Put Our Experience To Work for You Defending Mortgage And Bank Fraud Charges In New Jersey
Mortgage fraud usually implicates the process of obtaining a mortgage via fraudulent means – usually through a bank. On the other hand, bank fraud charges apply where the defendant has attempted to use fraud to obtain funds or any property owned by a banking institution. Mortgage and bank fraud charges can apply broadly, in circumstances involving:
- Falsifying mortgage loan documents or refinancing documents, such as by providing false information about your employment or income level to qualify for a larger mortgage
- Failing to satisfy the relevant disclosure obligations that apply to mortgage lenders and brokers
- Inflating property value during the real estate appraisal process
- Predatory lending practices
- Providing false information on a title or mortgage insurance application

Frequently Asked Questions About Mortgage And Bank Fraud Charges In New Jersey
When facing mortgage or bank fraud charges, the case can often be highly publicized, especially when a pattern of mortgage or bank fraud is alleged. Because of the complex nature of these cases, there can be multiple defendants who may add further nuances and complications, but also potential opportunities to assert your innocence. In other cases, additional serious allegations will accompany the initial fraud charge, such as RICO charges, mail and wire fraud, forgery, embezzlement, money laundering and identity theft. The potential for stacking multiple criminal charges can cause the imposition of more severe penalties if convicted. This is why it is crucial to retain a skilled and effective legal counsel who has experience in mortgage and bank fraud cases. Contact our legal team for a free and confidential discussion.
It is still possible to be charged with fraud even when the bank or mortgage officials knew that you were making false statements on your loan application, and even if the mortgage or bank officials actually encouraged you to make those false statements (for example, by falsifying your income to qualify for a larger mortgage). This is due to the fact that you still knew the information to be false and used it anyway. If this happened to you, our lawyers are here to help build a strong defense in your case, which can involve ensuring that the mortgage or bank officials who committed the fraud are held responsible. If so, it can help to minimize the potential penalties you may be facing.
