I searched the web for an attorney as I had no referrals. I deliberately wanted to choose an attorney that had experience in our area (real estate) and I also wanted a small firm so that I knew my work wouldn't be passed on to junior associates who would have to refresh themselves each time we needed to converse. We couldn't be more pleased with Daniel and his staff. Our experience with his knowledge and professionalism exceeded our expectations. He never told us 'what we wanted to hear' but kept us informed. If we ever had further legal needs he would be our #1 choice.

We have worked with Daniel for over three years on our "case". We were not always sure what was happening but his periodic updates frankly were enough. He took what we thought was a pretty hopeless situation for us and turned it into a "victory". Not really sure how it all happened but we were amazed when he told us we would be able to settle...favorably. I highly recommend his work!

The employees of the office of Marc H. Levy are incredible! After hiring Mr. Levy as our attorney, he was very personable and friendly and always treated us with professionalism and respect. We also dealt with Lisa and she is a gift! She went well above and beyond for us. She usually returned our phone calls immediately or definitely by the end of the business day. Should anyone we personally know ever end up in our predicament, we would absolutely refer them to this office. We are very grateful for their help and guidance.

The process of filing bankruptcy is fraught with uncertainty and fear. It’s difficult to know who to trust. After initially consulting with another bankruptcy attorney who told us our case was complex, we met with Marc Levy. We are very happy with the way he handled our case. Several opportunities arose that allowed us to observe Marc's skills in advocating for his clients. At every turn, we were impressed with how he was able to negotiate based on our particular needs and circumstances. His interaction with us was insightful, professional, and productive. When we needed him, he and his assistant Lisa were there at every turn. Based on how things unfolded from the beginning through the end of our bankruptcy journey, we are convinced that our experience was much better than it might have been because we chose Marc Levy. We highly recommend him!

Marc helped me with my chapter 13 filing several years ago. He was very knowledgeable of the ins and outs of the bankruptcy law and how it would apply to my case. His advice was spot on. He was very thorough and there were no surprises with my case due to unforeseen circumstances. His assistant Lisa was great. She was always available to answer questions and help out in any way she could. They make a great team.

Attorney Khawaja represented me in my recent bankruptcy case. The entire process was very fast because Mr. Khawaja was very knowledgeable about the bankruptcy laws. He explained the process, the forms that needed to be completed and provided a detail description of all the supporting documentation I would need to complete the process. He always responded to my questions quickly and with great patience. I have worked with attorneys in the past and Mr. Khawaja is one of the very best I have dealt with.

Bankruptcy Attorney, Mr. Rehan Khawaja and his Legal Assistant, Mr. John Walker are professionals who I highly recommend in helping with your legal concerns. Mr. Khawaja from day one of my initial consultation was so very understanding, professional and brilliant at knowing how to help me. He really put me at ease with my situation since I was unsure how most of the process worked. Anytime I needed to speak with Mr. Khawaja, he was immediately available and always willing to explain in detail what I did not understand. What I realized about working with this attorney is that he is extremely proficient in every part of what he does. He did not waste time on any matter and is completely brilliant in his field understanding how the law works. For my 341 meeting, I was completely confident knowing he was there to help represent me. When I noticed other people in the meeting with different lawyers I knew immediately I had chosen the right person as Mr. Khawaja is always highly professional in both appearance and attitude. He is a highly qualified lawyer and I am so THANKFUL he has been able to help me lift the burden of debt from my shoulders so I can breathe. Thank you so very much for all of your help and time!!! I couldn’t believe when I received a letter in the mail stating my bankruptcy was discharged. I had been contemplating bankruptcy for most of my adult life and was always told by others how hard it was to do and how it would not work or be good. I was so nervous and concerned going into this, but Mr. Khawaja made it seem so easy and simple. I am truly amazed by how excellent a lawyer he is. In addition, his legal assistant, Mr. Walker is so knowledgeable, helpful, kind and together these two are the experience you need in order to get through a bankruptcy.

Rehan was a real person helping me to navigate a very difficult legal case, due to another lawyer's shoddy work. He took my case in the most difficult time. He saved my life from going to jail because of misunderstanding that occurred in the initial BK process. He helped to restructure my debt with a Ch. 13 100% repayment plan. He recently helped me an my husband to gain permission from the trustee to purchase our first home. I am so grateful for Mr. Khawaja's ability to turn my life around with his hard work. He provides honesty and demonstrates a great proficiency for his work. Anyone in the Florida area should work with Rehan, he is the absolute best bankruptcy lawyer out there. He will treat you like a real person!

I feel very fortunate to have met Kokie through my son who asked the Senior Project Manager of the utility company which he worked for for a referral. The Project Manager had utilized Kokie's services for utility right-of-way negotiations. I needed someone to complete my father's probate action that had stalled. It was a very complex probate that involved the sale of real property. When I first met with Kokie, she volunteered to pick up the case file from the previous attorney. Kokie immediately took charge of my father's estate and through her legal expertise and knowledge she reworked a complex and lengthy Purchase and Sale Agreement that led to the successful sale of the real estate. That was the "easy" part. Next, she worked to create an equitable solution to the Asset Distribution process. Kokie communicated with each of my five siblings and proposed a TEDRA agreement that allowed some of the remaining real estate to remain with some of the family while the others received their share in monetary value. She then connected me with an outstanding CPA who worked out the dollars and cents and the capital gains issues of the distribution. Oh, and also during this process, I hired Kokie to create our wills and Community Property Agreement. I then referred three of my sisters to Kokie to have their wills and directives drawn up as well. Kokie is a very sensitive woman that worked with compassion and professionalism in helping my sisters. I could go on an on. I will say that if you only want an attorney to hold your hand, then don't hire Kokie. She is an aggressive, intuitive and knowledgeable lawyer who will take charge of your legal needs and work with diligence and efficiency in seeing them through to resolution. In closing I would like to say that I have made a friend for life in Kokie and will most certainly call on her in the future for all of my legal needs.

