Crimes Involving Real Estate Property
There are many parties who stand to gain in a real estate transaction. The seller is able to get rid of property, the buyer gains ownership, and the broker makes a killing on commission. Even lenders profit, gaining interest over time. Unfortunately, with bad real estate deals, lenders can lose out when buyers are unable to pay. Our attorneys are experienced in cases involving buyers who did not know they were committing fraud or who were used unknowingly in a real estate scheme. We can help you protect your rights.
We are also experienced in real estate crimes involving:
- Fraudulent conveyance
- Mortgage or sale on unowned property
- Straw purchases (where buyer is not the actual buyer)
- Use of another name for good credit (identity fraud)
- Lie on mortgage application
- Fabrication of employment, credit, or income
- Home buyer or broker fraud
Protect Your Rights and Minimize Penalties Involving Fraud
Our attorneys will take the time to hear your story and understand the circumstances of your case. We know that many defendants were unwilling participants in a fraudulent scheme. It is our goal to help you protect your rights, defeat your charges and move forward after a criminal allegation. In the event that you are guilty of a real estate crime, our attorneys can negotiate a plea bargain and work to minimize the penalties in your case.
