Mortgage Enforcement Strategy Guide
Summary
In mortgage enforcement cases, when a substantive defense is lodged, review the defense carefully to identify key points. Consider retaining experienced counsel for complex matters and provide clients with a fee disclosure statement. Request clients to deposit funds in trust for anticipated legal fees. Gather evidence such as loan agreements and payment records. Prepare a detailed brief for counsel and develop a legal strategy addressing each defense point. Ensure compliance with court procedures, including filing documents and attending hearings. For trial preparation, organize evidence, prepare witnesses, and formulate legal arguments. Consider mock trials to rehearse presentations. Negotiation with the borrower may help avoid prolonged litigation.Full Conversation
