Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi Settles Investigation Against
One of Florida’s Largest Foreclosure Firms
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Today Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a first-of-its-kind settlement against attorney Marshall C. Watson and his law firm, one of the largest foreclosure firms in Florida, for alleged improprieties in the prosecution of foreclosure cases throughout Florida.
This settlement, which calls for a $2 million payment and imposition of certain requirements to conduct business, is the first stemming from numerous investigations into Florida foreclosure law firms.
“We are aggressively investigating these law firms in order to protect the interests of everyone involved in foreclosure proceedings. Homeowners, lending institutions and the courts deserve to know that the law is being followed and all documentation is true and accurate,” stated Attorney General Pam Bondi. “Anything short of total assurance of complete accuracy during such serious situations is unacceptable.”
Florida led the nation in the investigation of law firms engaged in the improper production and filing of foreclosure documents. The Marshall Watson firm fully cooperated with the investigation since its inception.
Half of the $2 million payment from Marshall Watson’s firm to the Attorney General’s Office will be contributed to the Florida Bar Foundation to continue the Florida Attorney General Mortgage Foreclosure Grant Program.
This grant program provides for the funding of Legal Aid attorney positions throughout Florida specifically devoted to the representation of low-income individuals facing foreclosure actions.
The investigations into the practices of several other Florida law firms are ongoing.

why doesn’t everyone send these comments to bondi, congreemen, legislators senators mayors office instead of venting on here where it doesn’t seem to go any farther?
Do we homeowners have any reccourse if we’ve lost our FL home to foreclosure, and are certain that Marshall C. Watson attorneys was complicit in mortgage fraud in conjunction with the bank? Is there a pending class action suit? It’s apparent the FL AG is done with this and settled with Marshall C. Watson with some fluffy sanctions and a paltry fine. But what can WE do if we’ve lost our home and the documents were either mishandled or perhaps fabricated to facilitate a speedy foreclosure. HELP!
PS: I read a deposition by a former Marshall C. Watson employee (an attorney), and she confirmed that the lawfirm was handling upwards of 25,000 mortgages in FL, and that the documents were being improperly or falsely administered in many cases. During my foreclosure process, I had a cash buyer ready to close on a short sale, and pleaded with the attorneys at Watson to delay or cancel the foreclosure auction. I even filed a “motion to postpone” the foreclosure date hearing, and a “show me the note” motion requesting that Marshall C. Watson produce the original promissary note. I get responses to neither, and the foreclosure went through on Oct. 5. HOPEFULLY A CLASS ACTION SUIT WILL BE INITIATED AGAINST MARSHALL C. WATSON!
Thanks Katheryn…We need to get all info out to everyone…exposure is the ticket…than others pick it up and the word spreads… I actually feel like I had a nightmare about the Florida legislators…it is so hard to believe they had the guts to even pull all this / their shit….and turn on the people of Florida. They need to be kicked out of government and continued to be kicked down every level of steps in front of the capitol and into the street. We need to swamp the governor and anyone in the capitol with complaints of what they have done. A waste of tax dollars when in fact if they have that kind of lax time..than put them on part time with no benefits…we did not and are not going to pay them to shaft the citizens on government time. The governor is looking to ‘ cut some cords ‘…..it is obvious the legislators have to much time on their hands. I read an article this week telling how the Governor made a remark of how many people are in the capitol everyday…..he said ‘ alot of people ‘.
Well, what does he expect when the Banksters Association with about 200 or so hang there as a meeting place…LOL…with the legislators. Remove them and the crowd thins out.
It is a living nightmare! I keep referring to the “Twilight Zone” cause that’s what it feels like. It is hard to comprehend that our banking system is embezzling perhaps trillions of dollars from it’s citizens with the government and those in charge turning a blind eye. Even analyzing the response of the average ‘Joe’ with no mortgage issues, seems to be totally blazay to find MERS is a banking corporate shell, designed to steal revenue from states, cities and town all over the United States does appear to bother them in the least?????
