When you’re looking for an attorney to represent you during your foreclosure and beyond, you’ll find that not all lawyers or the law firms they work for are the same. Not only do they differ in their field of specialty, but they also differ in their level of commitment to their clients and ability to represent them in unique scenarios. At Claim Surplus, we can help you identify qualities that you want in a foreclosure law firm in Florida. Read our brief guide below to learn more.

Loyal

Your foreclosure lawyer is your advocate while you’re working through a difficult process. It’s essential that the law firm you choose to work with shows loyalty to you by being willing to go to bat for you when banks or other entities are sending intimidating letters regarding your foreclosure or continually calling. Furthermore, your law firm should be willing to represent you after your foreclosure has gone through and there’s a chance at claiming a surplus. Your lawyer should be ready and available to be by your side until the process is completed.

Passionate

Not everyone cares about the work they do, and attorneys are no different. You don’t want to be represented by a lawyer who simply punches a clock to bill you for the work they’re doing then goes through the motions. A lawyer who’s passionate about their work often comes for a law firm that cares about its clients.

Experienced

Every lawyer needs to get their experience somewhere, but like most contractors, you don’t want to be the client whose eggs they’re breaking while learning how to make an omelet. An experienced law firm will know how to handle nearly every situation that arises during your foreclosure.

You can find out how experienced a law firm is by asking about previous cases they’ve worked on, how long they’ve been representing foreclosure clients, and how they’ve addressed some of the strangest situations that arise during practice. Experienced law firms understand that many cases will be similar, but no two will be exactly the same.

Strong communication skills

The ability to communicate is one quality that will distinguish good law firms from great law firms. The ability to effectively communicate how your foreclosure will proceed, provide updates, and the plan they have to claim your surplus after if you get one is important. Most people will go through one foreclosure in their lifetime, so it’s not like you’re going to have vast amounts of experience with the process. Your lawyer will need to effectively communicate to you how things will proceed and what you can expect.

Trustworthy

What do you have if you can’t trust the law firm you’re working with? Our team can help you find a trustworthy lawyer and law firm that has your best interests in mind when putting together your foreclosure defense. Furthermore, you need to have confidence that they’re going to continue to be by your side after the foreclosure should you have a surplus that you’re trying to claim.
