NCBA Mortgage Foreclosure Task Force
In 2008, the Nassau County Bar Association – working closely with Nassau/Suffolk Law Services, the Nassau Regional Office of the Attorney General and the County of Nassau – became the first bar association in New York State to address the looming mortgage foreclosure crisis by launching its Mortgage Foreclosure Pro Bono Project, a program that provides free legal assistance to help Nassau homeowners stave off foreclosure on their homes.