What is interesting is how angry people were over Bernie Madoff…..it caused instant angry gut reactions from people wanting to kill him and everything inbetween. The reaction was not just from the people who were embezzled, but also from the general public.
If we think back to Watergate. Once exposed, brought outcrys of rage from the general population. People involved were quickly prosecuted and did jail time….so we ask ourselves why is this so different? Why are people not enraged by these acts of theft? Why is our legal system and politicians refusing to hold these people and corporations accountable for crime???? My honest belief is that the “deadbeat” homeowner media coverage went a long way in helping to divert attention from the real criminals. That has to be countered in order to really get the public to see the real picture and that they are equally being robbed and are allowing white collar crime to destroy this country, their neighborhoods and their home values. When you put things in terms of what it means from a monetary standpoint to them each personally, then they tend to “get it”. Just my two cents worth.
I have also sent letters to Michael Moore (yes) I think he can help the cause because he was what was really taking place before many of us and he has media contacts. I have also sent letters to people such as Lou Dobbs or anyone I think may take an honest look even if they don’t at first agree. We need extensive media coverage. Just a suggestion, but we can all continue to nag at our AGs but I would also prepare a short letter and email blast anyone in the media, (TV or Newspapers) and give them good and factual information. I always direct them to these websites also. All we can do is try and hope that God smiles down on us. He does work in mysterious ways!
Yes, BANKS have billions of dollars! But these billions are just a number in the computer system. Did you heard about tsunami in Japan? The USA have debt in Japan (and other countries!), and they will try to get money to restore their country. Another ‘BUT’: they do not want VIRTUAL AIR money, which have not value! So, America need REAL hard earned OUR MONEY to cover up Country’s DEBT. If America will not find REAL MONEY – its economy just will collapse COMPLETELY. It is WHY nobody care about us, while ENTIRE COUNTRY IN DANGER! I expect in 2-3 months big “surprise” … This is my OPINION protected by the First Ammendment.
count me in. i am in california. we will do it until these politicians has run out of excuses. we are the “EYES” of this big govt. corruption.
NO WAY NO HOW can we stand still for this! They go for your balls this time, and surely, it will be your heart the next time. What fools do they take us for? Do we have to make this another Egypt before these arrogant bastards take us seriously?
The AG & governor’s office must be inundated with phone calls, faxes, & Emails expressing our outrage. Then a massive protest must be scheduled for Tallahassee ASAP. All other avenues like blogs, talk shows, newspaper columns, circulars, etc must be utilized as well. Other states will surely follow our lead.
Unfortunately, the problems we face extend far beyond the foreclosure issue. They embrace a range of issues emanating from the bad behavior of big corporations and their willing accomplices, the corrupt(ed) politicians. We must fully understand that this will not remedy itself without our intervention, and that we are forced to act NOW. November 2012 will be much too late. This is really our last chance to stop this incredible corruption in its tracks. Otherwise we will slide into a defeat suitable for pathetic fools that squandered the opportunity to mitigate such hideous oppression. We did not choose to be the ones to shoulder this burden, but nevertheless, it’s up to us, it has to be us, who step up and recover our nation from the worst tyranny in our history.
A dialog must be established to map out elements of the above actions.
Robert….I felt this had to get out in the open…people must realize what is going on in our government here in Florida. For their information this is not how a government is run…we did not vote them in to swindle and play dirty ‘ tricks ‘ on the citizens as they are doing….all in the name of corruption. We also must get the names of those who ‘ voted ‘ to pass this corruption thru. I am e-mailing the Senator from my area…we both live in the same town….and I will ask for an appointment to speak to her. My daughter and I had a short visit with her while we were up in Tally on March 9th Rally.
