Private Attorneys Co-Counsel With FHLP

The Fair Housing Law Project ("FHLP") of the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, a non-profit law firm that provides free legal services to residents in need living in Santa Clara County, California, reports that many private law firms have increased their pro bono representation by co-counseling predatory lending cases with them. In addition to helping needy clients, the firms gain litigation experience for their attorneys. To see the list of the firms providing assistance, see the caption, Private Firms Co-Counseling with FHLP (also, if you scroll to the bottom of the linked page, you can read about one elderly victim of a foreclosure rescue scam who, through FHLP's efforts, received the deed to her home back, plus financial compensation and attorney fees totaling $250,000).
