Practice Areas Description

Our practice includes:

- Real Estate

For homeowners and commercial investors alike, real property transactions represent significant investments of time, money, and resources. When financial circumstances put that property at risk, protecting the home or other property from foreclosure becomes one of the most important legal concerns an owner can have. Our lawyers can help protect your real estate interests via:

* Foreclosures

Foreclosure process begins by service of legal documents against the homeowner. At this point you should seek legal help immediately. Many homeowners are so distraught by this action, that they forget the need to answer the foreclosure complaint and assert all counterclaims against the plaintiff that are available under mortgage foreclosure laws. This may cause a major setback in the case, because defenses and counterclaims may be waived forever if not properly presented. Petroff Law has the best foreclosure defense lawyers to fight against banks, investors, and servicing companies that will attempt to take your home. We fight foreclosure complaints in foreclosure actions in all of New York counties.

* Mortgage Modifications

Petroff Law mortgage modification attorneys handle pre-foreclosure and imminent default cases. Experienced mortgage modification attorney will evaluate your unique financial circumstances, assess the best home mortgage modification strategy, and submit entire modification package to lender, servicer, or investor to modify your residential home mortgage. We offer mortgage modification help to clients that experience hardship and are behind on mortgage payments regardless of their mortgage amount. Our firm will fight for home mortgage relief for all homeowners both jumbo mortgages and regular mortgages alike.

* Forbearance Agreements

Petroff Law will successfully negotiate terms and length of forbearance, as well as deferment of repayment. In some instances, the need to repay the arrears will be extinguished by our negotiators. Our firm works on our client's best option, and all cases are approached individually. In the myriads of banks, loan servicers, and investors we present our client's case in the most professional and direct manner. If you suffer temporary hardship such as loss of employment, temporary disability, or momentary disease then forbearance will serve you right.

* Short Sales

In this age of rising home prices and falling home values, many distressed homeowners find themselves underwater or upside-down on their mortgage, owing more than the property is worth. In some cases, the best option may be to leave the property and look for a better deal. In these circumstances, we negotiate with the bank or mortgage holder to accept a short sale in lieu of foreclosure, thereby protecting the borrower's credit rating for future real estate transactions.

- Personal Injury

Persons who are injured due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of others are entitled to recover compensation for the property damage, physical harm, and emotional distress that has been inflicted upon them. Recoverable damages include present and future medical expenses, wages lost due to treatment, recovery, or long-term disability, and compensation for the pain and suffering endured by the victim. A wide variety of incidents can give rise to personal injury claims, including:

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car and truck drivers owe a duty to drive with reasonable care and competence. Aggressive or reckless driving creates a risk of harm to the driver and all others on the road. When facing a claim, a common insurance company defense tactic is to try to shift blame for the accident onto the injured plaintiff. Yet even if a court assigns the majority of blame to the plaintiff, the injured party can still recover for that portion of the injury that is attributable to the other party's actions. At the Petroff Law Firm, we are dedicated to ensuring that defendants are held accountable for their actions and liable for the damages they have caused.

- Workplace Accidents

Workers' compensation claim is generally the first recourse for an injury sustained in the workplace. Through this system, the employee may recover a statutory amount without having to sue the employer. However, where a third party is to blame for causing the accident, such as by providing dangerously defective equipment or facilitating unsafe premises, the law allows the injured worker to sue the negligent third party for damages. The attorneys at the Petroff Law Firm work closely with their clients to identify every possible avenue for recovery.

- Catastrophic Injuries

Workplace injuries and motor vehicle accidents often result in catastrophic harm, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), burn injuries, permanent paralysis such as paraplegia or quadriplegia from a spinal cord injury, and multiple fractures or loss of limbs. Injuries of this nature often cause long-lasting or lifetime impairments, and the time, cost, and emotional toll of treatment and recovery can be considerable. Our attorneys understand what it takes to prepare and present a complete case to the insurance company or the jury, and we work diligently to secure a fair and adequate settlement or verdict for our seriously injured clients.
