ARE WE ABOUT TO HAVE AN AVALANCHE?

Nearly four million owner-occupied homes exist in New York State.  More than a million of those are in New York City.  Recent analysis estimates that between 75,000 and 135,000 homeowners are at risk of foreclosure within the coming year.  Many experts believe these numbers may be low due to decentralization of collection agencies and short staffing due to the pandemic. 

As Judge DiFiore said in her May 18, 2020 announcement regarding the current status of the courts, today is a milestone day for the NYS Court System. Read the full announcement here. 

The holiday season is upon us. The snow is already falling and the holiday invitations and obligations are filling up the calendar while visions of vacations in warm, far away places are dancing through our heads. The last thing busy attorneys want to do in December is worry about appearing in court or defending depositions with so many fun and exciting events to attend.
