1 – What This Page Is

What this page is (and isn’t)

This page is an information and referral hub, not a promise of representation.

Here you’ll find:

  • Types of help that may exist in your area
  • Places to look for attorneys, legal aid, and nonprofits
  • Oversight and complaint channels you might not know about

We do not:

  • Act as your attorney
  • Guarantee that any person or organization will take your case
  • Endorse or certify any specific lawyer or group as “good” or “right” for you

We point you toward options and questions. The final decisions are always yours.

2 – How to Use This Page

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

3 – Types of Resources

3.1 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

3.2 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?

3.3 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:

3.4 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

4 – Optional Information Form (Light Intake)

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.

Share My Situation

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.

What best describes why you’re reaching out?
Your first name (optional)
Email address
(optional, but needed if you want any reply)
Stage of your situation
Do you currently have an attorney?
If you currently have counsel, please discuss any legal strategy with your attorney. Nothing on this site replaces their advice.
What seems most wrong in your situation? (select all that apply)
Limit to a few sentences.
Consent (required)

5 – Immediate Urgency Note

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 a licensed attorney in your state immediately
  • If you qualify, reach out to legal aid or housing-related nonprofits
  • 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.
