Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
An attorney I hired for my foreclosure case never filed anything to defend my case in three months. Took six more weeks of letters to finally got him to file a Motion to Withdraw and have a hearing, which wasn't until a week before the Trial. I filed a Motion for Continuance, but no time for a Hearing. At the withdraw hearing the Judge refused to hear my motion because of �ex parte�. He said if I can get the other side to agree to it he will grant it. Does anyone have any good ideas on how approach the Plaintiff�s side to agree to a continuance? Please help! Thank you!

You must notice the motion for a continuance for a hearing and ask for time to obtain new counsel.
Notify them about what you did with your attorney and how he did not cooperate. Ask them for their approval. Do you have a defense to the action? Probably best to hire an attorney to do the communication for you. You don't mention what the actual status is of the underlying foreclosure action. that would matter in terms of how it moves forward from here.
