Florida Law Firm Expands Services For Businesses And Individuals Needing Mortgage And Bankruptcy Assistance

Yesner & Boss, a leading Central Florida law firm in the areas of mortgage assistance, bankruptcy and asset protection, has added two attorneys to expand services to clients caught up in the nation's complex mortgage markets. This will be especially important as the economic tidal wave that swamped residential real estate sweeps toward the commercial market.

Commercial property values have fallen 35 percent since October 2007, according to Moody's Investors Service, making it difficult for owners to refinance almost $165-billion of mortgages for everything from small stores to skyscrapers. If those properties can't be sold, foreclosures could become the crisis for the commercial real estate market it continues to be for residential real estate.

The addition by Yesner & Boss of associates Vincent C. LoBue and Paul M. Silvestri significantly increases the capabilities of the firm (www.YesnerBoss.com).

'Bringing on additional attorneys allows us to expand our client base, take on more complex cases and add even more value to all our clients,' said Shawn Yesner, a partner in Yesner & Boss.

The rate of foreclosures in Florida remains staggering. Between August and September, Florida recorded nearly 344,000 new foreclosures of all kinds, according to RealtyTrak, a real estate monitoring firm.

'With foreclosures remaining high and bankruptcies nearly back to the epidemic scale of 2005, creditors are becoming increasingly aggressive in collecting debts,' Yesner said. 'In many cases, this activity goes beyond what the law allows. It's not just homeowners. Commercial landlords are experiencing high vacancy rates, which could lead to increased commercial foreclosures. Our addition of two skilled attorneys will allow us to respond to those needs.'

LoBue received a law degree from Stetson University College of Law and is a member of the Florida and New Jersey Bar Associations. LoBue's practice includes foreclosure defense, consumer protection litigation and asset protection.

Silvestri, also a Stetson graduate, is a member of the Florida Bar Association. Silvestri's practice includes foreclosure defense and consumer protection cases.
