Howard Law, P.A. is seeking an Associate Attorney – Foreclosure to join our growing creditors’ rights practice.

The Associate Attorney will work closely with experienced attorneys, paralegals, and firm leadership while gaining hands-on responsibility for foreclosure matters throughout the litigation lifecycle.

The ideal candidate is organized, responsive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a deadline-driven, high-volume environment. Prior foreclosure or creditors’ rights experience is preferred, but we will consider candidates with strong litigation fundamentals and an interest in developing a practice in this area.

We are looking for an associate who takes ownership of their work and wants to grow into a strong foreclosure and creditors’ rights attorney. Successful candidates will be able to balance speed with accuracy, communicate effectively, and recognize when an issue requires escalation or additional legal analysis.

• Review title reports and assist with resolving title defects and other issues affecting foreclosure proceedings.

• Assist with post-judgment and post-sale matters, including certificates of title, writs of possession, redemption issues, and related proceedings.

• Maintain accurate file documentation and complete required attorney tasks within CaseAware and applicable client systems.

• Assist with client reporting, escalated matters, quality-control reviews, and file audits.

• Maintain compliance with applicable Florida law, court rules, federal servicing requirements, investor guidelines, and firm policies.

• As experience develops, assume increased responsibility for contested foreclosure litigation and independent management of assigned files.

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.

• Active Florida Bar license in good standing.

• Strong legal research, writing, analytical, and organizational skills.

• Working knowledge of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.

• Ability to manage multiple files, deadlines, and competing priorities in a high-volume practice.

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate, timely work.

• Professional written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to work effectively with attorneys, paralegals, clients, and court personnel.

• Comfortable learning and working within case-management and client-reporting systems.

• 3-5 years of experience in foreclosure, creditors’ rights, real estate litigation, civil litigation, or a related practice area.

• Experience handling residential foreclosure matters in Florida.

• Familiarity with foreclosure pleadings, summary judgment practice, mediations, and contested matters.

• CaseAware experience.

• Familiarity with LPS, ICE/MSP, or similar mortgage servicing platforms.
