July 2014 News
On July 28, 2014 Partner Darren McDonough and IMGT successfully defended a foreclosure action where IMGT’s client had made an agreement with the Bank to satisfy the mortgage. The client paid the agreed upon amount and the Bank still filed the foreclosure action. IMGT and Partner Darren McDonough were able to get the bank to dismiss the foreclosure action. Making sure that IMGT fully represented our clients interests, Darren McDonough wasn’t satisfied with just getting the foreclosure action dismissed. Instead, IMGT and our client then instituted an action to get the outstanding mortgage cancelled with no additional payment, which resulted in a positive result for our client.
