Susan Ayers with ZinnLaw did a great job on my case. She got me an excellent outcome where other attorneys had failed getting to resolution of my case. There were a lot of documents but she did an excellent job analyzing them and conveying the information clearly to opposing counsel in a way that she negotiated us an outstanding settlement. Susan Ayers cared about my case and tended to it as if I were own family member. If I ever need legal assistance again, I wouldn't hesitate to call Susan Z Ayers, Esq. Highly recommended

I made the mistake of hiring this law firm to represent me against a very overzealous condo association… Mr. Zinn appoints Mrs. Susan Ayres to represent me. At the very first meeting, I realized something was very wrong because Mrs. Ayres absolutely refused to hear key defensive strategy that would’ve given me great leverage in the case. On at least one more occasion, I mentioned the issue about the key defensive strategy being ignored and brought it to Mr. Zinn‘s attention. Mr. Zinn proceeded to cover things up for Mrs. Ayres and then decided to drop my case for what amounted to be an invalid reason. I cannot sue these people to get my money back and they cleaned me out for at least 27 grand.. If you make the mistake of hiring these people, you will severely regret it. Mr. Zinn clearly lacks the key, highly sought after Personality traits in a lawyer, which are, honesty and integrity… exactly how these lawyers in Lee County think that they can get away with committing gross misconduct in connection with their Florida bar license is beyond me.. Most definitely not recommended

The BEST!!!!!!! Hired her for a 40 year dissolution of marriage case after I experienced terrible representation from Linda Fried and Christina O’Brian (Henderson Franklin). Michele was meticulous and heard my words. She was stellar at trial and uncovered the many lies through my ex’s testimony. Only negative was when my ex appealed the final judgment, I had to get another attorney to represent me because Michele doesn’t practice with appeals.

I got into an unfortunate accident on September 2nd, 2024 - Kanner & Pintaluga picked up my case, process started amazing .. as soon as I signed my contract - their updates became minimal, don’t return calls/ or emails . I have been left utterly confused on my case, my car insurance & car bank companies haven’t had ANY updates on my case aside from my TOTALED car being “ sold “ off the tow place which I had NO knowledge or any companies as well, until this day no responses, nothing in mail - phones calls or messages have been returned nor has anyone tried to reach me . I am honestly so devastated at the advantage companies take over people who have never been into an accident before, left completely in the dust . Wish I was able to hear about my case or ANYTHING regarding my accident .

I had the pleasure of working with Jessica over the phone, she took great care of us on a civil matter and had us up and running for that Monday. Everything happened so fast over the weekend, that Monday I meet Mr. Wetter. What an honor!! He was very professional and quickly rule out the strategies in play. Long story short I waited longer for my turn in court, once it was my turn it went by so fast. If I was you and found my self in a jam, I would definitely give Mr. Wetter a call. Take it from my experience...

Used him twice... both times he talked me Into the same plea deal the public defender got me. So I guess I spent over $5,000 on 2 separate cases to get the same result a $50 public defender would have gotten me..... edit based on his response. I never went to jail for any crime he represented me for. I had a violation probation out of Broward county which my attorney in Broward got me released while fighting the misdemeanor charge here in lee county, which you represented me for. You got me 9 months probation which is the same offer the PD gave me during my first appearance. Sorry this is just the truth others may have different experiences but it was a waste of money for me.

We would highly recommend attorney Scott Kuhn. After speaking with his legal staff who were very pleasant and professional a free consultation was scheduled.We spoke on the phone with Attorney Kuhn about possibly pursuing a lawsuit. He took his time and after listening to the details he felt we might have a case and asked us to sent supporting documentation so he could review it. We signed a retainer and sent the required fee. After reviewing the documents Attorney Kuhn called us to say he thought that the cost and time may not be beneficial for us, but, if we chose to go forward he would support our decision. After discussing our options we decided not to pursue the lawsuit. He said he would be returning our full retainer. We said he should keep some money as he did spend time looking over and discussing our options. He said he would not. It was so refreshing to come across an honest lawyer! Thank you Attorney Scott Kuhn!

Four months ago my husband and I retained Scott Kuhn to handle an estate matter where time was of the essence. By the third month of no action taken, we became concerned. Set up two conference calls in a row to get a status update and were rescheduled the first time, and then left standing by waiting for a call for an hour and a half to learn that Scott wasn't even in the building and would need to reschedule again. We asked for our file and were returned our work product going into month 4 he drafted an email! to us saying we didn't have much of a case. Meanwhile we needed representation at a meeting and Scott failed to return our calls. We were completely abandoned and his neglect damaged our bargaining strength. Have consulted 3 different attorneys who think the case has merit and all willing to get to work! Regret the day we retained Scott- who has ghosted our request for return of our retainer- Not a harsh critic of other attorneys because I am an attorney- but this man tooknour money and sis absolutely nothing- - I fell for the good reviews- I hope you don't!

