Foreclosure? Excess Funds? Real Estate Dispute? You Need a Fighter.
If someone’s coming after your house, your business, or your wallet—or if you’re owed money from a tax sale, foreclosure, or a deceased relative’s property—you need a lawyer who knows how to fight back. Fast.
You’ve got a problem. We’ve got solutions.
At Evans Law, we handle Georgia’s toughest legal issues every day—and we do it with skill, speed, and strategy. Whether you’re facing an Atlanta real estate matter, fighting a wrongful foreclosure, claiming excess funds from a tax sale, recovering money owed after an owner’s death, dealing with title fraud, or stuck in a banking dispute, we’re ready to jump in.
We don’t just shuffle paperwork. We solve problems. We untangle messes. We help people win across Georgia—from Atlanta and Fulton County to Lawrenceville, Jonesboro, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Douglasville, Athens, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, and Brunswick.
What we do is fight smart.
What we do is win.
Excess Funds, Surplus Proceeds & Tax Sale Recovery
When a property sells at a tax sale or foreclosure auction for more than what’s owed, the leftover money—called excess funds, excess proceeds, or surplus funds—belongs to someone. That someone might be you. But getting it isn’t easy. Counties don’t hand the money over without a fight, and competing claims, liens, and legal hurdles can tie up your funds for years.
That’s where we come in. Evans Law is one of Georgia’s leading firms for tax sale surplus recovery, and we’ve helped clients across the state claim excess funds they didn’t even know existed.
We handle:
- Tax sale surplus recovery in every metro Atlanta county and statewide
- Money owed from foreclosure sales where the property sold for more than the debt
- Interpleader actions when the county or trustee deposits funds with the court
- Surplus tax refund claims and competing creditor disputes
- Excess proceeds owed to heirs when the original owner has died
Did the Property Owner Pass Away? You May Still Be Owed Money.
This is one of the most overlooked areas in Georgia law. When an owner dies before claiming excess funds—or before even knowing the funds existed—those funds don’t disappear. They belong to the heirs. But to get them, you usually need a probate attorney who understands both estate law and tax sale recovery.
We do both.
If your parent, grandparent, spouse, or sibling lost a home through tax foreclosure or mortgage foreclosure—and especially if the home sold for more than what was owed—there’s a real chance money is sitting unclaimed. We help heirs open estate excess funds claims, establish their right to recover, and pursue those funds through the courts. We’ve recovered surplus for families who had no idea the money existed.
From Savannah to Columbus, Augusta to Athens, we work as a statewide tax sale surplus attorney in every corner of Georgia.
Foreclosure Defense & Lender Representation
Foreclosure moves fast in Georgia. Non-judicial foreclosure means a lender can take your home in as little as 30 days after the first notice. If you’re behind on payments, fighting a wrongful sale, or trying to save a property, you cannot afford to wait.
We represent both sides of the foreclosure battle—borrowers fighting to keep their homes and lenders enforcing their rights. That dual perspective is exactly why we win. We know the playbook from both ends of the table.
For Homeowners: Stop Foreclosure Now
If you’re searching for a foreclosure attorney near me, you’ve already waited longer than you should have. We handle:
- Wrongful foreclosure claims when a lender violated the loan terms or Georgia law
- Foreclosure defense strategies including TILA, RESPA, and breach of contract claims
- Loan modification negotiations to reduce payments and avoid losing your home
- Short sale guidance to exit underwater properties without crushing debt
- Deed in lieu of foreclosure negotiations to walk away clean
- Emergency filings when a sale date is days—or hours—away
- Deficiency judgment defense after the home is gone
- Foreclosure alternatives tailored to your financial reality
As an experienced wrongful foreclosure attorney and consumer lawyer, Andrew Evans has been called a top rated foreclosure lawyer by clients who came to him with nowhere else to turn. Whether you need a modification lawyer, a debt relief attorney, or someone willing to file emergency injunctive relief, we’re ready.
For Lenders: Enforce Your Rights Decisively
We represent banks, private lenders, hard money lenders, and investors who need to protect their collateral. From hard money foreclosure to complex foreclosure litigation, we move quickly and strategically to protect our clients’ interests while staying compliant with every Georgia and federal requirement.
Real Estate & Banking Litigation
Real estate disputes get ugly fast. Money is on the line. Property is on the line. And often, so is your reputation. We’ve handled some of the most complex real estate dispute cases in Georgia—and we know how to cut through the noise to get results.
We litigate:
- Breach of contract in real estate sales, leases, and development agreements
- Quiet title actions to clear clouded ownership
- Tax sale, tax deeds, and tax liens disputes
- Boundary disputes between neighbors and developers
- Title issues, title disputes, and ownership disputes
- Title fraud and forged deed cases
- Property defect claims and seller failure to disclose lawsuits
- Breach of fiduciary duty by agents, trustees, and partners
Real Estate Fraud & Misrepresentation
This is one of the fastest-growing areas of litigation in Georgia—and one of the most damaging. Real estate fraud can wipe out your investment overnight. Whether you’re the victim of a forged deed, a seller who hid major defects, or a deal built on outright misrepresentation, we know how to investigate, prove the fraud, and recover what you’ve lost.
We handle title fraud cases where someone forged your name and sold the property out from under you. We pursue sellers who concealed flooding, structural defects, or known title problems. We chase down agents and brokers who breached their duties. And we don’t back down.
Banking Disputes
Banks make mistakes—and sometimes worse. As a banking lawyer handling complex banking disputes, we represent business owners, investors, and individuals against financial institutions in cases involving:
- Lender liability and bad-faith loan administration
- Frozen account disputes and wrongful seizures
- Loan default and workout negotiations
- Fiduciary duty breaches by trustees and bank officers
- Banking fraud and improper fees
Personal Injury & Other Civil Claims
We also represent injury victims after car crashes, slip-and-falls, and other accidents. If you’ve been hurt and an insurance company is dragging its feet, lowballing you, or denying your claim outright, we’ll get you paid what you deserve.
Who We Help
- Homeowners facing foreclosure—anywhere in Georgia
- Heirs and family members of deceased property owners
- People owed money from tax sales and foreclosure auctions
- Banks, lenders, and hard money investors
- Injury victims who need to get paid
- Small business owners dealing with lawsuits or unpaid invoices
- Property owners with title problems or fraud claims
- Buyers and sellers in real estate transactions
- Insurers and policy owners
- Everyday folks stuck in legal messes they never asked for
You don’t have to know the law. You just need to know when it’s time to call in help. We’ll walk you through the rest.
