Litigation Attorneys

Should You Sue Your Lender?

In recent years, legislators have passed new laws which give consumer protection rights to homeowners, and provide statutory damages for violations. Accordingly, many homeowners are now hiring foreclosure litigation attorneys to sue their lenders, and use other aggressive legal tactics to stop the foreclosure process, resolve their mortgages, and obtain corrective and monetary relief.

HUD Approved Foreclosure
Avoidance Counseling Agencies
Located in Idaho

Foreclosure prevention counseling services are provided free of charge by nonprofit housing counseling agencies working in partnership with the Federal Government. These agencies are funded, in part, by HUD and NeighborWorks® America. There is no need to pay a private company for these services. Organizations are listed in alphabetical order, by city.

In many cases, these organizations will end up recommending that you retain an attorney. The fact is that an experienced attorney is in the best position to represent you in mortgage negotiations and foreclosure proceedings. In fact, THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION (FTC) PROHIBITS ANY “NON-ATTORNEY” FROM NEGOTIATING MORTGAGE DEBT ON BEHALF OF A DISTRESSED HOMEOWNER. Negotiating yourself or through a non-attorney third party can even be detrimental. Before you do anything else, we recommend a NO COST ATTORNEY CONSULTATION or completing our FORECLOSURE DEFENSE ATTORNEY EVALUATION.
