Construction Loan Fraud

Orlando, Florida, Construction Loan Fraud Attorneys

Due in part to the subprime mortgage scandal, state and federal law enforcement authorities have been giving greater scrutiny to construction loans and real estate development projects, looking for fraudulent activity. Typically, construction loans are secured through reported assets, proof of lease or rental agreements, and buyer contracts. If the information provided on a construction loan application is incorrect, allegations of fraud may result when investigators believe the application was purposely falsified. At the Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz, our attorneys work closely with forensic accountants, investigators, and underwriters to convince investigators of our client's innocence. In many instances, our early involvement can pre-empt further investigation by convincing authorities that false information was not purposely provided.

Avoiding Obstruction of Justice Charges

Too often, people who aren't guilty of committing the crime they are being investigated for attempt to cover-up information they believe will incriminate them. When investigators discover information that conflicts with what they've been told by a suspect, they may intensify their investigation in the belief a suspect is hiding information. The end result may be a charge of obstructing justice, leading to further legal complications and ill will between you and prosecutors.

At the Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz, our lawyers work closely with clients in order to ensure they avoid an obstruction of justice charge. While our attorneys act to ensure our clients don't incriminate themselves, we also take steps to ensure pertinent records and information is preserved. Destroying company records, bank statements, work contracts, or relocating a key witness could result in obstruction charges if such actions come to the attention of the prosecution.
