Foreclosure
Homes are foreclosed on more often than homeowners are aware. Foreclosures happen when mortgage payments are not made, and then the bank decides it would like to seize and sell the home to mitigate the payments owed to it. There are certain defenses that may be shown in ordinary proceedings, such as deficiencies during the procedural process.

Title disputes
Title disputes can be confusing for an average person. Often it starts out as a mistake, or a prior title was not recorded, and there is no record of it. In this instance, it is important to trace the title and passage of ownership as far and thoroughly as the system will allow to clear up the confusion. Title disputes could also involve instances where the property was surveyed, and perhaps a portion of the survey included property that belongs to another, but the portion was included as part of the property in the title. That is why ATJ is here for you, to clear up the issues and provide the counsel that you deserve.

Contractor Fraud
When you’re paying for a service to be done, such as building or renovating a home, the service is reduced to a contract. These contractors are bound by the signing of the contract that they will fulfill their obligations or notify you of any major changes. Sometimes contractors breach their obligations through some form of misrepresentation, false pretenses, or purposefully damaging property to increase work product and payments. It is important to document every issue as they arise and keep in close contact with the contractor in case you may have to present these issues in the court of law. If you have experienced a similar or particular situation involving contractor fraud, book your free consultation today, and find out how ATJ may be able to help.

Natural Disaster Claims
Natural disasters are not always easy to overcome, especially when your livelyhood and everything you worked for is potentially destroyed. Insurance companies provide policies to ensure coverage in the wake of unforeseen circumstances, such as flood, hail, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. It is the policyholder’s right to claim proceeds from the policy to restore or rebuild. When the insurance company under pays, refuses to pay, or delays, (depending on the circumstances), the policyholder may have claims for bad faith and to enforce payments for which they are entitled. If you or anyone you know has experienced a natural disaster and the insurance company has refused to provide adequate assistance, book a free consultation with ATJ.
