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

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.

Mr. Haynes won my Florida foreclosure surplus case for over $40,000.00 and with that, gave my children opportunities they never had before. Thank you!!

    “Thank you to Ben and his team and Haynes & De Paz and I would recommend anyone looking into strategic defense against foreclosure to contact them immediately!”
    I approached Attorney Ben Haynes with probably one of the most difficult commercial foreclosure cases of his career. Going into it we both knew it would be an uphill battle against one of most ruthless banks in the industry. In the end, Ben negotiated a short sale that exceeded all my expectations and we were able to walk away from a bank whom had held us financially hostage for over a decade. Now we are finally able to move forward and grow our company to new heights! Thank you to Ben and his team and Haynes & De Paz and I would recommend anyone looking into strategic defense against foreclosure to contact them immediately!

    “Haynes and De Paz is an extremely talented and results driven law firm!”
    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!
