In the case our clients owed more than $100,000 more than their investment condominium was worth. Both of our clients signed the note, were professionally employed, and faced the real possibility of the lender obtaining a deficiency judgment and seeking to garnish the husband or wife’s wages. If our firm had not successfully resolved the case our clients faced the real possibility of having to file bankruptcy.

Deposition Transcript taken by firm attorney goes “Viral” on the internet.

A deposition of taken by firm attorney Richard Shuster in a mortgage foreclosure case has gone viral on the internet. A redacted copy of the transcript (with out clients personal information and case number removed) of the deposition of Krystal Hall was provided by Shuster to fellow members of NACA (National Association of Consumer Advocates) who defend foreclosure cases. One member of NACA sent the transcript of the Wall Street Journal who spoke to Mr. Shuster about the case. Another member posted the transcript on www.scribd.com and it has since been reposted on five other websites. The transcript has now been viewed over one thousand times.

Both legal aid and private foreclosure defense lawyers have utilized the transcript to defend foreclosure cases in Ohio, Michigan, Texas, California, and other states.

The deposition was taken in a case where Krystal Hall signed an assignment of Mortgage from First Franklin (the original lender) to Bank of America, N.A as trustee for a securitized trust. Above Kystal Hall's name on the assignment was the words “First Franklin a Division of Nat. City Bank” and below her signature were the words "By Krystal Hall Asst Secretary for Assignments." In the deposition, Ms. Hall testified that she NEVER worked for First Franklin or any other bank. Her employer was Security Connections a company the processes paperwork for mortgage lenders. Hall testified that she regularly signed 400 assignments of mortgage a day which equates to one assignment ever one minute and twelve seconds. Before executing the assignments she does not fact check to independently confirm the information in the assignment is accurate or true. Hall asserted that even though she is not employed by First Franklin her conduct was authorized by an alleged corporate resolution authorizing over twenty Security Connections employees to sign on First Franklin’s behalf.

Our firm believes that the representation on the assignment that Krystal Hall was an officer of First Franklin was misleading at best and was at worst a fraud on the Court. The firm’s goal is obtain dismissal of this case and others where Ms. Hall signed documents on First Franklin’s behalf. A copy of the deposition of Krystal Hall can be found at the following websites:
