Florida, check your circuit websites. It looks like more and more counties are adopting the “rocket docket” since they received the new allocated money…

Now, I do understand that these dockets need to be cleared, and this may be the only way to process the UNCONTESTED cases, but using this method where the borrowers are represented by an attorney and can show there are issues of materiel fact, which they ALWAYS can, this process in my opinion is a violation of their constitutional rights…

THE MILLS ARE RAMPING UP FAST AND MOVING THESE CASES THROUGH MUCH FASTER…

YOU HAVE 20 DAYS TO ANSWER THE COMPLAINT, IF YOU DO NOT YOU WILL BE DEFAULTED ON THE 23RD DAY…

A SUMMARY JUDGMENT HEARING WILL BE HELD SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND YOU WILL BE OUT OF YOUR HOME…

WE ARE SEEING THE FORECLOSURES OF UNCONTESTED UNREPRESENTED CASES GETTING PUSHED THROUGH IN A MATTER OF MONTHS…

YOU CAN NOT DO THIS WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY ANYMORE…

YOU NEED TO HIRE COUNSEL IMMEDIATELY…
