THE MOST IMPORTANT FORECLOSURE CASES IN FLORIDA COURTS!
Author: Matthew D. Weidner, Esq.
Tomorrow’s Oral Arguments before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, beginning at 9:00 a.m. is one of the most important appellate foreclosure cases to be argued in a very long time.
Along with Verizzo, BAC Funding, Frost and Regions, this case has the distinct possibility of changing the landscape for foreclosure defense not just in this state but nationwide. Indeed the eyes of the entire country are focused on this important case….and you have the opportunity to see it all go down live. I am profoundly grateful to the community of foreclosure defense advocates who are fighting to hold the practice of foreclosure law to the very highest levels of professionalism and practice. It is a tremendous honor to be part of this experience, and I am especially grateful to April Charney, Greg Clark, George Gingo, Randal Reder, Daniel Rock, Dominic Salfi, David Acosta and all the other committed advocates who have supported this effort.
Log on and participate in this fundamental and so very important part of our American judicial experience!
After arguments, I will be again posting all cases relied on and other important documents. Today I want to share with you an important document that includes many of the most important cases that any advocate needs to know in every single foreclosure case.

Active participation requires that all the players know the rules under which mediations will be conducted. Effective participation will require the defense practitioner to know how to use the new rules and process to the client’s advantage. The Supreme Court’s Model Order is found below and is required reading for every practitioner

I recognize that it is hard to read here, but trust me when I say that it’s worth your time to click on the image to see just exactly what the elements are in a foreclosure mediation.

The complexity of this chart illustrates a much larger issue and that is if we the members of the ethical and responsible foreclosure bar do not aggressively participate in this foreclosure mediation process, we’re going to be left behind as courts succumb to the pressures of the foreclosure mills, the Florida Legislature and to the lending industry who have already steamrolled over government and industries at the national level. Given the immense pressures the foreclosure crisis is causing across the country and especially in this state, it really is a testament to their integrity when our independent and committed judges stand up and provide real victories in the fight to ensure that individuals rights in foreclosure cases are being upheld and respected. We need to continue to support these judges and continue to provide all judges with real facts and critical information they need to
