Presenting an Effective Mortgage Fraud Defense in Florida
In the wake of the subprime mortgage financing collapse of 2007, many home financing professionals find themselves in the crosshairs of state or federal investigation and prosecution for fraud. For the advice of an experienced criminal defense lawyer familiar with the challenges of a complex mortgage fraud case, contact the Jacksonville law office of Mark Rosenblum, P.A., Attorney at Law.
The allegations in a mortgage fraud case will usually involve any combination of the following: failure to make disclosures to borrowers, failure to make disclosures to downstream investors or assignees of mortgage loans, overstated home values in appraisals, overstated assets or income on the part of borrowers, fraud in house flipping, distressed properties in mortgage and sales transactions, and the use of fraudulent gift letters.
Mr. Rosenblum represents people who have come under investigation or been indicted in state or federal mortgage fraud cases:
- Bankers and loan officers
- Mortgage brokers
- Mortgage originators
- Real estate brokers
- Title examiners and insurers
- Property appraisers
- Building contractors or construction professionals
Many mortgage fraud cases are investigated and prosecuted in the federal courts. That often affords the opportunity to get your defense activated prior to indictment by a federal grand jury, once you become aware that you are being investigated. The preindictment phase of any federal criminal case is the opportune time to initiate your defense with the goal of maximizing your chance to avoid or mitigate the charges contemplated against you.
With 14 years of experience as a federal public defender, Mark Rosenblum knows federal trial and sentencing procedures that can make the decisive difference in your favor. Whether your case involves a single count of making a false statement in a loan application, or instead concerns a broad conspiracy to defraud investors, Mark Rosenblum can help you.
