Should I negotiate a loan modification myself?

Carl E. Person

A person that wants a loan modification can do it himself and runs the risk that the bank can ask questions which the borrower might not be able or want to answer at that point. But, if the borrower hires somebody to do this negotiation for him then there's a certain step away which makes it possible that the agreement can be reached more readily. On the other hand if you just defend the lawsuit the attorney that you hire will be the one to, to negotiate the modification for you.

Can I negotiate a loan modification myself?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

Anyone can negotiate a loan modification. The problem is, is that these lenders are so bombarded -- and they are still a little bit reluctant to give the loan modification -- that a lot of times the borrower can the runaround. And the borrower will submit a loan modification application, and the lender never calls them back. Or if they do the lender gives them bad news because their house is worth less than what they owe. And so they give - they tell them they can't get the loan modification. What a lawyer can do is step in and enforce that right. A lawyer can file a lawsuit under the new California loan modification law and have the judge order the loan modification. My name is Damien (sp?) Nassiri.

What can I do if my severance package was not honored?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

If your severance package was not as it was promised by the employer and it was pursuant to the terms of an agreement that you signed with the employer then the employer most likely has breached that agreement and you should immediately contact an attorney, have them review the severance agreement, and have an attorney explain your rights under the severance agreement. You need to understand your rights and you perhaps need to have an attorney help you assert your rights under those agreements. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the Managing Attorney of the Harman Firm.

Can a predatory lending lawsuit prevent foreciosure?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

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.

How can I lower my mortgage payment in New York?

Carl E. Person

In New York a person can lower his mortgage payment by having a good case to present to the bank that, "I have been sick. I have lost the income." In one case a person's house got a broken back; and as a result it was a structural defect in the house and it caused the house to have half its value. I said, "Negotiate with the bank based upon the new value, and that'll cut your payments in half. You'll only pay half as much and only owe half as much." Facts: The bank wants to listen to facts. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

How does a loan modification work?

Carl E. Person

Loan modification works when you have the borrower and the back agreeing to making a change in the mortgage payments. The facts that are being considered are: Does the borrower have the capacity to pay at the reduced rate? Is the value of the property less so that it's no longer fair to hold the borrower to the higher value because for some reason the borrower may no longer be liable for any deficiency? Various factors need to be brought into play - they negotiate it out; reach a loan modification agreement and that way the homeowner stays in the property and usually pays a reduced monthly rate. I'm Carl Person; I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

What is a commission clause in an employment agreement?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

A commission clause in an employment agreement is going to govern how you are compensated in part and often times they can be very vague and the employer can interpret it, so you need an attorney to really help you negotiate very specific terms of all your compensation that is within your employment contract so that you're very clear on what you're entitled to at the end of the year, whether it be commission, bonus or salary.

Do I need a lawyer to file a dog bite claim?

Bisnar Chase LLP

In dog attack claims, you don't necessarily need an attorney to handle the claim. If it's serious an attorney will be a big help to you. If you are a fair negotiator, I mean if you know how to negotiate and you can handle dealing with an insurance company, then you could handle the claim yourself, as long as you know the value of the claim yourself (and that's the tricky part). Because a very experienced personal injury attorney, or a dog bite attorney, is gonna know what he settled his last 100 claims for and be able to identify the value of your claim versus those other claims. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase law firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices at New Port Beach, California.

Will I have to go to court for my predatory lending case?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

You may not have to go to court to get your predatory lending case resolved. A few go see a good attorney.

However, that same attorney will be ready to go and filed the lawsuit if the case calls for it.

How long will debt settlement take in California?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

A debt settlement program can take anywhere from 6 months to 4 years. How long anyone is in a debt settlement program is really going to depend on how aggressive of an approach they want to take. If they want to save more money faster and put more money into their trust account, allowing attornies the ability to negotiate their debts faster then they're going to be in them for a shorter amount of time. If they don't have a lot of disposable income then it's going to take longer, but on average anywhere from 6 months to 4 years. I'm Vincent Howard, Senior and Managing Partner of Howard Nisery.

How long will it take debt settlement to get me out of debt?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, once you engage in a debt settlement program, how fast you get out of debt is really going to depend on you. In some of the better programs where you're putting money into a trust account with an attorney giving them the ability to negotiate your debt away, it's going to depend on how much disposable income you're going to have and how much money you're going to have to put in that trust account. If you put more money in there, of course you're going to get out of debt a lot faster than someone who's putting less money in there. So, at the end of the day it's going to depend on the actual consumer on how fast they get out of debt. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard and Nesery.

Does my debt go away in a debt settlement?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

Your debt may go away in a debt settlement program. I mean at the end of the day that's the goal. Our goal - or anyone going into a debt settlement program, that program's goal is to negotiate away your unsecured debt. However, the consumer has to realize that it's up to the creditor ultimately whether or not they want to reduce or even erase the amount of debt that you owe. Most of the times they will do that because some money is better than no money. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard Nassiri.

What is an arbitration clause in an employment agreement?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

An arbitration clause is a clause in an employment agreement, or often these days in an employee handbook that binds an employee to arbitrate their disputes, and prohibits them forever from filing a lawsuit in court. In some instances, the employee doesn't have a choice. If it's in the employee handbook, and you're asked to countersign handbook, you have created a contractual relationship with the employer, and you're bound by arbitration. If you're negotiating your own contract, you can perhaps negotiate the arbitration clause out of the contract. It's important because it limits your ability to go after your employer and you have to arbitrate your dispute, and you cannot file a lawsuit in court, and you cannot have a jury of your peers judge the facts of your case. You're giving up that right. It's a very important right in the United States. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of The Harman Firm.
