Frequently Asked Questions
When should I contact a foreclosure defense attorney?
You should contact an attorney as soon as you learn your lender has started foreclosure proceedings or you believe foreclosure may be approaching. Early legal guidance will provide more options and more time to evaluate your case. Even if a lawsuit has already been filed, it is often still possible to take meaningful legal action.
Can you help if my foreclosure case is already in court?
Yes. We represent homeowners whose foreclosure cases are already pending in New York courts. Depending on your circumstances, representation may include defending the foreclosure action, evaluating available legal defenses, negotiating with the lender when appropriate, or pursuing other legal strategies designed to protect your rights.
What types of appeals do you handle?
The Law Offices of Erin E. Wietecha handles foreclosure appeals as well as other civil appeals. If you believe a legal error affected the outcome of your case, we can evaluate the record, explain your appellate options, and determine whether an appeal is appropriate.
Do I need to come to your Brooklyn office?
Not necessarily. Many consultations and client communications can be handled by phone or remote teleconferences, making it easier for clients to receive legal guidance without unnecessary travel.
