Bergman on New York Mortgage Foreclosures is the indispensable guide to New York foreclosure and mortgage processes.
Bergman on New York Mortgage Foreclosures is the definitive and ideal resource for New York mortgage foreclosure law analysis and guidance. Author and leading authority Bruce J. Bergman steers readers through the arcane law, practice and process of mortgage foreclosures. Bergman best describes the mission and motivation for the comprehensive analysis in the four-volume Bergman on New York Mortgage Foreclosures: “A thorough knowledge of all applicable law and practice at every stage of the action is vital. … The language contained in any particular set of mortgage documents can and does vary, as do the facts of each case, making every situation different. And the nuances of all this are ever evolving, ever changing, rendering the generous analysis here all the more meaningful.”
Bergman provides evolving answers to the question, “What is foreclosure really about?” This New York foreclosure lawyer leverages deep experience to provide “hands-on” and “how-to-do-it” knowledge and methods to the reader. New York foreclosure practice is constantly changing and complex, and Bergman on New York Mortgage Foreclosures meets the challenges with fundamental legal analysis of mortgage and foreclosure case law and statutes, practice tips and hundreds of forms that take on relevance on a day-to-day basis.Link to videos featuring Bruce Bergman:
