Time to Take Off The Gloves, Foreclosure Defense Attorneys!

Anthony Martinez is downright passionate when it comes to facing a judge alongside foreclosure mill attorneys who are filing false pleadings, fabricating documents, delivering fraudulent affidavits, and not verifying their complaints, while they play musical chairs with the lawyers in their firm so they don't have to take responsibility for the fraud they are perpetrating on our courts.

Here's how he explains it: "In hearing after hearing I’m seeing these defense attorneys walk in with the same timid attitude of sorts trying to be nice, trying to maintain their professionalism while across the table I’m seeing these foreclosure mill runners (I call them runners because they’re not even the attorney on the case just the runner appearing before the judge on behalf of the foreclosure mill) being extremely flagrant, arrogant and flat-out bully like to a large degree. And what I’ve noticed is that the moment they get tripped up by the more aggressive defense lawyer, they tend to quickly tell the judge how they’re not the attorney assigned to the case and how they’re just present for the hearing and will have to check back or ask for a continuance or make the defense feel like they’ve won something by postponing the sale. Amazing how on the fly these runners are making decisions for their clients about postponements without making a call."

After traveling to New York and being in the courthouse there on another case, Anthony could not help but be struck by the contrast in demeanor and attitudes of the lawyers and judges in that northeast state as compared to those here in Florida, f/k/a the "Sunshine State."

Of the latter, he says, "I walk into courtrooms and see judges laughing, I see lawyers talking while waiting their turn and a hearing is going on. I see judges making jokes and then saying your motion to dismiss is denied. I am nothing short of AMAZED at how unimportant kicking a family out of their home is. Let me tell you that it’s one thing to see an adult client in front of you but it is something completely different to visit their home and see a child 4 or 5 holding a toy or a 12-year-old ask you if you’re going to save his family."

As for the New York courts, Anthony senses the seriousness at hand, simply by walking into the place:

"Let me tell you that in these judges courtroom, intimidation is not the word. NO ONE is talking in the courtroom. These judges in New York are not playing and neither are the defense attorneys. I see great passion and argument and I see judges looking squarely at the merits of the case."

And here's the question Anthony asks that EVERYONE should be asking:

"So why is this not happening in Florida courts?"

Time to take off the gloves...
