- Daniel S. Khwaja, Attorney At Law
ABC News I-Team interview with IL Foreclosure Lawyer Daniel S. Khwaja on Foreclosure Defense - Chicago, IL
Daniel S. Khwaja practices primarily in Foreclosure Defense Litigation and Chapter 7 Consumer Bankruptcy Law. As an Illinois Lawyer, Mr. Khwaja is well-versed in Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Defense proceedings, Eviction Defense, and trial litigation.
Attorney Daniel S. Khwaja is passionate about serving his clients, informing them of ways to protect their rights and guiding them through the various options and considerations of foreclosure actions and bankruptcy filings so they remain informed and empowered to decide how they wish to proceed.
Here's what many of Attorney Khwaja's clients are saying:
Will never go to anyone else! Very straight forward and to the point. Got me exactly where I needed to be and what I was expected of him. I honestly cant say that about anyone I've ever worked with. Very personable. Always on time and just an amazing person. I consider him a good friend now.
It is my opinion that Mr. Khwaja is an excellent dogmatic attorney. He is focused and knowledgeable about the foreclosure mitigation process. He was able to assist and turn my complicated case around after one visit. The lender's attorneys (Much larger law firm) were not ready for him!
My family and I are appreciative of his efforts and the results and would recommend him to family and friends in need without hesitation. You won't be disappointed.
I consulted with then hired Daniel S Khwaja following a complicated foreclosure situation. He followed through advising us and completed legal filings and court appearances in a timely matter. In the end Dan's attention to detail and professional skill resulted in a very favorable outcome saving us from a harsh personal deficiency. Thank you Dan!

Four years of a high conflict divorce, going to court ever month. Sometimes twice a month. I’ve seen my share of good and bad attorneys. My case was extraordinarily difficult and terribly damaging to my family, my business associates and myself. My ex wife who is mentally ill forced the property that was purchased as a college fund for my children into foreclosure as a form retaliation for my children telling the judge of the abuse sustained at the hands of her and my ex mother in law. Knowing my ex wife’s thought pattern I knew she’d seek revenge against our children for telling on her and she’d stop payment on their two flat. Since early on in the divorce my ex had a court order removing me as an authorized person on the account for that property. I was left with no way to communicate with the mortgage company to rectify any situations on my own. Foreseeing the situation, I sought a referral from one of my old real estate lawyers for someone to step into the case to protect the properties. On their recommendation a seperate attorney was hired during the divorce solely to protect my interests in the real estate. She did what I knew she would. The attorney was hired 2 months before a payment was even missed on this particular piece of property. His outright refusal to do anything for the $7,500 he collected landed this property not only in foreclosure but let it go to the point that a judgement for sale was entered. Never notifying me of the situation and giving me the brush off the entire time I asked for an update. Completely keeping me in the dark. And when I confronted him about it after it went to judgment for sale; two years later, he excused me of being negligent, even tried to strong arm me. He said there is nothing he could do. He told me to give him another $5,000 and he could keep it going another six months but I was going to lose the property no matter what. Then he started telling me how I really don’t want the property anyway. I told him I had given him $7,500 to protect the property and he literally did nothing. He told me if I wanted a bill, he’d give me one but then I’d have to pay him even more. The entire situation was horrible. He took advantage of my good nature and the terrible position I was in and pretty much extorted me. Then he left me hanging I’m a worse situation than if I never hired him at all, only With $7,500 less. That night with tears in my eyes I told my kids I didn’t think I’d be able to save theIr building. The next day feeling hopeless, I reached out to a friend and was given a referral from their attorney for an attorney who specializes in foreclosure litigation. After talking to her I was then again disappointed that she was too busy to take my case. In reality I think she just didn’t want it. Because my case is so complicated. She told me to call Dan Khwaja. She said “you’ll like this guy”. I called him right away. it was definitely the right move. Dan gave me more information on my first phone call with him than I got in two years with the other thieving attorney. He met with me that same day. We discussed my case and I paid him a retainer. He started working on my case immediately. I was surprised when he texted me on a Friday night and then found out he worked all weekend on my case. As I said I’ve been going to court every month for years and I know a good attorney from a bad one. Dan is not good - he’s excellent. The amount of professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. He takes what he does very seriously and has a soul that is uncommon in most attorneys. He managed to overturn the judgement and get me another chance to save my children’s building. We are not out of the woods yet and mine is a very uncommon case. But with that said I have complete confidence in Dan Khwaja. As a matter of fact, I’m betting my children’s future on him. If you’re in a bad place, don’t know where to turn, call him right now. Time you have is limited. Don’t waste it with anyone else!!!
Mr. Khwaja has gone above and beyond while working with my family. He understands what is most important to us and keeps those goals in mind in everything he does to fight for us in court. He is thorough and incredibly hard working. (I’m not sure he ever takes times off.) He is always available to reply to a quick email and is flexible in finding solutions to whatever problems we may have. He also takes his time to thoroughly investigate every aspect of your case. It isn’t “business as usua.” In court, you want him to be the guy representing you. He is respectful to the judge and opposing counsel while standing firm and supporting his clients. Finding Mr. Khwaja when we did was a blessing.
I sought legal help from Mr. Khwaja regarding an improper foreclosure. He was concise and efficient in his findings. He found other areas of concern and addressed those as well. I would highly recommend him.
Dan Khwaja, Attorney at Law should be one of the “Top Ten 2019 Illinois Super Lawyers”
His ground breaking foreclosure litigation is light years ahead of EVERYONE else in his profession. He takes on very complicated cases, demonstrates competency over and above what is expected and demonstrates an attention to detail that is nothing less than exceptional! He is there to win your foreclosure case not just delay it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Dan is very knowledgeable and will find solutions that other attorney did not think off. he has dismissed my foreclosure on second loan
We highly recommend Dan for any type of foreclosure case and as it may relate to bankruptcy options. He is extremely knowledgeable, effective, dedicated and always available to go over and go over again details of the processes, possible options long and short term as well as aggressive strategies. He is straight forward as to the realities and possibilities which are important to understand in order to make informed decisions. He is in your corner and understanding of your situation. He will do what ever he can to maximize your options like for us to stay in our home as long as possible while we worked on our situation. We are an older couple, almost empty nesters, placed in an unexpected financial situation due to a job loss (after long term successful career) close to retirement age and having subsequent extreme difficulty in overcoming rehiring possibilities late in career. Dan guides you and informs you of updates in the case law, difficulties of the processes and the realities of the various options. We appreciated his help with questions at our initial consult that led us to hire him. He even recommended other attorneys for expertise in real estate sales, loan modifications and bankruptcy options. We are extremely confident he will continue to offer this level of performance and expertise for us and any new client. Dan will champion your cause too!
Hiring Mr. Khwaja to represent me in my pending foreclosure case was the best decision I ever made. In a years time he was able to obtain a large cash settlement for me and my family, which did not even close the case. He is still currently defending the case over one year later and I have been able to recoup thousands in losses. This alone has helped my family tremendously. He truly cares about his clients and has surpassed any expectations I had going into this. Foreclosure is a scary thing to go through and Mr. Khwaja has made this a much easier process for me and my family.

