Mortgage Fraud

Residential and commercial mortgage fraud is a rapidly growing problem – one that can affect the financial solvency of any business. Today this issue affects a broad range of companies and individuals, from mortgage companies, real estate brokers, title companies and real estate attorneys to appraisers and insurers. The mortgage fraud attorneys of Dressler|Peters litigate such cases in state and federal courts, assisting along the way in governmental investigations on criminal matters.

Mortgage fraud comes in countless forms nowadays, from equity skimming to inflated appraisals and silent seconds – a full complement of creative malfeasance. Our lawyers limit your exposure by vigorously pursuing every avenue of recovery, including closing protection letters, fidelity bonds, commercial crime bonds, title insurance and professional malpractice insurance.
