Re: Oppenheim Pilelsky, P.A.’s comments in response to the Final Report and Recommendations on Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Cases (the “Report”) by the Task Force on Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Cases to the Florida Supreme Court (the “Task Force”)
Dear Madam Chief Justice:
It is an honor for our law firm, Oppenheim Pilelsky, P.A., comprised in part of foreclosure defense attorneys, to provide the following comments concerning the mortgage foreclosure crisis. We appreciate the amount of time and effort that the Task Force and the Supreme Court have allocated to address these important matters. In reviewing the problems identified by the Task Force and the appropriate recommendations to such problems, our comments on the Task Force recommendations are as follows:
1. We strongly agree that having uniformity of forms and procedures statewide is important to a fair and just statewide judicial system. Thus the goal of establishing a uniformity of forms and procedures statewide is important and is endorsed by our firm.
2. Establishing a central information source and a statewide web site to provide centralized information for all parties involved with a foreclosure is a good idea. Our firm’s only concern is who will fund and manage the web site in light of economic realities. Further, it is important that the web site remain neutral and not favor banks or homeowners in connection with the information provided.