They were able to get us a permanent loan modification in 4 months. I cannot praise this law firm enough. They go out of their way to get the job done.

The first attorney I hired was incompetent, but after the first phone consult I had with Dana, I understood how lucky I was to have located her!. I count myself very fortunate to have hired Dana. She has integrity, is very knowledgeable, responsive and has an excellent support staff. Dana is also very personable and friendly, but still professional. Excellent communicator. I wouldn't hesitate to refer her to anyone looking to file bankruptcy and/or loan mod.

Navigating the tumultuous waters of divorce proceedings across state lines is akin to traversing a legal labyrinth. When my boyfriend found himself embroiled in such a situation—his marital saga spanning South Florida to Pennsylvania, with three children in the balance—the task of finding competent legal representation seemed daunting. Enter Melissa Alfonso, a beacon of hope amidst the legal quagmire. Hired as the third attorney in our quest for resolution, Melissa immediately distinguished herself through her proactive approach and unwavering commitment to our case. From the outset, Melissa exhibited a depth of understanding and insight that surpassed our previous experiences. Unlike her predecessors, she didn't just handle the legal paperwork; she immersed herself in our situation, offering invaluable guidance and strategic direction. Communication, often a sore point in legal matters, became a cornerstone of Melissa's practice. She kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring we were equipped with the knowledge and clarity necessary to navigate the complexities of the legal process. In a high-conflict scenario exacerbated by the presence of a formidable opponent—a seasoned litigator known colloquially as the "battle axe" of the Seminole County Court—Melissa proved to be an indomitable force. Refusing to be intimidated, she met each challenge head-on, skillfully advocating for my boyfriend's rights with poise and determination. Even in the face of an initially unfavorable judgment, Melissa's tenacity remained unwavering. Armed with a meticulous understanding of the case and pertinent legal precedents, she crafted a compelling motion, exposing the glaring injustices of the ruling and championing my boyfriend's right to due process. Though our journey is far from over, Melissa's exceptional advocacy has been nothing short of remarkable. In her capable hands, we find solace amidst the legal storm, confident that justice will ultimately prevail. Melissa Alfonso isn't just an attorney; she's a lifesaver, guiding us through the darkest of legal turbulences with unwavering expertise and compassion.

Frank and Rosie have been worth their weight in gold. From the first time I went to see him about 8 years ago until this moment. He talks straight, he tells you what you are facing, and he does his job far above and beyond the amount of monies you pay him. He has filed a chapter 13 for me, and most recently he assisted me in getting my home loan modified. My principal mortgage payment went from $1975.00 reduced to $725.00. Now as he told me there is no guarantee they would approve it, but Ill say this for Frank and Rosie.... if there is a way to do it they will find that path and walk you down it. I had my responsibilities as well to do my part such as when I was contacted to provide documents and information it was paramount to get that info to them ASAP. But, if you seek a attorney who will serve you well this is your stop. Call him or email him NOW!!!

My husband and I hired Jonathan after having a dispute with a contractor. This was the first time either one of us had ever hired a lawyer. Jonathan was highly recommended by a colleague and we immediately understood why. I texted him requesting urgent help on a Thursday night as our issue was time sensitive. He responded that evening and by Friday morning, we had hired him. He was able to efficiently gather enough information to start addressing our urgent concern that Friday afternoon. Within the week, our situation was resolved to our satisfaction. His responsiveness and professionalism was outstanding. He helped set expectations and educate us. He was upfront about expected costs for our case and when we ended up exceeding that, he honored his initial quote. We are in the middle of an adoption and he told us to take the difference of the quote and actual cost of his services and apply it towards the adoption. It was not expected and he certainly was not obligated to do this but was greatly appreciated. If we ever need a lawyer again, we will not hesitate to reach out. I have already provided his information to another co-worker.

My job was eliminated after 18 yrs. I was 1 of 3 over age 60 eliminated. Since there were new employees and less seniority employees , i felt i was let go unfairly with age discrimination. Jonathan fought for a new severance contract against the medical corporation and won. He achieved double the severance i was offered per "their protocol" that was unfair. Jonathan was kind, calm, explained what i didnt understand ( which was most legal terminology!) And worked with me as my own advocate. Advising and suggesting. Timely , tenacious ( did not let down his drive to succeed in our goal.) Smart , timely, direct. I consulted and hired him within 2 days of losing my job. Highly recommend Jonathan.

Mr. Jeffrey Sprigg is a God-sent attorney for us !! I am a LANDLORD. My wife and I are eternally grateful to Mr. Sprigg for his guidance, and the manner he represented us in a trial in the County Court. Our tenant was harassing us for a long time, and he sued us with his bogus claim, for no fault of ours. We were so worried that we would lose to this person, and he would find loopholes to delay vacating our house, but Mr. Sprigg came as our savior. He is so knowledgeable and confident that every time he stood up and talked, we could see the opposing attorneys were extremely nervous. The presiding judge was giving his gracious nods of concurrence to Mr. Sprigg, and he lead us to victory ! He forced our tenant to vacate without them causing any damage to our house. THANK YOU MR.

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.
