Homeowners in the Sarasota and Manatee have only 20 days in which to file a response to a foreclosure lawsuit. After that 20-day period, your options may become very limited. We strongly recommend that you take immediate action to retain an experienced foreclosure defense attorney if you have been served with a foreclosure lawsuit. If you wait too long, you can severely damage your legal rights.