My daughter also knows a reporter from our area (Sarasota/Venice) and I will find out from her how to contact him…. to see what he can do in Newspapers. But in the mean time EVERYONE NEEDS TO START NOW..E-MAILING, FAX A LETTER OR SEND IT TO NEWSPAPERS…MAKE PHONE CALLS…CALL YOUR SENATOR…..LET OTHER’S KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR STATE, OUR HOMES, OR TO FIGHT BACK IF YOU LOST YOUR HOME… COME ON FOLKS..WE MUST ALL UNITE TOGETHER …TO BE HEARD. WAKE UP AMERICA….
I looked up articles about foreclosuregate and got the name of the reporter and wrote to them via email in hopes to get more major publication attention.
Marilyn and others! What are you talking about? I saw last night (Ch. 12 NBC) on 3:00 or 4:00 AM (when all normal people sleep!) about “Rally in Tally”… It was told NOTHING about fraud in the foreclosure, they showed some people in green t-shirts (not us!), one black women was crying (I did not understand no word! My English is so-so…). It seems we need OUR OWN PRIVATE TV & RADIO CHANNELS to tell people the truth about situation in this area.
YOU THINK FLORIDA’S ATTORNEY GENERAL IS OFF BALANCE….CHECK THIS OUT…….http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/deficiency-judgments-let-creditors-haunt-borrowers-for-up-to-20-years/1160128 AND THIS…..THE CORRUPT LEGISLATURE…IN BED WITH THE FRAUDSTER BANKSTERS ……http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/stateroundup/florida-legislature-proves-once-and-for-all-that-it-is-for-sale/1159953 NOW EVERYONE WILL SEE WHY FLORIDA IS A FU+=+ED UP MESS……COMPANIES HAVE ALL LEFT AND PEOPLE ARE LEAVING AND IT’S THE TALK OF THE DAY. IT IS A SICKO GOVERNMENT. THIS IS ALL UP TO DATE NEWS…WHAT IS HIDDEN IS PROBABLY THE WORSE ONE CAN IMAGINE. FLORIDA CITIZENS PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW..PUT IT ON BLOGS…SPREAD THE WORD. THIS NEEDS TO BE SHOUTED LOUD AND CLEAR. WE HAVE A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT….AND THEY BRAG ABOUT IT.
JUST ANOTHER SCAM THAT I HAVE ALREADY ADDED THE OTHER DAY… A REMINDER TO ALL FLORIDA CITIZENS….CORRUPTION RUNS DEEP….THE LEGISLATURE SUCKS…WHORE MASTERS THAT ARE PRETENDING TO BE SAINTS……http://api.ning.com/files/RXV3rkZO8NpRNx-5XNm2PeaHK86zSjm0NQwVDquTasOnMZ-DB*zjuLBgaozZEhIc5OX3S8yNUHpRZcqTCxUxBOv1oYaEQOAZ/PRETENDER_LENDERS_MOVING_ON_STATE_LEGISLATURES1.pdf ….ADD THIS TO THE ABOVE LINKS… SHALL WE ALL GO TO TALLAHASSEE AND DEMAND TO BE ‘ PAID ‘ FOR THE SCR*WING THAT WE ARE GETTING….AFTER ALL THEY ARE GETTING PAID CORRUPT BUCKS TO DO IT.
and the fraud continues…..
She took a pay off no way around it judging from how the young lady looks unless this is a really old picture,she evidently did it so she would have enough cosmetics to see her through a lifetime of lies.She’s also really notold enough or mature enough to see the consquences of her roll over and die attitude.Sucks to be that young and that dumb.
what good did it do to fine them a small% of their profit they made off us thru fraud it has no teeth how about jail and loss of their license tou know they will find a way to stay in action.
Why did I reread? I can’t belive what I just read is why. Disclaimer that the party is not guilty of any acts. Statements of wrongs the Legal Services attorney’s found in documents filed with public offices.
Falsified documents in NJ filed with public office is a felony.
Congress finds another way to ‘sanction’ lawlessness.
Where is the legal case enforcing law?
