How is a mortgage foreclosure defense like smart business?

When a borrower has a mortgage and knows there's going to be trouble ahead, the borrower should look ahead like anyone in business would that sees bad times coming and they should start adjusting their financial policy, which means in the case of a mortgage, consider whether you should stop paying earlier now, rather than paying until you have no money left. So smart business tactics would be stop paying, force a mortgage foreclosure proceeding and then defend. And then usually reach a negotiation and settlement that will allow the property to be brought back to a performing status. I'm Carl Person, I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

What's the right type of business formation for me?

Choosing a business entity is so important when starting a business because it impacts dramatically on both the legal protection that the business entity affords and also on your tax consequences. So you have to have a competent attorney to assist you in making these decisions. Because if you don’t, then you’re going to pay more taxes then you should and you’re not going to have the protection that you need in order to properly operate the business.

Why do insurance companies limit car accident pay-outs?

Insurance companies limit payouts because that's where their profit is. You got to remember that when you pay your auto insurance premium only two or three percent of that dollar that you pay in premium goes to profit. However, every dollar saved on your claim is a dollar of profit. So therefore, it's 33 times more profitable for the insurance company to save a dollar on your claim than it is to get a dollar in premium payments. They are in the business to make money. They are in the truth, justice, fairness in American way business. They are for-profit business, and they will make their profit wherever they can. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase Law Firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims, from our offices in Newport Beach, California.

Why do you advocate for children who've been injured?

As an attorney and a child safety advocate, I believe it’s my role not only to provide compensation for an individual child, an individual family that’s suffered injury as the result of a defective toy or product, but also to send the message to the industry, that they can’t get away with it. If they put profits before safety, they’re going to be held accountable, and they’re going to have to change the way they do business so this doesn’t happen to the next child. I’m attorney Tom Kylee [SP]. I’ve been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Do mortgage lenders forgive debt?

Mortgage lenders are in the business of trying to maximize the value of their assets and as part of that they will give up interests, they will give up monies that are owed, they will make deals in order to have the properties that they own be productive for them by having people living in their houses and paying a monthly rent. Part of that means that they may have to give up some of the principle of the loan and they have to reduce the interest rate. Yes they are willing to do that and the objective is to try to have in homes that are paying the mortgage, rather than have a lot of toxic mortgages floating around. I'm Carl Person a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

How long do I have to respond to a foreclosure notice in NY?

When a person is sued for foreclosure, they receive a summons and complaint, and a person has 20 days in which to answer by filing an answer in court. So, you have a 20 day period after the service of a summons and complaint. There are some exceptions that make it a little bit longer, but don't rely on exceptions. Think of 20 days. And that's not 20 business days, it's 20 days. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

How is a sub-prime mortgage different from a regular mortgage?

A sub-prime mortgage is given to individuals who don't qualify with their employment record, their income, their earnings to be qualified for the prime rate. So, in many cases the small business person has no earnings, they somehow live, they don't necessarily pay taxes, and when they try to qualify for a mortgage, the bank laughs because you have no income. So the sub-prime was set up basically for those people that couldn't prove that they could pay a mortgage but many other people who don't have any earnings, don't have any income were also included, and that was a mistake. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Are car accident lawsuits common in Massachusetts?

"Many people who haven't been in car accidents think that if that happened to them, they're just going to call their insurance agent and that their car is going to be fixed, their medical bills are going to be paid, they're going to be paid for their time out of work, and they're going to be paid for the pain and suffering of this horrible experience that they've had. That's not the case. Insurance companies, they're in business to make a profit. They make a profit by paying as little as possible on your claim. The adjusters are trained to do this. Even with an experienced attorney involved, they still resist paying full value on claims. That's why many times these cases require being taken to court to hold the insurance company accountable to ensure that they pay full value for what happened to you. I'm attorney Tom Kiley, I've been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades."

What's the #1 mistake people make after a car accident in NY?

The mistake the individual that's involved in a car accident makes if they've sustained injuries, is they believe that they will be treated fairly by the insurance carrier. You're not in their good hands, you're not their good neighbor. They're a big business that's trying to make as much as possible by collecting as much as possible in premiums and paying out as little as possible in claims. So, they don't offer you fair compensation unless a skilled attorney gets involved. And the mistakes that the individual that's involved in a car accident often makes is they think they will be treating fairly from the onset. I'm Mitchell Proner.

Why do I need to worry about protecting my assets?

You need to worry about protecting and preserving your assets because we live in a predatory climate. There are creditors now who are attempting to sue and get into the deep pocket of people who are business owners, or professionals, or who own real estate assets. We're in a victim oriented society where people think that they need to be compensated for anything bad that might happen. Therefore, in this situation because of the proliferation of lawsuits, the victim oriented society and the notoriety that some of these cases are given, you need to protect your assets. I'm Jeff Matson and I'm the Founding and Managing Partner of Wealth Strategies Council. We help people preserve, protect and transfer their legacy to the next generation in the most cost saving and efficient manner possible.
