Mortgage Foreclosure Defense

RLG represents clients defending against the overreaching efforts of today's lenders engaged in the mortgage foreclosure crisis impacting so many property owners. With over 50% of mortgage loans “under water”, defenses are raised on behalf of property owners designed to defend and preserve the client's rights in the lawsuit. Simultaneously, original closing documents are reviewed for possible federal and/or state law violations by lenders leading up to or at the time of the original closing. Throughout the process, opportunities to modify the loan or short-sale the property are periodically discussed, reviewed and proposed to determine the lender's willingness to negotiate a resolution to the litigation. Ultimately, we will not settle any case that does not truly offer fair and reasonable settlement terms for our client.

RLG can assist you in reviewing critical issues such as, the handling of escrow deposits, tax implications of the sale, impact of “additions” to the property without a permit, handling negative property inspections, review of the closing statement and figures, and last minute disputes.

RLG will help you review, understand, and negotiate this process to expose the latent dangers in bank “approvals”.
