 TITLE: Should I Hire a Foreclosure Attorney? CONTENT: How to Find a Foreclosure Attorney\n----------------------------------\nOften, the best way to approach your case is to start with a HUD counselor. That way, you can get information specific to your state, organize what you'll need and get attorney recommendations. From there, check your state's website for more resources. You can usually find links to foreclosure attorneys and legal aid in the area, as well as links to pro bono and free consultation offers. Your local courthouse or state bar association can also offer references online or over the phone.\nOnce you hire a lawyer or schedule a consultation, be clear about your expectations from the start and offer them all the facts. Be sure to get critical questions answered, like whether you have a defense, which foreclosure alternatives they can help you with, and what they hope to accomplish with your case. END
