Practice Areas / Real Estate

The Dunahoo Law Firm offers detailed consultation regarding potential real estate mortgage foreclosures and contract forfeitures. Early and extensive planning, once you're facing the startup of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings is essential in (1) trying to keep your home or (2) maximizing the time you can stay in your home before being evicted, or (3) minimizing any deficiency judgements you might owe after an eviction.

Bankruptcy can be used either (1) to keep your house in a Chapter 13 repayment plan or (2) to discharge or eliminate any default judgement in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy (if you either voluntarily surrender your home or are evicted).
