Foreclosure Defense
Judicial-state defenses and loan modification.
Foreclosure Defense sits inside our Civil Litigation practice.
Civil litigation is about leverage. Well-prepared pleadings, targeted discovery, and credible trial posture change the economics of any dispute. We build that leverage on the first filing, not the last.

“They treated me like family. Recovered more than I thought possible and they did it in Spanish when I couldn't do it in English.”
“We were facing deportation and lost. Maria walked us through every filing. Today we are legal permanent residents.”
“The construction company denied everything. Gallardo's team had the medical records, site photos, and depositions lined up. We settled for more than double the original offer.”

Answers that cite the statute.
Can I really stay in my home during foreclosure?
Yes, typically. Florida is a judicial-foreclosure state; the case can take 12–24+ months even without affirmative defenses, longer with them.
What is a motion to dismiss?
A pleading-stage motion arguing the complaint fails to state a legal claim. Granted dismissals can end the case before discovery.
