    More Foreclosures Dismissed as Abandoned: A Salutory Lesson

    By Bruce J. Bergman | January 12, 2021

    In his Foreclosure Litigation column, Bruce Bergman notes how there has been a surprising number of cases lately where foreclosures are dismissed as abandoned for lenders' failure to adhere to a particular time frame.
