Mortgage / Bank Fraud Overview

Florida Bank Fraud / Mortgage Fraud Defense Lawyers

Proving the Investigators Wrong

Lax lending practices in a flourishing market can come back to haunt the borrower, the lender, or the agents if the loan later goes bad. But when the market is down and credit is tight, pressure increases to use dubious or illegal practices to obtain a mortgage, finance development, or get the commission.

Investigators use increasingly sophisticated tools to detect fraud in banking, financial transactions, and subprime lending. Unfortunately, these methods "catch" many people who have done nothing wrong. The Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz, a Professional Association, represents those who are caught up in government investigations or internal audits.

We have the background to understand and analyze financial documents and supporting loan documents. We help clients work through investigations by ensuring that their contacts with law enforcement and auditors do not result in damage to their case.
