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.

    “The bank didn't know what hit them!”
    When it seemed hopeless, Lawyer Benjamin Haynes fought and won a $92,873.91 foreclosure surplus for our family! We approached Mr. Haynes after the foreclosure sale on our property. There was a surplus of around $93,000.00 and a second mortgage of around $170,000.00. Therefore, we thought we had no chance to collect the surplus since there was a second mortgage which takes priority over our claim, per Florida law. However, Mr. Haynes took our foreclosure surplus case and started digging very deep! Through Mr. Haynes’ extensive research, he came up with an argument and won in court! The bank didn't know what hit them! We won nearly a $93,000.00 surplus. We received the check in full the next week from the court! If you have a surplus case, you NEED to contact and hire the law firm of Haynes & de Paz. Mr. Haynes will not give up and will work to win you the surplus funds! Now, my wife and I are able to put a down payment on another property. Thank you Mr. Haynes and the law firm Haynes & de Paz!!!!!

    “Thank you to Ben and his team and Haynes & De Paz and I would recommend anyone looking into strategic defense against foreclosure to contact them immediately!”
    I approached Attorney Ben Haynes with probably one of the most difficult commercial foreclosure cases of his career. Going into it we both knew it would be an uphill battle against one of most ruthless banks in the industry. In the end, Ben negotiated a short sale that exceeded all my expectations and we were able to walk away from a bank whom had held us financially hostage for over a decade. Now we are finally able to move forward and grow our company to new heights! Thank you to Ben and his team and Haynes & De Paz and I would recommend anyone looking into strategic defense against foreclosure to contact them immediately!

    “Haynes and De Paz is an extremely talented and results driven law firm!”
    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!
