Representative Pro Bono Matters

  • Ms. McLeroy has represented numerous individuals in pro bono matters, including landlord/tenant disputes, mortgage foreclosure actions, consumer matters, and collection matters.
  • For example, she successfully defended a mortgage foreclosure action against a sixty year old grandmother who was the head of a household consisting of her daughter, her retarded adult son and two grandchildren. The lender, an individual who had purchased the mortgage and note from a governmental entity had begun charging excessive fees that were not provided for in the loan instruments. Because the lender began applying the mortgage payments to these fees rather than to principal and interest, the lender declared the loan in default and commenced a foreclosure proceeding. After thirteen months of litigation, Ms. McLeroy was successful in having the loan, which was at all times current but for the excessive fees, reinstated.
