Attorney Christopher Forrest has advised and represented thousands of Florida homeowners in strategic mortgage defaults and foreclosure defense.

What We Do

For clients who want to walk away from their mortgage, we have developed The Forrest Law Firm Strategic Default Plan®. If you want to escape from burdensome mortgage debt or an underwater mortgage, this may be the solution you've been searching for.

We aggressively fight against foreclosure lawsuits and seek solutions including negotiated settlements. For clients who do not wish to keep their properties, The Forrest Law Firm utilizes strategies designed to protect them from deficiency judgments and other adverse financial consequences. We can also use techniques that maximize the amount of time our clients can keep possession of their properties before turning them over to the lender. These techniques give our clients much needed additional time.

For clients with investment or rental properties, The Forrest Law Firm has developed legal techniques to maximize their rights as property owners and landlords and, if the client wishes to surrender the property at the end of the litigation, maximize the chances that the lender will release the client from any deficiency judgment claims or other financial obligations on the mortgage loan. When a foreclosure case is properly defended, it often takes a year to 18 months to reach a final resolution.
