Areas of Focus
Experience
- Secured summary judgment and affirmed victory on appeal in a contested foreclosure by establishing that a motion for rehearing directed to the summary judgment order did not toll the time to appeal the final judgment.
- Obtained summary judgment in a contested foreclosure by demonstrating that HUD regulations were inapplicable because HUD insurance was terminated prior to the filing of the complaint.
- Won summary judgment in a contested foreclosure by proving the borrower surrendered the property in bankruptcy, barring further challenge to foreclosure.
- Achieved reversal on appeal of an ex parte involuntary dismissal by successfully arguing that the trial court violated the mortgage servicer’s due process rights.
- Exposed a large-scale foreclosure note alteration scheme and led an investigation that uncovered intentional alteration of original promissory notes in eight cases. The findings resulted in nine felony criminal charges filed by the State Attorney against the foreclosure defense counsel.
