A group of related Colorado mortgage law firms indicted for charging phantom fees for almost 8,000 foreclosure clients will pay 2016 judgements more than $1 million after losing their case in the Colorado Court of Appeals.

Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman pursued fraud charges against Robert J. Hopp & Associates and The Hopp Law Firm, their affiliated title companies, and Robert J. Hopp personally.

Investigators found the law firm was unlawfully billing its mortgage servicer clients between $200-$2,000 during foreclosures in violation of the Colorado Consumer Protection Act and the Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
