Law Firm Overview

Michael Wrubel has over 30 years of experience representing individuals against the powerful interests of our society in Florida's trial courts. He began his career as a criminal defense attorney and was drawn to the foreclosure defense field after observing that both areas of defense are fundamentally based upon the prosecutor's or plaintiff's ability to "PROVE IT." That is, he was one of the first to recognize the difficulties faraway lenders face in the 21" Century when trying to foreclose on promissory notes and mortgages which have lost their basic qualities as a consequence of Wall Street Intellectuals transforming these once simple financial instruments into complex securities. Their complexity is beginning to haunt the large financial institutions who sought higher rates of returns through purchasing loans in groups by the thousands. It is this complexity, among other things, that he turns to the borrowers' advantage by aggressively contesting lenders assertions' that they are the rightful owners of the mortgages and promissory notes originally signed by home owners at their neighborhood bank or lending institution.
