Las Vegas, NV - March 1, 2012 - (RealEstateRama) -- There are NO attorneys who specialize in short sales; however, there are plenty of attorneys who specialize in taking your money.

If the attorney fails to get your short sale approved, you are left vulnerable and may need additional legal protection
