If foreclosure is threatening your future, one local group wants you to know you donâ??t have to fight it alone.
A recent sample of court filings shows that in 85 percent of foreclosure cases in Dane County, the homeowner doesnâ??t have a lawyer, according to a news release this week from the Dane County Foreclosure Prevention Taskforce. But that could change soon.
Starting tomorrow and continuing on the first and third Thursday of every month, a free legal clinic staffed by volunteer lawyers and law students will be open in Madison from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Room 310 of the City-County Building, 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Sponsored by the taskforce along with the Dane County Bar Association and UW-Madisonâ??s Law School, the Foreclosure Answer Clinic is for homeowners who have been served with a foreclosure lawsuit, and they should bring their summons and complaint with them, organizers said.
