FORECLOSURE ATTORNEYS-THE NEW BREED OF VULTURES

WHEN HIRING AN ATTORNEY THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER ARE THESE:

NUMBER 1- WILL THE ATTORNEY TAKE THE CASE ON A CONTINGENCY FEE BASIS. IN OTHER WORDS, IF THE LAWYER DOESN’T WIN THE CASE AND GET YOU MONEY, NEITHER DOES THE LAWYER.

NUMBER 2- SEE NUMBER 1

ALL PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY WEIGH THE MERITS OF YOUR CASE AND ONLY TAKE THE CASE IF THEY THINK THEY CAN WIN. THEY HAVE AS MUCH AT STAKE IN THE SUCCESS OF YOUR CASE AS YOU DO. THEREFORE, THEY WILL ALWAYS TRY HARD TO WIN YOUR CASE.

YOU SHOULD APPLY THE SAME PRINCIPLES TO FORECLOSURE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS. IF THEY DON’T THINK YOU HAVE A STRONG CASE ALL THEY WILL DO IS BUILD UP BILLABLE HOURS, FILE SEMI-FRIVOLOUS MOTIONS, DISCOVERY AND PLEADINGS WITH HEARINGS TO MATCH. ALL YOU WILL BE ACCOMPLISHING IS PAYING FOR THEIR MERCEDES, SENDING THEIR CHILDREN TO COLLEGE, OR EXCLUSIVE SUMMER CAMPS. WITH ALL THE EVIDENCE AVAILABLE REGARDING “FRAUDCLOSURE“, AND MORE COMING EVERYDAY, IF YOU HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF FORECLOSURE FRAUD OR ROBO-SIGNING, ANY DECENT ATTORNEY SHOULD AND WOULD KNOW IT IMMEDIATELY. IN FACT, YOU DON’T EVEN NEED AN ATTORNEY TO FIND THIS INFORMATION, THERE ARE DOZENS OF WEBSITES THAT WILL GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION FOR FREE. ANOTHER SOURCE IS YOUR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU IF THE LAW FIRM OR COMPANIES SEEKING TO FORECLOSE ON YOU ARE CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION.  H.U.D. IS ANOTHER GOOD SOURCE.

IF DELAYING YOUR FORECLOSURE IS YOUR INTENT, THEN YOU PERSONALLY CAN DELAY A FORECLOSURE LONGER THAN AN ATTORNEY. THE REASON FOR THIS IS ATTORNEY HAVE CERTAIN ESTABLISHED STANDARDS SET BY THEIR BAR ASSOCIATION THEY MUST ADHERE TO OR RISK SANCTIONS OR EVEN DISBARRMENT.

THERE IS SO MANY WEBSITES, NON-ATTORNEY RUN, THAT CAN YOU CAN OBTAIN FREE LEGAL INFORMATION FROM. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU CAN TO BUDGET YOURSELF AND NOT PAY FOR ATTORNEY FEES FOR ACTIONS YOU CAN PERFORM ON YOUR OWN.

THE INTENT OF THIS WRITING IS NOT TO ADVISE YOU IN HIRING AN ATTORNEY, FAR FROM IT. THERE ARE MANY THINGS AN ATTORNEY CAN DO FOR YOU AND YOUR CASE, HOWEVER, WHEN THE ATTORNEY ASKS FOR A “MONTHLY FEE” (USUALLY BETWEEN $150-$350) TO “HANDLE YOUR CASE, BE CAUTIOUS. IF THEY WANT AN UNUSUAL HIGH FEE TO “GET STARTED” (USUALLY BETWEEN $1500-$5000) BE CAREFUL AND RELUCTANT. IN ADDITION, FIND OUT HOW LONG THE ATTORNEY HAS BEEN DOING FORECLOSURE DEFENSE. WITH THE GLUT OF FORECLOSURES, MANY, MANY ATTORNEYS AND ENTIRE LAW FIRMS HAVE RECENTLY SWITCHED THEIR EFFORTS AND CONCENTRATION TO FORECLOSURE DEFENSE WITHOUT THE EXPERIENCE OR PROPER KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO PROTECT YOUR BEST INTEREST.
