In the United States, a home is foreclosed every 30 seconds^*

You can be there to stop it.

Introducing the most expansive area of law combining important social reform and promising legal opportunity–foreclosure defense advocates…

You can be one of the many attorneys banding together in the fastest growing, r/evolutionary grassroots movement to educate, inspire, and motivate homeowners to protect their rights. At the National Association of Foreclosure Defense Advocates (NAFDA), we are committed to seeking justice for American homeowners by transforming the mortgage and home financing industry to better serve us all.

Be the balance in an unbalanced system.

There is a massive wave of foreclosures sweeping the country—and there is no end in sight. In fact, conservative estimates indicate that another eleven million homeowners will lose their homes in the near future.  Financial pundits and government officials alike decry the “great recession” as a direct result of predatory lending practices and the subsequent securitization of an unprecedented number of real estate loans. The current predatory, imbalanced, and skewed banking climate affects every single American, so this is your chance to help the system evolve.

The most sorely affected are homeowners who are stuck in homes that have lost 30 to 50 percent of their value and are now facing foreclosure.

Banks are taking advantage of homeowners

In the past, if homeowners defaulted on their loans, it was in the best interest of the banks to work out options for home retention. Today, this is not the case. Not only are the banks directly responsible for the foreclosure crisis, but they are actually profiting from it. The truth is, the banks have a financial interest in homeowners defaulting on their loans—and they even make bigger profits when it happens.

For banks, it is not enough to get paid from a default—they want to foreclose and sell the home as well.

It is no coincidence that banks have posted record gains in the last two years, right in the middle of the mortgage crisis. Their secret is the double dip. Banks that have already been paid as a result of selling a home loan to an investor turn around and foreclose on that same home. By profiting in this way, banks create an economic crisis that guarantees them record profits while consumers suffer and the economy is driven into the ground.

At NAFDA we believe that these banks are exploiting homeowner’s faith in the system while breaking numerous laws in the process.

Banks must be held accountable

Banks, and the foreclosure machine that supports them, steamroll over homeowner rights by unlawfully forcing individuals and families out of their homes. The only way to stop these illegal tactics is to force the banks into court and compel them to prove that they have a legal right to the property—in most cases they don’t. If they made a profit by selling the original note on the loan, then they no longer have an interest in the property and it is improper for them to foreclose.

Attorneys are the real regulators

“Boots on the ground” attorneys have always been the real regulators of big business.  It’s been the entrepreneurial attorneys who have taken on the automotive companies, the chemical companies, the pharmaceutical companies, and any other industry that has evolved for the better. And most often, it is the enterprising local law firm that can recognize an injustice and immediately take the necessary steps to right the wrong.

Recently, attorneys who recognize the problems created by predatory lending practices and the securitization of mortgage loans have been forging legal paths to save their clients’ homes, and hold the very banks who are taking advantage of the situation accountable.

But the valiant efforts of a few cannot possibly stem the tide of the unlawful foreclosures besieging homeowners. It’s time to create a network of legal advocates who work to establish solid and progressive case law. And this is your opportunity to be a part of that community.

A rare opportunity

With millions of foreclosures and only a few dozen trained litigators across the country, the opportunity to help homeowners is vast. Thousands of attorneys will be required in this effort to curb the unethical business practices of the mortgage industry banks and Wall Street.
