At 6 PM Eastern daylight Time I will host the twice monthly teleconference for members of the living lies blog. We are going to start adding guests more frequently than we had done in the past. Tonight we have Danielle Kelley who is an attorney in Tallahassee Florida and has been frequently quoted in mainstream media over the last few days regarding corruption of the modification process for mortgage loans under HAMP and other programs. She is also challenging foreclosures resulting from alleged “defaults” that only occurred because the bank or its representative told the borrower that they must stop paying if they want to be considered for a modification. It is a trick that has landed many people in foreclosure instead of modification.
Danielle Kelley is a partner in the law firm of Garfield, Gwaltney, Kelley and White with offices in Tallahassee and Fort Lauderdale.
The teleconference is only for paying members of the blog. If you have not recently updated your credit card information with our Internet store you should do so now.
Questions submitted by email will get preference over questions that are presented orally. The format for tonight’s short monologue by me, an interview of Danielle Kelley, and then questions and answers.
As always we caution you not to use the information on tonight’s program as advice on your case even if it is in Florida where we are licensed. Small details changing the fact pattern of each case would very likely change the tactics or strategy and certainly change the advice given to any client. Before you act or decide not to act based upon something you heard on our program or that you read on our blog you should first consult with a licensed attorney who is practicing in the geographical area and jurisdiction in which the property is located.
