How can I afford an attorney to help with foreclosure defense?

When people want to keep their house, they think that paying the mortgage every month as long as they can and holding on to the house that way. That's a mistake. They give away their last cent to the bank and they have nothing left with which to defend themselves. So, thinking ahead when you are going to run into a foreclosure situation, precipitate it yourself by stopping payment. Use that money to higher a lawyer. You don't pay during the 14 months of the foreclosure proceeding and you make the bank come to the bargaining table and hopefully get an agreement. I am Carl Pearson, I am a New York Lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Is predatory lending a growing problem in California?

Predatory lending is a growing problem in the sense that all of the borrowers who received these predatory loans in the past years, all the chickens are coming home to roost at this point. The borrowers are now, their payments are going through the roof. They can no longer afford them. They are on these adjustable rate mortgages that sounded good and looked good when they first got into them but now as the interest rates are continuing to rise, the borrowers can no longer make these payments. And that's really at the heart of the current economic crisis is a lot of these homeowners in California that cannot make their mortgage payments because they have adjusted upwards and they can no longer afford to make the payment.

My mortgage just went up! How do I get it back down?

If your mortgage payment just went up, there are two ways of getting it back down. One, is to talk to the bank and tell the bank your problem and see if they won't be willing to modify the agreement to lower the rate and that with the modification agreement with the consent of the bank. But if the bank won't do it, this is where people then go to a lawyer and tell the lawyer "Look, I can't afford it. I'm gonna have to stop paying the mortgage." And the lawyer might say "Well that's a fine thing. Stop paying. Let them sue you. We'll defend and then we will modify it on better terms." I'm Carl Pearson, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

Can I stop paying my mortgage in New York?

Can a person in New York stop paying his mortgage? And the answer is 'yes'. Its very easy, if you can't afford it you have to stop paying and then you invite a mortgage foreclosure action and then you assert your defenses against it and then the bank will have to reach a modification agreement with you if you're able to live within the terms of the modification. For example, you could cut a $4,000 payment down to maybe $3,200. If you can make the $3,200 payment, the bank may be willing to reach the modification agreement to end the lawsuit.

Do banks want to lower my monthly mortgage payment?

Banks want to lower the mortgage payments under circumstances that are just. For example, if a person has the property that is declining in value, less income, they have been steady payers they just can't afford the higher rate, and especially if the higher rate was just thrust on them with a variable. The banks recognize the writing on the wall and they are willing to reach an agreement, called a modification agreement, to keep the monthly payment down and make it affordable, yes. I'm Carl Person.

What happens in a car accident with an uninsured driver?

If you're involved in a car accident and the other vehicle is uninsured, by law in New York State you're required to have uninsured motorist coverage. In addition if the other vehicle had less insurance than you had,you're entitled to make a claim through what's called SUM coverage - Supplemental uninsured motorist coverage. So my advice is to purchase as much SUM coverage as you can afford, because that's the coverage that's going to protect you if the other vehicle is insured or underinsured. I'm Mitchell Proner, if you're looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

How much will a wrongful death lawsuit cost?

People who are considering a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death lawsuit really do not need to concern themselves with up front costs as long as they are dealing with one of the real personal injury law firms that have real experience, really know what they are doing. Those law firms are going to advance all the costs of the case anyway. I've never had a client that could afford the costs upfront that it takes to pursue a lawsuit. All the best law firms will advance whatever it takes, take the money out of the recovery, and if there's no recovery, they'll eat the loss. So you don't need to be concerned about "what is it going to cost me?" I'm John Bisnar, senior partner of the Bisnar Chase law firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in Newport Beach, California.

What is chapter 7 bankruptcy?

A Chapter Seven bankruptcy is a bankruptcy which has a goal to discharge or wipe out all of your unsecured debt, meaning credit card debt, doctors' bills, oil bills, hospital bills, things that aren't secured by collateral that you want to keep such as a home loan or an auto. But you also have an alternative, a choice, if you have a car that you want to get rid of, you can get rid of the car, and get rid of that debt. If you have a house that for any reason you feel that you no longer can afford to live in, and you want to surrender the house and get rid of that debt, you can do that with a Chapter Seven as well.

Does a bank have to modify my loan in California?

A bank will have to modify a loan now in California because of the California Loan Modification Law. If the borrower meets certain criteria, for instance the loan is orginated between 2003 and 2007 and its a loan on their primary residence, the lenders will have to give a loan modification if the borrower can afford to make a payment on the loan that will reap the lender more money than a foreclosure would. Now a lot of times you're going to have to file a law suit because the lenders aren't listening a lot of times. My name is Damien Nesery. I'm a partner in the law firm of Howard Nesery.

Do banks prefer loan modifications or foreclosures?

