Attorney Advantage
If you have fallen into foreclosure and want to stop foreclosure, your first instinct will most likely be to try to mitigate the loss yourself and try to stop the foreclosure process. You may be inclined to seek a loan modification on your own and try to work with the lender, negotiating on your own behalf.
There are several reasons why you have an attorney advantage when you are seeking to negotiate with your lender to save your home and stop foreclosure. The attorney advantage to stop foreclosure through loss mitigation includes:
Calls get answered quicker
Lenders are very understaffed. There are too many foreclosures on the books and not enough new loans to justify hiring more people. As a result, the lenders are understaffed and not enough people are available to return phone calls. When an attorney calls, however, the lender is more likely to pick up the phone and return the call. Attorneys usually get results for a variety of reasons. The main reason is that when people who are dealing with an attorney, they know that they are dealing with a person who has knowledge of the law and means business. The bottom line is that if you want to stop foreclosure, an attorney will most likely have better luck at getting to a decision maker in your company than you will.
Attorneys are not emotionally involved
Just as you should not represent yourself in court, you should not represent yourself when negotiating on your own behalf. You have an emotional investment at stake that can cloud your judgment. An attorney is a third party, is used to tough negotiations and will act on your behalf without a clouded judgment. While you may be tempted to settle for less to save your home from foreclosure, an attorney is likely to press for more, often succeeding. You can stop foreclosure easier if you are not emotionally involved.
Attorneys understand the law
Attorneys understand the foreclosure law in your state and what must be done to stop foreclosure. This takes years of study and is not something that you can learn overnight. This knowledge is very powerful because it can give you options to stop foreclosure and can be used to negotiate on your behalf with the lender. Because they understand the implications in foreclosure law, they can use certain scenarios in the law to negotiate with the lender on your behalf to stop foreclosure.

"When we found 1st Foreclosure Prevention, we were about to file bankruptcy. We thought it was the only way to stop the foreclosure process. We were so embarrassed at having to do this and didn't want our kids to even know. But we had to act right away if we wanted to stop foreclosure from happening to us. We had an adjustable rate mortgage that ballooned out of control and I lost my job. We had nothing to lose by getting the free foreclosure consultation from 1st Foreclosure Prevention. We were actually surprised at all of the choices we had to stop foreclosure. Thanks to them, we didn't have to file bankruptcy and are no longer in debt."
"I'm really glad that 1st Foreclosure Prevention was able to help me with my mortgage problems. I was already in the foreclosure process when I called them for a free foreclosure evaluation. They were really nice and explained a lot of things to me that I didn't know, including how to stop foreclosure. I didn't even know that I could do that! They were able to work out a deal with my bank so that I was able to keep my home and pay less on the mortgage. Now I am able to afford my home and even save a little money, thanks to this company. I can't say enough good things about them."
"We called 1st Foreclosure Prevention right away because a friend of ours who went through foreclosure in Florida told us about them. We knew that the sooner we acted to stop foreclosure, the better our chances. They gave us a lot of help and we were able to prevent foreclosure. Their loss mitigation specialists were great, too. They knew the laws in our state better than we did and they also had a lot of options for us that we never would have considered. Thanks to them, we are much better off. We're glad our friend recommended them and now we will do the same for others."
"We were really in a jam. I was on disability because of my back and it wasn't enough to cover the mortgage payments. My wife lost her job and got another one, but it didn't pay as good as the first job. Our house was heading for the foreclosure process and fast. But we didn't know what to do. It seemed everything was spinning out of control for us. Luckily, my wife found 1st Foreclosure Prevention online. We filled out the form for the free foreclosure consultation and got a call the next day. We talked it over with them and gave them more information. Then they gave us a case study of our situation that was really detailed. They seemed to really know what they were doing and they did because the stopped foreclosure for us. They got us out of a bad situation - we can never thank them enough."
"I was going through a divorce and was about to lose the house. I didn't want to keep the house but I didn't want to go through the foreclosure process, either. But I had no idea that there were other options open to me in my state until I contacted 1st Foreclosure Prevention. I talked everything over with a very nice loss mitigation specialist and they gave me a personal and free foreclosure consultation. They were able to actually stop the foreclosure process and I was able to stay in my home until it was sold. After the divorce, I was able to buy a new home for myself and my children."
"The bank was actually selling our house right out from under us! I didn't think it was possible, but we live in a state where the bank can start selling your home if you do not pay your mortgage. So we got a notice that they were selling and didn't know what to do. We weren't even sure we wanted to live there anymore as it was worth a lot less than what we paid for it. But we had no idea about the impact foreclosure has until we learned about it from a friend. We did want to be able to get a fresh start and didn't want a foreclosure haunting us for years to come. So we contacted 1st Foreclosure Prevention and they were able to help us stop foreclosure. They stopped the sale and then helped us sell our house. They really ended up saving us."
