Offering a Highly Skilled Defense Strategy

Attorney Robert E. Lee has extensive experience defending clients accused of committing mortgage fraud at the federal and state levels. Previously, he worked for a law firm that focused on handling foreclosures. He applies his intricate understanding of the mortgage industry and his criminal defense skills to develop an effective defense strategy for appraisers, lenders, brokers, real estate agents, buyers and sellers facing criminal charges for any deceptive and illegal mortgage practices, including:

• Property flipping
• Accepting kickbacks
• Inflating property value sales
• Using inflated appraisals to obtain inflated mortgages
• Equity skimming
• Using false or stolen information

Mortgage fraud allegations are heavy document cases. When you select our law firm, we will act quickly to conduct a thorough investigation focused on mitigating any potential damages. We will dig into the specific details included in the mortgage application to try and uncover any evidence that can be used in your favor. Our legal team will evaluate the paper trail to show you had no reason to think the information submitted was false. We will take every measure possible to differentiate an innocent mistake from criminal intent.

If the mortgage fraud allegations cannot be dropped, we will negotiate for a reduction in penalties through showing you had minimal involvement with the criminal activities. We also try to mitigate any potential damages through illustrating actual losses versus perceived losses. When cases involve foreclosed properties, we work with the bank to find out how the bank values the property. This helps us negotiate a reduction in penalties through showing that the loss is not as substantial as perceived by the government. When you select our law firm, you can feel confident that we will pursue every angle possible to protect your rights and mitigate any potential damages.
