Posted by Barry in Tacoma | February 17, 2011 | Foreclosure

Foreclosure Fraud Attorney

Jill Smith is on the very front lines in Washington State as a litigator challenging foreclosure fraud. Many are recognizing the current foreclosure epidemic as a symptom of the biggest financial fraud in world history. Read Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone, or anything by Simon Johnson or the book... "Clouded Titles " by Dave Krieger. The banks ripped off trillions of dollars from the investors through bogus Mortgage Backed Securities, and many more Trillions from mainstreet through the Bailout which exceeded the mortgage debt of the United States. Now the banks are stealing houses by filing bogus documents in every county courthouse in the country trying to claim standing as a lender, while trampling 400 years of land law. Jill is fighting for my standing on two properties in Tacoma, Washington and things are looking promising so far. She is very willing to study the rapidly changing strategies and tactics. I personally have 1000-1500 hours tudying foreclosure fraud but would never try to fight pro se. Only a seasoned litigator like Jil Smith should be trusted with something as valuable as your home.

"There are only a few attorneys in WA State who understand and can handle foreclosure defense cases that require litigation (not just a bankruptcy and repayment approach). Jill is one of them and is well worth a call or a referral."
