When you are facing a foreclosure it can be scary to go through the process alone. In some cases it can be difficult to win your case without savvy legal representation. As you begin looking for an attorney to handle your foreclosure case, it is important to choose someone who you feel comfortable developing a relationship with. It is also important to pick a foreclosure defenseattorney based on the following factors.

Experience: When you meet with attorneys you must ask each one the type of experience that they have representing clients who are facing foreclosure. Have they handled a situation like yours successfully? How many foreclosure clients have they represented? Do they feel that a positive outcome can be reached in your case? By establishing the experience level of the attorney, you can better gauge who is the right fit for your case.

Cost: Another important factor for selecting a foreclosure defense attorney is how much his/her services will cost and how they expect to be paid. Attorneys typically charge a flat fee, hourly rate, or monthly rate. Pick an attorney whose payment options fit with your timeline and whose pricing matches your budget.

Communication: During your foreclosure, you will want regular updates about the progress of your case. Your attorney should clearly establish how they will communicate with you and how often. You should also feel comfortable reaching out to your attorney with any questions or concerns you may have.
