We're experts in our fields, providing the proprietary technology and trusted lawyering our clients need to reach their goals

RAS has successfully provided Foreclosure creditors’ rights representation to its clients since its inception and consistently employs the highest compliance standards, exceeding client performance expectations.  RAS understands that there is no one-size fits all approach to foreclosures.  Your attorney needs to know his or her cases and identify opportunities for resolution through the use of different methods.  On a monthly basis, RAS will provide each client with a uniquely tailored status report that provides details as to where each case is currently pending and which items are currently delaying the foreclosure timeline.

LITIGATION

Our staff has been successful throughout state and appellate courts, from routine legal matters to complex litigation. RAS recognizes the need to protect our clients before litigation arises, thus every attempt is made to resolve as many issues as possible short of litigation. We are experienced with creative problem resolution. Prior to any complex litigation, RAS will evaluate the case and prepare a written case analysis. 

BANKRUPTCY

RAS has broad experience with Bankruptcy management for real estate lenders, auto lenders, and consumer credit.  RAS recognizes that Bankruptcy matters don’t always fall into the same bucket; each process must be managed with a unique approach.  RAS provides cradle-to-grave bankruptcy service to clients on a 50 state basis.  When servicer is advised of the Bankruptcy filing, RAS is enabled to receive notice to review the case and determine the scope of representation necessary to protect an investor’s interests.  Once reviewed, RAS engages in a dynamic process flow, coordinates the necessary documents, and obtains the necessary evidentiary support to prepare its filings/motions.  

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Lawsuits are increasingly managed as a portfolio from a legal perspective, it is less well appreciated that these claims provide opportunity for asset and liability portfolio management from a financial economic and even an investment management perspective. And while for most companies this would fall mainly onto the liability side of the balance sheet, the increasing prevalence of company-as-claimant, patent litigation and plaintiff recovery programs brings the portfolio problem squarely into the realm of asset and liability management.
