Working Hard to Keep you out of Prison
In the wake of the collapse of the real estate market, federal agencies such as HUD, the FBI and the IRS have ramped up the prosecution of mortgage fraud.

At Aiken, O'Halloran & Associates, our mortgage fraud defense lawyers in Sarasota will work hard to protect your rights and defend you against all criminal allegations.
If you are facing fraud charges in connection with a mortgage, you need experienced legal representation right away. Contact our Florida criminal defense attorneys online or call 941-328-8433 to schedule a meeting to discuss your situation.
Get Help From an Experienced Federal Defense Lawyer
Crimes related to mortgage fraud are prosecuted under a variety of federal criminal laws, including wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering and charges of false statements. The government rarely prosecutes the lenders who turn a blind eye to questionable loan applications. The government will almost always seek a lengthy jail term in addition to the forfeiture of assets, bank accounts and property. That is why hiring an experienced attorney from Aiken, O'Halloran & Associates is so important.
Attorney Peter Aiken is a former federal agent, forensic investigator and a former federal prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney's office. This experience has allowed him to develop an intricate knowledge of federal criminal laws and the federal court system. Not all defense lawyers practice in federal court. If you are under federal investigation, it is crucial that you hire a federal criminal defense attorney with years of experience.
Do Not Delay Getting Legal Help
If you have been contacted by HUD, the FBI, or the IRS regarding a mortgage loan, an appraisal, or the closing of a real estate transaction, you need to speak with our Sarasota appraisal fraud defense lawyers before you speak with the authorities. Your license, your reputation and your freedom may be at stake. Never meet with a federal or State investigator without first speaking with a qualified, experienced white collar crime lawyer. Timing is critical and if you wait, others may implicate you to save themselves. When the agents come knocking, call immediately.
