Starfield & Smith, P.C.
Top SBA Creditor’s Rights Lawyers
It’s an unfortunate reality that some SBA loans will end up in workout or foreclosure. If a lender fails to follow all SBA regulations and processes, the SBA may lower or deny the SBA guaranty. Additionally, since decisions regarding the SBA guaranty purchases occur at the end of the foreclosure process, a lender may lose its SBA guaranty after it is too late to rectify the problem.
Protecting the Rights of SBA Creditors
The lawyers at Starfield & Smith have worked with SBA lenders for over 25 years and our attorneys have effectively negotiated and litigated workout and foreclosure matters in state and federal court. We thoroughly understand the ever-changing SBA regulations and use this knowledge to assist lenders in their efforts to collect assets, and restructure or otherwise resolve loans with difficult borrowers.
We strategically pursue maximum recovery of collateral always with an eye towards the SBA guaranty. We vigorously fight for your SBA guaranty, and ensure that you remain within the SBA’s regulations so that the SBA upholds its promised guaranty.
Allow Our Tenacious Attorneys To Defend Your Rights
You need someone who thoroughly understands SBA regulations and creditors’ rights on your side. Call 215-542-7070 to speak with our attorneys. You may also email our firm online. We represent lenders nationwide.
