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.

    “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 have nothing but GREAT things to say about Ben Haynes and his law firm Haynes and De Paz! I retained Mr. Haynes' services from reading the excellent reviews left by previous clients... and it was the absolute BEST decision my family and I made! Not only was he and his firm able to WIN ALL of the surplus money for us, but he was also able to WIN the case in such a short time!! His expertise should not be doubted. My family and I are more than satisfied with the outcome! A million thank-yous will never be enough, but I must say THANK-YOU! An awesome job well done!!

    “Mr Haynes is courteous, informative, professional, and really knows his area of law.”
    Mr Haynes is courteous, informative, professional, and really knows his area of law. He answered all of our questions, and was willing to meet with us whenever needed. He focused his knowledge to help my father obtain a short sale on his property, in a very short period of time. I believe that Mr. Haynes is honest and trustworthy, and that he will accomplish what he says he will do for you.
