Our team of experienced professionals offer you powerful legal respresentation to protect your home and your rights under Florida Law. We will not allow the lender to take your home without a fight! Most lenders are hoping that you do what most people do when they are facing foreclosure - nothing. The truth is that an overwhelming majority of homes are foreclosed on and eventually sold on the courthouse steps at auction without any defense from the homeowner. Why? Because most homeowners do not know their legal rights under the law! Many lenders do not want you to know that you CAN defend your foreclosure and not allow them to take your home quickly. Lenders must prove more than the fact that you are behind on your mortgage. That is why you must make the lender prove their case to you!

Yes, there are defenses to foreclosure available to you! Forensic Loan Audits, Loan Modifications and Short Sales. When we review your case, we review everything. That includes letters, notes, correspondence, contracts, closing statements, HUD-1 settlement... everything. After our review we prepare and assert affirmative defenses that, if the lender cannot answer them, stop the foreclosure. In some cases, the available defenses may result in your ability to sue your lender, your mortgage broker, the title company, the real estate broker and others. As a result of fighting your foreclosure, you will be afforded valuable time - and in some cases, financial damages, too - to continue working towards a resolution to the foreclosure action.

ARE YOU A VICTIM OF PREDATORY LENDING??? What is predatory lending. anyway? "PREDATORY LENDING" is a term that describes the practice of a lender who deceptively convinces borrowers to agree to unfair and abusive loan terms or to lenders who systematically violate those terms in a way that makes it difficult for the borrower to defend against.

Although predatory lenders are most likely to target the less educated, racial minorites and the elderly, victims of predatory lending are represented across all demographics.

OUR WEAPON OF CHOICE So what is our weapon of choice to defend our clients against these lenders? Title I of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1601, also known as the TRUTH IN LENDING ACT. This law is designed to protect consumers in credit transaction by requiring clear disclosure of key terms of the lending arrangements and all costs. This is the most abused law by lenders in the country while at the same time it is the most powerful protection a consumer can have.
