[NY] How to confirm a sealed record in New York?

I was arrested for domestic violence in New York City, but the charges were dropped without prejudice before I was arraigned. I was fingerprinted and photographed, but I never went to court and never received paperwork. I understand my case should be automatically sealed under CPL §160.50. How can I confirm that my record has been sealed properly, and what steps should I take if it hasn’t been?

[NY] I filed for bankruptcy to avoid foreclosure on my house. How should I proceed?

Hello, my house was in foreclosure due to back mortgage payments. I was able to put off the auction by filing for bankruptcy. I want to work out a deal with my mortgage lenders to keep my house. What should I do? I was told I need both a bankruptcy lawyer and a real estate lawyer. I can barely afford one attorney, let alone two. P.S. I live in Brooklyn, New York. What would be a flat rate to hire an attorney to handle this for me?
