Defending Straw Buyers in Mortgage Fraud Cases
In most cases, a straw buyer has good credit, while other times a straw buyer will falsify their credit information in order to be involved in the sale. Straw buyers usually receive a percentage of the loan proceeds, while the property is sold to a new straw buyer, starting the scheme all over again.
Because of the various parties involved in these cases, they can be very complex. Our lawyers are very familiar with both the state and federal laws regulating real estate lending and closings. This includes in-depth knowledge of how to defend the special investigations involving strike forces and special prosecutors in real estate mortgage fraud.
