Foreclosure 40%

We represent borrowers in all aspects of Home Preservation. Technical & equitable legal arguments can be used in court to defend a homeowner and prevent the loss of their home in a foreclosure sale. Defending a foreclosure can put pressure on the lender to negotiate a modification when the borrower has been denied in the past. Defending a foreclosure can provide an opportunity for the borrower to obtain foreclosure alternatives outside of court such as a short sale, deed-in-lieu, or

Terrific team!

Rick and his team helped us close on a property with a lot of challenges in a very tight timeframe. Rick (and his amazing paralegal, Scott) were thorough, tenacious and did a great job helping us navigate the situation. And we love our new home! We will definitely recommend Rick and his team to our... friends and family.

Very Favorable Outcome

Rick was recommended by my real estate agent, and I certainly didn't regret taking his recommendation. I worked mainly with Chelsea and Cathy, and although I had long since moved half way across the country, they persistently negotiated a very favorable short sale settlement on my behalf and made su...re everything came together for closing.

Very disappointed so far...

After meeting with Rick I had very high expectations, he definitely seemed knowledgeable. But it seems like they are working on too many cases at once to provide any meaningful representation, which is mostly done by legal aids. So far I'm very disappointed, but depending on how things progress I ...may update my rating and provide more details.

The whole gamut!

Rick and his team helped me to survive in a very complex foreclosure situation. He is an expert in this unfortunate situation. I worked with others and no one compares to his understanding of not only foreclosure but real estate law. He will work tirelessly at a fair rate. He and his team will k...eep you in the loop of everything. Mine was so complex that we learned and grew together. The outcome was the best case scenario. He is also a honest, kind and caring person. I would highly recommend Rick and his entire team.
