If you received a notice regarding foreclosure of your home or other property
or you fear that you may lose your home – You have options and we can help!

Dealing with the potential loss of your home or commercial property brings fear, stress and uncertainty.  Mortgage foreclosure is a complicated legal process.  Anton Legal Group provides legal representation to Tampa Bay homeowners and property owners, both individuals and companies, that are facing a foreclosure lawsuit or are behind in mortgage payments.  OUR BUSINESS IS TO ADVOCATE FOR HOMEOWNERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS. 

No property owner should endure foreclosure proceedings without the assistance of an experienced attorney.  We will defend your property rights and delay or prevent the bank from seizing your home or commercial property.  We review your documents and circumstances in order to create a specifically tailored plan for your foreclosure defense.  This plan may include alternatives such as:

• Defeating the foreclosure lawsuit;
• Legally defending the foreclosure lawsuit;
• Negotiating with lenders to modify the terms of your loan (loan modification);
• Participating in meaningful mediation with the lender; 
• Allowing for the private sale of your property;
• Providing additional time in order for you to exercise any of your available legal options; and
• Personal or corporate judgment avoidance.

We offer a FREE CONSULTATION to those facing foreclosure who would like to explore their legal options.  Please call our office at 813-443-5249 to schedule your FREE APPOINTMENT.  

Beware of non-attorney loan modification companies who claim they can assist you in modifying your mortgage. The Foreclosure Rescue Act imposes restrictions on these companies, including prohibiting the collection of up front fees for these services.  Visit http://www.myfloridalegal.com/mortgagefraud for more information from the Florida Attorney General.

Under Florida law, you may only have 20 days to respond or answer to a foreclosure complaint.  It is extremely important that you act immediately to save your property.  

WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING TO YOUR FREE CONSULTATION

The more specific the information you can provide during your initial free consultation, the more specific the advice your attorney can provide about:  1) the options and strategies available to you and 2) the realistic expectations for your case. 

Providing each and every item listed below at your initial free consultation is often impractical or even impossible.  A comprehensive consultation can still be conducted with only a partial set of these documents.

Plan to bring to your free initial consultation as many of the following items as possible:

1.  Any and all court papers (often referred to as pleadings) should a foreclosure action already have been filed against you.  This should specifically include, but not be limited to, the Complaint for foreclosure along with its various attachments or exhibits.

2.  All of the closing or purchase paperwork which you received when you initially purchased the home or property.

3.  Any correspondence between yourself and the law firm or collection agency who has worked on your case.

4.  Your last two Federal Income Tax Returns along with their attachments.

5.  Simple knowledge of your other various assets and liabilities. 

Remember--having more specific information allows you and your attorney to craft the most efficient and effective strategy for your case at the very beginning. 

WHAT YOUR CASE MAY COST

We will openly discuss with you the anticipated "fees" and the anticipated "costs" associated with the services you need.  Often a flat (sum certain) fee can be quoted at the very beginning.  Payment plans may also be discussed.

You have options – Call today 813-443-5249

If your desire is to keep your home or property, to avoid a deficiency judgment,
or to secure the additional time needed to exercise any of your legal options,
then rely on Anton Legal Group for honest answers and personal service.

We are not a foreclosure factory.
