Q: I live in New Jersey and own a home. I would like to know if I file bankruptcy if I would lose my house?
A: No, you do not have to lose your home. In fact by filing a Complex Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and seeking a mortgage loan modification through the Bankruptcy Court's mortgage modification. You need to retain an experienced mortgage foreclosure defense and bankruptcy attorney, who has a proven track record of success. You need to retain the best attorney you can afford.
