Most of the firm's mortgage foreclosure and bankruptcy work is performed for mortgage servicers and their investors on single family residential loans. These include government agency guaranteed loans (such as FNMA, FHA, FHLMC, and VA loans) and conventional loans. However, Ackerson & Yann handles the entire spectrum of defaulted loans and indebtedness throughout Kentucky, ranging from large commercial loans and assets, to home loans, to unsecured claims.

Because our attorneys understand the importance of a speedy resolution to non-performing loans and accounts, we take an aggressive approach on behalf of our clients. We aggressively advance our clients' interests while maintaining an open mind to appropriate settlement negotiation strategies (such as loss mitigation and workout efforts) in order to provide clients with options for reducing legal expense and litigation risks.

We utilize technology in combination with individual effort and diligence to ensure that agency mandated timeframes are met and that cases are concluded quickly. At the same time, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail - resulting in conveyances of clear title on foreclosed properties without postsale title issues.
