Our Practice
We provide experienced representation to individuals and businesses, handling matters involving:
- Defense in foreclosure actions. If you have been served with foreclosure papers you only have 20 days to file a response. If you do not file a response or file the wrong response with the Court, it can have dire consequences to your case. At Combs Greene McLester we have invested 100s of hours perfecting various motions, including motions to dismiss, and strategies for use in foreclosure cases. With the problems caused by mortgage seciritization, as a defendant in a foreclosure case you may have many defenses or countercliams which must be timely raised to be preserve your rights.
- Personal Bankruptcy filings. We can handle all matters related to proceedings in Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and for high debt individuals, Chapter 11. We can assist you in totally eliminating the second mortgage for your principal residence if the balance on your first mortgage exceeds the value of your house. For investment property, not only can you do the same thing, but you can also reduce the balance owed on the first mortgage, so that the difference between what you owe and what your property is worth is much narrower. In all cases, we will guide you through your case, ensuring all the proper paperwork is prepared, and representing you in meetings and hearings with creditors, the bankruptcy trustee and the Court.
