How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?

After representing lenders against homeowners for a time, it became readily apparent that homeowners where often unrepresented or poorly represented in motion practice concerning foreclosure issues. In this narrow area of the law, I knew we could make a difference in our clients' lives and assist the system in migrating toward more just results.

What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

In the context of foreclosure, the rules are very state-focused, so online generic research by a client is rarely on-point. Cases or analysis coming from Florida, Ohio or California rarely can be cross-applied to our jurisdiction. Despite this, I appreciate all input a client can provide on how to handle his or her own case. A client's gut feeling is often a great moral compass for finding and understanding the injustice that was done. Minnesota law is very specific and without an attorney who devotes his or her practice to these foreclosure issues, the law is hard to understand.
