Helping You Keep Your HomeI help homeowners keep and afford their homes - the two main way to do this for homeowners in the DC Metropolitan area is through a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy or through a HAMP loan modification.Unlike most bankruptcy attorneys, I file more Chapter 13 cases than Chapter 7 cases? Why? Because the only way to get rid of the second mortgage on your home is through a Chapter 13 filing. This is called a "lien strip" and, unless the law changes, it is only available in a Chapter 13 for homeowners in the DC area. So I do 13s because it is the only way to reduce a valid mortgage on your home in bankruptcy. Outside of bankruptcy, I use resources available under HAMP to lower mortgage payments. I am one of the few attorneys in the DC area who will do HAMP work, mainly because it is tough, daunting work due to bad faith actions on the part of a lot of mortgage banks. But I keep at it because I want to use all the tools available to help my clients afford and keep their homes.
