Foreclosure Defense Lawyers Serving Hialeah and Miami-Dade County

No. All legal documents in Miami-Dade County courts must be filed in English. However, our team in Hialeah is bilingual, and we’ll prepare and translate everything so you fully understand the process. Court interpreters are also available if needed. You don’t lose any rights because of language barriers.

In some cases, we can act within 24–48 hours. Options include:

• Filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy before the sale, which stops it instantly.
• Filing emergency motions in court to cancel or postpone the auction if errors or ongoing negotiations exist.
• Negotiating directly with the lender if loss mitigation is underway.
  The sooner you contact us, the more likely we can stop the sale in time.

Not immediately. You remain in the property until:

• The case ends in a judgment and the home is auctioned, and
• The buyer gets a Certificate of Title and a writ of possession.
  Only then can the sheriff remove you. Many homeowners stay in their homes for months while the case is pending.

No. While Chapter 13 is often the strongest tool, other options include:

• Loan modification or repayment plan
• Defending the case in court (errors in documents, lender standing, or improper fees)
• Short sale or deed in lieu if you want to exit without a foreclosure judgment
  Bankruptcy is powerful when time is short, but it’s not the only path.
