Superior Defense for Those in the Mortgage and Financial Industries
The collapse of the nationwide real estate market, the mortgage industry has been placed in the media spotlight and has become a top target of national criminal investigations and enforcement. In the midst of losses arising from failed loans, anyone in the mortgage and housing industry, from loan officers and brokers to investors and executives of financial industries can be targets. Considering the paper trail of documents, the actions of all players are being heavily scrutinized. The government and prosecutors are increasingly active in investigating any instances of mortgage fraud. If you have suspicions that you are being investigated by government prosecutors for mortgage fraud, the best possible course of action is to obtain superior mortgage fraud defense from experienced attorneys. We routinely have defended other lawyers, realtors, and others accused of mortgage fraud in the federal courts. Proactive action is the key to getting the best possible result and even staving off investigations or seeking a dismissal of charges.
Mortgage fraud can include:
- Making false statements or misrepresentations in loan documents (including applications, personal financial statements, HUD-1 statements, source of funds, etc.)
- Nondisclosure of second or third liens
- Equity skimming
- Foreclosure scams
- Fraudulent Appraisals
- Property flipping
- Predatory lending
- Kickbacks
Understanding the Investigation Process
An investigation for mortgage fraud can go on for years as prosecutors gather evidence and build a case against individuals they suspect have committed mortgage fraud. When the prosecution has built their case against a suspect, they will then seek to have the suspect formally indicted. Intervening before an indictment is crucial to increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome. Do not wait before it is too late and obtain criminal defense representation from an elite and prestigious law firm.
