Since the exposure of widespread fraud and deceptive practices by some of America’s largest banks, legislators have passed new laws giving homeowners causes of action to sue their lenders. As a result, many homeowners are hiring litigation attorneys to sue their lenders and use other aggressive legal tactics to stop the foreclosure process and resolve their troubled mortgages.
