Baseball had the “Steroid Era,” and the law has its “Foreclosure Era.” The two phenomenons are so similar, but the latter has shaken our confidence in our system of justice.
Major League Baseball, Congress and the media found the ultimate solution to the Steroid Era of our “National Pastime” – put an asterisk by it and forget how baseball became professional wrestling. I can barely remember how an entire sport and its heroes became just another bunch of cheaters chasing hollow glory and big bucks. Yeah, Roger Clemens is still being prosecuted for perjury, but who cares?
Our Nation is facing the same situation today with the Foreclosure Era of law, and for the sake of history and restoring faith in our system of justice, we must decide how we shall deal with this.
In foreclosure cases, lawyers who swore to uphold the United States Constitution and to never misrepresent facts and evidence to our trial courts lie with regularity and purpose. There is no question that most lawyers handling foreclosure cases on behalf of mortgage servicers have routinely misrepresent critical facts to judges and have presented fraudulent documents in the process of extracting a citizen from his home. I have personally seen dozens of examples of this, and I have heard of hundreds more. The Florida Bar has never disciplined one foreclosure mill lawyer for manufacturing and submitting knowingly fraudulent evidence, but The Bar DID investigate me and other defense lawyers for talking about it to the press.
