Brooklyn, NY

Petroff Amshen LLP, a law firm based in Brooklyn, NY, is a reliable advocate in foreclosure defense, bankruptcy, credit repair, and commercial litigation. With over 16 years of experience, the firm is dedicated to challenging and dismantling unfair banking and lending practices to protect homeowners and consumers.

In their current practice, Petroff Amshen defends a Brooklyn homeowner against banks with well-established experience in severe violations of federal and state consumer protection laws. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, accuses these financial giants of mishandling the plaintiff's mortgage account and engaging in a pattern of fraudulent and unethical practices.

Mrs. Smith brings this action in response to the mishandling of her mortgage loan account, finance charges and other fees added unjustly burdened with at least $20,928.70 in fees and late charges, $185,617.05 in inflated escrow advances, and $61,377.52 in questionable attorneys’ fees. These charges are not only excessive but also frequently duplicated and unjustified.

Mrs. Smith has owned her property since December 28, 2000. She initially took out a $300,000 adjustable-rate mortgage loan on February 28, 2005.

Petroff Amshen has filed this case in court seeking damages arising under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”). Among the complaints against the defendants are:
