Men and who put on a uniform and serve our country have a special place in my heart. I have said it before and I continually state it,
If you serve in the military and you face foreclosure, I will consult with you for free. Above and beyond me, the honorable and dedicated attorneys that are fighting for real Americans will stand up and fight for soldiers.
As Americans, we simply cannot allow a single soldier or that soldier’s family to suffer the stress and anxiety of litigation while they are working to protect and defend our nation. The good attorneys that are out there fighting for Americans all across this country will stand up to protect soldiers, because, according to the Administrative Office of the United States Courts:
The purpose of the SCRA is strengthen and expedite national defense by giving servicemembers certain protections in civil actions. By providing for the temporary suspension of judicial and administrative proceedings and transactions that may adversely affect servicemembers during their military service, the SCRA enables servicemembers to focus their energy on the defense of the United States.
It is critical to keep this intent in mind anytime issues relating to the SCRA are being discussed, yet far too often this important fact is overlooked or not considered. But there is an axiom of American jurisprudence that we would rather ten guilty men go free than to have one innocent man be convicted. I would suggest that we owe no less a duty to the men and women in uniform are owed no less than this treatment.
But on a very practical and concrete level, HUD regulations provide that every homeowner in default must receive an SCRA notice. I have reviewed untold thousands of foreclosure lawsuits and I can say that I have never ever seen one of the notices described in the attached HUD regulations….read on and consider what this means…
