Introduction: Foreclosures and bankruptcies do not appear to be ending anytime soon.  The lenders, loan servicers and investors of securitzed loans are making things more difficult than ever on desparate homeowners.  SB94 passed in October 11, 2009 literally forcing brokers and attorneys out of the loss mitigation business and left California homeowners grasping for information about how to best take on these 5000 pound gorrillas.  Is there anything a conscientious lawyer can do to legally and ethically help these homeowners in financial distress and trying to save their homes from foreclosure?  YES THERE IS!  There are still a certain class of lawsuits that can and should be filed against financial institutions that willingly violate the state and federal rights of homeowners.  It is literally shocking to see the amount of abuses that go on, and if not identified, go unnoticed and unchallenged.  For example, foreclosure laws that are not followed, invalid substitution of trustees, selling homes while a modification was in effect, TILA rescission letters ignored, RESPA QWR's ignored, demands to identify the holder of the loan ignored, demands to agree to unwarranted deficiency judgments as part of the loss mitigation process, etc.  These are but a few of the things that are becoming somewhat typical in the foreclosure marketplace.  This foreclosure seminar will help the legal practitioner identify, assert, and stand up for the legal rights of their clients through civil lawsuits and bankruptcy actions.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA LAWYER LOOKING TO GET INTO THE FORECLOSURE DEFENSE BUSINESS, (OR A PRACTICING REAL ESTATE OR BANKRUPTCY LAWYER ALREADY HANDLING CASES IN THIS AREA), THIS SEMINAR SHOULD BE OF SIGNIFICANT VALUE TO YOU.  LEARN THE INSIGHTS ATTORNEY STEVE VONDRAN HAS LEARNED IN HIS TWO YEARS FIGHTING THE FORECLOSURE BATTLE.  LEARN THE TIPS, TRICKS, AND INSIGHTS STEVE VONDRAN HAS LEARNED, AND OBTAIN COPIES OF THE FORECLOSURE MATERIALS HE USES IN HIS DAILY BATTLE AGAINST THE LENDERS AND LOAN SERVICERS.
THE GOAL OF FORECLOSURE COLLEGE IS TO HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL ISSUES FACING YOUR CLIENTS, AND HELP YOU MORE EFFECTIVELY ADVOCATE ON THEIR BEHALF BY LEARNING TO SEPARATE THE FACT FROM THE FICTION, AND GOOD CASES FROM BAD.
