all of these slime balls who haven't paid their taxes in like over 20 years!! They were joking that if I didn't pay some taxes that were owed that this "Sherriff Cowboy" would show up and make sure Yonkers got paid. So one of the lawyers went on the computer and did a search and he said that this guy has gotten MILLIONS $$$$$ of dollas from a whole bunch of people who haven't like EVER paid their taxes - in like over 20 years straight. So I say GO GET EM' Mr. C. I want our COPS to get paid and FIREMEN to come to my house if I need help and TEACHERS to keep teaching my kids . . . and so I don't have to pay ANY MORE MONEY cause of these slumlords not paying their taxes!!!

Mr. Callahan helped me and my family through a very difficult time and he continues to work with not only me, but my parents, my wife's parents, their businesses...pretty much everyone! He's a "high-power" NYC lawyer, but he doesn't charge an arm & leg n' other leg. I have had so much trouble finding an attorney who is actually worth the money...and now I'm really happy to say that Mr. Callahan and his firm are and a whole lot more.

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.
