We understand our client’s goals and therefore we successfully resolve most cases via settlement that results in a performing asset or liquidation.

In addition to defensive matters, WFZ also specializes in mortgage fraud recovery, helping our clients recover mortgage losses caused by originator, broker or appraiser fraud and negligence. These types of actions include enforcing repurchase obligations and, in some instances, obtaining a pre-judgment Writ of Attachment on a company’s assets.

WFZ also regularly handles affirmative actions for judicial foreclosure, deficiency judgments, title curative and receiverships. In some instances, we put a receiver in place to prevent rent skimming or other fraud, in order to cut the income stream which decreases the incentive to cause unwarranted delay.
