According to this recent story from the New York Times, court rules are being written that would guarantee free legal representation to homeowners facing foreclosure in New York. Local foreclosure advocates also have warned about too many area residents trying to save their homes without lawyers. Two local support programs, the Foreclosure Answer Clinic, and a voluntary court mediation program, were designed to address that concern. Voluntary lawyers from the State Bar and UW-Madison law students may help with those programs.
