How these lawyers were chosen
- Active license with no public discipline shown on the State Bar of California record when we checked.
- The lawyer’s own website offers foreclosure help to homeowners. Firms that represent lenders, servicers or trustees are left out.
- An office in the San Diego area. At most two lawyers from one firm.
- Nobody pays to be listed, and we are paid nothing if you hire anyone here.
Questions to ask before you hire
- How many foreclosure cases like mine have you handled in this county?
- What will it cost, and what does that fee cover? Can I have the fee agreement in writing?
- What are my deadlines, and what will you file or send before each one?
- Will you be working on my case yourself, or someone else at the firm?
Lawyers may charge for legal work, including a retainer. Anyone who is not a lawyer and asks for money before getting you a written offer from your lender is a warning sign.
This list is general information, not a referral or an endorsement, and HowToAvoidForclosure.com is not a lawyer referral service. Check a lawyer’s license yourself before you hire. If you are a lawyer listed here and something is wrong, or you want your listing removed, tell us. For free counseling instead of a lawyer, call a HUD-approved housing counselor at (800) 569-4287.
