As a pillar of its practice, Petroff Amshen LLP acts in pursuit of ethical justice, ensuring the rights of its clients through the years. These activities have included regulatory advocacy and legislative support for stronger consumer financial protections, and they are now ready to start litigation against abusive loan servicers and banks. "We're committed to getting them the justice and compensation they deserve after long years of continuous struggles over their homes," said Steven Amshen, the firm's lead partner.
With almost two decades of experience, Petroff Amshen LLP has observed that even when agreements are reached, banks often sneak in unfair and undisclosed charges. Therefore, in their rush to save their homes, homeowners end up accepting these terms without fully understanding what they're getting into. These terms often violate federal regulations, mainly the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA") and the Truth in Lending Act ("TILA"), whose infringements might result in hefty fines upon the bank and damages awarded to the firm's clients.
