The firm s practice is devoted primarily to the representation of institutional mortgage lenders in

detainer without costly delays. An experienced attorney is always available for telephone
conferences without charge to respond to your questions whether or not they pertain to a matter we
are handling.
The firm employs a support staff that includes legal secretaries, foreclosure specialists, bankruptcy
analysts, clerical workers and receptionists who work together as a cohesive team. The firm s
operations are automated by a secure computer network connecting all of the attorneys and support
staff and enabling the firm to share and exchange information electronically with clients, title
insurance companies and third party service providers.
Fees for institutionally held insured or guaranteed single family foreclosure, bankruptcy and

default matters, including foreclosure, bankruptcy, loan modifications, workouts and receiverships,
are determined by agreement. Fees for state or federal court litigation at the trial or appellate court
