For almost a year, FDN has been literally deluged with offers from numerous companies and individuals to enter into agreements to conduct seminars and webinars. After much discussion with several of these companies, FDN’s principal Jeff Barnes, Esq. has made the decision to contract with a group of professionals based in west Florida who have significant prior and current experience in producing and conducting seminars and webinars.

The foreclosure defense webinar program will be divided into a series of presentations ranging from introductory to intermediate to advanced, and will cover foreclosure defense issues, techniques, and practices in judicial, non-judicial, and quasi-judicial proceedings, including Mediation as Mr. Barnes is a Certified Circuit Civil Mediator having been certified by the Supreme Court of Florida, and having also been previously certified as a Qualified Neutral by the State of Minnesota. Mr. Barnes also holds a Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Miami (Florida), and was both a teacher and college professor prior to entering law school, having developed and implemented curricula and creating his own teaching materials for all levels.

The first series of webinars will consist of twelve (12) separate topic areas and are designed to give the participant a background in the threshold issues of foreclosure defense, with principles and techniques for use in defense of foreclosure actions in both judicial and non-judicial states. Many of the techniques to be taught are the product of Mr. Barnes’ experience in defending foreclosures in numerous jurisdictions including Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Georgia (state and Federal levels), South Carolina, Florida, Ohio (state and Federal levels), Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, Arizona, Montana, Oregon, California (state and Federal levels), Washington, and Hawaii, as those of you who regularly and historically follow this website are well aware of.

The webinars are slated for CLE credit which can be used in any mandatory CLE state as provided by applicable CLE rules and regulations. A portion of the content will be derived from Mr. Barnes’ prior all-day seminar which was approved by The Florida Bar for 9.5 CLE credits. Mr. Barnes will also be scheduling day-long seminars in foreclosure defense for attorneys to be conducted on Fridays at the office complex in Las Vegas, Nevada where Mr. Barnes’ maintains his Western US office.

More details as to the program, webinar content, registration procedures, early registration discounts, and the like will be posted on this website within the coming weeks.
