Illegal Foreclosure Petition Guide
Summary
You have a significant case involving illegal foreclosure and usury violations in Massachusetts. Fraudulent signing and excessive interest rates are key issues. Massachusetts law prohibits interest rates over 20%, and misrepresentation during signing can invalidate contracts. Consider filing a complaint with regulatory authorities or seeking a second legal opinion. You can sue attorneys for fraud on the court if you have evidence. For securities fraud claims, establish misrepresentation, material fact, intent, reliance, and damages. Attorneys often work on a contingency fee basis. Prepare a detailed cover letter for potential legal representation. You can pursue damages instead of property return, but overlapping claims may affect recovery. Consider keeping the appeal for leverage or request a stay to manage case timing.Full Conversation
