Florida lawyers persistence keeps home owners from foreclosure

Florida lawyers persistence and understanding of the process is working to keep some home owners from losing their home to foreclosure. Through the formation of FLASH - Florida Attorneys Saving Homes, Florida lawyers have volunteered to assist distressed home owners in working with their lenders to fend off foreclosure by workouts or loan modifications.

The process has not been an easy one as lawyers finding themselves often dealing with slow to respond or no responsive lenders. Having the persistence and knowledge has resulted in success however as documented by The Florida Bar News.

Hats off and a big thank you to the The Florida Bar; The Florida Bar Foundation; Florida Legal Services; the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section; the Business Law Section; the Young Lawyers Division; Attorneys Title Insurance Fund; and law schools whose joint effort has kept Florida families in their homes.
