Q. Will the bank give me time to fix things

June 15, 2018

A: If not already, an estate for your mother must be opened up and the bank will need to serve the administrator of the estate to move things along within the courts on the foreclosure case. That should buy you enough time to strategize on how to proceed with retaining the property. I would highly recommend that you see an attorney that deals in both probate and foreclosure matters right away.

Q. How do I stop my landlord from illegally evicting me. He is already putting my belongings outside. locked me out.

June 6, 2018

A: Contact law enforcement right away and they will inform your landlord of the proper method to evict and allow you to place all of your belongings back inside of the premises. Your landlord has just engaged in "self help" and may now have exposed him or herself to civil remedies and penalties. Hope this helps...

Q. I was in a car accident in Boca Raton. The driver ran a red light and t-boned my vehicle.

June 5, 2018

A: Your auto insurance provides you with $10K in PIP benefits in situations such as these. Simply provide the hospital with your automobile proof of insurance card in lieu of your HMO or PPO policy. You should also be examined and start treatment with a chiropractor immediately as well. I specialize in these types of cases. Please give my office a call asap.
