Welcome to the Spotlight Series where we will put a spotlight on quality and value in legal services. This installment of the series is a discussion with attorney Ali Kalman, Managing Attorney- Bankruptcy.
Ali focuses on Florida foreclosure work and has practiced in the state for 12 years. Throughout her time with Lender Legal, she has experienced numerous moments that highlight the value of our model.
While state-of-the-art technology is essential, our approach begins with something more foundational: each file is assigned to a dedicated attorney and paralegal. This team manages the matter from inception through the life of the file, ensuring consistency and true ownership.
Ali has had successful hearings because she knows each file thoroughly from the very beginning. She has found that firsthand knowledge of each file helps her respond to judges’ questions regarding the history of the case more effectively, without needing to delay the matter for further research or a hearing continuance.
As Ali explains, "These are court cases, and we take the utmost care to ensure they are brought to resolution as efficiently as possible while minimizing unnecessary delay.” She adds, “When I work a file from start to finish, it gives me complete confidence. There’s nothing a judge can ask that I’m not prepared to answer.”
Firm Managing Partner Anas Iqbal adds, “In a judicial state, having this depth of knowledge—without relying on notes from multiple people touching different parts of the case—humanizes the work and creates a better experience for our clients and our attorneys and borrowers, increasing our efficiency. Judges appreciate it as well, which is why attorneys like Ali have such strong reputations in the courts.”
As the Spotlight Series continues, we will remain focused on examples of our approach to quality and how it adds value in mortgage default legal services.
