Kansas City Foreclosure Lawyer
If you are a homeowner threatened with foreclosure, or a homeowner who has recently undergone a foreclosure, do not resign yourself to what might appear to be your fate. If you have been served with an unlawful detainer suit demanding that you leave your home, do not accept the petitioner's right to relief. Do not sit idly by while banks and lawyers declare their right to possess your home. Do not acquiesce to these self-important predators.
The foreclosure fiasco we are all experiencing on one level or another has many causes. But if you are in default on your loan payment, it is probable that you have experienced job loss or a job setback cutting into your ability to make the loan payments you desire to make. Get past whatever shame you may feel. Shame helps the banks. Many foreclosures are acts of lawlessness by banks and their lawyers. Your guilt makes it easier for the bank and its lawyers to steamroll you in the foreclosure process. Don't let them do it.
What is to be done? First, gather your principal papers relating to foreclosure: the promissory note, deed of trust, any notices of foreclosure you may have received, the petition or judgment in unlawful detainer, if applicable, and a loan payment history if you have one. Mail, email or bring these documents to my office for review. No charge. The sooner you take action, the more likely you are to protect what you cherish: your right to stay in your home.
In Missouri, a lender may foreclose on a home without ever asking a court to review its right to do so. The rules permit lenders to steamroll home owners and to foreclose without first demonstrating a legal right to do so. For this process to work the way lenders and their lawyers want it to work, home owners have to acquiesce to the self-serving declarations of entitlement routinely made by the lending industry. Lenders count on a home owner's embarrassment or guilt relating to their financial situation, and they further count on a home owner's financial inability to hire a lawyer to represent them in the process. You take the first step and I will help with the second step.
I am willing to assist you because banks need to be accountable, and the documents filed by their lawyers need to be held to a higher level of scrutiny. Let me know if I can help. It's up to you.
