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.

    “Thanks to Haynes Law Group we have our home.”
    I went to Haynes Law Group on short notice, literally the day before my foreclosure case. Attorney Haynes worked with me against all odds. They were very honest as to what should be expected. They worked with us allowing us to make affordable weekly payments. They immediately got the foreclosure process halted, and worked diligently in getting the loan modification WE WANTED with even better terms than expected. Always made themselves available throughout the entire process. Thanks to Haynes Law Group we have our home. We thank you.

    “I'd give them 10 stars if I could”
    After going through several unresponsive and hard-to-work-with attorneys, we found Haynes Law Group. Ben Haynes and his team were helpful from the first consult, arriving prepared with a plan. The team was extremely responsive and professional throughout the process. They answered all our questions and ensured we felt comfortable and informed. I would give them 10 stars if I could and highly, highly recommend!

    “Awesome”
    Ben, You and your team saved me from foreclosure . The idea of this ever happening to me was unfathomable . It brought me to my knees , but you turned that around for me. The referral for a real estate agent, Tonya Giddens was a blessing. She is amazing! I could not have managed this very difficult time without her. I trusted her from the very first time she spoke with me. Thank you so very much for representing me . You and your team were very responsive to me and very professional . I so appreciated that. I hope you all have a happy and prosperous new year!
