Former Bank Lawyer Volunteers to Defend Needy Homeowners

MIAMI - April 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Florida is the epicenter of the housing market implosion and ground zero for foreclosures.  Miami courts are now fast tracking foreclosures for trial to clear the huge backlog of cases.  Many homeowners wrongfully lose their homes to foreclosure because they don’t hire trial lawyers that can protect them. Former Bank Lawyer, Bruce Jacobs, of Bruce Jacobs and Associates launched a Pro-Bono Foreclosure Project to help needy homeowners set for trial on Miami’s rocket docket. His first case was March 15th and he won in court, getting the case dismissed and the homeowner is able to keep his home.

“Banks are using robo-witnesses and breaking the rules” said Jacobs.  “My goal is to make sure even the most needy have a fighting chance to save their home. After seeing the list of people set for trial, I went through the court files, found people I thought I could help, and reached out.”  

“It was like a gift from above” said attorney Mark Fladdell, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. “I was literally staring at my file about to give up defending the foreclosure when Bruce called offering to go to trial for me.”

"No Bank should take someone’s home unless they follow the rules and prove their case” said Jacobs. “Most Judges will follow the law if there is a lawyer pointing out that the law is not being followed.”

Jacobs fights banks every day.  He is also the host of “Mortgage Wars with Bruce Jacobs” a weekly radio program on 880 AM the Biz, WZAB in Miami.
