  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 — Gainesville Foreclosure DefenseQuestions From Alachua County Clients

Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure immediately?

Yes. Filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Gainesville immediately triggers the automatic stay, which stops the sale and other collection efforts. This gives you time to create a repayment plan and catch up arrears. Chapter 7 also pauses the process, but it’s usually short-term and not a long-term solution for keeping your home.

Do I have to go to court in Gainesville?

Not always. Your attorney can handle most hearings in Alachua County for you. You may need to attend mediation or trial if the case goes that far, but many homeowners resolve their foreclosure through modification, settlement, or Chapter 13 filings without appearing in court.

Can I stay in my house while the case is pending?

Yes. Homeowners usually stay in their property until after the foreclosure auction and the court issues a writ of possession to the new owner. That process often takes months, so you don’t have to leave right after receiving the lawsuit.

What if my foreclosure sale is already scheduled?

You still have options, but you must act quickly. Filing Chapter 13 before the auction will stop it. An attorney may also request an emergency motion to postpone the sale if the lender is reviewing a modification or if errors exist. After the auction, your options become very limited.
