Foreclosure Defense Lawyer in Jacksonville, FL
How Does Foreclosure Work in Florida?
In Florida, foreclosure is a legal process where a lender takes possession of property from the borrower and sells it to cover an unpaid debt.
- The process begins when the borrower defaults on the loan by missing multiple payments, and then the lender files for foreclosure with the court.
- The court will set a date for a hearing in which both parties must appear before presenting evidence on their respective positions.
- After reviewing all evidence, the court can order either reinstatement of payments or sale of property to satisfy any outstanding debts owed by the borrower.
- If sale is ordered, then it must be done through public auction where any interested party may make an offer to purchase.
- Finally, if no offers are made at auction or no one meets minimum bid requirement, then defaulting borrower may have right to reclaim ownership after settling remaining balance.

Ben, I want to thank you and your law firm for ease and comfort that I felt throughout my entire case. I felt at ease when I sat down with you.

My wife and I sought counsel after Bank of America ran us around until they finally were able to get around to foreclosing on us. Mr. Haynes asked what it is we wanted out of this, and he actually listened. He found what we wanted and then he made it happen, in the timeline he said he would. Thank you for helping us through a very tough time.S.K.

I was introduced Attorney Benjamin Haynes via a mutual acquaintance because I was in the middle of a trademarking process with another firm and it wasn't going well. Upon review of my application, Mr. Haynes immediately spotted some problem areas. Within a matter of weeks, he had everything resolved and approved by the USPTO. I can highly recommend this firm.L.H.
