Florida Bar Speeds Up Process of Helping Homeowners Facing Foreclosure

The Florida Bar recently created an intake form for consumers that wish to receive free assistance from attorneys participating in the Florida Attorneys Saving Homes project. According to The Florida Bar web site, this statewide effort provides a toll-free hotline for consumers that need help avoiding foreclosure, and provides consumers with free legal resources. The online form is intended to speed up the process of getting help, and permits consumers to bypass the toll -free hotline.
