Many of the clients of The Law Office of Ronald D. Weiss, P.C. are faced with foreclosure procedures against their homes. One response to a foreclosure proceeding is to litigate with the mortgage holder. Our firm can help the client answer the summons and complaint that initiate the foreclosure proceeding. This needs to be done within 20-30 days after service of the summons and complaint. Such answer is one out of several documents that are usually filed as part of a foreclosure defense. Other documents include a motion to dismiss, if applicable, and a response a motion for summary judgment. At the end of a foreclosure proceeding, before a foreclosure sale date takes place, our firm can represent the client with an Order to Show Cause to stay the foreclosure sale. Defending the foreclosure proceeding allows the client to assert any defenses they may have to the manner in which such foreclosure was initiated. A foreclosure defense also gives the client and our firm notice as to the status of the foreclosure proceeding and prolongs the proceeding. In some instances a client may have a strong defense, which may cause a foreclosure action to be dismissed.
