Nassau County Bar Association To Host 250th Free Foreclosure Clinic

The Nassau County Bar Association (NCBA) Mortgage Foreclosure Assistance Program is proud to host its 250th Clinic on Monday, June 6, from 3 to 5:30 p.m. at the NCBA headquarters located at 15th & West Streets in Mineola.

Nassau County residents who are struggling with mortgage issues are invited to attend the free clinic to consult with a volunteer attorney to get their legal questions answered.

“The Mortgage Foreclosure Assistance Project is proud to celebrate this tremendous milestone in direct service to the community,” said attorney Director Madeline Mullane. “Our clinics have helped thousands of homeowners and tenants understand their rights and options in trying to retain their homes.”

Attorneys who participate in the Mortgage Foreclosure clinic are providing one-time free counsel. However, they do not provide further legal representation. Bilingual attorneys are available upon request.

“Our volunteers continue to be integral to our project, devoting their time and efforts to assisting with these clinics and providing vital information to clients in distress “ Mullane explained. “The project remains committed to providing these services as we continue to navigate through uncertain economic times.”

Attendees dealing with mortgage foreclosure may be able to obtain ongoing legal and/or housing counseling services for free from a HOPP agency, funded by the New York State Attorney General’s office to assist homeowners. They may also be referred to the NCBA Lawyer Referral Information Service for other legal issues related to the foreclosure.

In addition to the 250th clinic, the NCBA Mortgage Foreclosure Project hosts multiple clinics per year. Advanced registration is required. To register for a free, one-on-one consultation with an attorney, or to learn more about NCBA’s community service programs, contact mortgageforeclosure@nassaubar.org or call 516-747-4070, ext. 1308. —Submitted by the Nassau

HOME & DESIGN

Shopping For Yard Equipment

Warm weather is here, and you are ready to get outside and make your yard beautiful and functional. Now is the time to get “backyard ready” for spring. What tools do you need?

Plan your needs

Draw a sketch of your yard. Include any major features like trees, bushes, garden, flower beds, furniture, play equipment, patio or bird bath. Note where maintenance may be required. Will bushes need to be trimmed back from your home or garage? Do you want to put in some bushes or a tree? Are you planning to install a fence and more grass because for your pet?

Consider equipment needed

Visit your garage or shed and find those forgotten lawn and garden tools. Wheel out your mower and get out other equipment. Look it over and make a list of what is needed or could be upgraded. Repair anything that needs attention or identify where a newer or other machine is required. If you have a large garden, you need a cultivator or tiller. If you have a large lawn, an upgrade to a riding lawn mower might make mowing easier. A string trimmer might make caring for bushes or trimming grass near a fence line easier.

Research before you buy

The right equipment can mean more time for other activities and make doing yard work more enjoyable, too. Outdoor power equipment can be gas, electric or battery powered and technology is rapidly impacting product design. There are even robotic lawn mowers.

Ask questions

Talk with the staff at the store or ask online about the equipment. Ask to pick up and hold equipment to determine its “fit” for you. Discuss safety features and ask about fueling and care instructions. Make a plan for storage and maintenance. Store your equipment in a cool and dry place. It also should typically be serviced at the end of the fall and the beginning of the spring. Put service dates on your calendar with a reminder.
