Foreclosure Defense

Foreclosure Attorney in Boca Raton

Protect Your Property from Government Seizure

If you are seeking legal counsel from an experienced foreclosure defense attorney in Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, or a surrounding area, you have come to the right place. Klein Law Group provides skilled foreclosure defense to help South Floridian residential property owners who are on the brink of foreclosure. Homeowners that are struggling to keep up with regular mortgage payments may fear that there is nothing that can be done to prevent home foreclosure, but with an experienced attorney on your side, you are better able to rigorously defend yourself against foreclosure, with the goal of retaining your home.

In the state of Florida, the only way a lender can initiate the foreclosure process is by filing a lawsuit against you in the Circuit Court. If this happens, you have the right to fight back, but you must act quickly since you only have twenty days to respond from the time you receive the lawsuit documents. If a response is not filed with the court within twenty days, your defense options are seriously limited and the foreclosure process will move very quickly. Rather than sitting back and letting lenders get the upper-hand in the foreclosure process, it is best to obtain solid legal representation. A compassionate yet aggressive lawyer, and one that is experienced with the specific laws regarding foreclosure in South Florida, is your greatest defense against lenders and their legal teams that stand between you and your home. Our experienced foreclosure attorneys defend our clients against illegal or unscrupulous attempts by lenders to foreclose their homes.

 

Our Approach to Foreclosure Defense

If the foreclosure suit has merit and there is no way to reverse the foreclosure process, we make sure that every step in the process is followed in the proper time frame and sequence, slowing down the process and providing you with the time to consider other alternatives that may allow you to retain ownership of your home and property. We will also make the lender prove that they have the right to foreclose on your home.

No one should have to lose their home to foreclosure when faced with difficult financial circumstances, yet the reality is that foreclosures are a common occurrence in South Florida. That is why the lawyers at Klein Law Group are dedicated to helping homeowners fight to keep their homes. We work diligently to protect homes against foreclosure, help our clients negotiate with their banks or mortgage lenders, and represent them if they choose to pursue a short sale on their homes. Foreclosure is not something that homeowners should face alone, and a trusted foreclosure attorney in Boca Raton can defend your rights and help you explore financial options that will be more advantageous to you rather than losing your home to foreclosure.

Why Hire a Foreclosure Defense Attorney?

When it comes to facing foreclosure, hiring a foreclosure defense attorney is one of your most viable options. Florida laws surrounding foreclosure can be too complex for you to understand on your own, which might cause you to commit costly errors or overlook options that could protect your investment. Putting seasoned and skilled foreclosure defense attorneys on your side could further prevent that from happening.

Here are just a few reasons why hiring a lawyer is the right step to take:

  • There are certain parts of foreclosure that require immediate attention. Hiring a foreclosure defense lawyer means that you would have a professional legal adviser in your corner with insight to properly review your case and make sure you comply with all the requirements within the given time frame.
  • They offer consultations that provide you with as much information as you need. Consultations are a great opportunity for you to present your situation to a lawyer. He or she can look into the statements sent by your creditor so that they can help you decide the best course of action to take with your case.
  • Foreclosure cases don’t always have to end up in court. Some legal matters involving foreclosure can be settled outside of the courtroom. Convincing the bank to compromise is a tough task, and a lawyer’s experience with the law can make this a more likely outcome.

 

Questions to Ask a Foreclosure Defense Attorney

A reliable foreclosure defense attorney can provide the legal assistance you need while in the middle of a complicated situation. Many lawyers out there claim that they can deliver what you need. The question is, how will you know and have the ability to choose the right one? You need to ask the right questions in order to gauge their skills and experience. Make sure that the defense team you hire is qualified to handle your case.

  • What course of action do you recommend? There are many options to choose from when it comes to fighting foreclosure. Your lawyer might suggest any of the following: fight the foreclosure in court, get a loan modification, or file bankruptcy. For more options, we encourage you to consult with our legal team.
  • How much experience do you have in representing homeowners in court? Your lawyer should have many years of experience handling cases similar to yours. It would serve your best interests to ask them the number of foreclosure cases they have litigated in court.
  • Are you licensed to practice law in this state? This is a very basic question to ask, but considering that there are lawyers out there who take advantage of someone’s unfortunate situation and offer their services even if they are not licensed to do so, makes it an important one. Be wary of this scam. Ask for proof that they are indeed licensed in the state of Florida, then go to www.floridabar.org to confirm.
