Law school's Mortgage Foreclosure Defense Clinic hosts workshop
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, Feb. 7, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the School's Riverfront Campus located at 651 East Jefferson Avenue in downtown Detroit. The event is one of a series that will be held this semester in conjunction with Foreclosure Defense Detroit, a grant project of UDM's third-year law student, Matthew Nicols.
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 struggling Detroit homeowners to learn about the foreclosure process, applicable laws, available legal defenses, possible alternatives to foreclosure, and preventative measures.
The workshops will also cater to homeowners seeking a modification to their mortgages and those who are only 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 your mortgagor, servicer, or foreclosing entity; and financial documents and proof of income, if they are seeking a modification. Homeowners who need additional information regarding the workshops may contact the Clinic at (313) 596-9846.
