Gainesville Foreclosure Mediation Lawyers
Members of the American Arbitration Association (AAA)
In recent years there have been a record number of foreclosure cases. This is especially true for the state of Florida. The Florida Supreme Court has come to recognize this influx and, in doing so, has ruled through an administrative order that all residential mortgage foreclosures must mediate before proceeding to trial.
In order to facilitate this requirement, a judicial circuit must utilize a program manager. The 8th, 17th and 18th circuit programs are run by the AAA (American Arbitration Association). A panel of AAA members assists with mediating foreclosure cases. Included in this panel are attorneys Robert O. Stripling and Sylvia K. Stripling. They are both are Florida Supreme Court Certified Circuit Civil Mediators with years of litigation experience and can provide you with skilled foreclosure mediation services.

Advantage to Lenders and Borrowers: Federal Programs and Alternatives
Foreclosure mediation has proven to be very successful for both lenders and borrowers as an alternative to trial. Many times, a trial can be lengthy and expensive in an already economically distressed situation. Both borrowers and lenders can reach positive and efficient solutions by utilizing government programs available to help them such as the HAMP (Home Affordable Modification Program).
Mediation can assist with many foreclosure issues such as:
- Mortgage modification
- Re-financing
- Short sales
- Deed in lieu of foreclosure
In some situations, pre-suit mediation is possible. This is generally for those situations in which parties are reasonably aware of the facts of their situation.
