“About 10 new clients a week sign up, according to Mr. Stopa, who says he now has 350 clients in foreclosure, each of whom pays $1,500 a year for a maximum of six hours of attorney time. “I just do as much as needs to be done to force the bank to prove its case,” Mr. Stopa said.”

there’s so many foreclosure scam operators, and they’re prosecuting some attys in california, but it sure looks like a legit attorney can make some decent cash defending foreclosures. 15,000 in retainers a week, $250 an hour sending out letters, looking over some docs, responding to lawsuits…… Just can’t grow so big that you neglect people. Probably 400-500 open files is about right…not bad….
