Lender liability claims address situations where a lender’s actions exceed legal or contractual limits, causing harm to a borrower or other party. These claims can involve misrepresentation, coercion, or improper enforcement.
In Kensington, the process usually starts with a case evaluation, followed by evidence gathering, documentation, negotiations, and, if needed, litigation to pursue the right remedy.
