This year, Mr. Barnes’ Firm and the FDN network celebrate their tenth consecutive year representing homeowners defending foreclosures throughout the United States in both state and Federal courts and at the trial and appellate levels. Mr. Barnes has been told by numerous attorneys representing banks and servicers, including attorneys working for large national foreclosure Firms, that he (Mr. Barnes) is the only attorney in the entire United States that they know of who represents homeowners in as many states as he does in all courts for as long as he has been doing so, and has more knowledge of the issues than any other attorney defending foreclosures.This has recently lead to numerous settlements of foreclosure cases.

As an apparently response to and respect for Mr. Barnes’ decade-long legal work including the establishment of the law as to MERS through victories in the Supreme Courts of Oregon and Montana and his tireless efforts to protect homeowners, Mr. Barnes has been recently requested to act as a mediator in foreclosure cases, and thus announces that mediation is now an additional service that his Firm offers.

Mr. Barnes was previously certified as a Mediator by the Supreme Court of Florida, and was also certified as a Qualified Neutral by the State of Minnesota.He has also attended countless mediations in foreclosure cases in numerous states over the past 10 years.
