A state appellate court ruled in late May that Hallie Maggi and her husband Steven owned their home free and clear of any mortgage — ending a foreclosure saga that began in May 2010 in the middle of the country's financial crisis.

Since then, Maggi has watched her school-age sons become men, welcomed new nieces and nephews and grieved the loss of her mother. Through it all, the family has been living in their Hauppauge house not knowing whether their home was truly theirs. Maggi borrowed from her retirement savings to cover the tens of thousands in legal fees.

"We took care of our house with the goal that it's going to be ours one way or another," Maggi said. "I had to remain positive I'm winning this — or I wouldn't have stuck with it all this time."
