Foreclosures

Facing foreclosure is more than just a legal issue—it’s emotional, stressful, and deeply personal. Whether you're struggling to keep up with mortgage payments, received a notice of default, or are already involved in court proceedings, know this: you are not alone, and there are options. At the Law Office of Maria R. Alaimo, we help individuals and families fight back against foreclosure and explore every possible path to protect what matters most—your home.

What Is Foreclosure?

Foreclosure is the legal process a lender uses to recover money when a borrower falls behind on their mortgage. In most cases, the lender asks the court for permission to repossess and sell your home to pay off the debt.

While this process is meant to protect lenders, many homeowners are left confused, overwhelmed, or taken advantage of—especially when banks act too quickly or fail to follow the law.


Common causes of foreclosure:

  • Job loss or reduced income
  • Medical bills or unexpected expenses
  • Divorce or loss of a partner
  • Adjustable-rate mortgage increases
  • Missed payments due to financial hardship
  • Errors or misconduct by lenders or servicers

Whatever your reason, it doesn’t define you—and it doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

Understanding Foreclosures -Protecting Your Home, Your Rights, and Your Peace of Mind

Foreclosure doesn’t just take your home—it can affect your credit, your sense of stability, and your future opportunities. Fighting back isn’t just about stopping a sale. It’s about protecting your dignity, your peace of mind, and your family’s foundation.

Your Legal Rights During Foreclosure

Many people believe that once foreclosure starts, there’s nothing they can do. That’s simply not true.

As a homeowner, you have legal rights that must be respected throughout the foreclosure process. You may be able to:

  • Challenge improper foreclosure filings
  • Halt proceedings through bankruptcy or loss mitigation
  • Negotiate a loan modification or forbearance
  • Defend against lender misconduct or fraud
  • Stay in your home while fighting back

With the right legal help, foreclosure doesn’t have to mean eviction.
