Foreclosure Defense Attorney
Protecting your Home. Defending your Rights
At FGC Attorneys, we understand that facing foreclosure can be one of the most stressful experiences a Florida homeowner can endure. Whether your hardship stems from unexpected financial difficulties, property damage, or a dispute with your mortgage servicer, our team is here to help you protect what matters most — your home and your future.
Understanding Foreclosure in Florida
Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, which means lenders must file a lawsuit in court to foreclose on your property. This process gives homeowners the opportunity to fight back and assert their legal defenses before losing their home.
Once a foreclosure complaint is filed, you typically have 20 days to respond — missing this deadline could result in a default judgment and loss of your property rights. A Florida foreclosure defense attorney ensures your case is handled quickly and strategically from day one.
Common Foreclosure in Florida
Our team evaluates every aspect of your case to identify powerful legal defenses, including:
- Improper Service or Notice – The lender must strictly comply with Florida’s procedural rules.
- Lack of Standing – The lender must prove ownership of the promissory note and mortgage.
- Loan Modification Errors – Servicers often mishandle modification or loss mitigation requests.
- Payment Misapplication or Accounting Errors – Many foreclosures arise from lender mistakes.
- Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) – Protects you against unfair collection practices.
- Fraud, Forgery, or Predatory Lending – We investigate whether your loan was obtained or transferred improperly.

What Our Clients Say
EXCELLENT Based on 141 reviews Posted on Kaine SanchezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hugo and his team are absolutely excellent. They helped us with a multi-year case that was truly a burden on our mental health. We were being wrongfully accused of malpractice at the same time as being taken advantage of by a Seller who had a history of nefarious litigation for minuscule things. Hugo and Rachel kept working behind the scenes and after almost 2 years of litigation they reached a settlement with the other party in which we were able to recover almost all of our funds. They did not do the little things that most attorneys do where they make pointless emails or calls just to rack up billable hours, they stayed the course and ensured that our company was protected and our name was not dragged thru the mud. I cannot recommend Hugo and his team enough. They are true bulldogs that will go to war for you and ensure you have a satisfiable outcome to your case.. if you are struggling with a legal battle in the state of Florida, CALL HUGO!!! Thanks again Hugo and Rachel!!Posted on Hpro ConstructionTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing team! Hugo helped me out with a case and everything went extremely smooth. They updated us frequently and let us know what every step was. We ended up winning our case and I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with them. Highly recommend! - Jose HerreraPosted on Barbara IngramTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a consultation with an attorney at FGC today, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. My experience started when I called, and an actual person answered the phone (a rarity these days). I was immediately transferred to an intake specialist, Gabby, who was so nice. She was very empathetic and talked to me like a person, not a potential case number. She set up an appointment to speak to an attorney (Andrea) within a few hours. I was amazed. I have never had this level of service from any law firm. Andrea was so understanding and really helped us by patiently explaining the entire process. This firm clearly cares about people. If my situation progresses and I need to move forward with litigation, there is no other firm I would consider. And I don't say that lightly.Posted on Luis VillafaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Muy Buena experiencing loss recomiendo may eficientesPosted on Nicolas PradaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. FGC helped my parents when their homeowners insurance didn’t want to help fix hurricane damage, but what truly stood out to me is how they helped me personally when an issue I had didn’t fall under their scope of law at the time. They went out of their way to point me in the correct direction just because it was the right thing to do. They have since expanded their scope and I can’t recommend anyone but FGC.Posted on Caridad ValdiviaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Un excelente trabajo de parte de todo el equipo! Especial a la abogada Elizabeth Hernández!!!Posted on Yeisy QuinteroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great attorneys. Great communicationPosted on David GruenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hugo and his team are absolutely incredible. The law is extremely complex and they make it so easy to understand and digestible I felt like I knew exactly what the firm was doing and how that was helping me. Their responsiveness is second to none as I have worked with other firms in the past where I felt like they were just telling me things. Giving them 5 stars because I can’t give them more.