Attorney Khwaja has done an amazing job handling our foreclosure case! I don't know where our family would be without his expertise. I would give him my highest recommendation!

Daniel is a great attorney. He helped me with a property foreclosure. He is very creative when it comes to extending a stay in a home while in foreclosure. My situation did not involve wanting an extended stay; I wanted an accelerated move out & consent deal with the bank which included a waiver of deficiency. Daniel delivered and I could not have expected a better outcome: I am very grateful to Daniel for exceeding my expectations.
When I found myself in a rather sticky situation, I began my search for a lawyer. I waited longer than I should have and now realize that my fear and reluctance was honestly silly and ignorant. All I knew was I needed someone who specifically specialized in foreclosure to help me. I read through a lot of bios and profiles and came across Dan. After reading through his page of questions and answers, his knowledge made an impression on me and I reached out via the web page. Super simple and took a matter of minutes. Dan contacted me the next day and after consulting with him I retained him immediately. He always responded within hours or same day; he made sure you understood, in layman terms, exactly what's going on, what this and that meant and never hesitated to take the time to explain until you understood. He brought my case from hopeless to hopeful, and got a motion to reconsider granted and a summary judgement and judgement of foreclosure and sale both vacated. Pretty sure not anyone could've got that done. It is representative of his knowledge, experience and work ethic. If you're considering retaining a lawyer and like me, had no idea where to turn or how to choose....I've done the hard part for you. Stop here and give Dan a call. You will not be disappointed in his counsel and professionalism. Again Dan...THANK YOU !!!!
I can't say which of his qualities I like the most since he's such a stellar example of what a lawyer should aspire to. I've known lots of them in my time so you can trust me. He's factual and direct with you in assessing your case and kind in ways other lawyers don't even bother with.
I've never known him to brag about himself but he doesn't have to. One can tell he's got a gift for the strategies of this rigorous category of law. I know if I was an opposing attorney I wouldn't want to cross him in court because he doesn't let you get away with anything out-of-order. Even I've been corrected by him a few times!
All jokes aside, these things just show he's a brave defender of property rights. To me, that's paramount because all of our other rights are connected to that one.
Dan saved the life of my case after my pro se attempts went flat and his consistent effort has allowed me to hope while I work on other things. In respect for his skill in and dedication to his profession I can say that I will direct people to him whenever I can.

Daniel S. Khwaja made sense out of everything that we are going through with our house issues. He clammed are fears and is working and doing his best on our behalf. He does what he says he will do and will fight for you and your rights. I have heard of some Lawyers who take your money and run but Daniel is certianly not one of them, quite the opposite! His communication is were he really gels at. Most Lawyers have a tendancy to slowly get back to you to adress your concerns but Daniel does not do this. He is right on top of any questions my wife or I have had.
On 6/2/14, my house was up for a JUDG OF FORECLOSURE & SALE. I received the notice by mail only a week and a half before the set hearing and was scrambling to find a forecloure attorney to defend my case. I found Mr. Khwaja on Avvo and after researching his website, I decided to contact him. After speaking with him and having him reassure me that he would do every thing within his legal power to help me, I decided to retain his services. It was the best decision I have made in a long time as Daniel was able to get the judge to accept my answer to the complaint despite me never answering the complaint 2 years ago! Not only did he stop a possible foreclosure sell date but he bought me more time in my home and I was even able to set up a reasonable retainer payment plan with him. Daniel was patient, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. You will not be dissapointed with his services!
Pure Luck that I found Daniel Khwaja, Attorney at Law. Few and far between are attorneys in Illinois that are worth a grain of salt. Attorney Dan Khwaja is the real deal. If you have a foreclosure lawsuit, you need Dan. Once our foreclosure crisis in America is over, and I hope it's soon, I foresee this bright young attorney moving onto important litigation matters. This one man makes a difference in our Country. Wish there are more as great as he is.
