Guidance

some guidance outside the scope of your three questions. Remember that all issues discussed should be referred to your local counsel before you make any decision or take any action. In fact it is advisable to have your local counsel on the CONSULT call.

Getting our TERA service beforehand will help focus the CONSULT to your specific case. You might also enhance the benefit by ordering a Preliminary Document Review where he looks at unrecorded documents. Here are just some sample questions that are frequently asked, in no particular order:

  • How likely is it that I will lose my home?
  • What can I do about it?
  • How can I settle or modify?
  • What are my chances of success if I do something now?

Neil will share his thoughts on your specific case in a recorded CONSULTATION. You will receive the audio file and you can have it transcribed into a word document to cut and paste into pleadings, motions, and memoranda.”

Prelitigation Advice and Proactive Legal Actions
in Foreclosure Cases

Neil F Garfield, MBA JD: describes the issues presented to the general practitioner, bankruptcy lawyer and trial counsel when first presented with a client who fears Foreclosure on their Homestead. The client intake process is described in detail along with the responsibilities of the attorney to render advice based upon research and investigation. This course takes the viewer through various options for passive and proactive strategies and tactics that are likely to save home ownership.

Enforcement starts with claims of authority to administer, collect and enforce the alleged debt. It follows, therefore that if those claims are false, the time to confront them is at the earliest possible time.

Neil F Garfield, a Florida attorney and investment banker, presents the results of 16 years of research, analysis, trial appearances, expert witness presentations, and CLE presentations. In this modified course presentation, he focuses on the duties of lawyers who use or oppose assignments of mortgage, and the methods that can be used to perform expert analysis.

Since 2008, GTC Honors, Inc. has been an approved host provider for CLE (for lawyers) credits in Florida and 26 other states that allow reciprocal credits for licensed attorneys.

A short Q&A session is included — but it is not an opportunity to seek legal opinions on specific cases. It will be followed up with a conference call 2 weeks after the presentation. The presentation will be live on 11/19/21 at 4 PM EDT or on-demand. On-demand sessions will be available after the live presentations at the price of $95.
