Beverly Hills Mortgage Fraud Attorney

What is mortgage fraud?

Mortgage fraud is a white collar crime that is committed when a person misrepresents or withholds information on a mortgage loan application in order to be approved for a loan, or receive more on a loan than they otherwise would have, had all information been provided accurately. Mortgage fraud charges can have other associated offenses such as bank fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, occupancy fraud, income fraud, employment fraud, fraud-for-profit, appraisal fraud, identify theft or money laundering.
