Even after foreclosure, your lender can come after you for the money they lost in the transaction. If you owed more on the mortgage than the property sold for at foreclosure auction, the lender can sue you for the difference. For example, if there was a principal balance of $500,000 remaining on the loan, but the home sold for $300,000 in the foreclosure auction, your lender could sue you for $200,000. Our foreclosure attorneys help California consumers fight deficiency judgment cases even if they’ve already lost the property to foreclosure.

For most homeowners, losing a property to foreclosure is stressful and frustrating enough. Deficiency judgments typically come just as consumers think that they are getting back on their feet, and can cause another serious setback. Even though your house has already been foreclosed on, you may have a way to stop the deficiency judgment when you hire an attorney. While the strategies vary depending on the case, situation, and timeline, our attorneys are able to assess and provide you with clear instructions on how you should proceed.

We work with each client on a one-to-one basis so that we can help them develop a winning strategy. This process starts with a free consultation over the phone or in person with one of our California foreclosure attorneys at our Los Angeles office. Once we determine that you have a case and viable defense, we can discuss any fees that would be associated with moving forward with hiring our firm.
