I would recommend Steve Carr to anybody he is a great attorney, he definitely knows the law, he helped me through everything I was going through. When you have to go through certain situations like I did I didn't know if I would ever see light it's embarrassing and belittling but he helped me through and took all the weight off of my shoulders his prices are reasonable again I would recommend him 100% to anybody super great person thank you Steve Carr.

Attorney Merna took the time to understand my situation and then explain in easy to understand terms my options. He helped me to gain insight into not only my choices but went on to outline what each choice would look like. In the end, he was honest and explain why at this moment my case was not yet ready.

I decided to go on my own to get a loan modification after spending so much money on legal fees. At the end of the process, it got really technical and complicated, I called Ilya for an Appoitment, he went over my case in the phone and advised me of what to do next, and what to expect. Following his Advise I got it two month later, I feel he did a bonus case with me. He was so kind and humane, a rare quality in a lawyer.

My wife found Rosenberg and Press online. After talking to Ilya over the phone and meeting with him the next day, we decided to retain his services. Having Ilya and his team in our corner made us feel hopeful about our situation. Thanks to them we were able to save our home.

Lots of my friend says RE attorney don’t do anything, I told them that they didn’t get lucky to find a good one. Good attorney could make deals but bad one destroys all relationships. Josh is very punctual,detail oriented and knowledgeable. Looking no more, he is the best.

I cannot more highly recommend Josh Bogaty and his firm for Long Island real estate transactions. I am myself a lawyer, but do not handle real estate transactions. I was looking for experienced real estate counsel to handle the simultaneous sale of and purchase of residential real estate, a stressful situation that's like trying to thread a needle, with a lot of potential pitfalls. Josh came recommended from a colleague and I'm very glad we found him to advise us in the process. From our very first phone call through closing on our second transaction, Josh was simply outstanding. He is extremely knowledgable, thorough and highly responsive. We encountered several unanticipated issues throughout the process that could have been disastrous, but with Josh's expert counsel, they ended up just being speed bumps in the rear view mirror on the way to our final destination. I truly cannot more highly recommend Josh Bogaty for Long Island real estate transactions and would not hesitate to send my own clients or family members to him.

Mr. Bogaty assisted with our first home purchase and was truly helpful. He explained every aspect of our deal and fought to make sure we had the most favorable terms. He is very through, efficient and well organized. JOSH DOES NOT BS, and tells you how it is while helping you navigate. In the cutthroat RE market of NYC, having Josh, and his team, on our side made gave us a huge advantage. Until Josh retires I'll continue to recommend him to anyone dealing in real estate.

Erik Severino is an exceptional bankruptcy attorney who truly cares about his clients. My fiancée consulted with several attorneys, and most of them seemed more interested in getting her money than providing honest advice. Erik, however, was different. He was upfront and transparent from the start, advising her to hold off on filing bankruptcy because it wasn’t in her best interest at the time. His honesty and integrity were a breath of fresh air, and it was clear that he prioritized her well-being over making a quick buck. If you're looking for a trustworthy attorney who will give you genuine advice and put your best interests first, I highly recommend Erik Severino. You won't find anyone better.

Erick Severino is amazing! I initially went with a different attorney who took my money and never ended up filing my case. It was difficult to trust another bankruptcy lawyer, but after reading Erick's reviews, I knew he was the right choice for me. When I called him, he was genuine and sincere about my situation. He even advised me that it might be in my best interest *not* to file. It was refreshing to receive real advice from an attorney who wasn’t just trying to get my money. Thank you, Erick, for your honesty, integrity, and solid advice. I wish you and your firm continued success. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly works for his clients and is upfront and honest, Erick Severino is your guy!

LeNoir is a true outlier in the best sense of the word. Worked with him on a foreclosure case in Queens court and LeNoir was efficient, thoughtful, thorough, passionate and professional. Our work together resulted in the foreclosure summary judgement being dismissed by the judge, ending years of harassment on behalf of the banks. Would work with him again and recommend him in a heartbeat. He is the real deal.

Mr. Lenoir has been my attorney for a couple of years. The foreclosure work he has been litigating against a large bank has been every bit of amazing. If you have a case that seems like its not winnable you should contact him. He's not like a lot of attorneys that try to get you for every dime. Mr Lenoir will work with you. Mr. Lenoir saved my home. The attorney i hired prior to him did a poor job. After the consultation i felt like i was in good hands, he assured me what the bank was trying to do was not gonna work.

Mr. Estavillo consulted with me in a predatory foreclosure matter. He was succinct and sincerely wants to help the homeowners who were wrongly foreclosed. His focus on the San Francisco/Oakland area makes his work even more impactful as predatory foreclosures are aggressive here. The homes are valuable and the lives of the homeowners almost irreversible changed if these foreclosures happen. I am seriously considering hiring Mr. Estavillo. I would recommend anyone to contact his office if they suspect they are targets of predatory foreclosures.

My wife and I paid him $7500 all I really needed was for him to get a city police officer that is keeping us from our home to stop meddling cause he ( the cop ) is trying to help an agency squat our home but instead Mr Estavillo started reviewing recorded deeds from the county over billed us so he can keep the remainder of the retainer and if that wasn’t bad enough he was reviewing the wrong person all together and at the end just abandoned us. Good thing I know how to read title I transferred our title in to a trust and perfected title but the city cop is still keeping us from our home. That’s wrong Mr Jason Estavillo. Unfortunately I have to say I know he does know real estate, foreclosure and civil law and he is a great lawyer cause I call it as I see it. I just don’t understand why he didn’t want to help us when we paid him. Miguel and Zoila

In my contact with Mr. Estavillo,I found him very knowledgeable about my reason for calling his firm. I had interviewed several other lawyers, and none of them gave me the confidence that Mr. Jason Estavillo gave me. Being in real estate and having experienced in several bankruptcy, and foreclosures, he absolutely knew the related legal avenues that one has to follow to get the best result for success.

