The project addressed several key challenges:
bullet point

Lacks the feature to record Lien Holders: The system needs a way to record information about junior lien holders, who must be treated similarly to owners in the foreclosure process.

bullet point

Incomplete and lacking region specific foreclosure steps: The system needs to develop functionalities for foreclosure process that is actually being followed in the specific region.

bullet point

Lacking functionality for automatic emails and notifications: Need to turn over loads of accounts automatically, which was done manually by management companies is again a tedious and time consuming process.

bullet point

Old and outdated programming techniques: The application was developed using old and outdated programming techniques, that needed modernization as per the industry standards.

Affected Areas

The problems identified affected several areas:
bullet point

The application lacked functionality to properly manage junior lien holder information. This negatively impacted data integrity and the legal process.

bullet point

The application lacked functionalities for the foreclosure process, that affects the application in many ways.

  • Legal Challenges and Delays
  • Reputational Damage
  • Financial Losses for Clients
  • Due Process Violations

bullet point

Lack of automatic emails and notifications increases the risk of errors and missed deadlines, reduces overall efficiency and productivity and compromise the quality of client service.

  • Tightly Coupled Code: Hard to modify.
  • Lack of Separation of Concerns: Harder to understand, maintain, and test.
  • Security Vulnerabilities: More susceptible to attacks.
  • Slower development: Changes take longer to implement.

Solution

The Law Firm Carolinas web application was developed to provide following solutions:
bullet point

Functionality to add Lien Holders: The application should incorporate user-friendly modal interfaces to facilitate the addition, modification, and display of Lien Holder information.

bullet point

Region specific foreclosure steps: The application should implement foreclosure procedures tailored to specific jurisdictions, with each subsequent step becoming accessible only upon the successful completion of its predecessor.

bullet point

Old and outdate programming techniques: Implementing the Repository pattern, employing Dependency Injection, and utilizing Dapper(the micro ORM), significantly enhanced the application's architectural design and maintainability.

Outcome
