Need foreclosure-prevention help?

Baltimore County's Office of Community Conservation is inviting homeowners who want mortgage advice or free legal counseling to attend a "foreclosure solutions" workshop next Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The event, to be held at New Town High School, 4931 New Town Blvd. in Owings Mills, will offer information about managing mortgages and one-on-one foreclosure-prevention counseling with attorneys.

If you register by Friday (before 4:30 p.m.), you'll be guaranteed a time slot with an attorney, the organizers say. Call 410-887-3124.

Those free counseling sessions are being put on as part of a partnership with the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland and Civil Justice Inc.

The county is scheduling other sessions with one-on-one counseling in October, November and December.
