With the slump in the housing market and the collapse of the mortgage industry, mortgage fraud prosecutions are on the increase. These complex cases require a criminal defense attorney who has a full grasp of the housing market and mortgage documentation. At the Law Office of Joseph A. Ingram in Birmingham, Alabama, I have defended people against mortgage fraud charges.

Speak with me before saying anything to a law enforcement official if you have been charged with such crimes as:

• Lending or loan fraud
• Mortgage fraud
• Real estate fraud
• Appraiser fraud

Even if you are just a victim, you may be charged as a co-conspirator in a mortgage fraud scheme. With the growth of real estate flipping, many people who do not understand all aspects of the mortgage process simply ignore any problems that arise. I will help defend you against criminal charges regardless of your alleged level of involvement. Mortgage fraud cases are complex and can involve intricate conspiracies, stacks of documents and multiple co-defendants. If you have questions about a mortgage fraud charge, call my office to schedule a free initial consultation.
