Who best qualifies for a loan modification?

Carl E. Person

The person who best qualifies for a loan modification agreement in New York is somebody that is asking for a very slight change and who is capable of paying everything that they promise in the new agreement to pay. But that is not what people want who are facing a huge increase in the monthly payment. They want a huge decrease in the monthly payment. Somewhere between a small amount and a huge amount of decrease is where the negotiations lie. The bank may only be willing to reduce it by $750 a month and the borrower may want a $1,500 reduction per month, so if they can't reach an agreement then court will be the one, once the bank goes into court and you file an answer defending the foreclosure action, the bank is more apt to accept the more onerous agreement. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Can I be arrested for drug paraphernalia but no drugs in Arizona?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

In Arizona, you can be arrested for having drug paraphernalia, even if you don't have the actual substance. What the police and what the state will intend to prove is that there is some amount of residue of the actual substance on the drug paraphernalia, that can be included on a pipe, that can be as little as a very small amount of marijuana in a marijuana cigarette. The state will charge a drug paraphernalia charge as a class six felony or a class one misdemeanor, both of which could carry anywhere of a sentence from six months in jail to a year in prison. Arizona takes these crimes very seriously. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over the state of Arizona in criminal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

How long do car accident lawsuits usually take?

Shandell, Blitz, Blitz & Ashley, LLP

If you're in an automobile accident here in New York, the amount of time your case takes depends often on the case itself. How complicated is it? Is it a two car accident? Is it a 17 car accident? That affects how long the case takes. And you have to keep in mind that here in New York, once you say that you're ready for your trial, depending on what county you're in, the case takes a different amount of time. There are some counties when you say you're ready for your trial, you can have your trial in six months. There's others where it takes 18 months. So you can't really predict how long any individual automobile case takes. Hello, my name is Mitchell Ashley of Shandell-Blitz, Blitz, and Ashley.

Why is elder abuse becoming more common?

Bisnar Chase LLP

Elder abuse in California, and throughout the nation is a huge problem and its getting bigger everyday, it's getting bigger everyday because there are more elders. The companies who run elder facilities are for-profit facilities, and the way they can make more money, is by shorting the staff, so what happens is the amount of staff that is in nursing homes is usually much less then there should be, and much less than it takes to take care of the elderly people.

Steven E. North

The time from when the client walks into the door until the proceeds of the case are distributed is ordinarily between three and four years. It's a function of the availability of the court, the number of cases in the courts, the particular county where the action was brought and the complexity of the case - the amount of time that's necessary to do discovery, to find out all the elements of the case and to try them if the case needs to be tried.

What is a loan modification?

Carl E. Person

In New York, as in other states, a loan modification is where the bank and the borrower reach an agreement, which generally reduces the monthly payment that the borrower has to make.

What is a mortgage kicker?

Carl E. Person

A mortgage kicker is what I see as an extra amount of income that the lender can expect down the line without the borrow realizing it, often. And that is that, if the lender recognizes that the borrower probably is going to be in default, and the bank will then be able to get the property back, the bank will also charge a lot of extra legal fees, a higher rate of interest, and then the bank will resell the property to comeone else, another victim, and go through the same thing again, and that's like a kicker, an equity kicker, for the bank. I'm Carl Person, I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Why doesn't the FDA remove harmful drugs from the market?

Law Offices of James Sokolove, LLC

On all these matters that we are talking about, whether we are talking about fen-phen or gadolinium or any of these pharmaceuticals that are having problems in the market, the difficulty is that the FDA has a tremendous amount of staff and goes through tremendous process to decide whether something should be allowed on the market. The difficulty is that once its on the market, the FDA does not have enough staff to monitor if there are events to see if these medications should be pulled off the market. The pharmaceuticals have such power with the FDA that the consumer does really not have a fair chance. Thus, the FDA is not a real watchdog we can rely on right now. I'm attorney Jim Sokolove.

What is an auto defect lawsuit?

