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.

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.

I spoke with a couple of my attorney clients about how to obtain surplus funds for a family member and they were unfamiliar with the process so I googled attorneys who specialize in obtaining surplus funds. Ben’s name was the first to pop up. I sent an email with a few details and after learning about his firm I signed an engagement letter. Within a couple of months we received a check.D.L.

I found Haynes Law Group by accident. I had previously been given bad legal advice by another lawyer. I had two weeks before I had to appear in Court when I retained Mr. Haynes and his firm. He assured me, with great confidence, that he would be able to handle all of my legal problems. Through his knowledge, experience, expertise, and driven by his love of law, he took over my foreclosure case. He was able to achieve all that was needed to be done with great professionalism. I would highly recommend Mr. Haynes and his firm as they are brilliant young lawyers with great attention to detail.A.M.
