McCollum Stepping In: Subpoenas Documents
In a blog posted late last week, we discussed that the Florida Supreme Court announced, through its clerk of Court, that it has no Constitutional authority to interfere with pending foreclosure actions because of alleged attorney misconduct.
Attorney General, Bill McCollum, is now stepping in and investigating several foreclosure firms for possible fraudulent activity. He has subpoenaed certain Lender Processing Documents (LPS) including network agreements with law firms.
Back in September, Congressman, Alan Grayson, asked Chief Justice Canady to suspend foreclosure actions until McCollum had a chance to investigate fraudulent allegations against particular foreclosure law firms. It is rumored that McCollum is currently investigating: The Law Offices of David J. Stern, Florida Default Law Group, Shapiro & Fishman, and the Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson.
In addition to the network agreements, LPS training manuals and policies have been subpoenaed. The review of these documents will most likely take time. Therefore, any type of resolution probably will not be reached any time soon. To learn more about the article, visit McCollum subpoenas LPS documents.
