Jersey City foreclosure defense and real estate attorney

Jersey City is the county seat and the largest city in Hudson County, with everything from Downtown and Journal Square condos to two- and three-family homes in Greenville, the Heights, and Bergen-Lafayette. [Add one or two sentences on why Jersey City homeowners call David: neighborhoods he knows, languages spoken, proximity to the courthouse.]

Local knowledge that matters

The courthouse that hears contested Hudson County foreclosures is in Jersey City itself, at 583 Newark Avenue near Journal Square, and the sheriff's sales take place a block away at 595 Newark Avenue. That proximity means court appearances, mediation sessions, and sale adjournment requests can be handled quickly.

Sheriff's sales for every Hudson County property are held on Thursdays, usually twice a month, at 2:00 PM in the County Administration Building at 595 Newark Avenue, Jersey City. The Sheriff's Foreclosure Office is at 257 Cornelison Avenue, Room 2001. Homeowners are entitled by statute to two adjournments of up to 30 days each, and have 10 days after the sale to redeem or object.

Jersey City's large stock of multi-family homes raises issues that single-family owners never see: rental income in loan modification applications, tenant rights during foreclosure, and partition disputes between co-owners. David handles all three.

Free local resources David often coordinates with: the New Jersey Foreclosure Mediation Program (requested through the court within 60 days of service), HUD-certified housing counseling through the Waterfront Project in Jersey City, and the NJ Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency hotline at (855) 647-7700.