I was in a custody/divorce case in 2013/2014 and Susan was my savior during that time. She got back to me in a timely manner when I had questions or information to give her. I was involved in a case involving a newborn baby and false allegations and after a year of little or no contact with my daughter I am now a thriving father of a beautiful little girl and spend half of my time with her. I am a man and for this to have happened after reading nightmare after nightmare of similar cases I am sure that Susan was a vital tool in bring the truth out strategically throughout the process. If you find yourself going through a similar situation in the Fort Myers area I would highly recommend you call Susan and explain to her your situation

After 5 years, 5 attorneys and 25k latter i was blessed to find Mrs. Susan Lorene Ray to take over those useless attorneys that took their time just to profit from my situation and probably never even looked at my file. What all the others attorneys couldn't do in 5 years Susan did in such a little time with excellent results. She is passionate in what she does and treats everyone on her side with so much respect and care ,On the other hand she is very aggressive protecting your interest, Just what i was looking for. When compared to the other 5 attorneys they were not even close to her expertise. when i was at a hearing I had the other attorney tried to intimidate me but Susan came to my rescue and put him in his place, She intimidate me and i was on her side, That was awesome. Anyways don't waste you time around like i did and go straight to the best, trust me you will save money and get the results you deserve. Thanks Susan.

I hired Ryan Dugan in 2015 for small claims against a construction contractor. Ryan NEVER returns calls purposely avoids the calls when I call then I immediately use another phone and he answers! I even had friends standing there and witnessed such action. I sent emails text messages NOTHING back no response. It is now going on 2 years and still no progress. I showed at his office twice only to get the run around and lies that he is waiting on the judges office. Surprise I call the office and they know of no such thing and have not received any request by my attorney. Matter fact they cannot speak to me it must go thru my attorney. This man not even attorney will not give an answer as to why such odd behavior and lack of communication and response. I even advised him of my intentions to file with the Florida bar and go as far as Washington and he gives no response and does not care. I would never recommend him to anyone and he should not be practicing law and harming individuals and the public.

I've tried a few business attorneys over the years. They're often too big, too expensive or too inattentive for my small business. Ryan Dugan is the only lawyer I would currently recommend. He's very knowledgeable and focused on my business needs. He's helped me make sound decisions on legal issues from real estate deals to contract review and saved me from making a sizable mistake on at least one recent real estate negotiation. I recommend you never make a real estate purchase, or sign a contract without your attorney and I highly recommend hiring Ryan Dugan.

She solicited me away from my management position, hired me & then only worked with me for 14 business days before firing me!

What a Foreclosure Lawyer Can Do for You

A foreclosure lawyer specializes in helping homeowners navigate the legal complexities of foreclosure, working to protect their rights and potentially save their homes. Foreclosure lawyers assist homeowners facing foreclosure by negotiating with lenders, filing legal defenses, and representing them in court. They also help with loan modifications, short sales, and other alternatives to foreclosure. Whether you’re behind on mortgage payments or already in foreclosure proceedings, a lawyer can help you explore your legal options and work toward a solution.

If you’re at risk of losing your home, a foreclosure lawyer can provide guidance on how to stop or delay the foreclosure process and protect your financial future.

When Should I Hire a Foreclosure Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a foreclosure lawyer in several situations where you are facing financial difficulties with your mortgage. Common reasons to hire a lawyer include:

  • Facing foreclosure proceedings: If your lender has initiated foreclosure proceedings, a lawyer can help you file a legal defense and explore options for stopping or delaying the process.
  • Loan modification: If you want to modify the terms of your mortgage to make payments more manageable, a lawyer can help you negotiate with your lender and ensure that the modification complies with legal standards.
  • Challenging the foreclosure: If you believe your lender has violated foreclosure laws or the terms of your mortgage agreement, a lawyer can help you challenge the foreclosure in court.
  • Stopping a foreclosure sale: If your home is about to be sold at a foreclosure auction, a lawyer may be able to file for a temporary restraining order or injunction to halt the sale.
  • Short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure: If you cannot afford to keep your home but want to avoid foreclosure, a lawyer can assist with arranging a short sale or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, where you voluntarily transfer ownership of the home to the lender to avoid foreclosure.
  • Filing for bankruptcy: If you’re unable to manage your mortgage debt and other financial obligations, a lawyer can advise whether filing for bankruptcy might stop foreclosure and help you restructure your debts.

