Defense Against Charges of Conspiracy in Mortgage Fraud Cases

Florida Mortgage Fraud Defense Lawyers

The criminal charge of conspiracy is very broad. It allows government prosecutors to capture a large number of people in their net when pursuing a case of mortgage or lending fraud. Often the people "caught" have played only a very small part in any illegal activity. They may not even have known that they were involved in a crime.

For example, a buyer may have signed an application for a mortgage loan and someone else may have prepared a false income statement. But, both parties can be charged with conspiracy to commit a crime. If you are found guilty of conspiracy to commit mortgage fraud, you generally face time in prison.

If you suspect you are under investigation by law enforcement or you have been charged with a mortgage or bank fraud crime, get immediate legal help. Contact the defense team at the Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz, PA. We stand willing to represent clients throughout central Florida, statewide, and nationwide facing criminal charges for conspiracy to commit mortgage fraud.

The issue your attorney will need to prove when preparing your conspiracy defense is that you had no knowledge of illegal activity or did not take an action that was intended to make the conspiracy succeed. Early representation is important to avoid incriminating statements and innocent statements that are misunderstood so as to avoid criminal charges.

Our goal is to prevent our clients from indictment on criminal charges whenever possible. We offer an aggressive defense pursuing all actions legally and ethically possible to protect our clients' liberty.

We stand willing to defend bank directors, loan officers and mortgage brokers — people involved in making loans. We will defend real estate brokers, real estate agents and appraisers — people involved in the sale of homes.
