Foreclosure Lawyer in New York City
Protecting Your Rights When Your Mortgage is in Default
If you have fallen behind on your mortgage payments and have received a notice of default from your lender, you may erroneously believe that you have no choice but to submit to the foreclosure proceeding. You should speak to an experienced attorney, one who fully understands your rights in foreclosure proceedings and who has helped others facing similar problems.
At the Carl E. Person Law Office, in New York City, I bring over 40 years of experience to individuals facing foreclosure proceedings, including people who are already in default on a home loan. I have a comprehensive understanding of the foreclosure process and can help you determine the best course of action, whether it's continuing to pay your mortgage payments and fighting a foreclosure proceeding or looking at alternatives to foreclosure, including short sales and home loan modifications. To set up a free initial consultation, contact my office by e-mail or call me at 212-307-4444.
Though much of my practice is in the state of New York, I also represent homeowners in mortgage default matters in other jurisdictions by special arrangement with local counsel. In addition, I often serve as local counsel for out-of-state attorneys who have legal matters in New York.
My Mortgage Default Practice
If you have fallen behind on your mortgage payments, it is in your best interests to contact me as soon as possible. Though I have represented people who have waited until a date was set for the sale of their home after the entry of a default judgment, I have far fewer options to protect your rights the longer you wait to contact me. A default judgment can be overturned, but it is a difficult process. Furthermore, if you have let the property go into default, a modification agreement may no longer be a realistic possibility.
