Q: Where can I find a free or fee based attorney to help me save my house? I have kids
Between husband being off due to infection in hand and when he went back to work a pay cut and my hours cut we are behind on our home and now an attorney has sent us a letter about taking house
A:
An Illinois attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for five weeks. You could try running some searches under "legal aid attorneys" and similar and related terms. Also try searching for "pro bono legal services." Look into whether the Illinois State Bar Association has any helpful resources. State bar associations SOMETIMES have resources for free or low cost legal services.
Here is a link to a page from the HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) - Avoid Foreclosure - Illinois -
https://www.hud.gov/states/illinois/homeownership/foreclosure
Here is another one to the Illinois Housing Development Authority - Foreclosure Prevention Programs
https://www.ihda.org/my-community/foreclosure-programs/
You can probably find additional resources online with other government offices. I hope things turn around for the better for your family in the year ahead. Good luck