Hiring a lawyer as soon as possible - especially when foreclosure is imminent - can provide you with more legal options to save your home or limit financial damages.

What Does a Foreclosure Lawyer Do?

A foreclosure lawyer provides a variety of legal services to homeowners facing foreclosure, working to protect their rights and help them avoid losing their homes. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Negotiating with lenders: A lawyer can negotiate with your lender to modify your mortgage or create a repayment plan, helping you avoid foreclosure by securing more favorable terms.
  • Filing a legal defense: If your lender is improperly foreclosing or has made errors in the foreclosure process, a lawyer can file a legal defense, challenging the foreclosure in court. Defenses may include violations of foreclosure laws, predatory lending practices, or failure to follow the terms of the mortgage.
  • Representing you in court: A lawyer can represent you in foreclosure proceedings, whether you are defending against the foreclosure, seeking more time to negotiate with the lender, or filing for bankruptcy.
  • Stopping or delaying foreclosure sales: If your home is scheduled for a foreclosure auction, a lawyer can help file a motion to stop or delay the sale, giving you time to explore other options.
  • Advising on bankruptcy: A foreclosure lawyer can assess whether filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy would be beneficial, as bankruptcy can temporarily stop foreclosure and give you time to reorganize your finances.
  • Arranging short sales or deeds in lieu of foreclosure: A lawyer can help facilitate a short sale (selling the property for less than the mortgage balance) or a deed in lieu of foreclosure (transferring the property to the lender), which may allow you to avoid the foreclosure process.

How Are Foreclosure Lawyers Paid?

Foreclosure lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many foreclosure lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For specific legal services, such as negotiating a loan modification or filing a bankruptcy petition, some lawyers offer a flat fee. Flat fees can range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the scope of the work.
  • Retainer: In more complex foreclosure cases, especially those involving ongoing negotiations with lenders or court appearances, a lawyer may require a retainer. This is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case.
  • Contingency fee (rare): In some rare cases, particularly when suing a lender for wrongful foreclosure, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win the case or settle on your behalf.

It’s important to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer upfront, especially if you are facing financial difficulties.

How Much Does a Foreclosure Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a foreclosure lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the amount of time required to resolve the issue. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Foreclosure lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour. For example, a simple case with 10 hours of legal work at $300 per hour would cost $3,000.
  • Flat fees: For straightforward services such as filing for bankruptcy or negotiating a loan modification, flat fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the work.
  • Retainers: In more complex or ongoing foreclosure cases, a lawyer may require a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the length of the case and the lawyer’s experience.

In addition to legal fees, you may also need to cover additional costs, such as court filing fees or expenses related to property appraisals.

Top Questions to Ask a Foreclosure Lawyer

Before hiring a foreclosure lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the necessary experience and approach to help you. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with foreclosure cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling foreclosure cases similar to yours and has successfully helped homeowners avoid foreclosure or negotiate better terms.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost of their services.
  3. What are my options for stopping foreclosure?
    Ask the lawyer to explain the different legal strategies available for stopping or delaying foreclosure, such as loan modifications, filing a legal defense, or bankruptcy.
  4. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the chances of successfully avoiding or delaying foreclosure.
  5. How long will the process take?
    Foreclosure cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take and what factors might affect the timeline.
  6. Will I need to go to court?
    Ask whether your case is likely to settle out of court or if a trial may be necessary. If a trial is possible, ask what steps the lawyer will take to prepare.
  7. What steps can I take to protect my home?
    Ask the lawyer for advice on steps you can take to protect your home, such as making partial payments, negotiating with your lender, or exploring foreclosure alternatives.

How to Check the Credibility of a Foreclosure Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable foreclosure lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions against them.
  • Look for foreclosure experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in foreclosure law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on foreclosure matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) or who have specialized certifications in real estate or foreclosure law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a foreclosure lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Mortgage documents: Bring a copy of your mortgage agreement, payment history, and any correspondence you’ve received from your lender, including foreclosure notices or demand letters.
  • Financial information: Provide information about your income, expenses, and debts, as this will help the lawyer assess your financial situation and determine the best legal strategy for your case.
  • Previous communications with your lender: If you’ve already tried to negotiate with your lender, bring any emails, letters, or records of phone calls that document these communications.
  • Court documents (if applicable): If foreclosure proceedings have already begun, bring any court documents related to the case.
  • Questions about your legal options: Prepare a list of questions about the foreclosure process, your options for avoiding foreclosure, and how the lawyer plans to help you.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for protecting your home from foreclosure.
