ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Shawn Yesner, one of Central Florida’s leading experts on residential and commercial foreclosure laws and procedures, is a major contributor to a new book from Thomson West on all facets of the state’s foreclosure statutes.

It is a perfect combination.

Yesner, a partner in Yesner & Boss, P.L. is regarded as one of the most effective attorneys in Florida in defending clients involved in foreclosure and short-sales of residential and commercial property. Thomson West is the most prestigious publisher of legal resources in the country, with more than 5,000 titles in print.

The new book, “Florida Foreclosure: What Lawyers Need to Know,” provides commentaries from proactive experts on a variety of current and highly relevant areas of real-estate law, including commercial foreclosures, mortgage modifications, homestead laws, foreclosure protection, Federal Trade Commission actions and a guide to foreclosure pleadings and practices.

“I consider it a high honor to be involved in this Thomson West project because the state of real estate markets has been and continues to be dire,” Yesner said. “While the residential markets are showing sporadic signs of improvement, we are moving toward commercial markets, where the next wave of distressed borrowers is facing a difficult future.”

As the economy struggles, businesses are failing, making it increasingly difficult for commercial landlords to keep property occupancies sufficiently high to pay their mortgages. But few new companies are emerging to fill those vacancies.

“Commercial property owners will start defaulting and going out of business,” Yesner said. “They will need asset protection, help with possible bankruptcies and effective representation with lenders. That’s where we are focused.”

“Florida Foreclosure: What Lawyers Need to Know,” is an invaluable asset for law offices and should be a resource in every law library. It is available for $79 from Thomson West online here.
