Foreclosure 10%

Foreclosure defense. Our firm has been effective assisting homeowners at all stages of foreclosure, from the foreclosure sale process to the unlawful detainer and lockout stage. We have stopped foreclosure sales by directly negotiating with lenders and trustees to stop the sale or commencing civil actions in federal or state court. Our goal is to keep clients in their homes.

Fought for me when others gave up!

I was able to gain custody of my Son after 9 years with other lawyers who became tired and/or beaten by the politics of Family Law. The Dorton Firm challenged Judges, Child Advocates, Child Support Services, and my Son's Mom.
