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.

    “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.

    “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!

    “Their timely responses and caring attitude made going through a difficult time that much easier!”
    I am very pleased with the level of service I received from Ben and Ashlee at Haynes Law Group. From the moment I walked into the office Ashlee was very warm and accommodating -- even though I returned the favor by spilling a bit of water on the floor. They promptly cleaned it up and we continued with the consultation. I am very observant and pay attention to the little things. I did not notice a hint of irritation or annoyance over the accidental spill. Their timely responses and caring attitude made going through a difficult time that much easier. There was even an instance where I sent an email to the office after "normal" business hours -- expecting a response first thing in the morning. To my surprise and within minutes, the response to my email was waiting in my inbox. I just wanted to thank Ben and Ashlee for being so gracious and supportive and I would absolutely recommend Haynes Law Group to friends and family.
