The selection of an attorney is an important decision and should only be made after you have interviewed licensed attorneys familiar with investment banking, securities, property law, consumer law, mortgages, foreclosures, and collection procedures. This site is dedicated to providing those services directly or indirectly through attorneys seeking guidance or assistance in representing consumers and homeowners. We are available to any lawyer seeking assistance anywhere in the country, U.S. possessions and territories. Neil Garfield is a licensed member of the Florida Bar and is qualified to appear as an expert witness or litigator in in several states including the district of Columbia. The information on this blog is general information and should NEVER be considered to be advice on one specific case. Consultation with a licensed attorney is required in this highly complex field.

Tallahassee, Florida. Memorial Day. GARFIELD, GWALTNEY, KELLEY AND WHITE has announced that any person who was or is in active military service — uniform or civilian — who has been the victim of wrongful foreclosure will be represented without payment or fees or costs. Federal Law prohibits such action until the person is out of active combat service. Thus all such foreclosure actions are wrongful regardless of the circumstances. Yet the Banks continue to violate this law with impunity, except for some minor settlements on those few foreclosures where they were caught red-handed.

This is my law firm, along with three very able partners with whom I am proud to join as partners — William Gwaltney, Danielle Kelley and Ian White — all veterans of the foreclosure wars and all licensed in Florida and admitted to the Federal Northern District and Central District. I am admitted to the Southern District and Bankruptcy Bar in the Southern District.

Over a million people as uniformed service and civilian contractors assigned to combat zones fall into the category of people against whom no action should be taken. While they risk life and limb and their sanity for this country the law prohibiting legal actions against them and their families is the obvious right thing to do, it is the law of the land, and the violation of it should be enforced aggressively. Most people in service are unaware they have this protection and when they receive a notice of foreclosure they think there is nothing they can do about it.

Anecdotal evidence across the country suggests that a majority of judges are unaware of this protection for the military and have summarily disregarded the law even when it is brought to their attention.

It is our firm’s position that it is the duty of every member of the Bar to offer this service which is easy to do and requires very little time. We would a happy to assist other attorneys, after they done the basic research, in enforcing this law and preventing the foreclosure of homes while some man or woman is ducking bullets and mortars and IED’s abroad.

The offer extends to all those who were or are in combat zones against whom foreclosure proceedings were commenced. It covers only stopping the foreclosure and does not cover any other defenses dozens of which have been detailed on this blog. The probability is that the debt has long since been paid off by co-obligors you knew nothing about — information that was illegally withheld from you at he loan closing.

The firm reserves the right to review all potential cases to determine whether the case qualifies for this offer — but all cases that DO qualify will be accepted. Veterans and active duty soldiers and civilians in and out of combat zones have many remedies that are unknown to them. We are not experts in all aspects of military law or civilian laws that protect active combat personnel. But we know about this one and we are going to do something about it.

OUR FIRM MISSION IS JUSTICE: To stop foreclosures and get compensation that is truly adequate for those who were tricked into fake mortgages or tricked into fake foreclosures.

OUR FIRM STRATEGY IS TO REVEAL THE TRUTH: To provide the highest level of legal services to the most people who have been defrauded, tricked and fooled into thinking they had attending a bona fide loan closing and who have been defrauded, tracked and fooled into thinking they deserve to have their home foreclosed. Most people think the loan closing was bona fide because the money showed up. They are most probably wrong. Most people think that they are in default because they know they stopped paying the servicer claiming rights to collect on their account. They too are most probably wrong.
