What Does a Foreclosure Defense Lawyer Do?
A foreclosure defense lawyer works to prevent, stop, or reverse the foreclosure process—whether through negotiation, litigation, or aggressive procedural challenges. At The Price Law Firm, our attorneys go beyond just paperwork. We tailor a comprehensive legal defense based on the specifics of your case, including potential lender errors, unfair lending practices, loan modifications, and mortgage workout options.
Depending on your circumstances, your defense strategy may include:
- Challenging improper loan servicing or misapplied payments
- Investigating violations of state or federal foreclosure laws
- Pursuing mortgage modification or loan restructuring
- Filing litigation to pause or dismiss foreclosure proceedings
- Raising defenses related to standing, documentation, or fraud
- Negotiating short sales or deeds in lieu of foreclosure

We don’t just try to buy you time. We fight to save your home.

How Can a Foreclosure Defense Lawyer Help Me Stay in My Home?
Foreclosure isn’t a fast process in New York. That gives us time—but only if you act quickly. From the moment you retain us, your foreclosure defense lawyer will begin crafting a strategic plan to delay, halt, or dismiss the foreclosure process entirely.

- Borrowers who were denied a fair mortgage modification

Frequently Asked Questions About Foreclosure Defense
How long does the foreclosure process take in New York?
New York is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning all foreclosures must go through the court system. This process can take several months to years, especially if you have an experienced foreclosure defense lawyer who can raise strong legal defenses, negotiate with the lender, and delay proceedings through procedural tactics.
Can a foreclosure be stopped once it has started?
Yes. Even after a lender initiates foreclosure, you still have legal options. A foreclosure defense lawyer can file an answer with the court, challenge the lender’s claims, pursue loan modification, or negotiate a settlement to stop the foreclosure and keep you in your home.
Do I have to move out immediately after receiving a foreclosure notice?
No. Receiving a foreclosure notice does not mean you must leave your home immediately. In fact, with legal representation, you may be able to remain in your home for months or even years while your case is being litigated or resolved through negotiation.
Is it worth hiring a lawyer if I’m already behind on mortgage payments?
Absolutely. Falling behind doesn’t mean foreclosure is inevitable. A foreclosure defense lawyer can analyze your case, identify lender violations, and propose solutions like forbearance, reinstatement, or modification. Legal advocacy can mean the difference between losing and saving your home.
What if I want to walk away from the home instead of fighting foreclosure?
That may be an option—but you should still consult a foreclosure defense lawyer first. You may be eligible for a deed in lieu of foreclosure, short sale, or negotiated exit that limits damage to your credit and avoids a deficiency judgment. An attorney can help you make the cleanest exit possible.
