Foreclosure Defense

Foreclosure defense refers to the legal strategies available to homeowners challenging a lender’s attempt to repossess a property due to missed mortgage payments. In Florida, foreclosure is a court-supervised process, and homeowners served with a foreclosure lawsuit must file a legal response within 20 days to preserve their rights — failing to respond can result in a default judgment allowing the lender to proceed with sale of the property. Defense options include loan workout restructuring, short sale negotiation, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure arrangements, and full litigation defense. Attorney Philip G.

If you are behind on mortgage payments, threatened with foreclosure action or have already been served with a foreclosure lawsuit, CALL NOW. You may be eligible for a “workout” to restructure your payments, a short sale, provide a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or other options.

If you have already been served with a lawsuit for mortgage foreclosure, in order to preserve your legal rights to contest the lawsuit, you must file the appropriate response within a specified period of time which is usually twenty days.