Bisnar Chase LLP

With regard to the difference between an auto accident case and an auto defect case, its very important to have an experienced lawyer that does auto defect cases to figure out the difference. If you're in an auto accident case, you typically are only going to be able to recover whatever the applicable insurance policy limits are on the person that caused the accident. That could be as low as $15,000. However, if an experienced lawyer is looking at the case they may note that a defect in the vehicle actually caused the injury and then you should have an auto products liability case and recover the full amount of damages you're entitled to. Hi, my name is Brian Chase. I'm a partner with Bisnar / Chase in Newport Beach, California. Our law firm specializes in personal injury litigation, helping accident victims since 1978.

Can I prevent a foreclosure from happening to me in NY?

Carl E. Person

Whether a borrower can actually stop a fore closer forever depends on the facts so that I can't say across the board that a borrower that defends a fore closer is going to win. The victory in many cases is the delay that the borrower needs to be to get his or her own act together and be able to force the bank to accept less money and that is something that at a lower rate of interest the borrower would be able to do and that would bring the property back to performing. The bank wants the property to perform, the borrower wants to remain in the property, the borrower wants to pay a reasonable amount, and this is what a fore closer action and an adequate defense can achieve for all the parties.

Proner & Proner

After you’re involved in a car accident in New York, the insurance adjuster that contacts you and wants to take a statement is looking to protect their interest, not yours. And when they take that statement, they’re trained to get you to make admissions, against your interest because that will help them to minimize the payments that they make on these claims. The best thing you can do is to tell them you have an attorney, and then the attorney will get the facts straight with them before you say anything that’s going to minimize the amount of money that you’re entitled to after your accident.

How much does a car accident attorney cost in New York?

After a car accident in New York State, most attorneys that handle this type of work will do it on a contingency fee basis, where they will get paid at the end of your claim a percentage, normally a third in New York State of the ultimate recovery. That’s after paying the expenses, they get their third. Normally, they are going to increase the ultimate recovery far more than their third which is going to end up in a greater amount of money in your pocket then if you tried to handle the case on your own.

What is a loan modification?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

Well, a loan modification is just that. It's a modification of the terms of the existing loan. The borrower stays in the same loan, but the terms are changed. Typically, we're dealing with an interest rate reduction where the interest rate is lowered to bring the payment down. Another way the loan can be modified is by extending the terms, so a thirty year loan can be made into a forty year loan to bring the payment down a little bit more that way as well. Another common thing that we're starting to see is principal reductions, where the actual amount that the borrower owes is lowered by sometimes tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes a hundred thousand dollars to get the price of the monthly payment down to a point where the borrower can actually afford the payment.

How will a loan modification help me keep my house?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

A loan modification can help you keep your house because it can get you back on the track of making your mortgage payment every month. It really is going to help the borrower who is in default and is several months behind on their loan, get back in the position where they can afford the monthly payment. And usually this is only a couple hundred dollars, maybe a thousand dollars. If we can get that payment down by that amount, the borrower should be able to make the payment. Most of these borrowers have gone into default because they've gotten themselves into these adjustable rate mortgages that have just adjusted a little bit too high for their monthly budget. If we bring it back in a little bit then they should be able to get back on track and stay current. My name's Damion Nassiri. I'm partner in the law firm Howard Nassiri.

Debt settlement or bankruptcy in California?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, it's going to depend on the individual consumer's situation as to whether they should enroll in a debt settlement program, or whether they should declare bankrupcy. Certainly, if someone doesn't have a lot of disposable income, or any disposable income, to make the monthly payments necessary to be in a debt settlement program, and if they have an insurmountable amount of unsecured debt, then bankrupcy may be the way to go. But keep this in mind - with the change in the new bankrupcy's laws, it's not like it used to be, where you filed bankrupcy and, that's it, my hands are wiped clean of it. With the new bankrupcy laws, you may still have to be in a repayment program, just like you would in a debt settlement program. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard Nassiri.
