Since 1998, Legal Services NYC has assisted thousands of New York City homeowners facing foreclosure. With community-based foreclosure prevention projects in our Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island offices, our dedicated team of attorneys and advocates provides critical legal services against the rising tide of foreclosure cases filed in our City’s courts. LSNYC attorneys represent homeowners in foreclosure as well as in state and federal court litigation challenging predatory lending, abusive mortgage servicing and fair housing and lending violations. We represent NYC homeowners in court-mandated settlement conferences, provide legal advice and pro se assistance through court-based clinics, help clients negotiate loan modifications, and do policy advocacy on fair lending and real estate finance issues.
