Dane County Foreclosure Prevention Taskforce

Who:      For homeowners who have received a Foreclosure Summons and Complaint

When:    11:00 am – 1:00 pm, Thursday, October 20th, 2011

Where:   City-County Building, 3^rd floor, 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Madison, WI

THIS IS A RECURRING EVENT, 1^ST AND 3^RD THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH.

Volunteer lawyers and law students will be available to meet with Dane County homeowners in foreclosure.  Homeowners can receive basic legal information and free help at the Foreclosure Answer Clinic.  Experience shows that homeowners who engage in the court process early have better opportunities for a positive outcome.

Time is of the essence because homeowners generally have only 20 calendar days from the date they receive the initial lawsuit papers to file a formal response. Lawyers and law students at the Clinic can provide homeowners with the information they need to file a response. Homeowners can also find out more about the legal process, the Dane County foreclosure mediation program and other community resources.

The Clinic is open the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the 3rd floor of the City-County Building, 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Madison. No appointments are necessary.

Homeowners should bring their Summons and Complaint as well as any other relevant papers about the foreclosure.

The Foreclosure Answer Clinic is a collaborative effort of the Dane County Foreclosure Prevention Taskforce, the Dane County Bar Association and the UW Law School, with grant funding provided by the State Bar of Wisconsin and other support provided by Dane County.
