Petroff Amshen LLP is a New York consumer rights and foreclosure defense law firm, representing homeowners in state and federal courts since 2008. We are litigators. We do not send letters and hope.
A Bronx homeowner lost at the trial level when Supreme Court, Bronx County granted Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. summary judgment in a foreclosure. For many homeowners, that is where the case ends.
Petroff Amshen, with Senior Associate James Tierney, took the appeal. The firm argued that the lender's proof of the RPAPL 1304 90-day notice fell short. The notice had been mailed by a third-party vendor, Covius Services, LLC, and the affidavit offered did not establish that vendor's standard office mailing procedures. Mailing tracking numbers, the firm argued, are not by themselves proof that the notice was mailed.
In New York, a residential foreclosure depends on a valid 90-day notice under RPAPL 1304. The lender carries the burden to prove that notice was mailed. When the proof falls short, the judgment can be reversed on appeal.
I could not recommend a better group than Petroff Amshen. If you find yourself in a situation that requires the assistance of attorneys, this is the firm.
Petroff Amshen has helped us through a difficult process. They were very caring and explained everything as we went through the case.
An effective firm with a minimum of fuss. When you need attorneys who actually do the work, you need these guys on your side.
Petroff Amshen does not take every case. Submit the application and a licensed New York attorney will review the matter directly, including whether an appeal is still available.
