Mortgage Fraud Criminal Defense Attorney in Santa Barbara

Mortgage fraud is broadly defined as the intentional misrepresentation or omission of information on a mortgage loan application or other documents at or during any part of the lending process. It is a white collar crime that state and federal law enforcement officers are often informed about through Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) filed by financial or government agencies. Law enforcement aggressively pursues charges against those targeted, some of whom include:

  • Property developers
  • Lending institutions
  • Buyers
  • Sellers
  • Real estate agents
  • Mortgage brokers