My experience with this law firm was honestly the best I could’ve ever imagined. Dealing with any law firm may be hard and super skeptical but not with Ozeran Law. I knew I was in great hands with him and his assistants. The process was explained thoroughly and was easy to understand. If there was one law firm I would recommend it would be Ozeran Law Firm. 100%.

Jason Stone is my favorite attorney. I love that we pretty much never spoke after our initial conversation yet he consistently got everything done promptly and secured my trademark for a fraction of the cost that others were quoting me. I don’t remember what it was about his solicitation email thatgot my attention after my trademark application hit a snag. It must have been brief and to the point though, and it got my attention, so I called the number. He immediately picked up, spent 15 minutes talking to me, and then, frankly, I never talked to him again. But, I did hear from the US patent office pretty regularly with success after success until I got my trademark done. There were a few times along the way that I wondered what the status of my case was, so I sent two follow up emails during the process, and each was responded to immediately. One response was “submitted last week thanks” and the other was “yes, exactly”. I’m used to reading long-winded explanations from attorneys. Maybe they think I care about the legal mechanics of torts and contracts and the detailed intricacies of intellectual property law. Actually, I don’t. I just wanted to put that little R next to my company name so that when some clown competitor enters my sandbox and messes with my brand I would have some leverage. And Jason handled that masterfully, and inexpensively. Hire him…you’ll be happy, and if you need companionship, maybe get a dog, and if you need someone to chat with, go talk to a customer. And of course, if you need a drum set, find LodoDrumGuy. But please just let Jason handle your legal. It will be the most pleasant/efficient lawyer experience you can ever hope to have, and if he doesn’t call, trust he’s working hard on your behalf. Thanks Jason!!

If you're a legal layperson, there is always some trepidation regarding reaching out to a lawyer. Well, at Stone Law it was apparent they were genuine, caring, and friendly as can be. Even after it was discovered that my type of case fell outside the firm's scope, rather than brushing me off, he continued to give me the benefit of his insights, heartfelt advice, and experience. That is rare, isn't it? Go with Mr. Stone!

I was referred to Paul out of necessity by a consultant, so I didn't know what to expect. I've always had a decidedly negative opinion of most attorneys and I expected more of the same. What I got from Paul, and the associates at his firm, was the polar opposite. First, an understanding of the intricacies of my particular situation, and an explanation of the law, and my options, in plain English. Second, they took a personal interest in my situation, and even advised me on several occassions to choose a simpler resolution, even though it obviously meant lower billings for the firm. Third, I was always kept current on any status changes in the various pending issues/cases that they were handling for me. That is something I have never been able to get from an attorney. I always knew what was going on within an hour of when it happened. And all this at a very reasonable hourly rate, plus extremely detailed billing statements, which is another attorney first for me.

I have used Paul and his firm for both personal and business legal matters for over 10 years. He is an excellent lawyer and also an honest and honorable man. He was always truthful about all matters. I was always kept informed about the proceedings and the billings. He would tell me when I was wrong and recommend the best course of action. Honesty like that is hard to find. His firm handles all legal matters for my computer consulting company. I have had to go to court 3 times for business disputes and Paul won every case. In addition to business litigation Paul also does all the company's contract work and general legal counsel. Paul has also handle all my personal legal matters such as real estate, estate planning and taxes. Once again because of Paul I have never been on the loosing side in a legal dispute.

I was referred to David by a friend of mine who went through a bankruptcy himself. David and his team were absolutely top notch in their representation of my Chapter 7 case. I had a very complex case with very little assets while going through a contested divorce. David walked me through every step of the process, timely answered all my questions, and kept me and appraised of the status. He promptly replied to my divorce attorney emails as well when the case was filed, which helped me along the way. I thought initially a case like mine would cost over $10,000 and David was able to do this on a very reasonable flat fee. I strongly recommend him for anyone who is considering going through a bankruptcy and needs some guidance without the stress.

We used Paul Kaplan's office to sell our house in New Haven. We had relocated across country before we had a chance to sell it, so we had to sell it remotely. Fortunately, we found some wonderful people to buy it and could do a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transaction, but we needed a capable seller's attorney's office to handle all the paperwork for us. The entire transaction was as smooth as it could possibly be. Paul's office was very competent. We gave Paul a limited power-of-attorney to handle the transaction for us. Aside for a last minute scurry to find a notary public here (hint: use Yelp) here, there really weren't any problems at all. Anytime I had any questions at all, I knew that I could call Paul or toss him an e-mail and he'd call me right back. After closing, Paul's office wired the balance of funds as soon as they settled the books (one business day!). Because of wire fraud, they were careful to make sure I was really me, and my bank account was really mine, which I appreciated. Over all, I couldn't have been happier. Well, I could have been. I would have liked to have shaked the hands of Paul and his team for doing such a great job. What could have been a stressful situation (remotely selling a house) was instead a dream. Now we have the funds to fix the fixer-upper we bought on the west coast!

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.
