Their attorneys say the three reported problems with foreclosure papers as soon as they learned of it.
The Portland Press Herald-
Representatives for three attorneys facing possible discipline by the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar in connection with the filing of unverified documents in mortgage-foreclosure proceedings said Monday that they reported the problem as soon as they knew about it.?
The three attorneys, with the Portland law firm Drummond and Drummond, are accused of failing to act after learning that GMAC Mortgage was filing paperwork with unverified information in foreclosure proceedings during the nation’s mortgage foreclosure crisis.?
The allegations against the lawyers, who represented GMAC, resulted from a Maine case that had national repercussions, including the temporary suspension of foreclosures by GMAC and other big mortgage lenders. ?The case also led to congressional hearings and prompted all 50 states to enter a joint investigation into mortgage industry practices.?
