  Exceptional Personal Injury Firm I engaged Consumer Law Attorneys to assist me with a personal injury matter that occurred during my pregnancy. It was a particularly frightening experience, especially during the third trimester. From my initial consultation with Attorney Young Kim, I found him to be informative, professional, and friendly. Throughout the process, he was always available to answer my questions, which gave me great confidence and allowed me to focus on my family rather than the case. Attorney Kim reached a settlement that exceeded my expectations. I am extremely pleased with the outcome. My baby and I are doing well, thanks to Mr. Kim and his dedicated paralegal, Elaine. I highly recommend Consumer Law.

  Excellent Legal Representation I recently had the pleasure of working with Consumer Law Attorneys (CLA) on my personal injury case. Attorney Young Kim and his Paralegal Elaine were always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. I received a fair settlement that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend CLA to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. Their exceptional service and genuine care for their clients set them apart from their competitors.

  I stupidly signed as a Co Borrower for a young family member.  I had no idea home was in foreclosure until contacted by a process server. Consumer Law worked with me to stop foreclosure until house could be sold.  They saved me from financial ruin!

FAQs — Tallahassee Foreclosure DefenseFrequently Asked Questions From Leon County Homeowners

What happens if I ignore the foreclosure lawsuit?

If you don’t file a response within 20 days, the court can enter a default judgment against you. The lender can then set a sale date. After the auction, the new owner can ask for a writ of possession to have you removed. Ignoring the case closes doors like mediation, loan modification, or payment plans. A short, timely response keeps options alive.

Will bankruptcy stop my foreclosure sale in Tallahassee?

Yes—if filed before the sale. Chapter 13 stops the sale right away and lets you catch up missed payments over time. Chapter 7 also pauses things, but it usually won’t help you keep the home long-term unless other factors apply. Timing matters: filing after the auction won’t undo a completed sale.

Can I apply for a loan modification once a sale date is set?

Often, yes. Many lenders will still review a complete application even with a sale date on the calendar. The loan modification package must be submitted at least 37 days prior to the scheduled sale date. If they are reviewing a full package, we can ask the court to postpone the sale or use bankruptcy to stop it while the review finishes. Start the paperwork early—pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and a hardship letter.

Is court representation required?

You’re allowed to represent yourself, but foreclosure is a lawsuit with strict rules and deadlines. A lawyer can file the right responses, challenge errors, request mediation, and use tools like Chapter 13 when needed. Proper filings and timing can be the difference between keeping the home and losing it.
