The Nassau County Bar Association (NCBA) Mortgage Foreclosure Assistance Program is proud to host its 250th Clinic on Monday, June 6 from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM at the NCBA headquarters located at 15th & West Streets, Mineola, NY 11501.
Nassau County residents who are struggling with mortgage issues are invited to attend the free clinic to consult with a volunteer attorney to get their legal questions answered. “The Mortgage Foreclosure Assistance Project is proud to celebrate this tremendous milestone in direct service to the community. Our clinics have helped thousands of homeowners and tenants understand their rights and options in trying to retain their homes,” said attorney Director Madeline Mullane.
Attorneys who participate in the Mortgage Foreclosure clinic are providing one-time free counsel. However, they do not provide further legal representation. Bilingual attorneys are available upon request. “Our volunteers continue to be integral to our Project, devoting their time and efforts to assisting with these clinics and providing vital information to clients in distress. The project remains committed to providing these services as we continue to navigate through uncertain economic times,” said attorney Director Madeline Mullane.
Attendees dealing with mortgage foreclosure may be able to obtain ongoing legal and/or housing counseling services for free from a HOPP agency, funded by the New York State Attorney General’s office to assist homeowners. They may also be referred to the NCBA Lawyer Referral Information Service for other legal issues related to the foreclosure.
In addition to the 250th clinic, the NCBA Mortgage Foreclosure Project hosts multiple clinics per year. Advanced registration is required.
