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.

If you are in need of foreclosure defense, look no further. Ben was on top of everything and his communication between myself and the bank was stellar. He discussed strategies with me and counseled me towards the possible outcomes of each strategy. Before I hired Ben to represent me, I was lost, confused, and a little bit scared of the banks. Now, I've got a lawyer for life and peace of mind to go along with it.D.L.W.

After dealing with the mortgage company for a year, trying to modify our home they would not budge nor help us in any way that we had to get a lawyer. After reading all the testimonials I had to go with Ben and his team, so glad we did. He was able to dismiss our case, sell our home, and get us money from the sell for us to put down on a new home. Thanks so much Ben, Ashley, Tonya and your whole team for all that you do Couldn't be more grateful.C.B.

Haynes and De Paz is an extremely talented and results driven law firm! Attorney Benjamin Haynes literally had less than 24 hours to represent us in a foreclosure lawsuit. With their legal representation, we were able to secure a loan modification featuring a much lower interest rate and effectively suspend a previously scheduled foreclosure sale on our home. In less than three weeks from receiving final judgment against us by the courts, we now have a new beginning and renewed relationship with our lender in the home that we still love!B.G. &T.G.
