Foreclosure 55%

Foreclosure Defense is a passion of mine, despite the constant updates to the law and how the courts are handling the crisis. I worked on Wall St for many years, starting back when the crisis was being born. This helps me not only with the overall finance aspects of this field but also the new defenses foreclosure we use based on securitization; e.g. we argue that your mortgage may have been sold all over Wall St, no one knows who "owns" it anymore, and thus your case MUST be dismissed.

Foreclosure and bankruptcy Attorney Carol Ryder got us amazing results in our mortgage modification & was prepared for a battle

Carol got unbelievable results. She not only saved our house from foreclosure but got us a mortgage payment 1/3 of what we were paying, or actually, couldn't pay when our interest skyrocketed. She got us a 40 year mortgage at 2% and a principal reduction of $120,000. We were amazed-to get all that fo...r $3,800 up front was amazing and worth every penny. She tried to keep the Retainer at that price, and did things like have us photocopy documents on file at the County Clerk's office and scan things in and e-mail them. She even picks up the phone on Sundays-the other guy, we couldn't even get him to call back during the normal week. Our previous lawyer messed up really bad and Carol fixed it. He filed an answer to the summons late and the lender's attorney sent it back as late and filed a motion behind our backs to foreclose on us. This giant stack of documents came to the house and we freaked out and asked around for a lawyer and she was recommended. Carol promptly made a motion and included her own answer, which had something like 37 affirm defenses and a bunch of counterclaims ,to have the judge force the other side to accept the answer she wrote. So, if we didn't reach an agreement on the mortgage modification, she was well-prepared for a fight, and she included something to toss out the whole mortgage, I am confused at how that works but it is in the paperwork she gave us copies of, and I think that is why we got such a great deal on the modification. She also works for a bankruptcy firm and that name came up in us asking around, Roy Lester and Associates, and has an office there so if something went wrong, she had a back-up in bankruptcy so we felt secure for the first time in many, many months,
