WILL COUNTY HOME FORECLOSURE LAWYER

Can I Save My Home From Foreclosure?

And what we can tell you, based on the experience of practicing bankruptcy law for over 30 years, is do not panic and do not despair.

Helping You Make an Informed Choice

In Illinois, home foreclosure doesn’t happen overnight. In fact, it’s a fairly lengthy process that generally takes anywhere from nine months to a year to complete. That said — if you’ve received a home foreclosure notice, don’t wait too long before doing something about it.

At the free initial consultation, our attorney will take an honest, objective look at your financial situation and explain the various options that could work to achieve your goals. Part of that process involves looking at whether or not avoiding foreclosure is the best thing.

In some cases, a home might simply be too expensive or not well-suited to your family’s needs and it might be time to see if there’s something better out there. In other cases, and if you’re not currently unemployed, you may be able to obtain a loan modification from your lender. Another way to avoid foreclosure is by cashing in home equity to make the missed payments. Unfortunately, the housing market crash has made this option unavailable to most people.

In most cases, if you’ve missed mortgage payments, want to keep your home and cannot immediately make the payments you’ve missed — a Chapter 13 bankruptcy could be your best solution.

In any case, however, our focus will be on showing you what you can do— not on trying to convince you to do what we want.
