Given his prominent career as a criminal defense attorney Charles Ross wanted to create his own law firm that employed the “best practices” he honed as Chair of the White Collar Defense Group at a noted full service law firm, as a partner at a high-profile boutique criminal defense firm and as a state and federal public defender. Chuck realized his vision by opening Charles A. Ross & Associates near Wall Street in New York City.

Obama’s New Mortgage Fraud Task Force – Real Substance or Election Year Rhetoric
In his State of the Union address on January 25th President Obama announced the formation of a new mortgage fraud task force to be headed by New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. This new investigative group will focus on all aspects of mortgage related activity which contributed to this country’s near financial collapse. The group will operate under the umbrella of the Financial Crimes Unit. Three years ago another mortgage fraud task force was formed which has resulted in prosecutions of smaller mortgage brokers and related businesses. However there has been virtually no criminal investigations activity related to large investment banks involved in the securitization and related offering of mortgage backed financial instruments.
Schneiderman has a broad mandate to investigate mortgage related false statements and misrepresentations at the highest levels of the process. If larger institutions are investigated by criminal law enforcement authorities potential felony charges could be brought against individuals. The type of felonies which could be charged are federal mail fraud and wire fraud offenses as well as bank fraud and securities fraud. In New York State the complex Martin Act could be used to bring charges and other states including Florida may look to larceny and theft related provisions to vote indictments against individuals and companies.
If Obama’s appointment of Eric Schneiderman is more that simple election year rhetoric it could mean that many people and entities will receive subpoenas, be questioned by law enforcement authorities and potentially face serious criminal charges. Under such circumstances it would be important for those who may catch the attention of law enforcement authorities to receive the effective counsel of experienced white collar criminal defense lawyers.
