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

    “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!!!!!

    “If you are in need of foreclosure defense, look no further.”
    If you are in need of foreclosure defense, look no further. Ben was on top of everything and his communication between myself and the bank was stellar. He discussed strategies with me and counseled me towards the possible outcomes of each strategy. Before I hired Ben to represent me, I was lost, confused, and a little bit scared of the banks. Now, I've got a lawyer for life and peace of mind to go along with it.
