Foreclosure Attorneys Serving the States of Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC

The Foreclosure Practice Group is staffed with qualified attorneys, legal assistants, and other staff members ready to assist clients in achieving success. The department’s attorneys collectively have more than fifty years of experience representing secured creditors.

Unlike some firms that only handle foreclosure-related matters, Shulman Rogers is a full-service law firm staffed by a team of seasoned lawyers with transactional and litigation experience. Through years of practice, our attorneys have developed the sophistication and experience to handle the most complex cases. We have assisted our lender clients in liquidating apartment, office and industrial complexes; entire development projects; raw land; and residential properties ranging from small condo/co-op units to palatial estates selling for several million dollars. As part of the Real Estate Department, the Foreclosure Practice Group works closely with the members of the Bankruptcy Group to handle any bankruptcy matter that may affect the collection and/or eviction proceedings.

By constantly evolving and keeping pace with current technology, the Foreclosure Practice Group at Shulman Rogers is able to maximize the client’s recovery while at the same time providing high quality work at a reasonable cost.

Shulman Rogers is one of a handful of Maryland, D.C. and Virginia law firms that is a member of the national Lenstar and VendorScape networks.
