Our firm recently obtained the dismissal of a foreclosure case that Deutsche Bank brought against our client. We alleged that the bank had failed to prosecute the action.

In an article published in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Jaime Lathrop looks at his work helping Brooklyn homeowners sued by their lenders in foreclosure proceedings.
Justices have been struggling with the problem of homeowners who try to reinstate or modify their delinquent loans while the lender continues with an action in foreclosure.

Foreclosures resulting from subprime and predatory lending have dominated the economic, political and legal headlines in recent months. To this critical and complex initiative, the VLP is pleased to announce the appointment of Jaime Lathrop.
New multifamily homeowners in New York City, denied justice in the Housing Court, turn to foreclosure prevention companies in desperation and end up losing their homes.
