Expert guidance for homeowners facing foreclosure and lenders managing post-judgment Long Island assets — in one of the country's most complex foreclosure environments.
Discuss Your SituationNew York is a judicial foreclosure state — one of the most complex foreclosure environments in the country. Every residential foreclosure must proceed through the state court system, and New York averages approximately 2,000 days — roughly five and a half years — to complete the process from first filing to conclusion. This extended timeline creates specific challenges and specific opportunities for both homeowners and lenders.
