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. 

  1. The process begins when the borrower defaults on the loan by missing multiple payments, and then the lender files for foreclosure with the court.
  2.  The court will set a date for a hearing in which both parties must appear before presenting evidence on their respective positions. 
  3. 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. 
  4. If sale is ordered, then it must be done through public auction where any interested party may make an offer to purchase. 
  5. 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.

Do I need a foreclosure attorney?

Foreclosure can be a complicated process, and having the help of an experienced foreclosure attorney can ensure that your rights are protected and that you take the correct steps to make sure your financial future is secure. 

An attorney can: 

  • Explain the foreclosure process step-by-step
  • Help you understand your options
  • Review loan documents
  • Assist in negotiations with lenders

Additionally, a foreclosure attorney will know how to navigate the local courts and laws in your area, which can make a big difference in the success of your case. If you are facing foreclosure, it is important to speak with an experienced foreclosure attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your rights and financial interests are protected.

    “You guys really are the best!”
    Ben - terrific news, you guys really are the best! We had received multiple marketing pieces from other asset recovery companies, but I think based on your ability to collect the full amount of the surplus funds, and fast, it was definitely worth engaging with you, outstanding!! If you are looking for a great foreclosure surplus lawyer, hire Mr. Haynes!

    “I personally do not plan on going through this again; however, if I know someone else who is, I would definitely recommend Benjamin Haynes for their case.”
    I came to Benjamin Haynes at a time when I had very little options regarding my foreclosure. He was very confident in what we would be able to do and it was the biggest relief to turn things over to him and let him handle things from that point on. His assistant Ashley was also very helpful in the sense that she would get back to me when she said that she would and I always knew my messages were getting to Mr. Haynes. I personally do not plan on going through this again; however, if I know someone else who is, I would definitely recommend Benjamin Haynes for their case.

    “I could not be more pleased with Haynes Law Group”
    I could not be more pleased with Haynes Law Group. After two years of legal maneuvering and getting nowhere trying to negotiate with my bank, I was referred to Ben Haynes by my son. What a pleasant surprise this has been. From the prompt, courteous and personal attention I receive when contacting the firm, to the information and guidance through complicated legal matters, and disclosure of the process. I don’t think I have had a better return for my money. Thank you Haynes Law Group for giving me back what I have not had in a while; peace of mind.

    “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!!

    “Mr. Haynes fought the Bank and got the Judge to vacate our sale!”
    Haynes Law Group did an excellent job handling our case. The Bank had received a judgment and sold our property at auction! We quickly hired Mr. Haynes in order for him to try and save our property, even after the foreclosure sale. Mr. Haynes fought the Bank and got the Judge to vacate our sale! I would recommend hiring this firm. The communication and knowledge are second to none.
