A temporary restraining order stops the foreclosure on a home, temporarily. This can last 30-60 days depending on the situation. A TRO should only be used in certain circumstances where the mortgage will be brought to current/reinstated with payment in those 30-60 days or, if there is a contract to sell the home, where the seller and buyer need a temporary amount of time to finalize the contract, & the home will be sold in those 30-60, days.

You must bring $1,500 cash to our law firm no later than 48 hours in advance from the foreclosure if not sooner. We must have a reason for the application. An application for a TRO does not guarantee it will be approved. The $1,500 is non-refundable & is the cost for us to appear in front of a judge. There are also other court costs which can vary, please call for more information.

Yes. There are many circumstances where a TRO can be denied. Please explain the circumstance to our staff to see if there is legitimate reason for a TRO and we can assess if this is a good plan of action & likely to be approved. People take advantage of TRO’s and if multiple TRO’s are filed, there is likeliness they will not be approved.
