Collections Defense
The banks, credit card lenders, and leasing companies are represented by legal counsel, and you should be as well. We can help protect you from the entry of judgments that will reduce your credit score, garnishment of your bank accounts and wages, and the seizure of your assets.
Foreclosure Defense
Your most precious asset is your home and we will fight to save it for you. Florida is a “judicial foreclosure” state, where mortgage lenders are required to file a lawsuit in order to seize your home.
We have many years of experience in defending these lawsuits and achieving resolutions that result in either saving the family home, or otherwise helping you and your family.
Mortgage Modification
Many lenders are willing to consider the modification of their mortgages to provide for lower monthly payments that the borrower can afford. The modification can involve a lower interest rate, extension of the term, and/or reduction of principal. The borrower is normally required to show that a hardship (such as a job loss, illness, divorce) caused the default in payments, and that the hardship has been overcome (such as through new employment) so that the borrower can now make the monthly payments
We have experience in mortgage modifications, and can help you modify your mortgage so that your payment will be affordable.
Bankruptcy
We will use our best efforts to keep you out of bankruptcy, but in many cases it is the most effective tool to obtain the relief that you need. Todd has over 30 years’ experience handling bankruptcies for individuals and businesses. His bankruptcy practice is broad based. It includes not only the filing of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, but also the handling of litigation matters that arise in some bankruptcies. These include dischargeability litigation, means test challenges, and exemptions disputes. The representation of creditors as well as debtors has equipped Todd with the experience, knowledge, and perspective to achieve the best result for you.
Civil Litigation
Todd is an experienced trial lawyer and has represented both individuals and businesses in civil disputes for over 30 years. Todd can represent you in real estate litigation, contract disputes, mortgage foreclosures, collections, probate litigation, business tort cases (such as fraud cases and interference with contract), and bankruptcy litigation. If a positive result is possible we can achieve it for you either via settlement, mediation, or trial.
