As foreclosure rates climb in New York, Petroff Amshen LLP offers legal protection through aggressive litigation and mortgage modifications - empowering homeowners with real alternatives to foreclosure.
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / As the number of foreclosure actions continue to rise across New York, Petroff Amshen LLP is calling attention to the legal solutions available to homeowners. With nearly two decades of experience in mortgage litigation, the firm reinforces its commitment to defending homeowners' rights and promoting sustainable alternatives to foreclosure - particularly through mortgage modifications.
The current economic landscape, rising interest rates, and an unpredictable job market have left many homeowners behind on their mortgage payments. While lenders push forward with foreclosure actions, legal options still exist - and they can be both powerful and effective.
"Many homeowners feel like they've run out of time or options, but foreclosure is not inevitable just because a payment has been missed," said Steven Amshen, Founding Partner of Petroff Amshen LLP. "We work to identify the legal and financial alternatives that protect the property, reduce risk, and give our clients room to breathe."
The Role of a Foreclosure Defense Attorney
A foreclosure defense attorney doesn't just delay the process - they take control of the case with a strong legal strategy. Petroff Amshen LLP represents clients throughout the litigation process, challenging improper documentation, exposing violations of mortgage servicing standards, and negotiating real solutions that preserve homeownership.
Foreclosure defense requires more than paperwork - it demands precision, timing, and deep knowledge of both New York law and federal mortgage regulations. Every case is different, but the firm's approach is consistent: protect the client, pressure the lender, and push for the best possible outcome.
"We don't offer quick fixes or generic advice," added Mr. Amshen. "We fight inside and outside of court to create leverage - and that leads to real results."
Mortgage Modification: A Viable Alternative to Foreclosure
Among the alternatives to foreclosure, one of the most effective is mortgage modification, also referred to as a loan modification. This process restructures the terms of the existing loan, making it more affordable and sustainable for the homeowner. It may involve a lower interest rate, an extended repayment period, or even principal forgiveness - depending on the circumstances and lender's cooperation.
Petroff Amshen LLP helps homeowners pursue mortgage modifications while protecting them against oppressive legal tactics by the banks and their servicers. These negotiations are not simply financial - they require legal support to ensure that homeowners' rights are respected and that the modification agreement is enforceable.
"Mortgage modification can be a lifeline, but it must be pursued strategically and with proper legal backing," said Mr. Amshen. "It is a great tool to stop foreclosures entirely in many cases."
Beyond Delay: Defending Your Financial Future
When handled properly, foreclosure defense is not just about delaying a court date - it's about building a solid foundation for financial recovery and continued success. Petroff Amshen LLP works closely with each client to evaluate their case, develop a legal roadmap, and explore every available solution.
Some of the firm's recent achievements include:
Preventing auctions by challenging defective foreclosure filings
Securing mortgage modifications that reduced monthly payments by up to 50%
Dismissing foreclosure actions due to improper notice or document errors
Having mortgages voided entirely
These outcomes are the result of legal action - not financial counseling. That distinction matters when a home is online.
