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.

I was very happy with the service provided. The staff was patient and understanding and were always available to answer my questions. I was most impressed with Attorney Haynes taking time on his Saturday to personally call me regarding an upcoming deadline in my foreclosure case. Mr. Haynes was able to get my mortgage loan modified to an affordable monthly payment so that I can keep my home and my foreclosure case was dismissed!L.P.

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.R.W.

Always made themselves available throughout the entire process. Thanks to Haynes Law Group we have our home. We thank you.A.R. & J.T.