Congress controls whether or not AG can move forward.
This is the end of the investigation….why did you bother even having one? I sit here with numerous fraudelent
documents from Watson, and if I had not been smart enough to catch the mistakes my home would have
been STOLEN from me. My life would have changed…and $2,000,000 without admitting any wrong doing
means the slate is just erased..like none of this ever happened? The countless lives that have been changed
forever..and Watson is back to business. This is called prosecution by the State? You represent the people
of Florida, not the banks nor the criminal legal firms who have profited by their own lies.
You just gave them a “get out of jail free” card…for $2,000,000? I guess you should be thanking all us fools
out there who get screwed. Our pain is the government’s gain…..Shame on you…you had all the information
you needed to prosecute this case. You should be embarassed…all that power your are intrusted with and
you totally “give in.” You had a chance to do a noble job for the people….to fight for us…..and you chose not
to……business as usual for the government.
Nothing is going to happen until people organizes i n protests against all of these crooks, like they doing in WI and all over the world specially the middle east,what is happening to the USA is call Plutocracy look it up PLUTOCRACY
@I VENT HONORABLE JUDGE MOSHE JACOBIUS cook county circuit courts chancery tribune,maryellen podmolik reporter. lisa madigan played stupid with me too.lost my file @5 times and didnot get it.Good luck to you all GOD BLESS AMERICA
All this fraud with the approval of the Florida Bar Association…………..
These Law Firms and Attorneys should be sanctioned and fined, maybe even lose their licenses.
What kind of attorney is the AG? What settlement? Does she consider this a feather in her cap?
This is a “SHAM” proceeding. 2mil is a drop in the bucket for these bank funded law firms, and on top of that it is going right back in to the coffers of the “BROOD OF VIPERS” who do the most lobbying of our legislature who are currently and continuously advocating changes in our laws to benefit their brood. copy and past this link: http://www.floridabar.org/cmdocs/bd160.nsf/WDOCS/7F810CD5A61B5E6185257686005193E0
and read the PDF files from the snakes themselves. They are trying to change the CONSTITUTION for GOD sakes.
CHECK THIS OUT!!!!! A Judge in my state of Ill. in the County of Cook halted 1700 FRAUDCLOSURES BY FISHER AND SHAPIRO. LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO — USE FAULTY AFFADAVITS TO FRAUDCLOSE. WHEN THE JUDGE ASKED THE ATTORNEY HOW THEY WOULD FIX THE AFFADAVITS, THE ATTORNEY DESCRIBED THE FRAUDULENT WAY HE WOULD FIX THEM.. HE TOLD THE JUDGE HE WAS GOING TO — USE MORE FRAUD TO FIX THE FRAUD. THE JUDGE STOPPED ALL THE FRAUDCLOSURES BY FISHER AND SHAPIRO BECA– USE OF F_R_A_U_D_ in the FRAUDCLOSURES. I do not know the name of the judge, I will look for the link in my local news stories and post it here. IT IS ABOUT TIME., DUH!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! SWEET HOME CHICAGO!!!!!!
Fisher and Shapiro, Fannie’s criminal attorney network are trying to FRAUDCLOSE on my home in the name of MERS. I had a title search done and there was no mortgage recorded on the title until 14 years after I bought my home. THAT IS FRAUD. They only get 12 years under the statute of limitations. My public recordings show there has not been a debt assigned to my deed in 19 years. 2 Separate county recorders offices told me in no uncertain terms, MY HO– USE IS PAID FOR, I CAN LIVE IN IT, SELL IT OR DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH IT THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS RUN OUT ON THEM TO ASSIGN A DEBT TO MY DEED.. This does not even include the ORIGINATION FRAUD I FOUND, The new pin they gave me to cover up the ORIGINATION FRAUD, 11 years after I purchased my home or the FORGED SIGNATURES ON THE COPY OF MY NOTE. No wonder my original note and mortgage are endorsed in blank. An attorney told me this is what they did. HA!!!!! WHY did they do it? To cover up for the FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT OF THE MORTGAGE AND NOTE. They needed collateral our collateral and our signature TO SPECULATE WILDLY ON WALL STREET’S CASINO OF FRAUD. THEY MADE TRILLIONS OFF OF OUR SIGNATURES BY USING THEM AS POKER CHIPS WITH THEIR CDO’S AND OTHER SPECULATIVE TOOLS. .RESCIND MY LOAN!!!!
