Thanks for your comment. I checked Carlton Field’s website and he doesn’t seem to handle foreclosures: http://www.carltonfields.com/aboutus/overview/

Am I missing something ?

Yes, most of his cases have been handed to the true law firm that is behind the fraud: Carlton Fields.

On December 1st, 2008 we made a business decision to stop making payments to GMAC who was the servicer of our mortgage. Fannie Mae gave the file to David J. Stern on March 16th. Stern filed a lis pendens on April 14th, 2009. His long time employee of 14 years, Cheryl Samons, posing as a vice president of MERS, signed an assignment from MERS to GMAC in order to create supposed legal standing for GMAC to bring the foreclosure. The assignment was dated April 14th (one day before the lis pendens was filed), but stated it was “effective” as of March 16th, presumably because they needed to establish that GMAC was the Plaintiff on the exact date that Fannie Mae gave them the file. First of all, MERS is a scam because they separate the mortgage from the note, and by their own admission have no beneficial interest in the note, and act only as an electronic registration system created to track assignments of mortgages, but I don’t have time to go into that now. Even IF Mers could actually claim they had legal ownership of our note AND mortgage, it wouldn’t have been legal for an employee of a plaintiff attorney to “pose” as a VP of MERS and produce an assignment in order to create legal chain of title. It’s a stretch of the imagination to believe that an employee of a bank can act on behalf of MERS, but again, that’s another argument.

Our case began after the “produce the note” defense was well known, but before the general foreclosure community started paying attention to robosigning and falsified affadavits. In addition to demanding that the plaintiff prove they had standing to foreclose and denying MERS standing to assign our mortage to GMAC, we also brought to the attention of the court that Jeffrey Stephan, acting as a limited signing officer for GMAC, stated in an affadavit that he had custody of and supervised the mortgage accounts and records of the Plaintiff including the accounts and records of the note and mortgage, when he in fact did not. Subsequently, Jeffrey Stephan was deposed by Ice Legal and declared under oath that he had signed thousands of documents without reading them and without any personal knowledge of what they contained.

The last time we responded to anything that Stern came up with was December 31st, 2009. On January 4th of 2010 our “case” was reassigned to a new judge and we haven’t heard anything again since then.

It’s now been one full year and we have heard nothing.

Does anyone know if Stern’s “cases”, which were taken back by Fannie Mae, have been given to new lawyer’s ?
