Experienced attorneys well versed in a specific area of practice to help realize your success.

Even in strong economic times foreclosures are a standard component of the mortgage industry. Like mortgages, real estate tax sales are scheduled every spring and fall no matter the relative health of the economy. Mindful of this, Kerns Pearlstine represents clients in lending matters with creativity and innovation.

Led by Stephen M. Hladik, a former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General in charge of the Harrisburg office of the state's Bureau of Consumer Protection and a recognized expert in lending law, the Mortgage, Foreclosure and Tax Sale Law Practice of Kerns Pearlstine has represented clients from every sector of the mortgage industry.

When properties are lost or imperiled at real estate tax sales, Kerns Pearlstine assists clients, whether lenders, servicers or property owners by:

• Contesting tax sales
• Reviewing tax sales for compliance with applicable laws and regulations
• Filing petitions to set aside tax sales or affirmative litigation to overturn tax sales
• Handling quiet title actions for properties involved in tax sales
• Defending lenders in damage actions brought by homeowners or investors
• Clearing title for lenders or buyers
• Bidding at tax sales
• Handling insurance claims with outsourced escrow agents

Kerns Pearlstine not only affords its mortgage, foreclosure and tax sale law clients the expertise available only from an established authority in the field, but the high level of individual attention to clients' needs that cannot be had at big, impersonal law firms.
