Nassau Bar Helps With Foreclosure Filings
Lawyers to volunteer their time on Aug. 17.
According to www.realtytrac.com, 103 Syosset homes are currently in mortgage default. To help residents caught in the growing mortgage foreclosure crisis, volunteer attorneys will be available to answer their questions at a free clinic sponsored by the Nassau County Bar Association on August 17, 2010, 3-6 p.m. at the NCBA headquarters, 15th and West streets in Mineola.
Reservations are required by calling the Bar Association at 516-747-4070 between 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Attendees are asked to bring their mortgage documents to the clinic. In addition, Spanish-speaking attorneys will be on hand at the clinic to assist Spanish-speaking homeowners.
In addition to meeting one-on-one with a volunteer attorney, housing counselors from the Nassau County Homeownership Center and representatives from Nassau/Suffolk Law Services–which provides free legal services for those who meet certain income guidelines–are on hand to provide assistance.