I have seen your comments all over this site and we would love the opportunity to Review/Triage your documents…http://diligencegroupllc.net
I was getting ready to go find a notary to sign my house over to them this morning when I thought I would look up the law firm and this is what came up. I am confused. My house should have been forclosed on years ago, maybe they do not have the appropriate paperwork and can’t, so they are trying to get me to hand it over. I have thought something was not right from the day they gave me this loan.
Wow, what do I do now?
pat,hello DO NOT GIVE YOUR HOME TO THE CRIMINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE CONTACT ME a.s.a.p go to http://www.foreclosurehamlet.org.sign in and let me no u r there. gina
Stay in and enjoy your home…
We would love the opportunity to Review/Triage your documents…http://diligencegroupllc.net and recommend a very good attorney
Plutocracy, government by the wealthy, wealthy class that controls a government, often from behind the scenes, group of privileged people might shape the economy and government for their own benefit, banks, and other businesses come together as a corporate community that dominates the federal government in Washington. Their real estate, construction, and land development companies form growth coalitions that dominate most local governments. Owned by the hyperwealthy and operated in their own economic self-interest, Government by the wealthy. A country or state governed by the wealthy people
I don’t know what ya’ll really expected in the end. This will be replicated all over the country and by the state AGs and Feds with the banks.
The operative thought is “To Big To Fail”. Do you think after pumping 3.5 trillion into the banking system to save the big boys they are going to let anybody, of any party, do anything to jeopardize the continuation of the banks that were just bailed out? Why do you think there is a bill working it’s way through congress that will let the banks skate on the sloppy paperwork and false legal filings?
The reality is that we try to help one homeowner at a time and win those battles that we can. Most will fall prey to the powers that be because they won’t or can’t take up the good fight or live in non-judicial foreclosure states where it is almost impossible to fight in the State Courts because non of the judges get it still. The most sucesses here are in the Bankruptcy Court where the judges are extremely well learned and smart and the Trustees understand the arguments.
Those who talk about bringing down the big banks and prosecuting senior banking executives for the crimes they have committed (which are voluminous) are just out of touch with the political realities and blowing smoke up each others orafices.
The rest of us fight the good fight on a case by case basis and are winning more and more as time goes by,
TEXT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS DAMAGED AND HARD TO READ. PLEASE MAKE IT IN “BOLD” LETTERS.
Am I correct to conclude from this that the State of Florida and the courts basically don’t care about the current fraud going on in foreclosures?
I am currently being foreclosed upon by Watson.
Watson seems to have filed some erroneous documents.
Should I try to get the foreclosure dismissed because of the erroneous documents? Or am I just wasting my time?
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
If you have a MERS loan you should fight it. What are the erroneous documents ?
You should fight the foreclosure and no it’s not a waste of your time.
What county do you live iin?
In Brevard County where my property is the judicial has woken up and compiled pages off new foreclosure rules. We’ve already been successfully fighting our foreclosure, pro se, for two years. With the addition of these new rules fighting our foreclosure will be even easier. Now, instead of the court ramming through foreclosures every 3 minutes, they’ll have to stand by their own rules.
You are never wasting your time…this is why the situation exists…too many people dont think they can fight back…
We would love the opportunity to Review/Triage your documents…http://diligencegroupllc.net
Fannie Mae took thousands of files BACK from Marshall Watson, their former servicer—
-read that article on this site, sorry, I do not have the link.
