Mortgage Fraud 

Mortgage Fraud Criminal Defense in Alabama

Federal mortgage fraud cases have increased in recent years as the result of the housing industry collapse of 2005. The housing crisis in Alabama and throughout the entire country is still haunting the nation. Many home buyers, mortgage lenders, sub-lenders, loan officers, loan originators and others in the real estate industry have come under scrutiny and investigation by the federal government. Because of the crisis, the government has become even more proactive and aggressive in their investigations of fraud. They must show that they are taking the crisis seriously, but in their quest to reassure the public, they may violate the rights and falsely accuse and convict innocent people. Attorney Joseph A. Ingram will stand up to the government’s most relentless prosecutors and investigators.
