Debt and Lending Agreements 25%

I am a commercial litigator and have litigated over 6,000 lawsuits, mostly contracts. I have represented large banks, small businesses, and many worthy individuals, as well as international trade transactions. During the foreclosure crisis, I was honored to help individuals fight the banks, and still do some foreclosure defense. I am licensed to practice law in two states, Florida (where I live) and Louisiana. I am interested in Usury and Loan Sharking litigation where the interest exceeds 25%

Need Foreclosure defense in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami Dade - Contact Gary Allyn Barcus

I needed legal help to represent me after I received a Palm Beach County residential foreclosure lawsuit. If you don’t answer and object to a Palm Beach County foreclosure lawsuit within 20 days you will lose by default. After the lawsuit was filed against me, a friend referred me to Gary Barcus.... I remain amazed how quickly Gary designed and filed his answers along with his defenses that enabled me to become the offensive Party. With his 30 plus years of ligation experience and background in foreclosure defense, debt negotiation, collection and contract law, Gary extended the litigation for several years with defenses and counterclaim actions against 2 lenders who had pending foreclosures against me on the same mortgage that we were attempting to negotiate settlement with. After the extended period of Circuit Court, Appellate Court and Florida Supreme Court denials, we forged on with Gary’s patience and efforts through his judicial demands for mediation and settlement negotiations. The fight was worth it! I benefited from a short sale settlement that Gary negotiated that was conditioned with a waiver of deficiency on both first and second mortgages with no other strings attached. While my credit condition is improving, I became credit damaged during the process, but Gary gave me my life back and spared me the stigma effects of a foreclosure and post foreclosure financial judgment claims that could have been made against me. If you are looking for a boutique hands on attorney for foreclosure defense, contract disputes or debt collection solutions in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami Dade and other Florida counties instead of a behemoth TV advertising law firm with junior attorneys who churn canned documents , then go to Gary Allyn Barcus, Gary is an “Old School “ law library attendee lawyer who combs the law books day and night seeking case law to use for his intended result. He is well known and respected by opposing attorneys, and also respected by justice minded civil judges at all levels. Anonymous. --

Blind Trust & Excellent Litigator

I first met Mr. Barcus as the attorney representing a plaintiff against my employer. He did such an excellent job representing his client that my employer chose to retain him after he successfully defended his client -- That was in 1999. Since then he has become my personal confidant and only person... I turn to for legal matters or issues. I have yet to meet a more trustworty and competent legal professional.

More than a Lawyer!

Gary helped us though a very difficult situation with legal support on a Foreclosure case and kind works of encouragement. More than you expect from a lawyer, knows the law, writes and responds to the system timely and accurately, puts up an excellent defense AND cares about you as a person.

No robo-lawyer here --- 26 year top profesional

I found Gary Barcus to be extremely bright and knowledgeable. willing to take on the big dogs in the protection of the little guy when the facts call for action . He is amazingly skillful and quite professional. He's not just a typical Lawyer -- He has empathy and concern for his clients and their ou...tcomes.He was personally involved in all aspects of my case. I've dealt with a good number of lawyers and Gary is way and above ALL of the others. I highly recommend him. Rod
