The
foreclosure process often feels like an uphill battle. However, you don’t have
to face this ordeal alone, thanks to experienced foreclosure attorneys who can
delay the case or have it dismissed completely.
Of
course, the lawyer you hire becomes your partner in fighting repossession, so
be sure to choose the best candidate for this task. Below are three important
tips to keep in mind before you hire one:
Knowledge
of State Laws
Each state handles foreclosures differently, with
some having non-judicial or judicial processes. Florida belongs to the latter
category, and its foreclosure laws have nuances not present even in other
judicial states (e.g. expedited hearings, final and non-revocable judgments).
As such, hire a local attorney who is well versed in the state’s laws.
Focus on
Foreclosure
Technically speaking, even real estate and bankruptcy
attorneys can offer foreclosure defense services. Still, most of them only
dabble in this type of litigation and don’t consider it a main focus of their
practice. Hence, the lawyer you will hire must have special interest and
extensive experience in handling foreclosure cases.
Consider
the Fees
If you’re facing foreclosure, it means that money
is already tight in your household. Fortunately, some attorneys understand your
plight, and charge only affordable monthly payments for their services.
