Letter from the Attorney
You really don't have to look very hard in the news lately, to see that the foreclosure situation in Massachusetts and Connecticut is reaching frightening proportions. I am admitted to the Massachusetts and Connecticut bar, and I have decided to concentrate a great deal of my practice in the area of foreclosure. The majority of my work in the foreclosure area currently involves defending homeowner's who are victims of unscrupulous actions in the purchase of their home mortgage.
It is hoped that the information on this website may provide benefical advice, guidance, and be used as a resource of information for foreclosure prevention help for those who were victims of coercive tactics in the procurment of their loan, members of the bar, as well as others seeking information about foreclosures in general. I also devote a portion of my practice to other areas of the law, such as; Real Estate, Estate Planning, and Bankrutpcy, Divorce, Personal Injury, and others. I am also licensed as a Real Estate Broker in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the website for my brokerage is located at : www.russ45realty.com .
When faced with a foreclosure, most people figure they have no way out and do not challenge the foreclosure of their home. There may be several defenses you as the homeowner have, but fail to use by not challenging a threatened foreclsoure. Over 80% of foreclosure actions go unchallenged by the homeowner, DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU !!
If you have questions about saving your home through foreclosure prevention, or have a question about Massachusetts or Connecticut foreclosure defense, please contact me for a free, no obligation discussion about your situation. I will look at your situation, and If I can help you I'll let you know, if I can't, I'll tell you know that too, and if possible refer you to someone that can help you. If it turns out that you have a defense to your foreclosure I will work out a payment plan that you can afford, and in certain circumstances there is no cost to you at all !
I would like to say that the mortgage industry as a whole, while under siege at this time, has dedicated professionals who are working in their clients best interests. Unfortunately, there were (and still are) a few bad apples in the bunch, and those individuals have inflicted a devastating blow to our communities, our economy, and quite possibly have contributed greatly to put this country well on the road to recession, if not depression. It is unfortunate that these "bad apples" did not follow the words and advice of the late great Napolean Hill below, in fact this quote should provide a lesson to us all :
"Before us lie two paths -- honesty and dishonesty. The shortsighted embark on the dishonest path; the wise on the honest. For the wise know the truth; in helping others we help ourselves; and in hurting others we hurt ourselves. Character overshadows money, and trust rises above fame. Honesty is still the best policy". ---Napolean Hill

This is intended as a peripheral exposure to the various foreclosure options available, but by no means is this a comprehensive or exhaustive analysis of foreclosure laws or their alternatives. One defense in foreclosure is a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.Whether or not you should file Chapter 13 bankruptcy, or any bankruptcy, will vary depending on your personal circumstances and should only be undertaken after careful consideration, analysis and after consultation with an attorney experienced with such matters.
