Mortgage Lending Fraud

Orlando, Florida Mortgage Lending Fraud Lawyers

Increasingly, state and federal officials are targeting the banking industry in investigations involving allegations of mortgage fraud. During the subprime mortgage market boom, questionable underwriting tactics and loan approval practices resulted in people being qualified for loans they could not afford. Now, state and federal investigators are looking at the loan application and underwriting process used by mortgage companies and banks. At the Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz, our attorneys work with CPAs, forensic accountants, and our own investigators in gathering evidence to undermine the prosecution's case against our client. We have the resources needed to defend underwriting decisions and put the prosecution on the defensive.

Accused of Committing Mortgage Lending Fraud

The Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz counsels and defends clients in cases involving the following allegations:

• Underwriting irregularities
• Over-reporting income or assets
• Inflated or deflated appraisal of property
• Failure to accurately indicate primary and secondary residence
• Falsifying loan application information

Who is Responsible for False Information on Loan Applications?

Investigators aren't always as diligent as they should be in determining who is ultimately responsible for submitting false information on a mortgage loan application. If a borrower purposely misreports assets or income, an investigation should be re-directed towards the person or parties responsible for committing fraud. Our lawyers work with our own investigators and forensic accountants to gather information on borrowers. When necessary, we subpoena financial information from borrowers and depose them in order to expose the source of fraud and falsified loan applications.
