Mortgage fraud is a hot-button issue in the Kansas City area. It seems that it was frequent practice to fraudulently inflate the appraised value of a home or property in order to maximize profit. Recent far-reaching investigations have targeted homeowners, financing companies, and real estate and home appraisers. If you are under investigation for mortgage fraud, contact me immediately to discuss all your realistic legal options for avoiding indictment or conviction at trial.
Many of my clients charged with mortgage fraud in recent months did not clearly understand that what they were doing was against the law and could lead to serious criminal charges. Even those who knew that they were involved in a shady enterprise never suspected the extent of the legal consequences they now face.
One of the strengths of my criminal defense practice is an ability to help my clients balance short-term fears with long-term goals. Many times, a client will come to me with one instruction: Keep me out of jail. While I work diligently to minimize the immediate negative consequences of an arrest, I also strive to make sure that my clients’ ability to achieve their future goals is not seriously affected.
