    “I highly recommend Mr. Haynes to assist in your surplus funds case... my review is just one of the many that can vouch for his remarkable professionalism and services. You honestly won't regret it.”
    We contacted Haynes & De Paz as we quickly realized we required assistance obtaining surplus funds from a foreclosure sale. Being from Canada and having an extra messy case with numerous parties involved - the process was extra confusing and we did not know the best way to go about this. We initially thought it would be a simple procedure in that once the sale occurred and once there was confirmation that there were in fact surplus funds - we'd fill out a basic template form to obtain those funds. We couldn't have been more wrong but this is a common misconception. After an attempt to contact the court with no response, we quickly realized we needed the help from an expert. We located Mr. Benjamin Haynes at Haynes & De Paz but had concerns being that he was located in a different county in FL than the court was in... Mr. Haynes didn't even bat an eye. I filled out a form online requesting information and within minutes he called me personally. The entire procedure including the Motion took less than two weeks and I can't believe how efficient he was. He and his assistant, Ashlee are remarkable at communicating with you and updating you every step of the way. The legal fees are reasonable and well worth it. This turned a nightmare into a dream. I highly recommend Mr. Haynes to assist in your surplus funds case... my review is just one of the many that can vouch for his remarkable professionalism and services. You honestly won't regret it.

    “The bank didn't know what hit them!”
    When it seemed hopeless, Lawyer Benjamin Haynes fought and won a $92,873.91 foreclosure surplus for our family! We approached Mr. Haynes after the foreclosure sale on our property. There was a surplus of around $93,000.00 and a second mortgage of around $170,000.00. Therefore, we thought we had no chance to collect the surplus since there was a second mortgage which takes priority over our claim, per Florida law. However, Mr. Haynes took our foreclosure surplus case and started digging very deep! Through Mr. Haynes’ extensive research, he came up with an argument and won in court! The bank didn't know what hit them! We won nearly a $93,000.00 surplus. We received the check in full the next week from the court! If you have a surplus case, you NEED to contact and hire the law firm of Haynes & de Paz. Mr. Haynes will not give up and will work to win you the surplus funds! Now, my wife and I are able to put a down payment on another property. Thank you Mr. Haynes and the law firm Haynes & de Paz!!!!!

Ben and Danny are outstanding attorney's but more important, they are outstanding people. The entire team Ben, Danny and Ashlee are the legal team you want on your side.

    “Thank you for all your help!!”
    I just wanted to send a quick note and tell you how impressed I was in your handling of my case. From the beginning you took the time time to explain the process and what to expect along the way all of which resulted in the best conclusion I could have hoped for. I can not express the relief I feel that I can finally put this behind me and move forward. Thank you for all your help!!
