Chicago Foreclosure Defense Lawyers

Aggressive Representation Makes the Difference

EV Häs, LLC focuses on strategic foreclosure defense without treating bankruptcy as the default solution. We rely on substantive pleadings, disciplined litigation, and practical loss-mitigation options—so you keep leverage, protect your rights, and stay in control of what happens next.

Many of our clients come to us after being told “nothing can be done.” Our job is to evaluate the case the way the court will evaluate it—then build a plan that fights for time, options, and outcomes that actually improve your position.

Our Mission

At EV Häs, LLC, our mission is to give Chicago homeowners and small landlords real leverage when foreclosure hits. We fight for time, expose defects in the lender’s case, and pursue practical resolutions when they make sense. You’ll get a clear plan, direct communication, and a strategy built for the courtroom—not wishful thinking.

Our goal is not just delay. It’s leverage, protection, and a plan.

What We Do

We focus on foreclosure defense and closely related matters that affect your property, your timeline, and your options. That includes defending residential foreclosure lawsuits, challenging improper notices and filings, negotiating loan modifications and forbearance agreements, and asserting claims when lenders or servicers cross the line. We also help clients protect assets through strategic planning and defend against building code violations that can threaten ownership or create costly exposure.

How We Work

You’ll always know where your case stands and what we’re doing next.

Assess

We review your timeline, notices, filings, and goals. We identify procedural defects, missing requirements, and leverage points most attorneys never look for.

Strategy

We build a plan around your best outcome—more time, a stronger negotiation position, or litigation pressure when the bank’s case is weak. You get options, not confusion.

Execute

We act fast and deliberately: filings, motions, negotiation, and court appearances. We keep you updated and adjust strategy as the case evolves.

Who We Serve

Chicago homeowners and small landlords who need real foreclosure defense—not generic advice.

Homeowners

If you’ve received a Notice of Default, court summons, or a sale date, we help you understand the timeline and fight back with strategy—without defaulting to bankruptcy.

Small Landlords / Investors

We help small landlords protect rental property, handle tenant realities, and defend foreclosure cases where timing and leverage matter.

Many of our clients come to us after being turned away or told ‘there’s nothing you can do.’ If you’re facing foreclosure in Cook County or the collar counties, we’ll tell you the truth, explain your options, and move fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers for Chicago homeowners and small landlords facing foreclosure pressure.

What should I do first if I receive a foreclosure notice?

If you’ve received a Notice of Default, a summons, or any court filing, don’t guess. Save the documents, note the dates, and get your case reviewed quickly. The earlier we confirm your stage and deadlines, the more options you typically have.

Do I have to file bankruptcy to stop a foreclosure?

Not necessarily. Bankruptcy can pause a case, but it’s not the only tool—and it isn’t always the best one. We evaluate defenses, compliance issues, and loss-mitigation options first, then recommend the move that protects your leverage.

I’ve already been told “nothing can be done.” Is that true?

Often, no. Foreclosure cases can have procedural defects, documentation gaps, service issues, or negotiation opportunities that get missed. A second review can change what’s possible—especially if deadlines haven’t closed.

What documents should I bring or upload for a case review?

Bring or upload the most recent notice or court filing, your mortgage statement (or payoff info if available), and any letters/emails from the servicer or their attorneys. If you have a court date, include that too.

How long does the process take in Cook County?

It depends on the stage of your case, the judge’s call, and what the lender is pushing for. Some cases move slowly; others accelerate quickly near key hearings or sale dates. The goal is to identify the timeline you’re actually on and act before options narrow.

What if my home is already scheduled for sale?

Time matters, but it may not be too late. The right approach depends on the sale date, court status, and what’s been filed. Contact us immediately with the sale date and any court paperwork so we can evaluate realistic next steps.

I’m a small landlord—what happens to my tenants and leases during foreclosure?

Tenant situations can be sensitive and timing-dependent. We help you protect your rights, avoid costly missteps, and coordinate decisions around rent, access, notices, and negotiations while the case is pending.

Do you represent clients outside Chicago?

Yes—many clients are in Cook County and surrounding suburbs. If you’re unsure, submit your address and the county on your paperwork and we’ll confirm fit.
