Managing Your Foreclosure Situation

Next, We Help You Find the Most Effective Solution

During your first consultation, Attorney Eric J. Gravel will work with you to create a plan aimed at resolving your foreclosure matter as efficiently and stress-free as possible. The right strategy depends on where you are in the foreclosure process.


If you’re in the pre-foreclosure stage, your lender may have sent warning notices but has not yet filed a lawsuit. If you’re in the post-foreclosure stage, you may have already received notice that legal action has been initiated. Regardless of your situation, taking immediate action can make a difference. An active legal defense not only helps protect your rights but can also open the door to negotiation opportunities, since lenders often prefer to reach a workable solution rather than face the expense and time of extended litigation.


The Law Office of Eric Gravel is committed to helping homeowners across the San Francisco Bay Area explore every available option to keep their homes and move toward financial recovery.

  • How fast can bankruptcy stop a foreclosure sale?

    Immediately. Filing a case—even hours before a sale—activates the automatic stay.
