Important
NY Hope is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We are a legal intake platform that connects you with independent attorneys in our network and assists with the administration of your matter. Submitting an intake does not create an attorney, client relationship, and legal deadlines can move quickly, please do not wait.
Received court papers or a foreclosure notice?
If you have been served with a lawsuit, foreclosure complaint, judgment, garnishment notice, or court date, do not wait. Legal deadlines can move quickly.
Your first step starts with a conversation.
It is free, and it is confidential. Book a consultation or submit an intake and, where appropriate, we will connect you with an attorney in our network.
