Attorney Wants Foreclosure Filings Halted

CENTRAL FLORIDA -- Thousands of your neighbors may soon be rescued from foreclosure. WFTV found out how one signature could convince the state Supreme Court to halt as much as 80-percent of Florida's foreclosure filings.

Junior Allen just found out his foreclosure proceeding is headed to the Florida Supreme Court. The State Attorney General is investigating his loan and thousands of others in Florida.

The lenders hired three big law firms, accused of fraudulently signing documents to speed the foreclosure process.

"They have no personal knowledge of the issue and they are supposed to. That is what these judges rely on when they issue judgments against homeowners," said Matt Englett, KEL Law Firm.

Attorney Matt Englett has testimony from one of the people hired to just sign documentation. He describes a conference room with thousands of documents. He testified he would sign one affidavit after another, taking no more than a minute on each one.

"Time is money. The longer it takes to get the property back and sell the property, the more money they lose on that loan," Englett said.

Englett filed a petition with Florida's Supreme Court. He wants a stay on all foreclosures being handled by the law firms of David Stern, Marshall Watson, and Shapiro & Fishman.

"It will probably stop in its tracks. About 80-percent of foreclosures currently pending and opened throughout the state of Florida," Englett said.

If Englett is successful, homeowners who have already lost their homes could collect thousands from their lender. For Junior Allen and hundreds of others in Central Florida in the middle of foreclosure, it would buy time to save their home.

"It's overwhelming, it's something I think about every day. I've been going through for months. I really don't have any other options right now," Allen said.

WFTV put a call into each one of the law firms Monday, but had not received any returned calls by Monday evening.
