It is no secret that the status of the American economy has caused hardships across our great nation. Many individuals and families are now facing what once seemed the last thing they would have to contemplate, Bankruptcy and Foreclosure. For many people who have fallen seriously behind in their mortgage payments, Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the debt relief option most likely to help them stop foreclosure and save their homes.
At the Ercolani Law Group, our mission is to enhance the quality of life for our clients by implementing carefully planned legal strategies. Every situation is different, therefore, rather than urge you into a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, or some other solution that is the simplest choice, we’ll spend the necessary time with you to learn your situation inside and out, and then advise you of the option that best suits your needs and goals.

You may be able to talk to your bank about a home loan modification. Several federal loan modification programs exist, including the Home Affordable Modification Program (also known as the Obama Plan). We may be able to negotiate on your behalf with your bank for a mortgage modification to reduce your interest rate, reduce the principal, or extend the term of the loan.
The first consultation is free at the Ercolani Law Group. Your free consultation will give you a chance to get answers to your questions so you may make an informed, educated decision about your future. No matter what your decision — bankruptcy, settlement workout, foreclosure, and loan modification — we can help you end the financial struggle and get a fresh start.
