About how much do lawyers charge for this Service ?

Like any legal case, the exact fee an attorney will quote may depend on the complexity of the issues, the level of skill that will be required to help you, and other factors.  Having said that, a typical fee will be between $5,000 - $10,000.  If you want to not only defend the home, but also pursue a lawsuit against the mortgage company, additional fees may apply.  The most common fact pattern that will allow an attorney to stop foreclosure is where the lender does not grant a loan modification after you successfully complete the terms of a temporary loan modification agreement.  For example, if the mortgage company places you in a temporary loan modification under HAMP, yet refuses to grant a permanent modification after you make the required monthly payments, you will likely prevail in stopping the foreclosure if you retain an attorney who properly asserts these facts to the court.