Marshall Watson has/had my case but it has been taken back to Fannie.
Case on docket since 2009-stale since August 2011 –
Motion filed for In Camera Inspection of Docs & “Trade Secrets”…..
seems like she settled cheap. yes petty cash. speak up each and everyone. silence implies approval. God Bless America
I view the settlement as a joke….and still no benefit to the clients that suffered…so I am observing that settlements, as good as they may sound, are going into other pockets…your thoughts.
What the FLAG NOG is going on here? What is it about this country and all there cover ups for the Big Banks. Why is its that are leaders cant seem to lead us in the right direction. If an average Joe does anything wrong they get pinned against the wall. Thrown in jail. These @ssholes along with our fake leaders get away with Raping and pillaging the people of this country.
WHAT A FREAKIN’ JOKE.
OUR ONLY HOPE IS THAT OUR LOCAL CIRCUIT COURTS TAKE A STAND AGAINST THE BANKS GOING FORWARD.
BREVARD COUNTY, FL HAS FINALLY AWAKENED FROM THEIR STUPOR.
STILL SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ILLEGALLY FORECLOSED ON.
And Elizabeth Wellborn of Deerfield Beach skates?.
This so-called “settlement”, were it not so serious in nature, would be the JOKE OF THA DAY…! I cannot believe the Attorney General for Florida sold her office for $2 million dollars! YOU MUST CALL, EMAIL OR WRITE HER OFFICE AND COMPLAIN. The silence is deafining.
So tell me Ms. Bondi, what happens to the homeowners that has already lost a lot, due to fraud from Marshall C Watson’s law firm? Why do you think the homeowners contacted your office via complaints with documented proof of their claim? for RESTITUTION. Theirs nothing indicated in the “Assurance of Voluntary Compliance” for the homeowners that turned MCW over to you, but still you are receiving $1M in payment of all legal fees, costs and investigative fees. The Florida homeowners again has been “prostituted by it’s pimp(Florida Attorney General).”
admit to no wrong doing thats what there doing,and its funny but select portfolio servicing is one of watsons clients,they were sued a hell of alot,and they always admit to know wrong doing,yet the fraud and correption keep going,the FBI should have shut them down,this is forgery and fraud you go to prison for this kind of shit,anyone eles would have,a bribe you bet they did,CLOSE them down the att and servicers,fraud is fraud its illegal,GO TO jail you crooks………
Write to Atty Gen Pam Bondi. I did. This fine is ridiculous and the people of Florida must let her know that it is unacceptable and that she should rescind her offer because the people who elected her request it.
2 million? that is a joke!!! bribe, does sound more like it!!

2 million is not enough to penalized this law firm. they should be bar from practicing law in florida. is AG office doing their job for accepting this money? i called it a “BRIBE”
No admission of any kind, but Watson officially pays $2,000,000 to buys the AG’s promise not to prosecute him, his firm and his clients.
The AG could have prosecuted, received millions in damages from Watson and his clients, and helped stop fraudulent foreclosures, but for some reason, she chose to take a little cash and let the robbery continue.
Who does the Florida AG really work for?
You must be kidding — right? It should be $200 million and lose their law practice.
is that it? the agreement says what they did but they don’t admit it?anyone check to see if they donated to her campain?
COME ON…NOW DO YOU THINK ALL MONEY GOES TO THE CHAMPAIGN ? IF SO..HOW DO THEY ALL GET DEEP POCKETS? HMMMMMMMM
SORRY..I MEANT TO TYPE CAMPAIGN….
a “settlement” of merely $2 million dollars?
that is laughable. $2 million is not enough for ONE homeowner who has been defrauded by these crooks!
the torment, fear, anguish! the plundering of our homes and life savings!
get real, AGs!
Pam, really. help the homeowners in your state who have lost EVERYTHING!
your slide show was groovy but the homeowners need cold hard cash—everything they lost to these criminals!
