If you fall behind on your mortgage payments, you will receive a notice of foreclosure, and eventually, a Summons and Complaint. Despite the common understanding of foreclosure as “getting kicked out of your home,” this is not the time to panic or despair. A foreclosure is simply a lawsuit, and by retaining experienced foreclosure defense attorneys, you will ensure yourself ample opportunity to seek a preferable alternative long before the case proceeds to the point at which you may lose your home at a foreclosure auction.
Whether it is your desire to stay in your property by reinstating your mortgage or obtaining a Loan Modification or to walk away from your property without the negative ramifications of a foreclosure by executing a Short Sale it is critical to give yourself the best opportunity possible by retaining our office to aggressively defend your foreclosure. Our foreclosure defense lawyer and attorney help you through this complex legal process. Our foreclosure defense lawyer can also file a lawsuit against your lender on your behalf if we suspect the foreclosure brought against your home is illegal. Depending on your unique situation, one or all of these options may be available to you. Therefore, as we understand how critical it is to sit down with a knowledgeable attorney and determine the best strategy early on in the foreclosure process, we offer a 100% free consultation to our potential clients.
Regardless of which strategy you decide to adopt, it is critical that you retain an attorney to defend your foreclosure immediately upon receiving a Summons and Complaint. If these papers are not responded to within 20-30 days (depending on the manner in which you were served), your lender will be able to obtain a default judgment against you. A default judgment will dramatically shorten the time available to pursue any alternative to foreclosure. At the Radow Law Group, we are experienced in executing all of the available strategies. As a result, we can begin aggressively pursuing any strategy or combination of strategies in combination with the legal defense of your foreclosure action immediately, thus improving your chances of eventually achieving a successful alternative to foreclosure.
It is also important to know that in order to fight your foreclosure, you may have to appear in court. A dedicated foreclosure defense lawyer and attorney from the Radow Law Group can provide you with the legal defense you need to fight your foreclosure and protect your rights.

A foreclosure can be scary. However, the looming threat of your house being sold comes hand in hand with the opportunity to take advantage of the involvement of a judge. our foreclosure attorneys are very familiar with all of the statutes and regulations enacted in the wake of the recent economic downturn to encourage good faith settlement negotiations between lenders and borrowers, and take full advantage of this knowledge wherever possible. Therefore, we are often able to request that the judge enforce these laws, which require the bank to give you a full and fair opportunity to be considered for all forms of loss mitigation, including Loan modification.
