The agreement has two automatic ten-year renewal options. American Processing Company (APC) also agreed to acquire from Wilford & Geske certain operating assets used in its default processing operations.

APC plans to customize its proprietary case management software and systems to service efficiently and productively the foreclosure operations for Wilford & Geske, benefiting the law firm’s clients while freeing the firm’s attorneys to concentrate on legal work.

Dolan Media Company Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer James P. Dolan said the acquisition fits well with APC’s established mortgage default processing businesses in Michigan and Indiana. “We are very impressed with the leadership of Wilford & Geske and we believe that this will be an excellent strategic and cultural fit with APC,” he said. “We are pleased to further strengthen our presence in the Midwest region and we look forward to working with Larry Wilford and Jim Geske to help them provide their law firm’s clients with even better service.”

Lawrence Wilford said the law firm of Wilford & Geske was looking forward to working with APC. “The APC team brings tremendous industry knowledge and technology solutions to help our law firm process and close mortgage default files more efficiently,” he said. “APC’s size and strength will provide economies of scale to our operations that would be difficult to replicate,” he added.

Minnesota ranks 11th among the 50 states in percentages of mortgage loans in foreclosure, according to September 2007 data from the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Wilford & Geske is based in Woodbury, MN, and serves clients across Minnesota.
