Jones draws on the vast market expertise of Daryl to ensure excellence for its clients across the real estate and civil litigation space. Daryl has 10 years’ experience as a member of a $1.7 billion bank board of directors. During this time, he served as chair of the Board’s Audit Committee, which makes the Firm familiar with many of the rules, regulations and statutes that lenders must follow. Finally, he served as a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force and retired as a colonel in the Air Force Reserve in 2007. These experiences combine to assist the firm in identifying unique issues which have helped the firm to obtain favorable results for its clients, as Daryl discusses. “Unlike most firms in the foreclosure defense practice, at the Law Offices of Daryl L. Jones we do not seek to extend foreclosure cases until the lender is able to effect a foreclosure sale. Instead, we seek to provide a high quality defense, and to negotiate a settlement which results in our clients remaining in their homes with an affordable mortgage payment. In 10 years, we have experienced only 13 evictions of our clients over more than 3,000 cases. “Overall, our primary aim is to help our clients to achieve their individual goals. Most clients want to remain in their homes with an affordable mortgage payment. Others intend to sell their home and relocate. We attempt to set realistic expectations for our clients based upon the status of the litigation, the ability and willingness of our clients to make an affordable mortgage payment, and the applicable rules, regulations, statutes, and relevant case law that may or may not provide some leverage to help our clients achieve their desired goals.” To ensure that his firm constantly provides its clients with the service they need, Daryl and his team are continually adapting and developing their skillset, which will remain the ongoing focus going forward, as Daryl concludes. “Looking ahead, we have developed an expertise in helping clients obtain an affordable mortgage payment. In addition, we also help clients become homeowners when they are otherwise ineligible for ownership. Finally, we are beginning to provide clients with assistance in credit repair and financial management. All of these new skills provide us with many great opportunities for further growth and success.” Contact: Daryl Lafayette Jones Contact Email:
