Law Firms
Investigation of some of the biggest
Some of those law firms — like the offices of David J. Stern of Plantation, Fla., and Steven J. Baum of Amherst, N.Y. — are among those that are either under scrutiny by law enforcement officials or face actions by homeowners contending that they used inaccurate or fraudulent mortgage-related documents. Both lawyers have denied any wrongdoing, and neither has been charged with a crime.
In NY, Steven J. Baum, P.C. is a foreclosure Factory. It is Long Island’s largest foreclosing law firm.
Steven J. Baum’s law firm filed 12,551 foreclosure actions in the New York area last year.
