What this page is (and isn’t)
This page is an information and referral hub, not a promise of representation.
Here you’ll find:
Possible Help
Types of help that may exist in your area.
Presentable Resources
Places to look for attorneys, legal aid, and nonprofits.
Oversight & Complaints
Oversight and complaint channels you might not know about.
We do not:
We do not act as your attorney. We are not attorneys. We do not represent as attorneys.
Not Attorneys
We do not guarantee that any person or organization will take your case.
No Guarantees
We do not endorse or certify any specific lawyer or group as “good” or “right” for you.
No Endorsements
We point you toward options and questions. The final decisions are always yours.
How to use this page
A simple way to work through this:
1. Know your state and stage
Most resources are state-specific. Know where your case is filed and roughly what stage you’re at (threatened, active foreclosure, sale scheduled, post-sale, etc.).
2. Read the Resource Guides first
Before reaching out to anyone, review the Resources section of this site. You’ll find:
- Question lists you can bring to attorneys or legal aid
- Red flags to watch out for
- Ways to protect your energy and focus
3. Explore the categories below
Use the categories on this page as a map. You will likely need a combination of:
- Legal aid / nonprofit help
- Private attorneys
- Complaint channels and oversight
Types of Resources
1. Legal Aid & Nonprofit Help
Legal aid and nonprofit organizations
In many areas, legal aid organizations or housing nonprofits handle:
- Foreclosure defense for qualifying homeowners
- Emergency advice when a sale date is looming
- Referrals to other trusted organizations
2. Private Foreclosure / Consumer Attorneys
Private foreclosure and consumer attorneys
Private attorneys can sometimes take cases that legal aid can’t. When looking for one, consider:
- Do they handle foreclosure defense or consumer law regularly?
- Have they ever discussed service, standing, or assignment issues in their work?
- Do they listen when you describe your story, or do they rush you back into the default script?
3. Oversight & Complaint Channels
Oversight and complaint channels
Even if they don’t fix everything, complaint channels can:
- Create a record of the behavior
- Sometimes pressure servicers or entities to respond
- Give you documentation showing you tried to raise issues
This may include:
Federal consumer protection agencies
State Attorney General complaints
State banking or financial regulators
Judicial conduct or bar grievances
4. Education & Self-Study
Education and self-study
Some of the most powerful work you can do is private:
- Learning how your state’s foreclosure process works in general
- Reading case summaries that resemble your situation
- Studying guides on service, assignments, standing, and time limits
Optional information form (helps us build better referrals)
Filling out this form does not create any attorney–client relationship, and it is not a request for legal advice.
We may use what you share to:
- Suggest categories of resources that could be relevant
- Improve our public guides and educational materials
- In some cases, with your consent, share your information with potential attorneys or legal organizations so they can decide whether to contact you
We cannot promise any individual response.
Homeowner Intake & Contact
If you’re a homeowner facing foreclosure or repeated threats on the same loan, this is the primary way to contact us. Share what’s happening below so we can spot patterns, not just paperwork.
If you have an urgent sale date
If a foreclosure sale is already scheduled, do not wait for anyone from this site to contact you.
Contact Licensed Help Immediately:
Contact Attorney
Contact a licensed attorney in your state immediately.
Legal Aid
If you qualify, reach out to legal aid or housing-related nonprofits.
Hotlines
In some areas, there may be emergency hotlines or court-based help desks.
This site is here to support your understanding and your questions—not to act as emergency counsel.
