The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law’s Mortgage Foreclosure Defense Clinic will host a free consultation and legal workshop for Detroit homeowners facing foreclosure on Thursday, February 7 at the school’s Riverfront Campus in downtown Detroit.
The event, from 4-7 p.m., is one in a series scheduled this semester in conjunction with Foreclosure Defense Detroit, a grant project of UDM’s third-year law student Matthew Nicols.
The campus is located at 651 E. Jefferson Ave.
Foreclosure Defense Detroit’s primary goal is to provide free legal advice to low income homeowners facing foreclosure through the UDM Law Mortgage Foreclosure Defense Clinic.
During the free legal workshops, there will be a presentation for homeowners to learn about the foreclosure process, applicable laws, available legal defenses, possible alternatives to
foreclosure and preventative measures.
The workshops will also focus on homeowners seeking a modification to their mortgages and those seeking general information about the process.
Several Detroit and Oakland County housing counselors will be present for homeowners seeking a modification to their mortgages.
Clinic faculty, students, and housing counselors will be available after the presentations to meet privately with homeowners seeking assistance regarding their individual cases.
Homeowners are asked to bring with them supporting documents, such as copies of mortgage and/or loan documents, any and all foreclosure notices and other legal documents, copies of correspondence from a mortgagor, servicer or foreclosing entity along with financial documents and proof of income from someone is seeking a modification.
Homeowners who need additional information regarding the workshops may contact the UDM Law Mortgage Foreclosure Defense Clinic at (313) 596-9846.
The clinic involves UDM Law students, working under the supervision of licensed attorneys/faculty members, who represent victims of predatory lending practices in federal and state courts to stop homeowners from losing their homes due to foreclosure.
Clinic students handle cases involving mortgage fraud, foreclosure rescue scams and loan servicing errors.
