Foreclosure lawyers’ misdeeds ignored in Florida?
Despite complaints, ethics breaches slip past discipline system
Florida courthouses are rife with evidence of errors and fabrications made by attorneys handling foreclosure cases, and yet so far no lawyers have been disciplined.
With pressure mounting to police its own members, the Florida Bar established a special category of complaints listed as “foreclosure fraud.”
But in 20 complaints investigated in that category, the Bar has not found cause to discipline anyone — even lawyers who admitted to breaking ethical rules.
Some observers say that early track record of ignoring misdeeds by its members raises questions about whether the system of self-policing for lawyers can handle the depth of wrongdoing in the foreclosure crisis.
The complaints have been filed by judges, lawyers, homeowners and the Florida Bar itself, and reflect the issues seen in courtrooms almost daily for the past two years, including forged signatures and backdated documents used to improperly seize homes in foreclosures.
A mistake is something that takes place once. Hindreds of times is no mistake.
Sounds exactly what a Lawyer would say. If you make a mistake, correct it and learn from it to where it is not done again, yes it is a mistake. When the same thing is done multiple of times knowing that it is incorrect or not taking the time to verify it, it is not a mistake.
Also when you have a group that has regulations and rules that are enforced by the group and not an outside agency they usually don’t get enforced. Great cover up by the disciplinary board.
the florida bar – cheap drink specials and floozies hangin out?
Florida’s Judicial System is the most Corrupt in the Country. WHY in the hell would any FOOL believe the FLORIDA BAR could or would police its own??
Kinda like the Fox guarding the Chicken coop!
I say forget the paper pushing Complaint , and the damn JUDGE FINE THEM INTO BANKRUPTCY! If they don’t pay in court fines, THEY LOSE THEIR LICENSE! WAHLA!
No need for the FLA Bar
hey!
This entire enterprise is easily figured out once you determine that the banks have nothing to lend. Banks cannot and will not make consideration, therefore how can what they do be considered “lending” When the legal tender, “I stress LEGAL and not LAWFUL” has no substance other than the “FULL FAITH AND CREDIT” IN THIS I’M STRESSING CREDIT ! of you and I. Private people are responsible for the fact the “Legal Tender” exists whatsoever. Would be very different if the dollars actually had some substantive backing or were redeemable, but this is not the case. As things stand they are worthless. All these Federal Reserve Notes are “borrowed” into existence, Your signature AND CREDIT creates the currency. Not the CREDIT a bank said they were extending you, the credit that already belongs to you. As in FULL FAITH AND CREDIT. Debt cannot settle any commercial transaction paying with more debt, that defies common sense. Debt has to be setoff, AND TAKEN OUT OF THE SYSTEM. Debt chasing more debt is a ponzi scheme that inevitably crashes. Remember this when your making a mortgage payment. The bank used YOUR CREDIT, you signed the promissory note not the bank. You did an exchange and the bank made millions on your promissory regardless of whether you ever made a payment or not. As these payments are fraud
if you didn’t all the better.
