O n Tuesday, November 9, 2010, the Atlanta Bar Real Estate Section helped staff a foreclosure hotline set up by Bill Liss at 11Alive.

The hotline’s goal was to provide information to telephone callers and an online chat for people to ask questions related to foreclosures, loan modifications and related issues. In addition to lawyers from the Real Estate Section, the hotline was staffed by representatives of various non-profit organizations and the Georgia Banker’s Association.
