Common questions
Where are Queens foreclosure cases heard?
Foreclosure lawsuits for Queens properties are filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Queens County, in Jamaica. Residential cases are routed through mandatory settlement conferences under CPLR 3408 before a judgment of foreclosure and sale can be entered.
How long does a foreclosure take in Queens?
Most New York foreclosures run one to three years from the first missed payment to the auction, and contested Queens cases often run longer because of court volume. An undefended case moves much faster, which is why answering the complaint on time matters.
Can I stop a foreclosure sale in Queens right before the auction?
Sometimes, but the closer to the sale date you act, the fewer and more drastic the options become. An order to show cause or a bankruptcy filing can halt a sale in the right circumstances. Acting months earlier almost always produces a better outcome.
How much does foreclosure defense cost?
Fees depend on the stage and complexity of the case. Many foreclosure defense matters are handled on flat fee or hybrid arrangements rather than open ended hourly billing, and I explain the fee structure at the free initial consultation before any engagement.
