Financial Protection Law Center
Legal Services
Why pick this one
Financial Protection Law Center provides mostly pro bono foreclosure, bankruptcy, and predatory-finance representation across eight southeastern North Carolina counties.
Best for
- low-income homeowners facing mortgage foreclosure
- mobile homeowners facing repossession
- property owners facing tax foreclosure
- consumers harmed by predatory financial practices
- bankruptcy cases involving home or asset protection
- homeowners seeking property tax exemptions
Look elsewhere if
- the matter is outside the eight listed southeastern North Carolina counties
- the legal issue is unrelated to financial distress, housing, consumer finance, bankruptcy, or property protection
- the client needs guaranteed immediate representation, because case support is based on urgency and complexity and may be limited
