    Foreclosure Prevention

    At AKW Law, we help homeowners facing residential foreclosures. Options we can help you explore in defending against a foreclosure include:

     

    • Loan Modification 

    • Postponement of Trustee's Sale

    • Mortgage Mediations

    • Fraud by the Lender

    • Lack of Note Defense

    • Short Sale

    • Deed in Lieu 

     

    Don't wait until it's too late.  Receiving a Notice of Pre-Foreclosure Options, marks the beginning of the foreclosure process.  Upon receipt of this, you can set up a meeting with the lender to discuss the various options.  If you do not set up this meeting, you will receive a Notice of Default within 30 days.  You may also receive a Notice of Trustee Sale.  The Sale is where the lender is going to sell your home, and the sale will be scheduled 120 days from when you receive the Notice of Trustee Sale.  You should call immediately upon receiving the Notice of Pre-Foreclosure Options for the best chance of remaining in your home and preventing foreclosure.

    Sexual Abuse

    If you or someone you love survived sex abuse as a child, it is important to contact a lawyer right away because you may be barred from filing a lawsuit or seeking recourse if the statute of limitiations expired.  Sexual abuse takes many forms and affects may types of victims.  We are committed to preventing childhood sex abuse and seeking justice for victims of sex abuse.  

    ​

    Like many of our other fee structures, we take sexual abuse cases on a contingency - which means we do not require attorney's fees up front and are only paid if we are able to help you recover monetary damages.
