The Unfortunate Foreclosure Practice

There are a number of defenses available to individuals facing foreclosure.  As individuals have recently contacted my office to defend their foreclosure complaints from the beginning, I am excited to see a number of available defenses.  It feels very satisfying to explain a potential defense and a strategic outcome to the client and sense their relief.  Unfortunately, the majority of the foreclosure defenses with which I have been involved have been severely damaged by the time I became involved.  Legitimate defenses have to be raised in a motion for relief from judgment, or I have to argue on appeal that available defenses were asserted and overlooked by the trial court,

If a homeowner aggressively defends the foreclosure complaint from the begining, the outcome is more likely to be satisfactory for the homeowner,
