Your home is likely your most significant asset, and if you’re like most homeowners, you’ve made monthly mortgage payments for years to eventually make it your own. When unexpected circumstances such as a job loss or medical emergency occur, and you can’t make those payments on time, it can put your home at risk of foreclosure. It’s important to know there are steps you can take to keep your home or sell it while limiting your loss. Boyer Coffy, LLC represents homeowners in the Clifton area and throughout New Jersey who are at risk of having their homes foreclosed. Whether we challenge your lender in defending you against foreclosure or work with your mortgage company or bank to reach acceptable terms that benefit you, you can count on our counsel and advice.

If filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy offers you a better option for repaying your debt and keeping your house, we can guide you through the process.
In many cases, homeowners may be able to work with their lenders to avoid foreclosure. As skilled negotiators, we can clearly and effectively present your case to your mortgage company or bank so you can make use of these options:
