I strongly recommend that you have your own attorney present during the foreclosure mediation. The mediator cannot offer you legal advice during the process. The bank's attorney represents the bank- not you. Additionally, you may have rights and defenses to the foreclosure that you are not aware of such that your attorney may determine you do not need to settle the case at the mediation.
