About Us
WELCOME to Tatman legal
WHAT WE DO
Tatman Legal is a creditors’ rights law firm based in San Diego. We represent mortgage lenders, credit unions, loan servicers, auto lenders and real estate investors in Arizona, California, Florida, Oregon, Texas and Washington. The firm also serves as a HUD designated foreclosure commissioner in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Washington.
HOW WE WORK
One attorney-managed team handles the file from referral to recovery: trustee sale, judicial foreclosure, deed in lieu, post-sale eviction, replevin or impound recovery, and bankruptcy motions. Our affiliated trustee, Nationwide Reconveyance LLC, handles roughly 400 foreclosure files a year.
WHY LENDERS REFER TO US
Responsiveness is the reason clients tell us they stay. Every referral is acknowledged the day it arrives, every deadline is calendared under the applicable state statute, and status reports go out without being asked.
OUR PRACTICE AREAS
BANKRUPTCY FOR CREDITORS
Motions for relief from stay, proofs of claim, Chapter 13 plan objections and Rule 3002.1 compliance for lenders, credit unions and servicers in six states.
FORECLOSURE AND TRUSTEE SALES
Non-judicial and judicial foreclosure for lenders in AZ, CA, OR, TX, WA and FL, with our own trustee entity handling the sale from notice of default to trustee’s deed.
EVICTIONS AFTER FORECLOSURE
Unlawful detainer and post-sale possession for lenders, trustees and REO holders, including tenant-occupied property under the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act.
CREDITOR LITIGATION
Deficiency actions, wrongful foreclosure defense, title curative suits, lien priority disputes and conversion claims against tow yards. HUD approved and FNMA approved in California.
LOSS MITIGATION AND DEED IN LIEU
Deed in lieu, short sale approval, forbearance and modification documents for lenders and servicers, with the foreclosure kept on calendar until the workout closes.
