What you will learn and why you should attend .
. .
Despite the economic recovery, real estate foreclosures
continue unabated. While most of the recently revised procedures for
handling a foreclosure are straightforward, these procedures must be strictly
followed. Is is critical for attorneys representing both mortgagors and
mortgagees, as well as other creditors, to thoroughly understand the steps
required, the impact of bankruptcy proceedings, and the consequences and
priorities when procedures are not properly followed.
This seminar will go step-by-step through the foreclosure process. The presenters will point out pitfalls and problems to avoid, as well as strategies and techniques to consider, in every step of both residential and commercial foreclosure cases. Registrants have an opportunity to purchase the new 4th edition of Maryland's leading foreclosure practice manual, Gordon on Maryland Foreclosures, at a 50% discount off the regular price. With more than 1500 pages of narrative text, citations to case and statutory authorities, sample pleadings and practice forms, Gordon on Maryland Foreclosures 4th Edition is THE essential, exhaustive guide to every aspect of foreclosure.
The outstanding faculty for this seminar includes: Judge Stephen Derby and Judge Duncan Keir of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland; Michael Hartz of the IRS's Technical Support Office in Baltimore; and Andrew W. Dyer, Esq. of the Circuit Court for Prince George's County. You will want to hear their authoritative perspectives on how to properly handle foreclosures cases. You will also receive invaluable practice tips and proven, effective advice from respected, experienced attorneys: Cliff Blondes; Jeffrey Fisher; David Fishman; Kenneth MacFadyen; Roger Schlossberg; and Alexander Gordon, the author of Gordon on Maryland Foreclosures 4th Edition.
