Help When You Have Been a Victim of Foreclosure Rescue Fraud
In the current housing market, with foreclosures mounting every day, consumers can be especially vulnerable to misrepresentation or fraud by individuals or enterprises promising relief from foreclosure. Often, the "foreclosure rescue specialist" will find a buyer and a loan, telling you that you will receive the money necessary to pay off your mortgage. In the process, they will take most or all of the equity from your home in a huge fee, a practice known as "equity skimming" or "equity stripping." Though many states, such as Virginia, have passed laws to protect against this practice, it can still be difficult to recover compensation without a lawyer, as the foreclosure rescue companies are skilled at moving money around and making it difficult to find.
Attorney Lopatto aggressively protects the rights of homeowners who have been taken advantage of by these types of enterprises. He knows the laws governing foreclosure rescue fraud and how to demonstrate to a court that you have been the victim of fraud or misrepresentation.
Attorney Lopatto handles most foreclosure rescue fraud claims on a contingent fee basis. He will only charge attorney fees if he recovers compensation for your losses.