As time goes on, banks are becoming more and more willing to do loan modifications. I would say six months or a year ago, the answer was 'no' whenever a borrower came to a, a bank for loan modification. But as the time is going by and the banks are losing more and more money on the non-performing loans and the foreclosure sales that are not uh, occurring, the banks are st-, starting to change their tune. And especially with the bailout, and the new laws that are coming around with, in California, uh, they are becoming, they're starting to wake up and smell the coffee. And realize that they need to make some money of these loans and the way to do that is to, is to get a loan modification and get the borrower on a payment that they can afford. If they need to extend the term, or if they need to lower the interest rate, something is better than nothing at this point. And so that's the way we're really starting to see banks are becoming more open to the idea of loan modificaiton. My name is Damion Nasire. I'm a partner in the law firm Howard & Nasire.

What is a loan modification?

Well, a loan modification is just that. It's a modification of the terms of the existing loan. The borrower stays in the same loan, but the terms are changed. Typically, we're dealing with an interest rate reduction where the interest rate is lowered to bring the payment down. Another way the loan can be modified is by extending the terms, so a thirty year loan can be made into a forty year loan to bring the payment down a little bit more that way as well. Another common thing that we're starting to see is principal reductions, where the actual amount that the borrower owes is lowered by sometimes tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes a hundred thousand dollars to get the price of the monthly payment down to a point where the borrower can actually afford the payment.

How long does it take to get a loan modification?

A loan modification can take anywhere from one month to six months. Typically it involves negotiations back and forth with the lender, and every lender is different just like every loan is different. So, some lenders are a little bit more willing to work with you, others are not. But usually what we do in our firm is we propose a loan modification to the lender, it involves income analysis, expense analysis, it gives a real good snapshot to the lender of what this borrower can afford. We point out to the lender what the fair market value of the property is and that usually is going to encourage the lenders to reduce the principle and the interest rate within a three to six month time frame.

How will a loan modification help me keep my house?

A loan modification can help you keep your house because it can get you back on the track of making your mortgage payment every month. It really is going to help the borrower who is in default and is several months behind on their loan, get back in the position where they can afford the monthly payment. And usually this is only a couple hundred dollars, maybe a thousand dollars. If we can get that payment down by that amount, the borrower should be able to make the payment. Most of these borrowers have gone into default because they've gotten themselves into these adjustable rate mortgages that have just adjusted a little bit too high for their monthly budget. If we bring it back in a little bit then they should be able to get back on track and stay current. My name's Damion Nassiri. I'm partner in the law firm Howard Nassiri.

Can a predatory lending lawsuit prevent foreciosure?

It's possible to stop a foreclosure sale with a predatory lending lawsuit. It will be up to the judge's discretion. The judge will have discretion to stop a foreclosure sale if the judge believes that this case has merit, and that the borrower deserves a loan modification that they can afford. A lot of times, before we file a lawsuit we are able to negotiate with the lender, and the lender chooses to stop the foreclosure sale because they understand that an attorney is involved and that an attorney is trying to negotiate a loan modification that will result in a favorable outcome to the lender because the lender will now have a performing loan with a homeowner who's making a payment, which is better than no payment.

What's it like to help someone fight against predatory lenders?

It’s a great feeling to help somebody who’s been a victim of a predatory loan. To be able to make that phone call and call the client and let them know that the foreclosure sale has been postponed, that they don’t have to pack up their bags. It’s a great feeling to talk to people who you’ve just helped save their most precious asset. They’ve got kids in school and they don’t want to move, and there is no reason for it. Things can be worked out to get people back on track to be able to make a payment where they can afford to stay in the home and the lender’s not going to lose any more money. So, it really is a good feeling and it’s one that we hope to keep duplicating. My name’s Damion Nassiri. I’m a partner in the law firm Howard Nassiri.

What's it like to help someone stay in their home?

Feels great to help someone modify their loan because it means they are going to be able to keep the loan. It also has a bigger impact on the economy. If we can get all of these non-preforming loans to preform through loan modifications, I really, truly believe that would be as much of a help, if not more of a help, than the current bail out. Because that is the problem right now in California and across the nation, as we have all these people that are in default because they simply can't afford to pay the mortgage after it increases. After the interest rate goes up and they are good people, they are hard working people and they want to make a loan payment. It's just that the predatory loan has made it as such that they can no longer make that increased payment.

Should I have an attorney at my probation violation hearing?

In Massachusetts, I would say you’re basically crazy if you don’t have an attorney represent you in a probation violation. As a matter of fact, very often, you have an absolute right to be represented and if you can’t afford an attorney you’re indigent and the court will assign you somebody. But, the fact is, even if that‘s not the case, and you don’t qualify for court-appointed counsel, you got to have an attorney that’s experienced in dealing with probation violation hearings. They’re they’re animals in and of themselves, different from other criminal cases. And, without that representation, you’re probably going on a voyage.
