New Jersey focusedNo cost to send a requestA clear place to start
Less uncertainty. A clearer conversation.
You don’t have to know
the answer to ask for help.
The letters pile up. The language gets harder to follow. And the same question keeps coming back: what do I do now?
That’s where a conversation can help. We connect New Jersey homeowners with a participating New Jersey foreclosure attorney, so you can ask questions about your paperwork, your circumstances, and the next steps worth discussing.
Start with what you know
Choose the situation closest to yours. “I’m not sure” is a valid starting point, too.
If this sounds familiar
There’s more than one reason to reach out.
You can send a request at any of these points. What an attorney may be able to do depends on your individual circumstances.
Something arrived in the mail
A notice of intention to foreclose, demand letter, or foreclosure complaint has made the situation feel real. You need help making sense of the documents.
The case is moving forward
Mediation, a final judgment, or a sheriff’s sale is on your mind. Tell the attorney about any dates and deadlines as early as possible.

A simple first step
From a question to a conversation.
No long explanation required to get started. The request asks about your situation and how to reach you.

Make the conversation count
Three questions worth getting clear on.
- 01
Where do I stand?
Bring the uncertainty into focus. An attorney can review what you’ve received and discuss where your case stands.
- 02
What needs my attention?
Ask which documents, dates, and upcoming events matter for your circumstances. Share any sale date or court deadline right away.
- 03
What could I do next?
Discuss whether a response, loss-mitigation path, or another approach may fit your situation. No outcome is guaranteed.
You can start with a question.
You don’t need a perfect explanation.
Know what you’re choosing
A first conversation. A separate decision.
Sending a request and hiring an attorney are different steps. Here’s what that means for you.
| Consideration | A first conversation | Legal representation |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Discuss your situation and potential next steps. | Agree on the legal work an attorney will take on. |
| Cost | Sending a request costs nothing. Ask the attorney about any cost before the conversation. | Discuss fees and terms directly with the attorney. |
| Commitment | No obligation to hire. A request does not create an attorney-client relationship. | Representation requires a separate agreement with an attorney. |
Submitting a request does not stop a foreclosure sale, extend a deadline, or guarantee representation.
Before your conversation
Bring what you have. Start there.
A little preparation can make it easier to explain what’s happening. You don’t need these documents to submit your request.
Keep the paperwork together
Set aside notices, court papers, mortgage statements, and letters from your lender or servicer. Keep the envelopes, too.
Write down the dates
Note upcoming hearings, mediation sessions, and any scheduled sheriff’s sale. Tell the attorney about these at the beginning of your conversation.
Think about what matters to you
Do you want to keep the home, understand the paperwork, or discuss another way forward? Write down your questions and any steps you’ve already tried.
Straight answers
Before you take the next step.
Does it cost anything to send a request?
No. Homeowners are not charged by this site. Whether an attorney charges for a first conversation, and any fees for representation, are between you and the attorney; ask before you agree to anything.
What if I don’t know my foreclosure stage?
Choose “I’m not sure where I stand.” You can explain what you’ve received and what’s worrying you during follow-up.
What if a sale is already scheduled?
Seek legal help promptly and explain that a sale is scheduled. Submitting this form does not stop a sale or extend any deadline. Whether an attorney can help depends on the facts and the time remaining.
Who receives my information?
Your answers go through an intake service to one participating New Jersey attorney or firm for follow-up by phone, text or email. Each request is forwarded to one participating New Jersey attorney or firm determined by the property’s county and the foreclosure stage. Read the privacy notice and consent language on the request form before submitting.
Is this a law firm or government program?
Neither. NewJerseyForeclosureHelp.com is attorney advertising for participating New Jersey attorneys and firms; it is not an attorney referral service, a law firm, a lender or a government agency, and does not provide legal advice.
