Miami, Florida: Defense of Mortgage Fraud Charges

Accusations of mortgage fraud are flying around the country right now. State and federal law enforcement officers are investigating charges of mortgage fraud with increased attention and zeal, and the securities industry and state banking departments are also paying close attention to claims of mortgage fraud.

If you are a professional working in the mortgage industry and you come under investigation for any type of mortgage fraud, it is critically important that you get an experienced defense attorney on your side as soon as possible.

Without aggressive representation of your rights during any investigation or criminal proceeding, you can face serious penalties that include fines and even jail time. You could also lose your professional license. Michael A. Catalano, P.A. Criminal Defense Attorney Miami, Florida Since 1986, the law office of Michael A.

Contact an Attorney at the First Sign of an Investigation
One of the worst mistakes professional people make is to do nothing when they come under investigation for a criminal charge. This is certainly true in mortgage fraud cases.

The investigator may tell you that your statement is necessary only as a witness, not as a suspect. This may be reassuring, but it is usually only a tactic to persuade you to give information to the investigator without first consulting an attorney.
You have an absolute right to have a lawyer on your side at every stage of a mortgage fraud investigation by law enforcement or a regulatory agency.

If you do not retain legal counsel at the first sign of an investigation into events you took part in, you run the major risk of digging yourself into a hole that will be harder to help you out of.

If you are under investigation for mortgage fraud, or if you have already been charged with a crime, you deserve to have an experienced advocate at your side. We will negotiate with law enforcement on your behalf, interview witnesses and review all relevant documents — as part of building a defense on your behalf.
At the same time, we will do everything possible to minimize any negative impact of the investigation or criminal charges on your professional standing and future career opportunities.
