Posted by admin in Foreclosure Defense, Fraud Recovery, Legal Malpractice on December 31, 2012
by Brian Mahany On December 21st, I attended an outdoor doomsday party in New Orleans. The promoters anticipated 10,000 revelers for the big event. My guess is that 500 showed up.

Bank Of America Keeps Fraud Settlements Confidential
Posted by admin in Foreclosure Defense, Fraud Recovery on August 27, 2012
