Mortgage Foreclosure Once you get three months behind on your home mortgage payments, the mortgage company will usually send you a formal notice of its intention to file in the courts for mortgage foreclosure against your home. Once you are served with the complaint in mortgage foreclosure, we must react quickly. Attorney Ferrario's approach is to
first fully understand the facts of your particular situation. He
can then educate you as to the process of foreclosures, show you the
range of different solutions, and work with you on devising the
appropriate strategies. The financial crisis has also led to a
better environment toward working out loan modifications for better
terms with the mortgage company.
